“Well, well… I’ve got to teach you a lesson since you don’t know your place,” Gabriella snarled resentfully. Then, she made a phone call.

“You want to go up against me, Joan Watts? I’m afraid you’re still far from being my match!”

Joan glanced at her cell phone, only to realize that it was already past midnight. “Let’s call it a day now. I’ll work overtime again tomorrow, and I’ll be able to wrap it up,” she muttered to herself.

After mumbling that, she stretched before packing up. Then, she shouldered her handbag and left the office.

She had to go through a relatively short alley on her way back to her rented house. Nonetheless, she didn’t really pay it much heed since she was used to taking that alley.
