Wooing My Ex-Wife

Whitney raised her head and shot an indifferent look at the ladies. “What do you want? Do you want to fight?’

Josie Ickleton, who shared a close bond with Lana, quickly offered a smile. “Absolutely not. This is the employees’ cafeteria, and it’s frequented by the company’s higher-ups and employees. It wouldn’t be wise to let the entire company in on the dispute within the logistics department, don’t you agree?”

Whitney lowered her head and ate her lunch. “If you want to fight, I’m ready to accept your challenge whenever you want. But if that’s not the case, then please stop bothering me.”

Her indifferent attitude made the ladies upset. Nevertheless, they didn’t express their anger as they still needed her help.

Lana spoke up. “Whitney, today’s incident was entirely my fault. I only intended to tease you with the mouse, but I never anticipated your ruthless reaction. Honestly, you’ve proven yourself to be more skilled and capable than our male colleagues in the department.”

Whitney grew impatient. “What do you want to say? Just be straightforward.”

“It was a harmless prank, so there’s really no need to involve the higher-ups, right? I know Isaac is your sugar daddy, but please, let’s keep this incident between us. I promise not to play any more tricks on you. Can’t we find a way to get along with each other?”

Whitney furrowed her brows as her hand froze midair. “Allow me to reiterate that I have no personal connection whatsoever with Isaac Turner. Please stop spreading rumors. I don’t want these baseless speculations to tarnish either my own reputation or that of Mr. Isaac Turner.”

The other ladies rolled their eyes silently.

It’s pretty obvious, though. Why is she still playing dumb? Is it that hard to admit that she got this job through him?

Reluctantly, they had no alternative but to relent and offer solace. Lana replied, “Fine if that’s what you want. We won’t bring this up again. You can focus on your responsibilities during your probationary period, and we’ll refrain from interfering in each other’s matters. What do you say?”

Whitney agreed readily, “I won’t complain to anyone. Don’t worry.”

She got up with her tray and left the table where she was surrounded by Lana and the others. She went to a secluded spot in the corner, settled down, and resumed enjoying her meal.

As soon as Whitney left, Lana couldn’t help but scoff. “Let’s just tolerate her for now. When her probationary period nears its end, I’ll figure out a way to get rid of her.”

Josie commented softly, “I must admit, she’s quite skilled. I can’t believe how swiftly she caught that mouse and fearlessly dealt with it. It seems she’s good at fighting. We should be cautious just in case she decides to retaliate.”

Lana remained unperturbed. “She isn’t the only one in the company with a backer.”
