But she swore to God that she wanted nothing but to earn a living.

All she needed from Hector was his money.

When Raegan didn't say anything, Shayla thought Raegan acquiesced. So, she said harshly, “Stop pretending to be innocent. I've seen a lot of women like you. Are you not ashamed of doing nasty things in the name of work? How despicable!"

Raegan couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"Miss, you don't even know me. How can you accuse me of such things? Don't they say that thinkers are doers?"

Shayla was stunned for a moment. She wanted to refute Raegan, but she knew in her heart that Raegan hit the nail on the head. So, she could only say, "Do you think Hector is interested in you? Yes, you are beautiful. But it doesn't mean that he will like you. You are just a stand-in."

The words “stand-in" confused Raegan. She couldn't help asking, “What do you mean?"

Shayla blurted out, "You and the woman in the photo in his study..."

But before she could finish her words, a deep voice interrupted her.

"Miss Gordon..."

It was Hector, who was walking down the stairs. He looked exceptionally handsome in his tailored suit and leather shoes.

Shayla immediately stopped speaking, thinking that Hector was trying to persuade her to stay, so she stood obediently.

But when Hector approached her, he said in a low voice, “You can get your last paycheck tomorrow."

“What? But..."

Shayla thought she heard it wrong. She raised her head, put on a charming smile, and asked, "Mr. Dixon, what did you say?"

Hector said indifferently, “Starting tomorrow, you will no longer be my assistant."

Shayla bit her lower lip and said pitifully, “Mr. Dixon, what... What do you mean?"

Hector retorted impatiently, "Miss Gordon, do you have hearing loss?"

While listening to their conversation, Raegan wanted to burst into laughter. But she knew it was not proper for her to interrupt them with her laughter, so she only lowered her head.

Shayla's eyes turned red, and she choked with sobs. When she saw the impatience on Hector's face, she didn't dare to speak again. She was scared of annoying him more.
