His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 52

Lily knew she would be rejected but did not expect to be turned down this quickly. Jenny Thorn's office door was shut tight, and her assistant would not let Lily in. She claimed Jenny was currently in a meeting and that non-permanent staff could not enter.

Half an hour of waiting later, Lily realized that Jenny's meeting would not end anytime soon. Instead of simply waiting outside, she opted to enter the room unannounced.

Jenny's assistant did not expect Lily to barge into the room, so she was helpless in stopping Lily and could only follow behind, yelling, "Ms. Thorn, she..."

"Who gave your permission to enter?" Jenny glanced briefly at Lily and commented in a crude tone," There's a meeting going on here. Unauthorized personnel should get out!"

"I've officially joined Rebirth as permanent staff. On that account, I'm allowed to join the meeting as a staff member for this project, not just some unauthorized personnel," Lily elaborated while walking toward an unoccupied chair and sitting down.

Jenny stared at her with disapproving eyes. "What does it matter if you're a permanent staff member? As long as I deem you unfit for my team, you'll never be accepted for this project."

Everyone else at the conference table quickly lowered their heads, pretending to be preoccupied with something other than the palpable tension in the room.

They have all heard about the rumors circling Lily Christian. They knew that their boss, Jenny, was not happy with Lily. However, Jenny had no choice but to accept Lily as it was under the orders of their director that Lily was to join their department.

In their eyes, Lily was a controversial figure with a troublesome past and dubious skills. Why did their director force Lily to join the team against his most capable subordinate's objections? It could only mean that something was going on between him and Lily.
