Just thinking about these things made Debra feel a little better. She chuckled to herself.

“Now that you’re here at the company, you need to work hard,” she said with a smile. “I know you’ve just gotten married and your departments are close to each other, but I hope you can maintain some distance.”

She was a skilled actress. To others, it would seem like she was sincerely looking out for them. The Cooper Group had always been strongly against office romances, as they believed such relationships could lower work efficiency.

Of course, it didn’t mean employees were forbidden from dating each other. However, if two people from the same office or nearby offices began a romantic relationship, one of them would have to be transferred. This policy often led employees to bottle up their feelings, even if they liked someone, out of fear of a transfer.

Sandra smiled politely. “That’s a pity. If Mr. Victor Cooper had come in today, you wouldn’t be able to work in the president’s office.”

Debra was also one of the presidents of the company, managing several high-profit departments. Her position in the Cooper Group was critical, but even she couldn’t ignore the company’s rules. As Sandra had pointed out, if Victor returned to work, she would have to move out of her office.

What troubled Debra even more was how quickly Victor had recovered and how he was already planning to come back to work. But she really liked her current office, and there were secrets hidden inside.

Just then, Debra’s secretary, Brittany Hayes, approached. “Mrs. Debra Cooper, Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Cooper can go report now.”

Debra, still angry at the thought of Victor, found an outlet for her frustration. “How many times do I have to say it? Stop being so servile at the company. Are you servants of the Cooper family?”

Brittany quickly apologized, and Debra, feeling a bit calmer, took a deep breath.

She forced a smile and said to Wesley and Sandra, “Alright, you can go report now. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me.”

Debra was always “busy” but still made time to look after the “newbies,” so she naturally gained everyone’s praise.

Sandra nodded sincerely. “I will definitely come find you.”

The smile froze on Debra’s lips. She didn’t expect Sandra to be so straightforward. Throughout the morning, Sandra had approached her countless times. And every time, it had been for trivial matters—like where to find the charging equipment or how to use the card at the water dispenser.

Debra, in charge of half of the Cooper Group, had to personally handle such minor issues. It was almost driving her crazy.

“You can go ask my secretary,” she said, growing impatient.

Sandra looked innocent. “But you said if I have any questions, I can come to you. Your secretary won’t help me without your permission.”

Debra regretted saying that. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. “Okay, I’ll instruct her to find someone to assist you.”

Sandra didn’t reply, but it was almost lunchtime.

“Okay, but should I still come to you if I have any more questions?”

Debra was speechless. She wanted to say no, but she had promised earlier that morning at the entrance of the Cooper Group, and she needed to keep her word. She didn’t want to be laughed at.

She rubbed her temples. “If others can’t solve it, you can come to me.”

“You’ll have a hard time this afternoon,” Wesley remarked.

Sandra casually placed a piece of steak in her mouth. “I’ll handle whatever comes my way.”

“Aren’t you worried that Debra might frame you on purpose and make you leave?” Wesley asked, though he already knew she had the skills to handle it. Still, his expression remained indifferent. It was hard to tell whether he wanted Sandra to stay or go.

Luckily, Sandra had a strong mindset and excellent resilience.

“Do you think Debra would give up on the Cooper family just because I’m afraid?” she asked, shrugging.

Wesley was silent. Of course, the answer was no.

Sandra smiled. “Then why should I be in a bad mood?”

Wesley, feeling a little more at ease, looked forward to the afternoon.

Two hours later, Sandra arrived at the tech department, only to be stopped by an intern.

“Mrs. Cooper, could you help me with this program?” The intern looked young and honest, but Sandra wasn’t easily fooled.

She patted the intern’s shoulder with a knowing look. “It’s okay if you can’t solve it now. You’ll realize that… there are still many things you won’t be able to handle.”

She smiled professionally.

The intern blinked, clearly confused. “Then, could you help me take a look now?”

“No,” Sandra refused without hesitation. “Because I can’t deal with it either.”

The intern was speechless.

Naturally, she couldn’t press further without exposing herself. But before Sandra could walk away, another person stopped her.
