Chapter 22 Punishment After speaking his piece, Daniel started to leave, a plastic bag in hand. Jessica snatched the bag away and demanded, "Do you really think I'm the kind of person who only cares about profits?" "Does it matter if you are or not?" "What do you mean by that?" "Had I not bumped into Joshua by chance and unintentionally helped TMO, would you ever chere to see me? No, you wouldn't! I would be left to live in this rat-and-roach-infested dump, akin to a trash heap. It's clear that I'm insignificant to you. There's no point insticking around as your assistant. Let's just part ways amicably! I don't even want the last two days' pay I'm leaving now!" "Don't you dare go!" Jessica blocked Daniel, not letting him leave. For sreason, the thought of him leaving caused an ache in her chest, almost as If her beloved was growing wings and flying away. But she'd only known him for two days! Could she have fallen for him that quickly? No, that wasn't love; it was just gratitude.

That's what Jessica told herself. This man had saved her grandfather and helped secure the deal with The Grants. She owed him big time, and that's why she felt thankful.

"You wantto stay? Fine, but I refuse to live in this dump any longer. If you really wantto stick around, arrange forto stay in a five-star hotel.

At Daniel's words, Brittany scowled, "Stay in a five-star hotel? Who do you think you are? Ma'am Jessica, you can't indulge such a waste of space you should just let him go!" "You shut your mouth! I told you to arrange the best accommodation for Daniel, and this is what you give him? Since this room is 'the best' in your eyes, then you'll stay here for the next month! You have to complete a full month, not a day less. If you can't stand it, then resign!" Jessica was furious. Brittany had targeted Daniel multiple times, and if she didn't teach her a lesson now, she'd never learn respect.

Brittany dared not speak again, her eyes burning with resentment toward Daniel. Before this 'waste of space' showed up, she was Jessica's golden girl, never having received a harsh word. And now, thanks to Daniel's provocation, Jessica scolded her and sentenced her to live next to garbage! Brittany's heart seethed with frustration, but she had no choice but to endure.

"Apologize to Daniel!" "I have to apologize to him?" "I said apologize!" Brittany's eyes grew even more venomous as she begrudgingly muttered, "Sorry." "If you bully Daniel again, it won't just be a month in this dorm room," Jessica warned.

"Yes, Ma'am Jessica."
