Chapter 1277
Why was it that, even after coming this far, there were still people dissatisfied with her?
What more did they want her to do?
Tessa’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Grace.
“Mom, I just want to know what I’ve done wrong. Why does everyone in the company hate me so much? I’ve been working hard–what else do they want me to do?
“I’ve done so many things and tried so many times, yet people are still unhappy with me. It’s as if whatever I do is always wrong.”
As she spoke, she stepped closer and closer to Grace. “Even a lowly assistant dares to step over me and criticize me.”
Grace and Jason exchanged startled looks.
They had never seen Tessa like this before. Usually, she acted fairly normal, not panicking when things came up. But now, her whole state of mind seemed unhinged.
Grace drew in a long breath and said to her, “Don’t get so worked up. This is the company–you need to watch your image.”
“My image? Who’s ever cared about my feelings?” Tessa pressed a hand against her chest, laughing bitterly. “And Jason–what exactly did you mean by what you just said?” Her eyes burned with hatred as she turned on him.
Hearing this, Grace’s scalp prickled.
“Jason was only reporting the company’s current situation to me. There was no other meaning. Don’t read into it.”
Seeing the tears in Tessa’s eyes made Grace’s heart ache, but she knew she had to uphold her authority here at the company.
