NovelReadingChapter 285 Don't BotherNo one warnedthat skipping post-workout stretches would be this painful! Just picking up a pen took all my strength. How was I supposed to do anything else? As if things weren't bad enough, Jules walked in to informthat I had another meeting to attend.
I lay face down on my desk, defeated. But ultimately, I was dragged up and shoved into the elevator by Jules. The moment it started, Dad's face was practically glowing with satisfaction.
"I just got a call from the City Energy Commission. The government is highly optimistic about our new energy project." As he said that, he turned to me. "This is all thanks to our vice president, Jane, for her incredible foresight and vision." I smiled slightly and glanced at Jack.

After all, the company had two vice presidents, but everyone knew Dad wasn't talking about him.
Dad and I exchanged a glance, and then he continued, "Because of this, the City TV Network wants one of our representatives to appear on an interview program. The main purpose of today's meeting is to choose the company representative. Since Jane initiated the project and personally secured the deal, she's the most knowledgeable person to speak on it." The other board members nodded in agreement. The decision was made so quickly that before I even had the tto process it, I was already chosen as the representative.
The interview was set for Friday night, and before then, I needed to find a suitable outfit to appear on TV.
I had already checked my wardrobe at home, but after watching spast interviews, I realized I didn't have anything quite right for the occasion. So, after work, I headed to the mall, hoping to find something that fit the bill.
Just as I stepped out of the elevator, I locked eyes with Elsa, who was passing by. Her first reaction was to look behind me, searching for someone. Failing to see Eric, she disappointedly retracted her gaze.
I chuckled. "No need to look. Eric didn't ctoday." Elsa forced out a nervous laugh. "Jane, please don't misunderstand. I only admire him. I don't have any other intentions." She frantically waved her hands as if she had been wrongfully accused.
If I didn't already know what kind of person she was, I might have actually believed her.

She didn't answerdirectly but smiled. "News like this spreads quickly in the company." Then, without warning, she reached out and hooked her arm around mine, acting as if we were close.
I calmly pulled away and asked icily, "What do you want?" Faced with my question, Elsa was unfazed and smiled sweetly. "I've never been to a TV station before. I'm really curious about what it looks like inside. Jane, can you takewith you?" I turned to look at her, scanning her up and down. Sometimes, I truly didn't understand how her mind worked. Our relationship was
already hanging by a thread, yet she still had the audacity to askfor favors like nothing had ever En happened. Her shamelessness truly knew no bounds.
I met her eager gaze and slowly responded, "No. If you ever manage ve. to land areal position in the ve company, then maybe you can think about tagging along."
I added, "I have things to do, and I know you wouldn't be at the mall alone. Please don't bother me." Without waiting for her to react, I turned and walked away.
