Fortunately, Paige already hid the deliveries she got from Estelle as well as the morning-after pills at the top of the curtains. Seeing how Zion was willing to upgrade the quality of her working environment, Paige immediately pulled into a bright smile and replied, “That’s kind of him, but I thought we’re on a tight budget? Who’ll be responsible for this sum of money?”“The cost will be put under Manager Zion’s account. He was, after all, concerned about everyone’s well-being,” Seeing how Paige agreed to his proposal without any hesitation, Leon was secretly excited but he kept a straight face while instructing the moving staff to change the furniture in Paige’s office.Paige started to gather and put away the stationery and equipment on her desk under Leon’s attention. However, matter how hard he tried to look, Leon could not find anything that was suspicious.Not long after, the desk and chairs were changed and Leon was worried that Yoel would catch on to his plan, hence he quick

“I’ll be reassured if you stay this calm and composed when dealing with matters,” Estelle always treated Paige as her younger sister, hence she was proud when Paige improved.Paige worked hard for quite some time and even though her efforts started paying off, she was not conceited. Instead, she replied earnestly, “I will. Estelle, you’ve taught me enough for the day. As for the rest, I’ll look into them myself and if I come across anything that I don’t know, I’ll talk to you again then, okay?”“Sure, I’ll be waiting for your call,” This was the first time someone learned from her. Hence, Estelle was unwilling to end the call as she was worried that her pupil still had questions to ask.With a fruit platter in his hands, Skyler waited for Estelle to get off the call for quite some time while he sat on the sofa next to her. After Estelle got off the phone, he walked towards her and said, “I’m guessing it’s Paige again? She seems to have changed a lot, hasn’t she? She sounded composed

“So, that was roughly what went down. If it was some other sport, I would’ve bitten the bullet and gone with it. But, it’s a swimming competition and everything would be exposed if I were to show up that day,” Paige said frustratingly before adding, “Estelle, Director Flynn, I think that this is a trap.”Upon hearing this, Skyler said faintly, “There’s no doubt that this is a trap. Zion isn’t the type who’d spend a large amount of money on something useless. It might be possible that he’s trying to test you with this swimming competition.”Skyler and Estelle exchanged a look and both of them immediately thought of Paige’s identity.Paige was most worried about her identity being exposed as well. She buried her head in her arms and said, “Am I done for good now? If he suspects that I’m a fake, I’d still be exposed either way if I show up or not!”She would need to be in swimming attire for the event. Paige was only able to disguise herself as a man with the shoulder pads and all but

Zion came up with the idea of having a swimming competition as most of them would be less covered up and some things would be easily noticed.In the blink of an eye, the day of the swimming competition arrived. Even though the competition was set for noon, most of the staff started feeling excited in the morning.With Zion’s approval, most of the debt collectors that were gathered at the main entrance dispersed and the employees were able to exit and enter the building more easily. Hence, most of them were in a good mood. Aside from Paige who hid in her office, most of them were in the middle of preparing for the competition.The swimming pool was a ten-minute walk from the company. Zion called Madison over just as they were about to leave. He asked gently, “Did you sign up for the competition later?”“I sure did. I learned to swim back in school,” Madison replied with a bright smile.Zion then added, “I have a task for you but it may be a bit tricky. You can say no if you’re unco

“Yeah, how would you know how it feels when you’re not even close?” Someone else added.The ladies had their eyes fixed on Yoel who dressed awkwardly for a swimming competition. They doubted that Yoel might have been a slim and pale young lad as he was always dressed in long sleeves. Hence, the ladies assumed that Yoel was simply making a passing comment.Paige did not expect that her comment would arouse the ladies’ curiosity. She cursed at herself for making a useless comment and now all the attention was on her.“I’m just guessing,” Paige started coming up with excuses, “in either case, we’re all men, I’m sure it’s pretty much similar.”One of the female staff studied her skeptically as she insisted, “I don’t think that’s the case. How would guessing and reality be the same? Director Fabian, it’s not like you’ve seen Manager Zion’s body before.”All of a sudden, the ladies kept quiet as they were suddenly reminded of how Yoel showed his affection for Zion.Paige, who felt awkw
