Chapter 2441
So, he said, “It’s Ms.
Burton… It’s Dulcie’s first day here.
Understandably, she hasn’t learned all the rules yet.
Maybe we should reconsider after her probation period.
”
Kyson’s expression softened considerably.
“Alright then.
Since you’re speaking up for her, today will just be a warning.
If it happens again, she’ll be fired.
”
“Understood,” Kurt replied, bowing slightly.
Seeing Dulcie’s lack of response, he winked at her and whispered, “What are you waiting for? Thank Mr.
Shaw.
”
Dulcie bowed deeply.
“Thank you, Mr.
Shaw.
”
Kyson stared at her gravely for a moment, and then turned and left.
As Kurt and Kyson entered the elevator, relief swept through the entire floor’s employees.
Audrey, already in tears from Kyson’s reprimand, sobbed and wiped her eyes with a tissue.
Colleagues nearby rushed to comfort her.
Through tears, she angrily blamed Dulcie, saying, “This is all your fault! Why did you ask me so many questions? Mr.
Shaw scolded me, and I nearly lost my job! I’m sure my salary will be docked now.
And Mr.
Shaw probably has a bad impression of me…”
Dulcie felt a twinge of guilt for involving Audrey.
“I apologize.
If this affects your salary, I’ll reimburse you next month from my internship earnings.
”
Audrey found some relief upon hearing this.

Recognizing Dulcie’s compassion, Audrey pressed further, saying, “Mr.
Shaw scolded me.
How will you compensate for the stress? Don’t think Kurt’s defense absolves you.
”
Dulcie pivoted in her chair, her posture stiffening as she resumed typing without a word.
Seeing her silence, Audrey grew more incensed.
“What’s with the attitude? I answered your questions kindly.
You got me in trouble, and you think an insincere apology is gonna make up for it?”
Dulcie sighed.
She offered a sincere apology, but Audrey dismissed it as insincere.
Dulcie chose not to explain.
Her aloof demeanor infuriated those siding with Audrey.
They deliberately spoke loudly within earshot of Dulcie.
“Someone seems eager to catch Mr.
Shaw’s attention.
”
“I share the same sentiment.
She spoke extensively even before Mr.
Shaw asked her anything.
Looks like she was trying to impress him.
”
“She’s just a first-day intern.
Why did Kurt step up to defend her? Is there something between them?”
“It seems quite probable… Kurt is Mr.
Shaw’s most capable assistant and has been with him since the beginning.
If Dulcie’s with him, she’s likely riding on his coattails!”
