Chapter 149

After all the trouble Eleanor and Bailee went through, they finally arrived at Starry Gemworks during the lunch break. "Don't worry, Mr. Ware. Bailee is very reliable. Once she commits, she won't jump ship. We're in the company lobby now. Can you please come down and take us? "And since it's Bailee's first day, please don't keep the celebration too late. It's unsafe for a young lady to head home alone." Brigham's secretary, Zaid Ware, must have said something reassuring on the other end of the line because Eleanor hung up with a smug expression. She then said to Bailee, "Don't worry, Bailee. For a talent like you, even if you're hours or days late, they wouldn't dare dismiss you. Mr. Ware said he'll come down to meet you now." The security guard and receptionist in the lobby exchanged puzzled glances as they observed Eleanor and Bailee. Their behavior was even more brazen than that of the Hansen family's relatives. However, they knew the Hansen family members but had no idea who these two were. Bailee gave a slight smile and said, "When I see Mr. Ware, I'll ask him to make me a permanent employee right away. A three-month probation period is for people without skills. I don't need it." Eleanor nodded in approval. "That's my daughter—always thinking big! You're so clever!" Yolanda originally planned to have Brigham handle Bailee's matters professionally after their meeting. But after hearing their conversation, she felt that she should have him let Bailee go immediately. Soon, Bailee and Eleanor spotted Yolanda entering through the main door. "What are you doing here?" Bailee pointed at Yolanda and exclaimed, "Did you skip class to follow us?" Eleanor's face darkened at Bailee's words. "I'm sure she just wants to latch onto us now that you've landed a good job. "She's such a disgrace. Even if she graduates, no company will hire her. What if she starts pestering you for a job once you're the design department head here?" Eleanor was genuinely concerned. She looked at Yolanda with disdain, as though she were an unwelcome pest. "This isn't the place for you. Get lost, or don't blame me for being rude! You're so young and already so malicious. Not only do you refuse to help, but you also want to benefit from us? You're really embarrassing the Henderson family!" Eleanor was seething with anger toward the Hendersons. She thought they were trying to use Bailee's success to gain benefits by sticking their useless daughter with them. They were really shameless. Yolanda smirked slightly. "I'm curious to see just how rude you can be." "Do you even have any self-respect?" Eleanor's voice grew sharper as Yolanda refused to leave. "What's the point of clinging to us like a pest? This wasn't how your family treated us yesterday. "Now that Bailee's starting at a big company, you're here to try to get something out of it, right? Get lost! We have long severed ties with you!" Bailee also looked disdainful. "Yolanda, it's pointless even if you came to see me. You didn't even finish middle school and have been in a juvenile detention center. Your future is already ruined! "I heard that Aunt Diana has been boasting about that First Academy you're attending, but you might as well forget it. Everyone knows you got in through connections. Even if you graduate, which company would want someone like you?"
