Married a Secret Billionaire -
Chapter 1175
After Mollie's grand introduction of Gia, Lina noticed a hidden panic in Gia's eyes when their gazes met. Lina maintained a calm smile, knowing that Gia must be feeling uneasy about being assigned to the Thompson Group for her internship.
"Alright, everyone, take the time to get acquainted with your new colleague today. Let's work together and contribute to the company's success!" Mollie gave Gia a suggestive look, indicating the well-prepared excellent spot for her.
Gia approached hesitantly, feeling an unsettling gaze that made her uncomfortable.
During lunch break...
Gia quickly entered Mollie's office, closed the blinds, and shut the door tightly.
"What's the matter?" Mollie thought Gia came to bring her a gift, crossing her arms and smiling. "We're family, no need to be formal! Even though I'm your distant aunt, we're both Chapmans. It's natural for me to help you! By the way, what did you bring me as a gift?"
Gia stood there empty-handed, taken aback.
Mollie's expression shifted. Her smile vanished as she pushed her glasses and looked at Gia with a cold tone. "No gift?"
"Well..." Gia disregarded the gift and asked anxiously, "Aunt Mollie, is this... the Thompson Group?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"You didn't tell me earlier that it's an internship at the Thompson Group!?"
Mollie looked at Gia as if she were a monster. So what if she didn't mention it? Wasn't Gia just looking for a job? What difference did it make where she ended up?
Moreover, getting an internship opportunity at the Thompson Group wasn't easy. Many interns fought for it but couldn't secure it. And now this girl was dissatisfied?
Mollie coughed lightly, feeling annoyed as she scrutinized Gia.
"Gia, this internship opportunity is rare. You need to seize it!" Her tone carried a hint of mockery. "You know how your parents are doing. Would you have ended up here if they could help you find an internship? I'm the only Chapman who could get you in!"
"Well... You're right, but..."
But Lina was the company's heiress!
Suddenly, Gia realized that her aunt might have no idea about Lina's true identity.
That's right. When Gia saw Lina and Renee earlier, their seats were close to the restroom.
Knowing Mollie's habit of flattery toward superiors, if she knew that Lina was Nicholas' beloved daughter, she would surely be ingratiating herself to them, wouldn't she?
Gia paused and looked at her aunt.
Her distant aunt also looked at her arrogantly as if finding her this job was a great favor.
Gia inwardly sneered.
To be cautious, she decided to confirm it. "Aunt Mollie, I'm new here and don't know these people. I need some time to get familiar. By the way, I saw two girls around my age sitting near the restroom earlier..." "You mean them?" Mollie sneered lightly. "They're just poor students interning here. If you have any tasks, you can assign them to them!"
"Huh?" Gia pretended not to know. "Isn't that inappropriate? We're all interns. I don't have the right to assign work to them."
"Are you daft!?" Mollie glared at Gia with a disdainful smirk on her face. "They're just two poor students with no connections or support. What's wrong with assigning them some work? You're my niece, your status and position are naturally different from theirs!"
Gia nodded, understanding the situation. She realized that Mollie never truly valued her and that what Mollie did was even worse than stirring up trouble.
Gia had to set clear boundaries with her aunt to protect herself.
"Oh, by the way, you're interning here because of your boyfriend, right?" Mollie asked.
Gia was taken aback and stuttered in response.
