125 Tan Na (2/2)

Silver's mouth twitched, but she didn't interfere. It was Error's right to be mad at her junior's mistake.

”That...” The girl looked down, hiding her expression. ”I got distracted. I didn't realize what had happened in time. Teacher, please forgive me for my negligence. I didn't mean to do it.”

”Besides...” She hesitated for a split-second before quickly adding, ”Aren't you overestimating her importance to CEO Lu too much? She's just an ex-fiancée!”

Both Silver and Error looked at her like she was an idiot.

”So this is your trusted and 'capable junior',” Error commented sarcastically to Silver. ”Someone who didn't even know what's at stake.”

Silver blushed. She knew that he was right, and she was starting to feel irritated at the girl as well. But she couldn't help feeling defensive at Error's remark, since the girl was still her junior.

”It's because she didn't have the necessary information. If she had, she wouldn't have been so careless.”

Error snorted. ”So give her the necessary information then. I don't want a blind mouse running carelessly around my mission, making problems left and right. Silver, you know how important this is to our boss. If you weren't my friend, I would have kicked you out for this blunder without hesitation. I've already given you enough face as it is.”

Silver bowed her head in shame, her shoulders slumping. ”Thank you, Error.”

”Teacher...”

The girl on the video finally lifted her face, her expression a mixture of reticence and regret. But Silver merely glared at her with narrowed eyes.

”Shut up. You've done plenty enough. If you don't want the situation to get any more worse than it already is, then regard Miss Hui as someone more important than your life. Do you understand what I'm saying to you right now?”

”But...”

Silver's voice sharpened. ”The only reason I'm not pulling you out is because you've got in too deep with Miss Hui. Otherwise...you know what'll happen to you when my temper gets foul. You might be my junior, but I value my life more. And you've nearly jeopardized that.”

Error curled his lip at the ignorant girl on his laptop screen. It didn't escape his attention that although the girl looked like she was giving in, there remained an unyielding resolve in her eyes.

”You say that Miss Hui is only an ex-fiancée?” He twisted his lips, giving her a contemptuous look. ”Do you know how stupid you sound, saying that without knowing what kind of strings the boss is pulling behind the scenes just to keep her by his side?”
