The Psychotic Girl’s Revenge

Rachel walked by with a stack of files in her arms, exuding elegance and grace, with a warm and gentle smile on her face. The smile ran deep. People in society were smarter than students in school, and they didn’t need much guidance from her to know how to deal with Paige. She was aware that these people, eager to curry favor with her, would soon act on their own. So, she decided to take the opportunity to deliver some files and then, as if she knew nothing, would go and show concern for Paige. After all, no one could blame her. Moving forward, she would double her efforts to show concern for Paige, making her doubt whether it was Rachel behind it all. Rachel was determined to approach Enrico through Paige.

With this in mind, Rachel smiled and continued walking, only to find three men standing in the lobby, their faces full of disbelief.

“Did you see that? Was she scared?”

“Scared? She looked at those snakes as if they were her pets.”

“She even took pictures in advance. Reporting this to the higher-ups won’t help.”

“We thought we could easily scare off a little girl from school with some small tricks, but we were wrong.”

“Forget it. I wanted to use this to curry favor with Rachel, but it’s not worth it. This woman isn’t easy to mess with, especially since the President has taken a liking to her.”

“…”

Rachel listened to this, feeling uneasy, and quickly walked towards the office. When she opened the door, there was no scene of Paige being ostracized. Instead, a group of colleagues surrounded Paige’s desk, piling things on it-

“Here, use my hand cream. It smells great and will definitely get rid of the snake odor.”

“You usually guard your stuff fiercely, and now you’re even sharing your brand-name hand cream?”

“Why not? Paige saved my life. I should be giving it to her, not just letting her use it.”

“Did you just call her Paige?”

“Yes, I like it. Paige sounds so nice.”

“You’re so brave, catching a snake with your bare hands. How did you do it?”

“I just bought this pen today. It’s for you, to thank you for saving me.”

“You’re really the guardian angel of our entire office.”

“…”

Rachel was stunned by the scene. What was going on here? The whole day, she had been trying to build relationships, and these people, who were eager to please her, were now…

Paige looked up and saw Rachel standing at the door. She smiled slightly, her voice cold, “I wonder how there were so many snakes?”

The colleagues who had spent the whole day with Rachel looked at each other awkwardly. Everyone knew what was going on.

The woman with curly hair looked at Paige with a complicated expression, “Paige, you’re still a student and too naive. In society, sometimes even if you’ve done nothing wrong, there are those with ill intentions who want to use you to climb the social ladder. So, you need to learn to protect yourself.”

She had originally had the same thoughts. But not anymore.

Paige looked in Rachel’s direction, smiling faintly, “Really? It must be nice to have power, not needing to lift a finger while others do the work for you.”

“I won’t do it again, really. I just had a moment of madness.”

The curly-haired woman said guiltily. If Paige hadn’t intervened today, she would have been bitten by the snake. Even if she wanted to curry favor with the powerful, she had to have a conscience.

“Don’t worry, I won’t engage in such behavior.”

Someone else also expressed their stance to Paige.

“You saved us today. I’ll keep an eye on Owen and the others, making sure they don’t act out again.”

Everyone gathered around Paige, expressing their gratitude.

“…”

What was going on with these guys? Weren’t they supposed to be currying favor with her? How did they turn against her in such a short time?

Rachel stood there, her face darkening.

Paige sat at her desk, calmly looking at Rachel and letting out a quiet “Oh.”

Everyone followed her gaze to Rachel, who froze. It was clear that this had something to do with Rachel, but she hadn’t explicitly asked them to target Paige.

The atmosphere became strangely tense.

Soon, someone broke the tension with a laugh, “Rachel’s back. You’re lucky you weren’t here earlier. The office was suddenly full of snakes. It was terrifying!”

“Yeah, it gave us all a big scare.”

“Time to clock out. Let’s all go home.”

With that, everyone dispersed.

Rachel realized what they meant. They were clearly not willing to offend her, but they wouldn’t target Paige anymore either.

Fine.

Just fine.

She had wasted an entire day.

Paige stood up from her desk, grabbed her bag, and left on time. As she walked past Rachel, she paused, glanced sideways at her, and said, “Sorry, did I disappoint you again?”

Rachel forced a smile, looking at Paige with innocent kindness, “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

Before she could finish, Paige had already turned and left without looking back.

Rachel clutched her chest, feeling a wave of pain from the anger surging through her body.

Nightfall.

The moonlight was hidden among the treetops, casting a dark veil over the Capital.

“Mm…”

In the room, Paige was enveloped by the man’s passionate and forceful kisses, eventually collapsing in his arms.

She lay on the bed, her breathing erratic. Her usually calm face was now flushed pink, her lips kissed to a glossy sheen, more radiant than the roses in the courtyard at night.

Enrico lay beside her, propped up on one hand, his other hand caressing her face, his fingers lightly tracing her eyebrows and nose. His deep eyes still held traces of desire, and his lips curled in lingering satisfaction.

“Tired again?”

Enrico teased her, his voice husky and seductive, his prominent Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.

“Mm.”

So tired.

Every time she was on this bed, Paige felt like she had reached her physical limit.

“You were so capable when you caught the snake at the office, and now you’re useless in bed.”

Hearing this, Paige glanced at him, “How did you know?”

“I didn’t spy on you. Your snake-catching feat spread through the Public Law Council and eventually reached the President’s office.”

Enrico traced her eyebrows and eyes as he spoke, mentioning that he had overheard the gossip at the President’s office.

“How did it get to the President’s office?”

Paige was surprised.

Was the President so idle that he listened to such gossip instead of dealing with national affairs?

“Rafael has high hopes for you as his future subordinate, so naturally, someone would report to him,” Enrico explained.

“Will he spy on me?” Paige frowned.

“You’re just an intern. There’s nothing worth spying on, so no.”

That’s good.

Paige felt relieved. Before she carried out her big plan, she didn’t want to be under constant surveillance.

“What kind of gossip did you hear?”

Paige looked at him.

Enrico raised an eyebrow and pointed to his cheek.

Paige, feeling a bit exasperated, leaned over and gently kissed the corner of his lips.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Enrico pulled her close, giving her a deep kiss before saying, “Do you really want to hear people praise you? They said that the first floor of your building is close to the bushes outside, and suddenly a few snakes came in. Everyone was scared to death, but you caught them all by yourself.”

So, that’s the version going around.

Paige touched her lips without saying anything, but Enrico shifted the conversation, his eyes staring deeply into hers, “Who let the snakes loose?”
