I was staring at Michael Liu's departing figure with a foolish grin on my face for a long time. To be honest, when he made a move earlier, I felt both scared and eager. This feeling was so foreign to me, yet I really liked it. It was like a sudden stop that left my heart empty and aching. It was as if someone was scratching my heart, making me restless. I decided to take a hot shower to calm myself down. I went to the public bathroom and ran into some female workers who were just getting off their shift. "Emily Yang, I heard you have a day off today?" one of them asked. "Yes," I nodded, not wanting to talk to these women, and headed to the farthest showerhead. "Emily Yang, your chest is so big!" one factory girl said enviously after seeing me undress. "Yeah, Emily Yang, how did you get it so big?" another chimed in. "Eat well, drink well, sleep well, and it will grow naturally," I replied casually. "I don't think so," Samantha Ye interjected, entering the scene with a bandaged hand. "I've heard that a woman's chest is massaged to make it bigger. Emily Yang, could it be that you've been with too many men?" Samantha Ye was clearly trying to humiliate me. I was tired of her constant rivalry. Just because she was jealous of me? I wasn't going to take it anymore. "Samantha Ye, don't be sour grapes. If you have the ability, why don't you grow one like this? You've been with plenty of men since you were a teenager. Everyone in our neighborhood knows about it," I retorted. I wasn't going to give Samantha Ye any more face. I pulled over another girl from our factory who went to the same school as us and asked her to confirm what I was saying. That girl had also been bullied by Samantha Ye before, so she joined in and revealed more of Samantha Ye's past affairs. "Samantha Ye, I'm just stating facts," I said. The surrounding women immediately pounced on Samantha Ye with questions. "Samantha Ye, you're so impressive! Can you teach us how you do it?" "Hey, I saw you with Johnny Sun from the factory on a date the other day. Are you two together now?" I added fuel to the fire. "Johnny Sun? That ugly, short guy who looks like a monkey? Samantha Ye, you sure have low standards." Samantha Ye was furious and stormed off after threatening me. I didn't take her threats seriously and enjoyed a relaxing hot shower before returning to my dormitory to rest. The next day at work, I noticed that Ms. Wang was giving me a dirty look, probably because of the incident with Peter Dong the day before. However, I wasn't too worried. As long as Michael Liu was around, Peter Dong wouldn't dare to do anything to me. I carefully performed my duties but didn't expect Ms. Wang to come looking for me at noon. "Emily Yang, take this data to Mr. Dong," she said, handing me a thick stack of documents. My heart sank. How could this happen again? What should I do now? Ms. Wang saw that I was reluctant to go, and her face immediately fell. "Emily Yang, you are an employee of our warehouse, and Mr. Dong, the factory head, is one of our company's leaders. He asked you to deliver documents, so why are you hesitating?" I couldn't directly confront Ms. Wang, and I didn't need to. After all, I had no direct conflict with her. "Ms. Wang, it's not that I'm hesitating, but Michael Liu, the team leader, has assigned me other tasks. If you have any issues, you can go to Michael Liu to give feedback." I subtly hinted that I had Michael Liu's support, hoping that Ms. Wang would back down. Of course, I didn't say it too explicitly, just in case she found a loophole. "Michael Liu?" Ms. Wang's expression changed. It seemed like she really did have some fear of Michael Liu. "Okay, since Michael Liu has given you other tasks, you can go." Ms. Wang dismissed me with a wave of her hand. I sighed with relief and was about to leave when I saw Samantha Ye coming to get tools. An idea suddenly came to mind. This Samantha Ye always liked to rely on men, and she complained about how tiring it was to work in the workshop. She wanted to go to the office. Why not help her out? "Ms. Wang, Samantha Ye is very familiar with our business and often comes to the warehouse. Why not let her deliver the documents? She would be suitable for it too." I said this and quickly went back to my work. I didn't want to confront Samantha Ye directly. Besides, I didn't need to confront her at this time. This woman only had thoughts about men and didn't have any brains. I eavesdropped on Ms. Wang and Samantha Ye's conversation from afar. Before Ms. Wang had even finished speaking, Samantha Ye eagerly agreed. "Okay, I'll go. Thank you, Ms. Wang. If there are any more good opportunities like this in the future, you can call me anytime." It seemed like I had helped Samantha Ye in the right way. Several hours later, Samantha Ye returned from the factory office, looking very pleased. She told everyone that she wouldn't have to go to the workshop to tighten screws anymore. "I just knew I wasn't meant to tighten screws. I was born to sit in the office. Mr. Dong said so himself. He said I could go to the office tomorrow to report for duty." Samantha Ye came to the warehouse specifically to show off in front of me. "Emily Yang, I didn't expect you to play such a trick on me. But no matter, I'm a forgiving person, and I won't hold it against you." I coldly smiled. "Shouldn't you thank me? Without my recommendation, you wouldn't have gotten this opportunity." Samantha Ye didn't avoid the topic. "Humph, that's because I'm prettier and more capable than you. That's why Mr. Dong chose me and not you. It's your own fault." I didn't say anything else but silently sighed with relief. It was good that Samantha Ye was a brainless woman. If she had any brains, she would have been difficult to deal with. But with Mr. Dong's character, Samantha Ye would probably get bored with him in a few days. Oh well, at least she would be preoccupied for now. As long as Samantha Ye was preoccupied, Mr. Dong wouldn't have any designs on me, and I would be safe. However, I wasn't sure what Ms. Wang had said to Mr. Dong. I could tell that she would occasionally glance at me when I went to work every day, which made me feel uneasy. After all, my biggest supporter wasn't around. I was worried that Ms. Wang might offer me up to Mr. Dong. Michael Liu had been gone for many days. When would he return?
