Chapter 484:
They were better off keeping their distance from each other.
Coming back to the present, Bella frowned deeply.
Tessa should have been dismissed by Lynn already. So why was she still here?
Yelena raised an eyebrow at Bella and asked, “Surprised to see me p>
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Bella replied.
“You don’t? Good. Let’s keep it that way,” Yelena replied coolly. Yelena didn’t wait for a response and promptly marched into Lynn’s office with Tessa in tow. Lynn looked up, startled, and then snapped angrily, “What are you doing here? Get out p>
Yelena responded coolly to Lynn, “She’s staying p>
Tessa was taken aback, staring at Yelena in utter disbelief.
She had hoped Yelena might have devised some clever strategy to assist her, but she hadn’t anticipated such a forthright approach.
This was just… too audacious!
Lynn stared at Yelena, and then burst into laughter.
She found the situation absurdly humorous.
Tessa was someone the CEO’s daughter herself wanted out. Did Yelena genuinely believe that her mere statement could alter the situation?
“I have no time for this—Get out,” Lynn repeated.
Yelena glanced at her watch and started counting down. “Five, four, three, two p>
Lynn watched Yelena, her expression a mix of confusion and irritation, wondering what Yelena was up to now.
Lynn locked eyes with Yelena, her glare colder than the frostiest winter night. “Yelena, if you keep this up, I’ll kick you out too p>
Yelena didn’t flinch. “One p>

As Yelena finished her quiet countdown, the sharp sound of the office landline on Lynn’s desk shattered the tense silence. The unexpected ring jolted Lynn out of her irritation.
After all, the landline was reserved solely for urgent internal calls—used by top executives to reach her directly.
Lynn snapped, her voice sharp and biting. “Get out!” But before she could wait for Yelena to leave, she snatched up the phone in haste.
Out of the corner of her eye, Yelena noticed a small tug at the hem of her shirt. Turning her head, she saw Tessa clutching onto her with a worried look.
Tessa, aware of Lynn’s petty and ruthless reputation, knew once they crossed her, there was no second chance.
In a low, urgent voice, Tessa whispered, “Let’s just go p>
Yelena’s tone was steady. “No need. Just wait p>
Though naturally timid, Tessa couldn’t bring herself to leave Yelena alone—especially when she saw Yelena standing her ground against Lynn for her sake.
So, despite the fear coiling in her chest, Tessa stayed by Yelena’s side.
Meanwhile, Lynn hung up the phone, her expression shifting from icy to disturbed. Whatever was said on the other end had clearly rattled her. She looked at Yelena with reluctance. “You got lucky this time p>
After a brief pause, Lynn continued, addressing Tessa, “Corporate has decided to give you another shot at evaluation. But make no mistake—if you mess this up again, you’re done. And don’t bother begging anyone. It won’t save you p>
Lynn’s last words were directed at Yelena, her voice sharp and cold.
She didn’t care how many strings Yelena had pulled to get the CEO’s office backing her. In the design department, Yelena didn’t hold the reins. If Tessa faltered again, both of them would be shown the door.
