Chapter 2The Mind Reader's Downfall

Chloe's proposal drew the attention of everyone in the room.

Just as Ethan was about to speak, I smiled and said,

"No need, I forfeit!"

The scene was in an uproar.

Ethan was stunned, somewhat surprised.

He knew I was the most rigorous about my profession, and thought I would definitely not let go of this competition.

I repeated again,

"I quit."

What he didn't know was that in my previous life, I confidently participated in the competition. But every time I prepared to answer, Chloe spoke first. In the end, of course, Chloe won unquestionably, making my decades of hard study a joke.

I naturally couldn't agree again.

Chloe deliberately tried to provoke me with words,

"Harper, you are the ace translator of our company. How come you don't even dare to compete with a little receptionist like me? How embarrassing if word gets out!"

"Why don't you test me with more questions to see what level I'm at? See if I can compare to you."

I spoke lightly,

"Your level is much higher than mine, at least level thirteen."

Chloe proudly puffed out her chest,

"That's for sure, with my level..."

Everyone couldn't hold it back anymore, burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, what spoken language has a level thirteen!"

"You!" Chloe's face turned red and purple, stomping her feet in anxiety.

"Enough!" Ethan shouted violently, glaring at me very dissatisfiedly,

"You should have some limits even when joking! Do you think you are amazing just because you have a few certificates? Knowing Chloe doesn't understand these, and still bullying a little girl, have some shame!"

I pinched my palms tightly.

The laughter around stopped abruptly.

The host squeezed out a smile,

"How about, dual champions for this month?"

Ethan spoke sternly,

"What dual champions?! Harper has studied for so many years, Chloe just started self-study this month. The winner is clear!"

With Ethan's instruction, the host had to announce Chloe as the champion.

Everyone stepped forward to compliment.

Chloe cheered and went forward to hug Ethan.

Ethan looked at me, coughed lightly, and unnaturally took a step back.

I sneered in my heart.

Chloe leaned in Ethan's arms, blinking at me provocatively.

"Harper, I guess I've proved my strength. Can I go along with you to the business meeting this afternoon?"

I subconsciously frowned,

"No..."

Chloe immediately reddened her eyes,

"Harper, I know you look down on my academic background. But I studied translation day and night just to share Ethan's burden and contribute to the company. Are you going to deprive me of even this right?"

Ethan hugged her with heartache, scolding angrily,

"Chloe is also doing this for the good of the company! Are you so intolerant of others?!"

Colleagues around also looked at me and spoke,

"Harper, you are quite selfish. Even if Chloe has high talent, it won't affect you."

"Yeah, can't you give a new employee a chance? You are too narrow-minded."

Everyone criticized my fault one after another.

I spoke calmly,

"What I wanted to say just now is, why not let her follow along, just treat it as going to learn."

Everyone then awkwardly changed the subject.

Chloe looked at me meaningfully.

"Harper, don't worry. I will definitely study! Hard!"
