The next day, while Lilah was seated in her office thinking about the fund, Emma knocked on the door and came in.

"Miss Phillips, Abia wants to see you," she said to Lilah.

"What is she doing here?" Lilah asked in surprise.

"She said she wants to have a talk with you," Emma said.

"Tell her I'm busy," Lilah instructed.

Emma sighed exasperatedly and tried to explain the situation. "From the beginning, I told her to leave, but she said she won't unless she has seen you."

When Lilah heard this, she stopped her work and said, “Okay then.

Ask her to come in.”

“Okay, Miss Phillips." Emma nodded and quickly went off on the errand.

Lilah knew exactly what Abia wanted.

But no matter how capable Abia was, she would not hire her again because she was clearly not a loyal person. Abia left the company the moment it started facing difficulties.

A minute later, Emma knocked on the door again. This time, Abia came in with her.

"Miss Phillips, here she is," Emma said to her boss.

“Okay, you can go out now." Lilah dismissed her secretary.

After Emma had gone, Lilah finally turned her attention to Abia and said straightforwardly, "I know why you are here. You'd better go back."

Abia didn't expect to be rejected so soon. But remembering her purpose for coming, she forced a smile and said, "Miss Phillips, I was a little impatient in the past. It seems Botanic is getting better and better every day, and I feel very happy about that. The company is recruiting people right now, isn't it? I can come back.

I've made great achievements in this company before, you know. I'm sure the newcomers do not know this company as much as I do."

"I caught Adelynn doing some promo gig yesterday. Looks like she won't have the energy to handle the business in the company. I can join the company again to lend a hand," Abia mentioned.

Abia was pretty sure Lilah would agree once she laid out all the perks of her comeback.

Seeing Lilah's contemplative expression, Abia thought that she might just make a successful return to the company. After all, she was very competent.

Lilah shot Abia a cold look and asked, "Done talking?"

"Yeah," Abia mumbled in confusion.

"Alright, you can go now," Lilah instructed. Then, she lowered her head and focused on the unfinished document.

Abia felt awkward. Everything she had said now seemed pointless.
