Chapter 251
Hearing Selena's words, Arlana started examining the test paper in front of her more carefully. Sure enough, it was the doctoral finance exam paper. The le was right there, and she had only just noticed it
now.
Worst of all, she had already spent seven days working on these questions.
"Doctoral exam questions... No wonder I found it so difficult."
"Difficult? You didn't attend any classes at all this year, yet you managed to answer this much? Ari, how did you pull that off?"
Ariana really had not been writing at random. In her previous life, she spent three years at Lodge Co., helping Brian handle company matters. She had a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of finance. After gaining three years of practical experience, working through these questions was actually much easier for her. It felt like a lower-level challenge.
Looking at her nearly filled answer sheet, Ariana smiled. "I've got this."
Meanwhile, Elise arrived at Lodge Co. She wore a beige designer short skirt. The moment she set foot on the company floor, she drew everyone's attention.
SO, th
that's Ms. Quinlan? I heard she's Mr. Lodge's new fiancée."
"She's really pretty. I just wonder what she's like."
"She might be bringing lunch for Mr. Lodge. Think about how Ms. Torrey used to do that..."
A few employees whispered among themselves. They remembered how Ariana always came by with elaborate lunches for Brian.
However, Brian never even glanced at them. It would probably be no different for Elise.
Elise had no idea the staff around her were watching her with a hint of mockery. She arrived at the floor where the
CEO's office was located.
Just then, Emily came out of the conference room and saw Elise. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Ms. Quinlan, Mr. Lodge is still in a meeting. It's not convenient for you to see him right now. I can take whatever you brought."
"That's alright. I'll wait here until the meeting ends so we can eat together."
Elise had grown up as a sheltered heiress who never did any chores at home. If her parents hadn't insisted that she please Brian and secure her position as his fiancée, she wouldn't have bothered bringing him lunch in person.
Since yesterday, Elise had noticed how little interest Brian showed in her, so she wanted to make the most of every chance to get on his good side.
"In that case, Ms. Quinlan, please wait over there," Emily said, gesturing toward the pantry. "Lunchtime is coming up, and people will be around. I hope you don't mind."
"What do you mean? I'm Mr. Lodge's fiancée. You want me to wait in the pantry?"
"When Ms. Torrey used to bring lunch, Mr. Lodge wouldn't even give her a place to wait. Your
arrangement is already better than hers."
Emily spoke with a smile, but Elise felt irritated.
Chapter 251
"Ariana is nothing compared to me. Her family is nearly bankrupt. I'm not like her. Find me a proper waiting room, or I'll call Mrs. Lodge Senior and let her settle this."
Hearing her words, Emily seemed unfazed. In the past, Arlana never threatened anyone with Belinda's
name.
"Do as you like, Ms. Quinlan. I have work to do."
With that, Emily returned to the break room.
Seeing that even a secretary dared to treat her so casually, Elise flushed with anger.
