"Zoe Yale, come on, speak up!" someone urged impatiently upon seeing her silent.
"She knows nothing. She's just an intern. For such significant leadership decisions, you should ask the leaders." Charles White's tall figure appeared at the entrance, walking to Zoe's side and shielding her, leading her away from the crowd towards the office room.
"Charles White, thank you. It was good to have you there earlier; otherwise, I couldn't have got away," said Zoe with a grateful smile as soon as she sat down at her seat.
Upon hearing this, Charles's facial expression darkened slightly.
Flashing through his mind was the picture he saw at the CEO's office door yesterday, of Harrison Yale ruffling her little head...
If the colleagues from the Investment Department knew she was so close to the CEO, what would they think of her? Had she even considered that?
She was too naive, too simple...
He had to protect her, ensuring Harrison Yale got no chance to approach her and lead her astray.
