The Platonic Trap novel Chapter 136

She needed to give Alistair time to figure it out for himself.

To figure out whether his irritation was out of concern for his "niece," or simply out of raw jealousy toward Talbot.

Celia was more than willing to give him that time.

After breakfast, she drove to Zucker Corp.

When she arrived at her desk, it was still early.

None of the other project team members had arrived yet. Celia booted up her computer and started reviewing the project files.

She had briefly looked over this project before, and she had to admit, Zucker Corp truly lived up to its reputation. Their vision and strategy were leagues ahead of the competition.

The project's entry point and profit margins were fantastic. Celia was absolutely confident that if she handled this project, it would be a massive financial success.

She needed to make money. She needed Alistair to see her competence, and she needed a promotion within the company.

As for Larry's creepy, wandering hands—she had dealt with scum like him plenty of times before. Handling him would be easy.

But there were plenty of junior female employees in the company who didn't know how to protect themselves. If only for their sake, Celia needed to get promoted and crush Larry beneath her heel.

The only reason she hadn't exposed him yet was that his harassment was currently aimed solely at her. She needed this idiot right where he was to farm Alistair's sympathy.

Once she was done using Larry, she would make sure his life became a living hell.

Right in the middle of plotting her revenge, a sneering laugh came from nearby. "Well, well, look who decided to show up. If it isn't her highness, Ms. Stafford!"

Celia glanced over her shoulder. Larry was standing there, arms crossed, staring at her with a smirk full of undisguised contempt and mockery.

He called her "her highness" not because he knew she was the Stafford heiress, but simply to mock her "delicate" behavior.

"If her highness took a few more days off, our entire project team would have been packing our bags," Larry sneered.
