Chapter 36
The next afternoon, several colleagués came to the hospital to
visit Kaneeta.
These colleagues were all members of the project team working
with Kaneeta. They knew how much she had sacrificed for the
project, so they held her in deep respect.
Moreover, since Nyasia had almost snatched the project away
before and they hadn’t dared to take a firm stand, they felt guilty.
This time, each of them came to see Kaneeta with their hands full
of gifts.
“Ms. Drayton, please rest well. Don’t worry about the project–we
can handle everything.”

“If there’s really a problem we can’t solve, we’ll contact you.”

“You’ve really worked hard lately. You do need a good rest.”
Kaneeta smiled and said, “Thank you all for coming to see me.”
“Oh, it’s the least we could do. But… how did you end up
hospitalized with a concussion all of a sudden? Could it really
be…”

The colleagues exchanged glances, and one of them asked
cautiously, “Was it really Ms. Kuntz who pushed you on purpose
and caused all this?”
“How did you know?” Kaneeta asked in surprise.
Although she hadn’t planned to cover for Nyasia at the company,
she hadn’t told anyone there about what had happened.
“It’s all over the company now! They say Ms. Kuntz was jealous of
you and deliberately hurt you so you’d end up in the hospital. But
we don’t know who started the rumor.”
“So it really was Ms. Kuntz? That’s just too much…”
“She didn’t come to the office at all today!”
“No wonder. When we told Mr. Kuntz we wanted to take leave to
visit you at the hospital, he agreed right away. He’s never been so
easygoing before.”
“Looks like Mr. Kuntz feels guilty about you too.”
Kaneeta let out a cold laugh.
Would Edmund ever feel guilty?
Most likely, he just thought she was being too much of a
troublemaker.
The colleagues chatted noisily with Kaneeta for a while, but
afraid of disturbing her rest, they soon said their goodbyes and
left.
The nurse came in to tidy up the gifts they had brought.
Kaneeta’s phone vibrated a few times. She picked it up and saw
several messages from Lila.
“Neeta, how are you? Is your head still spinning?”
“It’s all Nya’s fault. I’ve spoiled her. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“Tonight I’ll bring her to the hospital to see you and apologize.”
Kaneeta immediately blocked all of Lila’s contacts, then found a
photo of Lila and Nyasia to show the nurse.
“If these two come tonight, don’t let them in.”
“Understood,” the nurse replied at once.
After giving the nurse her instructions, Kaneeta scrolled through
Instagram. Suddenly, she noticed that one of her friends had
shared a video link.
The caption read, “No wonder she’s our Ms. Kuntz, the Dancing
Queen! Still so beautiful when she dances!”
Chapter 36
Kaneeta’s eyes darkened.
She had met this person before in a large dance troupe.
So the “Ms. Kuntz, the Dancing Queen” they mentioned must be…
Kaneeta clicked on the video link.
Sure enough, the star of the video was Nyasia.
The spinning figure in the video made her unconsciously grip her
phone tighter.
Nyasia was dancing to “Eternal Night Rhapsody“.
Back then, Kaneeta had made her name in an international dance
competition, winning the championship with that very piece
–“Eternal Night Rhapsody“.
Ever since then, people in the dance world had called her the
“Dancing Queen.”
Nyasia was also highly praised in the dance world, but at the time, everyone said that compared to Kaneeta, she still fell a bit
short.
But now…
