Chapter 76
The second morning I came to the group with a sore body. Many people looked at me evasively.
Did anyone know what had happened last night?
Why are you looking at me so strangely?
Wherever I go, those eyes follow me secretly, as if I am hiding a secret.
Several employees, who were running late, rushed over. When they saw me standing in the elevator, they awkwardly pressed for another elevator, not daring to take the same elevator as me.
“What happened?” I am confused.
When they arrived at the jewelry design department, all the staff immediately stood up respectfully and greeted, “Good morning, Manager Trista!”
What had happened?
“Trista, oh, no, Manager Trista. This is the coffee I bought for you when I went to Starbucks for breakfast this morning. You can drink it.” Someone came to please me.
“Manager Trista, I have some imported desserts that have not been opened yet. They are very precious. Take them. You don’t have to be so polite to me!” Someone was trying to please me again.
“I did not finish yesterday’s report. I am sorry, sir, I really didn’t mean to do that. Please don’t be angry. I’ll put it on your desk as soon as I finish it!”
“Director, are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders. Sit down here!”
…
“What is wrong with all of you?” I was forced to sit on the chair and enjoyed the treatment like an emperor, but I felt extremely uncomfortable.
“You have been working hard. We are always thoughtless and cause you trouble. I hope you don’t take this to heart…”
“Director, is the strength all right?”
“et me massage your legs, okay?”
…
“What’s wrong with you?” I hastily pulled back my legs and pretended to be serious. “If you keep acting so mysterious and strange, don’t blame me for being angry!”
“Please don’t…” the employees were startled.
With a thud, Brenda, who was standing not far away, angrily threw the document on the table. “Why are you being so loud? Do you want me to stop working?” Then she stood up and walked away angrily.
I could tell something was wrong
Usually Brenda would come up to me and talk endlessly. But today she left in an unusual way
“Brenda, wait!” I wanted to stop her and ask what happened, but she pretended not to hear, pushed open the door and left.
Seeing this embarrassing scene, several employees rushed over to mediate
“Director, do not take it to heart. She’s just a little upset. She’s been like this since she left for work this morning. Don’t pay any attention to her!”
“Yeah, I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She went off on us as soon as she got here. She didn’t let us talk about you!”
“I guess the two rich men who were after her were not interested in her, so she was in a rage!”
“She made them wait for so long? Which of the two rich generations has the patience?”
…
“So, what did you tell her about me this morning? Why did not she want to hear it?” I really want to know why people’s eyes follow me everywhere I go. Didn’t Donald blocked out what happened last night?
“Don’t you know the bulletin board came up downstairs? The cg21 you designed will be in the competition with other companies in half a month!”
“I knew it before. Is there a problem?” I don’t understand. Is that the reason you have been causing trouble for so long?
“Of course! Each group leader has to bring his own designer to the competition site. You and Ms. Gemma personally asked Mr. Donald to accompany him. Do you think everyone is jealous?”
I suddenly dawned on me that! But why didn’t Donald talk to me about it?
“I think jealousy is one thing, and whether you have a background is another!” A colleague said, “Director, don’t blame me for being curious. You are just a rookie. Now you are the director and Mr. Donald is accompanying you. Most people will think you have a background. They don’t dare to offend you!”
“And what happened last night!” A colleague suddenly said this, which left me stunned. Did anyone find out what happened last night?
“I heard that Mr. Donald took you to the upper class wedding banquet last night?”
“I also heard that you were bullied. [You personally got up to slap the scum, and all the guests applauded!”
“I did not expect his mothr to be so protective of the employees!”
“By the way, how could they bully you?”
“What happened last night? No one was willing to say a word to you. A friend of my friend was at the wedding banquet last night. When he got home, he didn’t say anything. He just revealed that Miss Ashley cheated on Mr. Emos and the wedding had to be called off!”
“What, is that true?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Yes, my brother-in-law’s boss was there last night too. When he came back, all he said was that Trista, the manager, was not to be trifled with, and nothing else!”
“Manager Trista, what’s going on here?”
“Why did they say that to you?”
…
The crowd’s chatter made me uneasy. It seems that paper can not wrap fire. Some news leaked out
If it continues like this
Will others know about my relationship with Donald?
“By the way, sir, were not you at the scene last night? Can you tell us what happened?”
“Yes, we really want to know so we have a reason in our hearts!”
“I promise I will not tell anyone!”
“I promise!”
I didn’t know what to say. Seeing the longing looks of the others, I had to be cruel. “Someone was bullying me. Donarld’s mother thought the Lion group’s reputation was damaged, so she taught him a lesson for me!”
“Oh, I see…” everyone was suddenly enlightened. “Who else in the world dares to ignore the Lion group?”
“Were not you at the party with Mr. Donald last night? How dare they be so lawless under the eyes of Mr. Donald?”
“Yes, yes, sir, tell me, who is it? Who dares to be so arrogant?”
“Is it Mr. Paddy?”
Speaking of Paddy, I was stunned. What happened last night? Why did not he come out? Do you know my relationship with Donald? So you decided to quit?
That’s a good thing. I don’t want to be bothered by him in the future!
“Tell me, what’s going on here?”
“Yes, we really want to know!”
…
Suddenly the door of the office was pushed open. Three or four guys who were delivering the food put the things on an empty table. “All the things are ready. Please give us a five-star praise. Thank you very much.”
“Wait, who ordered the takeout? I didn’t order anything…”
“It’s not mine!”
“Not me.”
“What happened?”
“Was it sent to the wrong department?”
…
“It’s me.”
Suddenly a voice announced itself. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sylvia, wearing her usual business suit and four-inch heels, come in with a smile.
“This is none of your business. I am going to give you a five-star commendation.” After dismissing the messenger, Sylvia walked step by step toward me and shook my hand. “Thank you.”
“It was my pleasure.” I smiled faintly, “I’ll be going to the R&D lab often in the future. I will leave it up to you.”
“No problem.”
“No…” several colleagues whispered to me, “no…”
“Ms. Sylvia will take care of everyone as well as I do, and even better than I do.” I shook Sylvia’s hand again. “Thank you very much for your help next time. I hope Mrs. Sylvia can be more tolerant. After all, it’s not easy for every subordinate.”
“I will treat them as my family.” Sylvia turned around and said, “Please eat everyone while it’s still hot. It was my mistake in the past and I have asked you to do what you want. From now on, I will be strict with myself and treat others kindly. I will not haggle for money like I used to.”
“I… am not hungry… Bon appetit…” A colleague hurried back to her seat.
“I am not hungry either. I suddenly remembered that there is a document that has not been printed yet. Manager Trista, please do not go away. I will bring it to you as soon as I print it out.”
“I am going to work too…”
“I will write my report.”
Several colleagues ran back to their seats. Sylvia was a little embarrassed, but she seemed to have expected this result. She smiled bitterly at me and said, “It seems they still do not believe me.”
“It doesn’t matter. Everything needs process.”
I took the initiative to get the dessert and took the lead to eat it. “It tastes good! Do not you want to try it too? Listen, on behalf of the director, I order you to put down your work and come here to eat!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than several colleagues approached and symbolically ate some French fries, but none of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat chilly .
