Chapter 45 Don’t Stop Until I’m Pleased
Martha went back to her office, which hadn’t been cleaned up, and looked at the mess inside. She wasn’t annoyed.
Anyway, it was the first step to success that she’d rejoined the Doyle Group.
On her way back to the office, the department staff kept glancing at her in a weird way but she didn’t take it to heart.
She just wanted to take back everything that belonged to her!
If the plan went well, the Doyle Group would regain its former greatness and glory very soon.
Thinking of it, Martha pulled the chair calmly and sat down.
A moment later, someone knocked at the door. The visitor opened the door and came in before Martha gave her the permission.
It was Hollie. She came in the office with a smile. They were in the office, and she didn’t want anyone else to know the falling-out between them.
Hollie closed the door and pulled a long face. “Do you think you can win once you join the Doyle Group?” Hollie frowned and glared at Martha, who was going through the documents casually.
In fact, Martha had imagined that Hollie would come over and be harsh on her, but indeed, Hollie showed up sooner than expected.
Martha raised her eyebrows with a nice smile and looked at Hollie indifferently, “Whatever I’m doing now, I learn from you.”
“Learn from me? Who the hell do you think you’re to compete with me?” Hollie frowned and couldn’t help raising her voice.
Martha wasn’t mad, but still wearing a smile, as if she wouldn’t let it get into her, “There’s plenty of time for us. Don’t think little of your competitors.”
“So you think you can get back everything once you are here?”
Hollie clenched her fists unconsciously and added sarcastically, “Martha, you’re a pathetic loser! You’ll never beat me!”
“But, I’m in charge of the project now,” Martha smiled brightly and said.
Hollie stared at her and taunted, “It’s been years. I’m afraid you don’t know everyone out there is on my side.”
Martha closed the documents carelessly and asked her, “Oh, really? But judging from what I’ve seen in the meeting room, I don’t think so.”
Hollie heard the sarcasm in her words and looked worse. Moreover, the office had glass walls. So, the employees out there kept glimpsing at them from time to time, hoping to see something.
Hollie took a deep breath and stared at Martha furiously. She couldn’t make herself the laughing stock of the staff. She didn’t want Stefan to hate her more because of what happened between Martha and her. She just couldn’t let it happen.
She calmed herself and added, “You must listen and do as I say because I’m in charge of Doyle Group now. You can’t do anything without my permission. Or, you’ll be accused of overstepping your authority.”
“Martha, I believe you know the cons of that, right?”
Martha glanced at Hollie indifferently.
What was the point of rejoining the Doyle Group if she was afraid of being accused of overstepping her authority?
She swore she must take back everything that Hollie had taken away from her.
Martha took a sip of the coffee, moved her eyelids and said nothing else to Hollie who was angry.
Seeing that, Hollie got more pissed.
“Miss Hollie, you can leave now if there’s nothing else. I shall get back to work. I’m not that free as you are.”
“You!”
In the end, Hollie could do nothing with her but just leave the office in anger.
Martha stared at the glass door and looked more serious. It wasn’t Hollie if she would give up so easily. As expected, someone else knocked at the door again.
“Come in.”
The glass door was opened. Two female employees came in and said, “Miss Doyle, the vice president, the vice president sent us over to work as your assistants. ”
These two employees’ voices sounded very unfriendly. It seemed that they were here to make things difficult for her.
Martha frowned and said coldly, “I don’t need any assistants. Just leave.”
“Miss Doyle, you’re new in the company. We can help,” One of the employees raised her head to look at her and said proudly.
Martha put on a gloomy face and said in a more indifferent voice, “I’m the executive director of the company. I said, leave.”
“Miss Doyle, the vice president has given us the job.”
The other employee frowned impatiently, looking like she was reluctant to come work for her.
Martha knocked on the chair lightly and thought quickly in mind. Clearly, Hollie sent them over to make it hard for her. Someone else would come take their places even if she kicked them out. As the saying goes, better the devil you know. So, it would easier to fight the enemies face to face.
Thinking of it, Martha raised her eyes to look at them and said unwillingly, “Well, since you insist staying and working for me, clean the room first.”
The room was a mess. More or less, it had bothered her.
Hollie had sent the two free cleaners over just in time.
As soon as her words left her mouth, she saw they were frozen.
Martha raised her eyebrows and went on speaking, “I think one of you can do the cleaning. And the other one of you can make me some coffee. I want hot black coffee. But not too hot.”
“Make another one if the temperature isn’t right. Don’t stop until I’m pleased.”
A moment later, the two employees realized it and looked at Martha unwillingly.
Seeing it, Martha’s face darkened and she said harshly, “Didn’t you say the vice president sent you to work as my assistants? I’ll doubt whether you’re capable of the job if you even can’t do things like these!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Martha blew the top and one of the employees shook with fear.
“I…”
The other employee wanted to sass back, but then she thought, Martha was from the the Doyle Family, and they were just small potatoes, they might be fired and lose this well-paid job if they offended Martha.
In a second, they chickened out.
At first, they thought they could give Martha a hard time under the wings of Hollie, but it turned out that Martha was a real piece of work.
They thought about it. Then one of them picked up the cleaning cloth, and the other one picked up the coffee cup.
Martha saw them doing their jobs, and smiled lightly, feeling much better.
