Chapter 43
She ate the food in her bowl quietly. “Donald…. Do you have an opponent in the company?” I couldn’t help myself after a while.
“Can you tell me why you’re asking?”
“No….” “Just ask casually,” I replied absently as I stirred the rice.
“……”
“Your firm is enormous. Isn’t it true that you should have one?”
“There is no such thing as perfection.”
“It doesn’t matter how many people are on my side as long as you’re on my side.” He put his hand on my brow.
……
I was called to the office as soon as I arrived at work in the afternoon –
“Go to the bathroom.”
“If my memory serves me correctly, I interviewed a jewelry design lab specialist this morning.”
“So what?” Sylvia didn’t even bother to look up. “Everything has to start from the beginning. I even climbed outside to clean the window when I initially started in this section. The seventeenth floor.”
I countered, “What you stated, Ms. Sylvia, is that you should start from the beginning for green hand. I have three years of international jewelry design experience. I have the power and strength tonot begin again from the beginning.”
“You must wait three days after your probation term ends.” Her pen came to a halt in her hand, and she raised her eyes. “It’s up to me now whether you leave or stay. You must carry out my instructions!”
“……”
“Clean the bathroom and replace the trash cans one at a time.” “By the way,” she added, recalling something, “get me a cup of Cat Shit coffee from the coffee shop at the crossroads.”
“……”
“Why are you still standing there?” With a spark of contempt in her eyes, she raised her head. “You don’t want to go into the research and development lab, do you? Allow me to observe your working attitude by cleaning the restroom. I’ll think about it thoroughly.”
“……”
I urged myself to be patient as I squatted in the bathroom to clean the toilet lid.
The jewelry design and research studio of the Lion group are well-known. It’s a million times better than the Moon’s. It’s far more likely to produce Bright Pearl here than it is to get enlisted by Moon group. I need to take advantage of this opportunity, and I can’t give up because of a minor setback!
I was done cleaning the toilet when
“Did you find out who it was at noon?” The men’s room was unexpectedly interrupted by a voice.
I abruptly stopped what I was doing and raised my gaze. Isn’t this the case…. At midday, isn’t it one of the men’s voices?
“She is a member of the jewelry design team. Don’t worry. Someone has been asked to look into it. The outcome will be discovered soon.” Another man shortly added.
“As soon as possible, we must nip the nightmare in the bud. We can’t take any chances with what we’re going to do next….”
“Do you intend to exterminate them?”
“Yes.”
……
I was surprised and remained motionless, afraid to make a sound.
My phone, however, rang in my pocket. I was surprised and yanked it out of my pocket. It was Donald.
Why did he call at this particular hour?
What exactly do you expect from me?
Quickly hang up the phone. My heart is pounding furiously.
Someone in the men’s room had opened the door and walked fast towards them.
Knock, knock, knock,
The doorbell rang, and it was a knock.
I jerked my head up to peek at the door. No way! So, what should I do now?
The knock on the door had not stopped. In a panic, I looked about. I could only climb to the window in the bathroom because there was one!
I climbed out and stood next to the air conditioner after hearing increasingly intense knocks on the door. I leaned against the wall, my breath caught in my throat.
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
From the reflection of the tiles, I noticed two men approaching.
“Where is she?” One of the guys inquired.
“Seek her out!”
Another man started slamming the doors shut one by one.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
My phone suddenly rang again. The two men quickly knew I was hiding outside the window when they heard the sound!
Oh, no!
I was so nervous when I saw them approaching the window that I leaped down.
I plummeted to the ground without harm because I was on the second floor, but my skin was scraped by a branch when I fell into the flower nursery.
For a long time, I’ve been running. My phone rang again before I could gather my breath. It was Sylvia when I picked it up!
“Good day, Ms. Sylvia. I’ve already come out. As soon as I finish buying coffee, I’ll be back….”
“No,, Her tone shifted to a very soft one.
She continued with a smile, just when I thought she’d taken the wrong medicine “Mr. Donald came to check our jewelry design department. He is still a member of our team. Please return as soon as possible. Everyone is gathered in a room for a conference.”
“Are newcomers allowed to attend the company meeting?”
“Yes, of course. Mr. Donald has called a meeting just for our department. I’m not sure how many individuals in their department are envious of them. So, let’s put this conversation to rest. Please hurry up. I have to hang up.”
Seven employees were bending over Sylvia’s office door and peering inside as I returned to the jewelry design department.
In Sylvia’s office, there were two glass walls. The outside could see what was going on inside via the gap even though the curtain was put down. Brenda waved enthusiastically and said, “Come here!” when she saw me.
I stepped over, perplexed. “How did you end up here?”
“Look! Mr. Donald is quite attractive!” Brenda was enthralled by the man who was inside. “Why does he look so good even when he’s reading a document? He’s quite attractive!”
I raised my eyes to face the man on the other side of the door. He sat in Sylvia’s armchair, lowering his head and making a remark about something. Sylvia took a courteous and kind step back. Her eyes were full of compliments and admiration, which I could see.
“Just so so.”
I was going to turn around and leave when I realized what had happened.
Brenda grabbed my hand quickly. “Do you think Mr. Donald isn’t very attractive?”
” not attractive at all.”
“He is handsome everywhere, especially on his face!” “His eyes and brows are extremely lovely, and his voice is also incredibly seductive….” Brenda felt increasingly thrilled as she spoke.
Donald said, “Let Trista in.”
Brenda came to a halt and shoved me. “I’m calling you.”
“Me?” Sylvia had already enthusiastically opened the door before I could reply. “Has Trista returned? Mr. Donald is on the prowl for you. Please come in.”
Her demeanor has completely changed from before. This is the type of person I adore. She can switch her demeanor at any time and is unconcerned about mental illness.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Donald?” I walked in after knocking on the door. Like a newcomer, I stood in front of him.
“Miss Trista, don’t you pay care to your appearance?” Donald inquired as he closed the file.
When I dropped my head, I discovered two green leaves and some soil on my body. I promptly patted them on the back and rose respectfully. “Mr. Donald, please accept my apologies. This is not going to happen again.”
“Where did you go throughout the workday?” He drooped his eyelids and mumbled, “I’d been waiting for you for 35 minutes when you came in front of me with muck all over your body. Have you been assigned to the Department of Flowers and Plants by your boss?”
“No! My supervisor just told me that I needed to clean the bathroom. By chance, I ended up in the garden “I rushed through my explanation.
