I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean)

Chapter 894 Cracks In L Moon

After Abigail said those words, Shane was abashed.

"The design department is in such chaos, yet you have the nerve to complain about Irene being inept. Your managerial skills are rather suspicious!" Abigail icily lectured Shane.

She was fully aware that she had been absent from L.Moon for ages and that the previous department head had long since resigned.

Other than his skills as a designer, they don't help this new head of department at all.

Being stunned into speechlessness by Abigail's words, Shane remained reticent.

"Your subordinates are engaging in workplace harassment, and it's unacceptable. If you have no response to that, I recommend you resign!" Abigail's voice carried her frustration as she slammed her hand on the table.

It wasn't long before Shane snapped. "How long has it been since your return? Do you even know what's going on in L.Moon?"

"Shane!" Garrett yelled.

"Is he the one you promoted?" Abigail asked in a cold manner.

He lowered his head. "I was negligent in my responsibilities."

"Workplace harassment is such a grave issue, and yet the head of the department doesn't care about it. Are you telling me that a person's work performance takes precedence over their handling of this issue? Since you can't tell right from wrong, then follow my suggestion—resign!" Abigail's gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Shane still kept his silence.

"I have to report this issue." Abigail took a minute before she continued, "I'm not against having private chat groups, but it's unacceptable when it's used to ostracize colleagues."

Shane's position remained vacant for ages once Shane was given the boot for his actions.

The footage of Danielle and Floyd bullying Irene was also played for everyone to watch. Members of the design department found themselves speechless, lacking the courage to look at Abigail.

"I understand your dissatisfaction with L.Moon hiring Irene, but some individuals are simply behaving irrationally. Even knowing that I recommended her, they still dared to harass her. It's Irene today, but it could be someone else tomorrow. What? Are you suggesting she's aiming for your position?" Abigail, now in the role of the department head, posed the question to everyone with a cold demeanor.

When no one replied to her question, she called out, "Yeezy?"

"Yes, Miss Quinn?" Yeezy answered while rising to his full height.

"Fulfill Danielle's obligations moving forward. You'll also be the head of the department for the time being. Show me what you got in a month's time," she instructed while preparing to make her departure.

Although there were others in the department who were much more suited than Yeezy to succeed Shane, Abigail intentionally promoted someone of average ability.

Jealousy alone would not guarantee them higher positions.

"Thank you, Miss Quinn." Yeezy had never expected such a surprise.

At that moment, everyone dispersed, and Abigail headed back to her office to instruct human resources to advertise for new designers. This decision left the design department in disarray.

Securing a position at L.Moon was challenging, given the company's competitive hiring standards and attractive salary offerings, attracting numerous applicants.

As everyone returned to their respective workstations, whispers began to circulate upon seeing Yeezy entering the department head's office. One individual remarked, "I can't fathom how someone unqualified like him got promoted to that role. First, we had to deal with the incompetent Irene. And now, Yeezy. L.Moon is becoming absurd."

A male designer happened to pass by with a cup of Joe and remarked, "Just resign if you feel miserable. What are you mumbling about?"

"If you love to ingratiate yourself with someone, Irene's in the hospital. Why don't you pay her a visit?" the other person responded, disconsolate.

The male designer stopped in his tracks and turned. "Based on your earlier words, I'll inform Yeezy of your resignation."

Such words sent the other individual into a state of fury, which caused her to sit down immediately. Then, she banged something on the table.

"Just f*cking resign if you are so displeased!"

…

Irene's return to the company also saw Abigail visiting the design department to make an announcement.

"There will be two fashion shows. One is fashion, while the other is historical. Employees in the design department are eligible to participle. Details of the competition have already been shared in the group chat."

Abigail made a move after the short announcement.

Irene then opened the group chat and clicked on the appended link for the historical fashion show.

Both shows were scheduled for the Thanksgiving period, which meant that they didn't have much time to prepare for the event. Participants had to decide to choose the time period that they fancied or were familiar with. The designs would not only be voted by the public but also by the professionals, with the winning prize of 150,000. Whichever designer earned the higher number of votes would be declared the winner.

With a chance to win 150,000 at stake, everyone was determined to showcase their skills. Consequently, the already chaotic design department became even busier due to these two fashion shows.

After Abigail's morning meeting concluded, Garrett approached her with concerns. "Are you considering promoting Yeezy to department head? He's rather mild-mannered and lacks the capability to oversee a large team. He only feels comfortable reporting issues to us."

"It's not your concern," Abigail replied as she headed towards her office, holding a file. "It also hinges on his performance. If he can't fulfill his duties effectively, we can always find someone else. Why the hurry?"

With a sigh, Garrett said, "Ever since your return, everyone seems to be more organized. Feels like I'm the only one struggling."

"You're concerned about hurting their feelings. You're afraid of upsetting the talented designers. But do you truly believe L.Moon lacks talent? The more skilled someone is, the more arrogant they tend to be. Conversely, average employees are likelier to concentrate on their work."

Let's just wait and see.

Abigail purposely organized the two fashion shows for the design department. Initially, such events were beyond their usual scope, but they provided Irene and Yeezy with a platform to demonstrate their skills. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When Irene and Yeezy, individuals of average talent, outshine those arrogant designers, they would be forced to acknowledge their weaknesses and focus on their duties instead of getting involved in corporate politics.
