Chapter 56 Would She Be Sent Away Again
Emelle looked up and saw Cindy standing there.
The latter smirked and said, “Ms. Hoven, please handle this as soon as possible. We need it immediately.”
Emelie opened the file and glanced at it. It was the contract with Jeremy.
She closed it and replied, “You’re the one handling this collaboration. I only participated in the final
negotiations.”
Cindy crossed her arms.
“But Mr. Middleton said you’re the head secretary, and all the files in the secretarial department are under
your management.”
“Then let him tell me himself. If he asks me to handle this, I’ll surely do it.” Emelie tossed the file back
onto Cindy’s desk and knocked over her cup at the corner of the desk as well.
Cindy was furious. “How dare you?”
Emelie simply reciprocated her rudeness.
Seeing that, Melanie came over to pick up Emelie’s thermos that had fallen on the ground and placed it
back on her desk.
Then, she pushed Cindy out of the secretarial department.
“Um, Cindy, I’m new here and not familiar with this place. Can you take me to the restroom?”
She had just been to the restroom herself, but she said that so as to separate them and avoid a real
quarrel.
The other two secretaries also tried to advise Emelie.
“Mr. Middleton was the one who asked her to stay. Don’t bother arguing with her.”
They were mainly afraid that William would get angry and send Emelie away again.
As expected, not long after, they saw Cindy entering the CEO’s office with red eyes. It was obvious that
she had gone to complain.
Less than ten minutes later, Emelie received an internal call summoning her to the CEO’s office.
This scene seemed familiar. It was the same process as when she was sent away last time.
Her two secretary colleagues looked at her with concern, but Emelie remained calm as she knocked on
the door and entered.
“Mr. Middleton.”
William picked up his suit jacket from the coat rack and put it on without looking at her. He ordered, ” Take the files on the desk and notify the driver to pick me up at the main entrance in five minutes.”
Emelie was a bit puzzled. “Why?”
“For work, of course.” William looked up at her. “Are you still in your vacation mode?”
Emelie was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at Cindy.
Cindy was glering at her with resentment.
It seemed that she did come to see William to complain. However, William wasn’t taking any action against her because of it.
After all, someone who resembled Daphne wasn’t the real Daphne. Not everyone could win William’s favor as easily as the real Daphne did.
“Okay, I’ll go prepare.”
Emelie grabbed the door handle to open it, but William added, “Bring Cindy and Melanie with you. Let them learn along the way.”
Take them along? Emelie felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.
After leaving the office, she relayed the instructions for the field inspection to Melanie.
Melanie was ecstatic and immediately took out her makeup bag to touch up.
She also had her butler help her pack her things. Her actions were so shocking that people would think
they were going on a group vacation.
Melanie kept asking Emelie, “What else should I bring? I haven’t done this before, Emelie.”
Emelie pinched the bridge of her nose. “Um… just bring a notebook and pen. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can bring a laptop.”
“Oh, no. The laptop is too heavy.” Melanie only’carried a small bag with lipstick in it.
The large–scale mall Cloudex invested in was planning to introduce a batch of luxury brands from
overseas.
Securing the deal wasn’t easy. So, when William had a free morning, he would check on how the counters.
were being arranged.
However, Melanie treated it as a shopping trip.
She openly held William’s hand and looked around here and there.
William didn’t refuse her and was very indulgent, to the extent that the manager of the mall mistook her for his girlfriend.
Unwilling to be outdone, Cindy clung to William because of her “contributions“.
Meanwhile, Emelie silently followed behind them.
