Chapter 57
At this point, Brenda was extremely agitated. “Mr. Ira, are you going to Mr. Donald’s office alone to have a talk?”
“Yes”
Brenda walked away happily.
A colleague looked at me and couldn’t help but sigh, “Wow…. What kind of luck has Brenda had lately? First she was pursued by a rich and handsome man, and now she can meet Mr. Donald alone!”
“I am so jealous!”
….
“Is it so good to be called in for a talk by Mr. Donald?” I asked disapprovingly.
“Of course!” The colleague said, “you don’t know how good-looking Mr. Donald is! I like him so much!”
“I like him too!”
“If only I could be his girlfriend!”
….
“Trista, come into my office.”
Suddenly a voice rang out.
“Okay.”
I followed Emma into her office. As I stood in front of her, I respectfully asked, “Ms. Emma, what can I do for you?”
“I have approved the document for the transfer to England. I will be working there for the next six months. You will be in charge of the department from today.”
“Me?” I was a little surprised.
“Yes, I have a new project on hand that is responsible for developing and researching new jewelry. You’ll be responsible for following up the CG Lion Group jewelry.”
“What, me?” I was so surprised, “” do you mean I can participate in the jewelry design and freely enter the department’s R&D room? ”
“Yes.” Emma put one leg over the other, looking very charming. “In the past two days, I have found that you can work well and that your ideas are very novel. The documents hit the nail on the head, and you get along well with your colleagues. You have a great future ahead of you. I hope you can achieve good results! Don’t let me.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Emma. I will do my best.”
As I left Emma’s office, I thought, ‘Mrs. Emma does not have that much power to promote me, so does that mean Donald wants all this?
Yesterday he said he was going to give me a series of surprises. Is that what he meant?
With doubts, I walked to Donald’s office. Before i knocked on the door, i heard a rebuke from inside.
“Is that your ability?” It was Donald’s voice.
What’s wrong with him?
Why did he suddenly lose his temper?
“Mr. Donald…. I was so happy last night! I lost the document by mistake! I know it’s the only one left, so I am very worried….”
“Is there any point in being anxious?” He exclaimed, “Brenda, I am so disappointed in you!”
What’s wrong?
What did Brenda do wrong?
As I was about to approach her, Ira stopped me and asked what had happened. He shook his head to show he didn’t know.
Brenda’s view
“Mr. Donald…. I didn’t know things would turn out this way. Let me explain!” I thought Donald had come to me to confess his love, but I didn’t expect him to scold me until now!
I was so happy last night that I lost the last design drawing from the jewelry design department. He lost his temper because there was no bottom.
“Mr. Donald…. I did not mean to do that! I worked overtime last night, but I did not expect to see him this morning!”
“I asked you to take Trista’s job because I want you to do it well, not because I want you to find an excuse to shirk your responsibilities!” Said he angrily, “and what are you wearing? Is there a rule that you have to wear a uniform while working in the group? Why are you special? If you move, the whole office is covered with flying hair!”
“I…. I….” “Mr. Donald, don’t you think that’s beautiful?”
“Do you think my taste is that bad?” He said angrily, “Go home and change your clothes right now. The next time I see you in someone else’s clothes, you will not go to work after you change!”
“Yes…. Mr. Donald…. I will go home and change right now!”
Seeing Donald’s cold face, I felt wronged. What’s wrong with him today?
“Mr. Donald…. What do you think looks good on me?” Before I left, I could not bring myself to ask.
“How should I know?” He slapped the table twice angrily. “What you are wearing has nothing to do with me!”
I couldn’t help but run sadly out of his office.
Trista’s point of view
“What’s the matter? Why are you so angry?” I pushed open the door.
“You are here?” He pushed the phone down on the table and ordered Ira, “Bring me a cup of coffee.”
“No, thanks.”
I bent down and picked up the documents on the floor. “I am here to ask you if Ms. Emma has given her position to me. Were you serious?”
“She recommended herself.” He leaned against the chair and said, “I asked her to choose a suitable person for her position. She chose you without hesitation.”
“You should be aware that my current skills are not comparable to hers….” I am a little worried.
“Everyone acquires their abilities. No one is born a winner.” He said casually, “She has her advantages, and you have your own advantages. To me, everyone who takes this job is the same, but I am more excited about your performance.”
“Really? Are you sure it’s nothing personal?”
Didn’t you promote me because I am your wife?
“No. Your boss gave you this opportunity. Just take it. Not everyone has that chance.” He said slowly, “A lot of people want it. If you can not do it well, I’ll replace you, too.”
That’s exactly what I want. “I will live up to my expectations.”
“here comes the coffee. Also, this is the dessert for you. Eat it up and then go to work. Don’t get tired.” Ira put a cup of coffee and two sandwiches in front of me.
“Thank you very much. You can call me Trista in the group.”
Donald took one look at the coffee and sandwiches and said, “Ira, have you used up all cards I gave you? You are getting more and more mean. How can you let my wife go so hungry?”
“Mr. Donald…. This is the best food. I am afraid that…. Miss Trista can not get used to any other food, so I bought this.”
“That’s enough. Thank you.” I put on a respectful smile and said, “you can go out first. I have something to discuss with your Mr. Donald.”
“Okay, please enjoy Miss Trista. I am sorry I’ll have to get you a more delicious dessert next time.”
After Ira left, Donald raised his eyes and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you sending Ira away?”
“I just want to know what just happened to you. You were so angry that Brenda was crying.” I took a sip of coffee and a bite of my sandwich.
He reached out and wiped the bread residue from the corner of my mouth. “She lost the design drawing of the cg20, which the entire design team worked on meticulously day and night last month. The production line was ready to go into production, but it was a mess.”
“Is there still a chance to save it?”
“I have asked the design department to look for the previous design. We can see where we need to adjust it.” Donald gently wiped the sauce from the corner of my mouth with his thumb and said, “I am angry because she delayed the production of the entire production line and spoiled everyone’s fruit.”
“Can I follow up on this matter?” I volunteered to ask, “now that I am in Ms. Emma’s position, I should have the power and responsibility to do my job well. Besides, Brenda is my subordinate. As her supervisor, I also bear responsibility for what she has done.”
“Don’t blame yourself for everything.” He sighed. “cg21 is currently in the design and research phase. All you have to do is take care of it. And as for cg20…. The person in charge will be responsible until the end.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
