"Really?" Tears stopped flowing down Monique's face as her long eyelashes blinked.Mrs. Lawson nodded. "Go get some rest, you still have to work tomorrow. It’ll be bad if your work is affected tomorrow."This time, Monique heeded Mrs. Lawson’s advice and went to bed.Monique rolled on her bed, as she felt uneasy. She kept thinking if Henry would let this matter slide. Finally, later into the night, Monique managed to fall asleep.The next day, Mrs. Lawson woke Monique up for work."Monique, Monique, get up, it's almost time to go to work." Mrs. Lawson alarmed.Mrs. Lawson planned to wake Monique up earlier. However, knowing that she went to bed quite late last night, she thought it would be better to let Monique sleep a little longer. While she was feeding Angel her breakfast, she did not notice the time passing by and it was already very late for Monique.Monique gradually opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep. She was immediately alert when Mrs. Lawson mentioned that it w
Assistant Manager Walt came over and stopped beside Monique.Monique's head remained lowered. She desperately hoped that he would turn around and leave."Mrs. Xander." Jacob greeted her politely.Monique greeted him embarrassedly as she raised her head, "Good morning, Assistant Manager Walt!""I see that you were early to work today, Mrs. Xander. I'm on my way to the break room, is there anything you would like to drink? I can get it for you." Jacob let out a smile.Amelia's jaw dropped as she turned her head around. 'Monique was late to work on her second day. This just shows that she has no sense of punctuality. Shouldn't Monique be let go? Or at least be given a warning or lecture?.'Nonetheless, Assistant Manager Walt did not sound mad at all and he had a gentle facial expression.Assistant Manager Walt never treated any of the workers that well.Monique felt awkward as she let out a charming smile and said, "It's alright, Assistant Manager Walt. I brought my own water bott
Amelia frowned, as she was unwilling to do so. In the end, she forced out a smile out of the respect she had for Assistant Manager Walt. "Alright, sure thing."Assistant Manager Walt faintly nodded, “Meet me in my office after getting Monique her water."Amelia and Assistant Manager Walt then faded from her view. Monique turned back to face the computer that she just rebooted to continue with her workThe clicking sound of Amelia's 10-centimeter tall high-heels were heard, as she made her way to the water dispenser in the break room. She grasped tightly onto Monique’s pink bottle. The force was so hard that she nearly broke the bottle.The area where the water dispenser was located was an ideal spot where the usual gossiping took place in the morning. There were already a few colleagues lingering around that area. Hannah from the public relations department was there too. She was there because she had business to settle with the planning department. Amelia saw Hannah and Jackson di
"Yeah, she just joined yesterday. The worst part is that there is a big festival that is coming up in half a month. I assigned her to write a press release on it and she just photostated last year's press release. She did not even bother to change the details of the event" Hannah flipped a blind eye.After hearing what Hannah said, the rage within Amelia slowly faded away. She teased, "I never expected that there’ll be someone even more absurd than our newcomer. Ours also joined us yesterday. She doesn't seem to know how to operate a computer or even surf the net. I noticed that her typing speed was absolutely slow, she types letter by letter and needs to look at the keyboard while typing. I'm curious about her identity. How was she able to get herself a job at Marriott International with her knowledge?”."The newcomer in your department is just having a technical problem but her attitude seems fine to me. As long as she's willing to learn, I'm sure she’ll overcome it in no time. Unl
"What should I do?" After walking quite a distance away, Hannah's wailing was heard coming from the break room.Amelia smirked. After discussing with Hannah and Jackson, Amelia thought that perhaps Monique was not as bad as she thought.Amelia placed the bottle filled with water on Monique's table. Although she was discontent, she dared not go against Monique, thinking that there had to be someone strong backing her up. She smiled, with an attitude much better than before. "Monique, I refilled your water for you. I'll place it right here."Amelia placed the bottle right next to the computer.Monique lifted her head. "Thank you so much." Then, continued typing out her proposal.As Monique was typing, she wrote down all the important points in a notebook--in case something happened to the computer again and she lost all of her data once again.Amelia did not back away immediately. Instead, she asked, "How's the proposal coming along?"Embarrassed, Monique looked up and shyly smile
Amelia’s expression was terrible. She went back to her desk, sat down, swigged some water, and slowly calmed herself.Taking a deep breath, she bounced up and paced to Monique, putting on an elegant smile on her face. "Monique, how's your proposal going? Is there anything that you don't understand?"Monique looked as though she saw the Messiah to see Amelia coming up to her. Amelia told Monique to express all her queries. Monique had been searching high and low for information, but there were still some technical queries she could not comprehend. "I did not get much out today. I got some done at home, but I blew up the computer and all the data’s gone. I'm going to retype everything. I don’t think it’ll take as long as yesterday. I think I can hand in my work if I just get these few points clear."Monique briefly explained what had happened to Amelia.Amelia smiled, nodding. "I was busy yesterday and neglected you. I have some spare time this morning, so let me see what I can do to
Monique's little face wore a sweet smile as she saw Amelia's silhouette leave her vision.She silently encouraged herself. "Keep going Monique, you can do this!"Beaming at the exit where Amelia disappeared, a sliver of sunlight shone in with gentle warmth. Suddenly, she felt as though she had seen Henry's cold eyes.She was petrified, feeling a chill travel down her spine as she shut her eyes tightly. Then, she reopened her eyes, only to find out there was nothing at the doorway.Why did Monique suddenly think of Henry?Terrified as she was, she chuckled at the illusion of seeing Henry.‘Oh, Monique. Did Henry’s countless tortures drive you insane? Why would you even be thinking about him…’ Even though Henry had a lot of shortcomings, his company, however, was fabulous; all the colleagues, be it Mr. Harper or his secretary, Charlotte, or even Walt and Amelia; they were all very friendly. These two days, everyone treated her so well.Monique fell in love with this company. She
He made a call to the secretary, Charlotte, who picked it up almost instantly. "Hello, Charlotte from the personnel department speaking. How can I help you?" Charlotte spoke in a straightforward tone."Charlotte, it's me, Jayden from the PR department. May I speak to your manager?" Charlotte lifted her head and found Mr. Harper standing right in front of her, waving his hand continuously."Uh right… Mr. Harper is currently not around. Perhaps you can leave a message instead and I'll deliver it to him," Charlotte said in a gentle tone.She had no idea why Mr. Harper would refuse to answer the call."Then can you please make a trip to the PR department? I have things to discuss with you." Jayden hung up after he finished. He made up his mind to have Charlotte take back the newcomer that she introduced.Charlotte put down the phone. Her lips started moving to say something, but she was cut short when Mr. Harper spoke. "Yvonne went over to their department yesterday. Whatever Mr. Ja
