”Such a beautiful bouquet! Which charming man got you this?” the young woman asked.Mandy smiled and said, “It’s not for me.”The chairman’s secretary was collecting the delivery for the chairman? Was the chairman giving it to someone?The young woman made an educated guess. “Is it for the female driver?”Everyone knew that the female driver was working as an aide in the planning department.The young woman remembered handing Miss Xander’s daughter a piece of candy once.Who knew she would end up working in the company’s planning department.When the woman was employed as the chairman’s personal driver, she was not processed by the personnel department. No one really knew who she was.People thought she was the daughter of some upper class family. Everyone was shocked when her family background was revealed.The woman was abandoned as a child. Then, she got knocked up and raised a daughter of her own. No one knew who the father was.Did the woman have an ulterior motive when

A direct order from the chairman meant it was a decree. Whatever position Monique wanted, she could have it. Assistant Manager Walt would give up his own position if that was what the woman wanted.“Thank you for your troubles. I’ll take my leave now,” Mandy said before leaving.Henry wanted to have a look at Monique’s work to assess if there was an adequate reason to promote her. The position of an aide was simply too lowly for someone who was to be the chairman’s wife.Monique was caught up in her own daydream when the assistant manager came over.He clapped his hands to get the people’s attention. He said, “Quiet, everyone. I have some good news.”Everyone in the office stopped and turned to look at Assistant Manager Walt.A pay raise?Monique snapped out of her day dream and followed the crowd’s attention.“Miss Monique Xander did a good job on the proposal. For that, she will be promoted to planning specialist. Effective today!” Assistant Manager Walt announced.The annou

The company’s Christmas party was a joint venture among the planning department, administrative department and public relations department. The initial proposal was done by the planning and administrative department while the public relations department handled the communications. Execution was done by the administrative and public relations department after the plan was firm.It was a middle-sized event that aimed to uplift the company’s image and reward its employees.When Manager Hayley returned to the planning department, she got the assistant manager to bring her Monique’s submitted proposal.She read through the work and concluded that it was an above average submission for a newcomer.Manager Hayley still found it odd that a newcomer was involved in proposal-writing right off the bat.“Who was Monique tailing?” she asked.Assistant Manager Walt replied, “Amelia.”“Amelia arranged for her to write up this proposal?”The man frowned. ‘Was there an issue?’“I assigned it t

Manager Hayley spoke in an icy tone, “You said the same thing when I first interviewed you but I heard you’ve been absent and leaving early during your first week of work. Do you think that’s working hard?” The Chairman Moore that she knew appreciated punctuality. However, that was before meeting Monique.Monique bit her lip and stayed silent.She did have her reasons but what the manager said was true. She lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sorry. I had some urgent matters that day. I’ll strive to be better.”Her sincerity placated Manager Hayley’s anger. She said, “I won’t look into your promotion but you should know the real reason behind it. Despite that, I hope you understand the planning department emphasizes on merit, not personal connections.”Monique kept her eyes on the floor and pursed her lips.Manager Hayley was right and she knew it.In an unhurried voice, the manager said, “Many in the department are unhappy with this development. I believe you wouldn’t want peo

Yvonne’s uproar clearly soured Monique’s mood.She collected her thoughts at the stairway before going back to the office.She could feel the stares of her coworkers but she remained calm.Once she was back at her desk, she started her work.The company hosted many dinner parties in a year. She found information on the previous events as she was browsing through the company’s internal server.Time passed without Monique noticing. Her phone suddenly rang.“Hello, Monique speaking.”The reply came some moment later, “It’s me.”It was a masculine voice on the phone.Henry…Why was he calling at this time?Monique felt a warmth in her chest as a smile tugged at her lips. ‘Did he miss me?’The thought of Henry’s handsome face made her heart beat faster.“Bring me a cup of coffee,” Henry said in a husky tone.Monique uttered a sound of affirmation.Henry smiled as he hung up the phone.Monique stood from her seat and went to get the cup of coffee. She delivered the coffee to He
