Ellen wondered if she should take the day off since she wasn’t able to go to work. Ironically, she was currently living in her boss’ place.
As such, she could only head back into the villa hall. Right as she walked past the doorway, she heard footsteps coming from the staircase. Subconsciously, she turned over, only to find herself stupefied as a man in black-stunning and classy-was descending the steps, and a glance of him in his extraordinariness took her breath away.
Upon seeing Ellen carrying her bag and coming into the villa, Jared subconsciously revealed a grin. “I’ll send you in a bit.”
Awkwardly, Ellen nodded. After all, a mighty boss such as Jared would normally only go to work past ten. Yet, in order to send her, he brought himself to wake up at eight.
Then, after Jared brought her to the underground garage, she peered at the dozen opulent top-grade cars in the luxurious underground garage. At once, she secretly grew dumbfounded. With such a collection, he must be a sports car enthusiast!
This time, he picked a sports car. He then opened the door to the passenger seat and invited her to get in. Inside, the control panel reflected the wildest dreams a man could have, and the flamboyant sound of the engine revving. resembled the roar of a charging beast.
It only took Jared twenty minutes to reach the company. Once Ellen alighted from the car, she waved at him. “Thank you, President Presgrave.”
Jared merely responded with a nod and drove toward the parking lot.
After speedily finishing up her breakfast in the cafeteria nearby the company, Ellen went straight to her post. Although she received a sum of relocation funds, she would never give up her current hard-earned job. Essentially, she would feel more at ease with her money saved up. Of course, she was never one to splurge ever since she was a child.
She then began to tidy up her post while sorting the documents presented to the reception on behalf of a senior who had been looking after her. After the clean-up, she then tended to other tasks. Right at that moment, a woman walked past her post and sneakily took a set of documents before throwing it into the trash can with her back facing the camera.
Soon, Ellen’s coworkers clocked in for work one after another. The next moment, her reception desk received a call demanding certain documents.
“Hi. Speaking from the Finance Department. I believe there was an urgent document for the Finance Department sent to your post earlier. Can you please send it over to me?”
Immediately, Ellen searched through the documents she sorted in the morning, but she couldn’t find any that were for the Finance Department, after which she informed the caller about it.
“How is that possible? My client literally placed the document on desk number eight-your desk -earlier. Did you lose it? The document contains information of utmost importance, and I assure you, you cannot afford to lose it.” The caller was instantaneously infuriated.
“I’m sorry. I’ll look for it again.” “Ten minutes. I need it for the meeting soon.” The caller angrily hung up as soon as they were finished.
In that instant, Ellen grew somewhat panicked. / placed all the documents I received in the morning in the cabinet right here! Why can’t I find it?
In the meantime, someone revealed a fascinated grin as they gazed at her scouring hectically.
After a thorough search, Ellen was still unable to find the requested document. Eventually, the caller furiously dashed to her desk. It was a veteran in her thirties. With a face filled with rage, she stood in front of her and rebuked, “Do you receptionists know how to do your job? How do you manage to lose a document? I’m going to file a complaint against you!”
“We’re deeply sorry about that. She’s a newcomer, and she’s still trying to get the hang of her job.” Standing beside Ellen, Olive, another company veteran, attempted to defend her.
“That is even more absurd for a newcomer! How did you even manage to make it into Presgrave Group? Is it your charming face? Did you make it by some shameful means? With such incompetence, you actually wish to receive high pay working here? How ludicrous.”
“I am terribly sorry…” Ellen apologized.
“And what can ‘sorry’ do? I’ll generously allow you another hour. If you still fail to find it, I’ll seriously take it to the general manager and have you fired!” The veteran did not hold back with her reprimands.
Watching Ellen being scolded savagely, the other employees couldn’t help but glance at her with sympathy. Her eyes grew somewhat red as she was strenuously holding back her tears.
Shortly after, as she was bending over to dispose of some trash, she unexpectedly saw a folder of documents in the trash can. Surprised, she reached out to grab the folder. Isn’t this what the Finance Department was looking for?
