After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 96 An Awkward Situation

The sudden sound obviously disrupted the flow of the scene.

Mary’s footsteps obviously paused for a moment because she was a bit caught off guard, and she

accidentally stumbled and hurt her ankle.

Polly who was next to her quickly sensed this and hurriedly helped her, “Miss Cooper, watch out.”

She was carefully flattering Mary.

Mary turned her head. The moment she saw Hannah, she changed her expression.

She had shown a weak and vulnerable look before the family in the Cooper Manor, yet this was to

highlight her vulnerability in front of the dominant people so that she could get sympathy. But at this

moment, being in the workplace, she knew well that she had to use means, be ruthless, needed to be

arrogant and needed everyone to be respectful towards her. So, she had to show her real personality.

Besides, she had to admit that she was extremely triumphant and pleased to be flattered by others.

She had long wanted to step in to the workplace and had long wanted to be in a place like this to get

everything she wanted!

But at this moment, why was Hannah here?

And now, she didn’t know how to behave before Hannah.

If she continued to show her current arrogance, she would have an egg on her face. After all, in front of

Hannah, she had always been weak and powerless.

But if she acted like what she used to be before the Cooper family, then she would make a fool of

herself before all the staff. She could not imagine what kind of joke she would become in the views of

these employees in the future.

Hannah noticed Mary’s panic at that moment.

Since she was afraid of being exposed, why did she want to be a double-faced person?

Mary was about to say something.

Polly who was supporting Mary next to her said in a displeased tone, “Aren’t you looking for the

director? The director’s office is in the slightly inner part and the director is not coming yet, you may go

to the office first and wait for a while.”

“I’m not looking for the director, I’m the new director.” Hannah said directly.

“New director?” Polly was stunned.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that she had been informed yesterday that the original

director was transferred to another branch as the general manager and there would be a new director

coming today. But, she received the news at the same time that the new manager was also coming to

work today to replace the position of the former manager, Jane. Everyone knew that Jane had the last

name of ‘Cooper’, who was someone who could not be offended, and whoever had offended her would

be spelt to an end. Even the former director of the Sales and Marketing Department would listen to her.

Since Mary was her younger sister, Polly dared not be negligent so she put all her effort into welcoming

the new manager and simply forgot the thing she had been told yesterday.

Moreover, she felt the lady in front of her who looked young would be the new director, for she thought

a director should be someone in their 30s or 40s.

But now, Polly was not worried about if she had offended Hannah because she thought she had won

the favor of the new manager beside her.

“Oh, you’re the director. It’s perfect, let me introduce our new manager, Miss Cooper to you.” said Polly.

She seemed to remind Hannah that she must not provoke Mary Cooper.

Hannah sneered.

Hearing Polly’s words, she did not feel anything was wrong but Mary’s expression suddenly altered.

Her face turned pale.

If she did nothing, she could not imagine what these subordinates would do.

She indeed did not dare to offend Hannah now.

Mary hurriedly went forward and held Hannah’s hand, “Hannah, I don’t know you came to the company

today.”

All the employees there were stunned.

Polly froze there and was looking at Hannah in disbelief.

She also looked at Mary who was clearly fawning.

As a secretary, she certainly had a further understanding of the inner workings of the Cooper Group.

She knew that Jane was the niece of the chairman of the Cooper Group, and the daughter of the

chairman was Hannah Cooper, now Hannah Wells.

At the thought of this, Polly almost fainted.

She never expected that the new director of the Sales and Marketing Department would have such a

strong background.

But she had heard that the chairman’s daughter had no interest in business and only wanted to be a

good wife, who would not come to the company to help her father.

‘Furthermore, didn’t she just get married? Shouldn’t there be a honeymoon after the wedding? How

could it be possible that a daughter from a rich family came to work just a few days after her wedding?’

Polly thought in her mind.

Polly went so embarrassed that she wanted to flee away from this extremely awkward situation right

now.

Hannah did not care much about Polly.

She looked at Mary and said carelessly, “It’s to my surprise that the employees of the Cooper Group

are so efficient. My father just allowed you to come to the company yesterday and now the office is

already ready for you. Perfume has even been sprayed. It smells quite nice.”

The employee who had sprayed the perfume felt so nervous that she could not help but lower her head

to avoid any eye contacts.

“I wonder if someone can help me somewhat tidy up my office now since Mary’s office has already

been cleaned up.” Hannah said.

Even though she did not get angry, she somewhat showed a dignity that made people look up to her.

“I’ll immediately tidy it up for you, Ms Hannah. I’ll do it personally.” Polly flattered.

“No, just ask the cleaning lady to tidy it up. In ten minutes, let all the employees with positions above

the supervisor of the sales department come to the meeting room for a meeting.” said Hannah.

“Yes.” Polly was respectful.

Hannah turned her head and glanced at Mary, “You also come along.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Okay, Hannah.” Mary answered.

“Where is the meeting room?” Hannah asked.

“I’ll take you there.” Polly was solicitous to please her.

“You take me there.” Hannah randomly pointed to another employee.

She made Polly look bad.

Polly was extremely embarrassed.

The employee who was pointed at hurriedly went forward, “This way, Ms Hannah.”

The moment Hannah left, she turned back and said, “I’m allergic to perfume.”

This sarcastic sentence was obviously meant for Mary.

Then she left.

After that, Mary furiously scolded Polly, “Are you a waste? You didn’t even know that she would come

to the company? Were you doing all these to deliberately embarrass me?”

“No, Miss Cooper, I didn’t know it was Hannah who came to be the director. I’m so sorry. I only received

the news that a new director would come and I wasn’t instructed to do anything. And the colleague only

asked me to serve you well. Nobody specifically told me that she…”

“Shut up!” Mary shouted.

It was a truth that she had been humiliated by Hannah on her first day in the company and lost her face

in front of all the staff.
