The receptionists were caught off guard, clearly flustered. They hadn't seen this coming. Who would've thought that this woman could actually summon Teddy with such a commanding tone? Panic started to set in among them. One of the receptionists nudged the leader of their group and whispered, "Does she have the same last name as the CEO's fiancée? Could they be related?" Their faces darkened at the thought. If that were true, they might really have to pack their bags and leave.
Teddy looked at Lisa, who was acting all high and mighty, with a slight frown. In a business-like tone, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm just a secretary. I don't have the power to decide who gets hired or fired here."
Lisa felt Teddy was being rather dismissive. But then again, when she'd worked under him before, he'd always been like this. She wasn't about to waste her energy arguing with him. "Fine, I'll talk to your CEO myself," Lisa declared.
Teddy, unfazed, replied, "The CEO is in a meeting right now. He instructed that Ms. Chloe should report to HR and start work immediately."
Hearing that she'd be starting right away filled Lisa with joy. It seemed Connor was just as eager for her to start as she was. "Alright, then I'll head to HR first," she said confidently. Before leaving, she shot a menacing look at the receptionists. "Just you wait."
The receptionists were left feeling uneasy and worried. In the elevator, Teddy mentioned, "The CEO set up a new department just for you, called the Environmental Public Relations Department. You'll be the team leader."
Lisa was thrilled by the news. Connor truly valued her. The name sounded prestigious, and she knew that PR departments often had close ties with top management. The hint couldn't be clearer. Not that Connor needed to hint-Lisa was more than willing to work closely with him.
Eager to meet Connor, Lisa followed Teddy to the HR department, where she was handed a stack of documents. The HR manager greeted her warmly, "Ms. Chloe, the CEO personally appointed you as team leader. Here's your contract and some clauses regarding breach of contract. Please review them, and if everything's fine, you can sign and start right away."
Lisa glanced at the pile of paperwork. Without a second thought, she signed her name. The HR manager gently reminded her "Ms. Chloe, you should really go over these clauses carefully, including the salary details."
Lisa waved it off. She wasn't here for the money. She trusted that Connor, who clearly valued her, would take care of her financially. She couldn't wait to start working near him.
After signing, she asked, "So, do I head to the CEO's office or the conference room?"
The HR manager smiled and said, "Ms. Chloe, you'll need to go to the locker room to change into your work uniform."
Lisa was taken aback. A uniform? It must be one of those classy corporate suits, she thought, and it hinted that Connor might not be as stiff as he seemed. She was excited.
The HR manager led her to a room,
only to reveal a storage space cluttered with random items and dust-covered from neglect. Lisa was not pleased. "Why is this place so small?" she asked.
When Lisa saw the uniform laid out for her, her face froze. "Martin, are you kidding me? What kind of uniform is this? Isn't this a janitor's outfit?" Martin's face remained unchanged, his smile unwavering.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
