Chapter 262 It Was Harder to Deal with Than Before
This sentence heavily smashed into Adele’s heart.
Yes, in front of Damon, did she have the right to choose?
Professor Wes’ large sum of surgery fees was paid by him. During this time, she owed Damon a lot of money, and even her poor salary was paid by Yusuf Group.
Where did she have a choice?
Seeing the disappointment in the woman’s eyes, Damon frowned slightly. A few seconds later, he released his hand, glanced at her, and said lightly, “If you come, I will pay you according to the general secretary’s standard.”
“I’ll do it.” Adele took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
If she refused, Damon would have a hundred ways to make her compromise. It was better to make it quick and agree directly.
Now, she was in the trap set by Damon for her, unable to advance or retreat. When there was no better way to escape, she could only bite the bullet and go forward.
When Damon saw this, he turned around and walked towards his desk with his long legs. He coldly said, “Pack your things and come up. Ben will arrange the rest.”
Adele took a deep breath and responded. His body was a little weak. When he returned from the president’s office, he saw Shirley looking around at the door.
“Adele!”
When he saw her, Shirley ran forward excitedly and said, “I just went to the manager’s office to deliver something and heard Grace and Ms. Blunt talking about you. In short, the atmosphere is quite serious. Did something happen?”
Hearing this, Adele suddenly came back to her senses. Only then did she suddenly realize that she had gone to the president’s office to ask for documents, and this time, she had returned empty-handed.
It was fine if she returned empty-handed, but the problem was that she had brought back a heavy piece of news. She had suddenly been transferred to the president’s office. To others, this was an obvious promotion. What would the colleagues in the department say behind her back? She did not dare to think about it.
Seeing Adele’s pale face, Shirley was also shocked. “Adele, what happened?”
Adele clenched her fists. After pausing for two seconds, she took a deep breath and calmed down. “It’s fine. I’ll go to the office.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
After saying that, she walked towards the manager’s office. The door was ajar. As soon as she approached, she heard some soft voices inside. She raised her hand to knock on the door and pushed the door open. “Corine.”
Looking up, Corine sat in front of the desk with a complicated expression. Although Grace was trying to hide it, he still looked at her with a bit of hostility and coldness.
Without waiting for Adele to speak, Corine said, “Adele, just now, the personnel department called. They said that the president is missing a chief secretary and temporarily transferred a person from our department to work for the time being. Because the activity you planned before was not bad, they appointed you to go. What do you think?”
Adele was slightly startled. She did not expect Damon to act so quickly. She had just finished her job as the president and the personnel department had already issued a notice.
This could only mean one thing, that was that Damon had already made preparations and was waiting for her to jump into the pit.
To be precise, whether she was willing or not, the appointment notice of the personnel department would be issued, and it was not up to her to decide.
“I have no objections,” Adele said softly as she retracted her clenched hand and bit her lower lip.
“That’s good.” “Pack up your things and you can go to the president’s office.” Corine nodded slightly.
“Okay.” Adele took a deep breath.
It was not that she did not feel the coldness on Corine’s face. She had been in Administrative Department for two or three years. For Corine, she was naturally unhappy that the person she had trained was suddenly transferred to another department.
After hesitating for a moment, Adele gathered up her courage and looked up at Corine. “Corine, when I went to the president’s office just now, Assistant Johnson already told me that I was just temporarily going over to replace Secretary An. When her wedding leave is over, I will come back. And no matter where I go, I will always be Corine’s person.”
At this time, she was not sure what Damon meant. She also did not know if she would return to Administrative Department in the future. Therefore, she had to be prepared in advance. She could not break the back road. She understood this principle.
Sure enough, when she said this, Corine’s expression immediately eased a little. She raised her hand slightly and said, “Go.”
“Grace, go help Adele pack up her things.” She immediately ordered Grace beside her.
Grace looked dissatisfied, but she couldn’t refuse Corine’s words, so she stood up and walked out.
After leaving the office, Grace closed the door casually and followed half a step behind Adele. She said coldly, “I didn’t expect Ms. Wes to really have some tricks.”
When Adele heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn’t want to talk to her so much, so he simply pretended that he didn’t hear it.
She had already left, so it was meaningless to quarrel with Grace again.
However, the more she remained silent, the angrier Grace became. Who didn’t know that she had come to the company more than a year earlier than Adele? No matter what, she could be considered a senior. But now, not only was Adele stepping on her for everything, but he had also been transferred to the president’s office, directly pushing the core of the company. How could she swallow this anger?
Sure enough, when they passed by the public office area, Grace suddenly stopped and clapped her hands, attracting everyone’s attention. “Everyone, stop your work. I will announce a piece of good news. Our department’s Ms. Wes has been promoted today. She has been transferred to the president’s office to be the chief secretary. She has really given our Administrative Department face!”
When these words came out, everyone looked at each other with some surprise. Soon, after the surprise, there were all kinds of suspicions. Some took the opportunity to send blessings to Adele with a smile, but more people looked at her with suspicious eyes.
Adele felt bad. She was just replacing Secretary An’s position now. She had not been in the president’s office all the time. What Grace said made everyone suspicious of her. How could she come back in the future?
She glanced at Grace coldly and quickly smiled at the crowd. She explained, “It’s just a temporary replacement for Secretary An. It’s only a month’s time. This opportunity should be Assistant Meng. However, Assistant Meng took care of me as a junior, so he let me go. Speaking of which, I have to thank Assistant Meng.”
As she spoke, under the shocked expression of Grace, she respectfully bowed to Grace.
If she, Grace, could lie, could she not?
It was clearly a notice from the personnel department, but she insisted on saying that it was the president’s order in front of everyone. Wasn’t this deliberately making her the target of public criticism, a thorn in the side of her colleagues?
After staying in Administrative Department’s office for two or three years, how could Adele not understand her colleagues? Each and every one of them just couldn’t stand to see others being good, so she said this to transfer the firepower to herself.
Adele glanced at everyone, smiled and said, “If I do well in the president’s office, when I get the bonus, I will invite everyone out to eat.”
When she said this, the atmosphere in the office eased up a little, and many people laughed and joked with her.
“Then Ms. Wes must get more bonus, or it will not be enough for us to eat!”
“Yes! And no matter what, I have to eat a seafood buffet, right?”
“Yes, yes…”
“As long as I get the bonus, we can decide what to eat when I come back.” Adele chuckled.
Next to him, Grace glanced sharply at Adele, a complicated look in his eyes.
Just now, she was deliberately making things difficult for Adele. Unexpectedly, not only did she see through it, she even resolved it in time!
This Adele seemed to be even more difficult to deal with than before!
