President's Naughty Sweetheart

Chapter 12: Ella Was Excluded

Ella was busy with her work the next day.

She was manipulated by all the designers in the company.

She, together with Sofia Carson, who was appointed by senior executives, was excluded in the design department in secret.

But Sofia, Bella and Angela were lucky as they were appointed as assistants for the chief designer. In this sense, no one dared to boss them into doing more even if they have a compliant about them.

However, Ella didn’t share the same situation with them.

When she had a break, she went into the tea room to get a glass of water.

Sofia just came out and pulled her to the staircase, closing the door and asking, "Ella, Was your husband pick you up after work yesterday?"

Ella stiffened. She didn’t told them that she had divorced. She didn’t want to tell them either, after all, it was shameful that her husband was infidel to their marriage.

No, my best friend came to pick me up.

Sofia nodded, "That is good, you know what? I went to the tea room to get coffee, and someone was saying bad things about you in secret. They believed that you were leaning on a moneybag, so that you were acquainted with executives and could be arranged in the design department. I wouldn't say the worse words."

"Well, whatever they said, a clean hand wanted no washing! We were not qualified to work for the Hill Group in light of our working experience. I couldn’t understand who made such arrangement, and it's inevitable that designers here had a compliant about us."

Ella knew herself well enough, but Sofia did not think so. She was suddenly unhappy, "Ella, how could you shake our own morale but puff up the opponent! We four didn't rely on other’s power to get the job. We just depended on our strength! How could you be so unconfident!"

Seeing Sofia becoming unhappy, Ella considered that she should not tell the truth. She smiled, "Well, let's go back to work, or they would say we loaf on the job."

Just walked one step away, Sofia suddenly stopped, "Ella, I knew, you were disappointed about the job assignment. We three would like to comfort you last night, but you left earlier last night. Our boss was very kind. He sent us a red envelope before we left. Did your friend gave you red envelope?"

"Well, he already sent." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Well, let's go back. How about having dinner together after work tonight?" Sofia suggested.

Ella shook her head, "Sorry, Sofia. I have something to do tonight."

One minute after the two went back to their seats, Ella was occupied by trivial work.

She took a deep breath and continued to work.

At this moment, Assistant Shaw, who was the assistant for the design apartment director went toward her, "Ella, please go to the director's office now."

As soon as she left, several designers began to talk about her.

"Why does the director want to meet with her as soon as he returned the company after having a business trip abroad?"

"Could it be said that she was acquainted with the director?"

"Sheer nonsense, how could our director take a fancy to her!"

"Well, it was the most difficult to meet with the director in the Hill Group except the president.

Ella already walked to the director's office, gently knocking on the door.

"Come in, please."

She pushed the door and saw a young man sitting at a desk, who had a handsome face and remarkable temperament.

With dashing brows and sparkling eyes, he shew indifference from the lip.

"Sit down, please." looked up at her.

Why did the president’s principal secretary, Charles Wood care for her by himself? What was the relationship between them ?"

Ella said, "Thank you."

Daniel said, "I have checked your resume and the other three before you. Give your experience, it seems that you got the job in the Group by relying on the relationship with senior executives. I don't care how you got in the job. No idlers could remain in my department. I would fire anyone who work badly. Did you hear me?"

Ella's face burned with shame after hearing such straightforward criticism. She also thought that it was incredible to work for the Hill Group. Now, the director determined that she got the job by virtue of private relationship, which made her feel wronged.

But she wasn't sure if the other three had actually got the job via relationship. If she was involved in nepotism, she thought that she had better accepted what he said. Then she showed her attitude, "Director, I would work harder."

Daniel glanced at her once more due to her silence.

He considered that she must be guilty since she had nothing to explain. Then, he had more contempt for her.

"You have to finish your task at hand every day and I don't want to hear any excuse. Now you could get out." The indifference and alienation in her words made Ella feel that the director was in a prominent position.

After she returned to her seat, the surrounding colleagues looked at her. All of them derived pleasure from her misfortune as Ella looked so bad.

At lunch time, Ella was going to take a meal in the company's staff restaurant, but after she remembered that she would pick up luggage at night, she gave a call to Benjamin Johnson at first.

She went to the stairwell to call him. The call was connected soon.

Benjamin was sitting in the office at this moment, "You should call me? Would you apologize to me?"

Ella grunted, "Why should I apologize to you? I just wanted to tell you that I would go back tonight, and I would package all my thins. I hope you and Scarlett Baker go home after nine o'clock, or we would be embarrassed."

After hearing that she would move out of their home, Benjamin was contradictory as he hoped that she could move away as soon as possible, but he was not reconciled.

Remembering that day in the company he did not have sex with her, Benjamin sneered, "Well, just for tonight, if you leave something in my home, I would let people throw them away!"

Then he hanged up the phone and Ella scolded, "such a jerk!"

Then, she called to Alice Walker to make an appointment.

When she put back the phone and was about to go to the restaurant, special text message prompt rang.

When she took the subway this morning, she set a special ring for Aiden’s call and message to check it out in time.

As she had to keep a close eye on her photos, which was a time bomb for her.

Then she clicked the text, Meet with me in the president's office.

Ella was confused, 'why was the president's office?'

She quickly replied: Was it the president's office of the Hill group?

Five seconds later, he texted a word: Right.

Ella walked back to the office with a deep frown. She sat for a while and finally walked into the elevator.

She could not have imagined that the president secretary he said would be the president secretary of the Hill Group!

'How could he become the president secretary?'

'Did the president of the Hill group have affection for men?'

'Did he make it by virtue of hidden rules?'

After thinking of this, Ella shivered with goose pimples all over her body.

At this point, the elevator door opened, and this was not the floor of the president's office.

It was on the floor of the chief secretary, and everyone needed to inform him before they could meet the president.

Charles Wood was waiting for her at the entrance of the elevator, "Miss Williams, you didn't have to get out of the elevator."

She was startled, and then Miles swiped the card. Tahe green light was on, and the elevator was lifted to the top floor.

After walking out of the elevator, Ella walked toward the president's office directly.

When she got there, she knocked on the door.

"Come in, please."

"The sound was close to her, as if it was just in front of her. Then Ella pushed the door and was held up by a tallman.

She was thrown forward and laid on a lavish leather sofa.

Aiden trapped her. Ella whispered, "You are crazy! Here is the president's office! What if the president came in?"
