What did she see?
Ivy Thompson was actually waving at her!
Fiona Bradford hurriedly straightened her clothes and said to Elizabeth Aitken: “She’s waving at me; I can’t miss this opportunity. I’ve decided that my main target today is Ivy Thompson.”
Elizabeth Aitken: .
From that moment on, Fiona’s eyes were fixed on Molly Walker until she sat down, and then Fiona approached her with a glass of wine.
Elizabeth Aitken stood awkwardly aside.
“What are you waiting for? Aren’t you coming with me to toast?” Fiona furrowed her brows, “Don’t forget that you’re my assistant today. Without me, you wouldn’t even be qualified to enter this place.”
Seeing that Elizabeth was still unmoved, Fiona’s face darkened and she said fiercely, “Still not moving? Do you still want your job?”
Elizabeth’s face stiffened, and she lowered her head in distress.
She really didn’t want to go over. Even if she had a good relationship with Molly, she had her own self-respect and was afraid of embarrassing Molly.
If she stood by Fiona, Molly might agree to cooperate with Fiona because of her.
But she was unwilling.
Even if it meant losing this job.
Fiona was still nagging, and just as Elizabeth was about to turn around and leave, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, “What’s wrong?”
It was Molly!
Elizabeth’s body stiffened.
Actually, since just now, Molly had been paying attention to the situation here.
Seeing Elizabeth clenching her teeth and lowering her head, Molly frowned.
Walking closer, she could hear the woman in the black suit constantly scolding someone.
“Don’t forget you’re my assistant now!”
“Still not moving? Don’t want your job?”
Elizabeth’s face turned from red to white, obviously in great discomfort.
At the moment Elizabeth turned around, Molly couldn’t help but interrupt Fiona’s words.
Seeing Molly, Fiona’s face almost collapsed in shock, “Ivy Thompson! Miss
Thompson, hello.”
She stood nervously in front of Molly, noticing her eyes falling on Elizabeth, and quickly explained, “I’m scolding my assistant.”
“Scolding?” Molly sneered in her heart, but her face showed no trace of it.
What she had just seen was not a normal workplace “lesson,” but blatant personal attacks and insults to one’s character.
“Yeah, I wanted to toast to you just now, but she refused to come over and even argued with me,” Fiona mocked. “She’s just an assistant but wants to act like a boss.”
Hearing Fiona’s words, Molly understood everything.
Elizabeth was straightforward by nature, not flattering or submissive, and she was too proud to do anything sycophantic, especially when it came to herself. So, of course, Elizabeth would resist.
“What do you want when you bring me the wine?” Molly struggled to suppress her anger.
Fiona laughed, “It’s nothing major. I heard that you guys took on a government project and wanted to find some small companies to outsource. Our company mainly deals with building materials, so I thought I’d try to get to know you and see if there’s a chance to cooperate.”
“So, it’s about cooperation,” Molly chuckled.
Indeed, the Thompson family had plans to find some companies for outsourcing smaller areas of cooperation, as they and the Gallagher family couldn’t handle the whole project on their own. Outsourcing was more
convenient, but the collaborating companies hadn’t been finalized yet. Starting
today, some people had already contacted her for cooperation.
Molly looked at Elizabeth, who didn’t dare to raise her head, sighed softly, and patted her shoulder, “Shall we talk?”
Fiona’s face changed, and she grumbled, “Miss Thompson, what do you have to talk about with her? She’s just an assistant at our company; she can’t make any decisions…”
Molly glanced at her coldly, “I’ll talk to whoever I want.”
Fiona:
Meeting Molly’s apologetic gaze, Elizabeth smiled, “Let’s go and chat for a bit.”
Watching Molly and Elizabeth walk off to the side, Fiona clenched her teeth and trembled with anger.
But soon, she noticed something odd.
Molly and Elizabeth’s conversation seemed more like they had known each other for a long time rather than having just met.
Fiona couldn’t help thinking back to when Miss Thompson IV had greeted her just now; was it not for her?
She stood there nervously, not even hearing the voices of the people around her.
After an unknown amount of time, Elizabeth and Molly finished talking and walked towards her.
Obviously, Elizabeth was in a good mood.
With a pale face, Fiona hesitated to ask, “You and her… Do you know each other?”
Elizabeth nodded, “We’re good friends.”
Good friends?!
Fiona’s face turned from green to white, and she angrily asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you knew her earlier?”
She thought that Ivy Thompson was waving at her, but it turned out they were interacting with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth replied indifferently as if talking about daily life: “You didn’t ask.” This cold attitude made Fiona tremble with anger and ache inside.
Thinking of the main purpose of coming today, Fiona quickly calmed down and said, “I’m not going after the previous matter, but you should introduce us to each other. Otherwise, you don’t need to go to work tomorrow.”
Using her job as a threat again.
Thinking about what Molly had said to her, Elizabeth took a deep breath and said calmly, “She said she could cooperate with our company, but she wants to speak with our boss. I have already given her the boss’s phone number.”
Hearing that Molly had to talk to the boss, Fiona’s face changed, looking extremely ugly.
Directly bypassing her to talk to the boss, did that mean this whole thing had nothing to do with her anymore?
“Elizabeth Aitken, do you know that this is inappropriate? Skipping levels is what superiors hate most in their workplaces,” Fiona said.
“Skipping levels? Aren’t I the lowest level assistant? What level am I skipping?” Elizabeth spread her hands and sneered, “She asked me for the boss’s contact number; could I refuse? What if she decides not to cooperate?”
“You’re good friends, aren’t you? How could she not cooperate?” Fiona grumbled angrily, quickly took out her cell phone, and walked aside to call the boss, “Hello, Boss, I just talked to Miss Thompson. She agreed to cooperate with us. I gave her your number, and she’ll talk to you…”
Even if she spoke to the boss, it would be fine as long as she came up with ways to take credit for everything; the result would not change.
She was so sure of her calculations.
The boss’s voice came through the phone, “I know, she talked to me already.
She said she can cooperate with us but wants Elizabeth Aitken to be in charge.” “Elizabeth Aitken?” Fiona cried out, “Why her? She’s my subordinate; if they want to connect, they should be connecting with me.”
“That’s why Elizabeth Aitken has been promoted,” the boss’s voice paused,
“From now on, she’ll be in charge, and her position will be higher than yours.”
Elizabeth Aitken was promoted?
And directly promoted to be her superior?
Fiona’s face suddenly turned pale, and she could barely hold the cell phone in her hand..
