Chapter 553: Chapter 548: Marriage Contract_1
She had just transferred to the headquarters, her career had just begun, she can’t let it be ruined by such a petty matter!
Manager Zhang did not understand, why would Mr. Thompson, a busy man, be concerned about such a trivial thing.
She only got to see big shots like Damian Thompson during the company’s annual meetings when he gave a speech on stage. Other times, he was nowhere to be seen. She couldn’t believe she was the one who stepped on the landmine today and not the girl in front of her!
Vivian Wilson glared at Grace Harrison, shocked that Damian was showing so much attention to Grace.
Why her!
Had she worked so hard for so many years just to pave the way for Grace Harrison?
“Brother Damian, don’t blame Manager Zhang, it’s Grace Harrison who didn’t explain things clearly.” Vivian Wilson sneered at Grace Harrison, “Tell us, did you do it on purpose? Did you deliberately act the victim to get Brother Damian’s attention?”
“Don’t think that I don’t know that you deliberately spilled coffee on Brother Damian, wanting to have some kind of interaction with him. You’ve read too many novels, you must be waiting to become the phoenix that rises from the ashes, right?”
Once Grace Harrison’s background was exposed, she had also investigated the history between Grace Harrison and Damian Thompson, which was a mere coffee incident.
“Brother Damian, don’t be fooled by her, from the moment she met you, this has all been a plot by Grace Harrison. She is not at all that innocent of a girl, she has always treated you as her target!”
The more Vivian Wilson talked, the more she felt it to be true, the thought alone frightened her.
The intern assistant position that was within her reach flew away, and even worse, it landed right in Grace Harrison’s hands. How could such a coincidence exist in this world? It felt like a hidden hand was moving everything.
If Grace Harrison was able to scheme to meet Brother Damian, then it wouldn’t be strange for her to do something else.
Damian Thompson looked at Grace Harrison, whose face turned red.
Indeed, she had intentionally spilled the coffee that time, she had no choice, who made him so attractive!
“Whether she is innocent or not is none of your business.” Damian Thompson looked at Manager Zhang, “Those things you’ve said, and your actions, have greatly hurt the company’s image.”
Manager Zhang’s face changed drastically, she was scared to tears and quickly held Grace Harrison’s hand, “Miss Harrison, I’m sorry, please speak for me. I truly understand my mistake.”
She was wrong, she had chosen the wrong side to cling to!
If she doesn’t know who to depend on now, then all these years would have been for nothing.
“Miss Harrison, I’ll do whatever you ask, please help me. My husband is a stay-at-home dad, our whole family depends on me, I know I was wrong, please give me a chance!”
Manager Zhang was shivering in fear.
If she gets fired by the Thompson family for this reason, no one in the business world will employ her.
Her career will definitely be more miserable than Phoebe Belmont’s.
Grace Harrison pulled her hand away and looked at Damian Thompson: “She’s your employee.”
“How do you want to handle it?” Damian Thompson asked her in return, “What she said just now was an insult to you. Our employees saying such things to you is a failure of our company.”
“If she wants to stay, she must obtain your forgiveness.”
His words gave Manager Zhang a glimmer of hope, all her hopes resting on Grace Harrison now.
“Miss Harrison…”
“Just got scolded a bit, didn’t lose a chunk of flesh.” Grace shrugged her shoulders, “If she wants to stay, let her. It’s hard to find a job nowadays.”
Upon hearing this, before Manager Zhang could relax, Damian Thompson said: “Manager Zhang, as you insulted her just now, you must do the same to yourself.”
Manager Zhang’s body trembled.
How did she insult her?
She told Grace Harrison to take a piss and look at herself in the reflection…
“Manager Zhang, Mr. Thompson means that you should take a piss and look at yourself in the reflection, if not…you will have to regretfully leave our group.” Damian Thompson’s assistant looked at Manager Zhang with a cold face, as if he was looking at a dead person.
There were few people in the Thompson Group’s management brave enough to defy the Young Master so blatantly. Everyone knew his strategy – outwardly he seemed courteous and approachable, but his methods were merciless. You could even say they were ruthless.
The Young Master’s message was clear – she would have to do exactly as she had insulted others.
If she suggested that someone should “piss and see”, she’d have to actually do it, literally…
“Find a female colleague, let her do it,” Damian Thompson ordered.
The statement turned Manager Zhang’s face white as a sheet.
Was she really expected to urinate in front of her colleagues? Yet, this was the only way for her to keep her job.
Damian’s words were clear – either do as told, or leave.
She didn’t reach her current position easily, and if she were to leave now, it would cast a dark cloud over her career.
Grace Harrison didn’t understand their insinuations, and only took from the conversation the phrase “piss and see”. She didn’t think they would literally ask Manager Zhang to do it.
Vivian Wilson watched as Damian Thompson protected Grace Harrison, raging with jealousy.
“Damian, Grace Harrison is nothing but a liar! How can you still defend her like this!” Vivian Wilson’s face twisted in pain. She didn’t understand, she had been working diligently for a long time, nearly closing in on the position, only for it to be snatched away.
She was jealous and resentful.
Damian didn’t directly respond, instead he glanced at the time on his watch and turned to Grace Harrison: “First, my assistant will help you with your work induction, and afterwards, you can head directly to the top floor.”
The top floor, the CEO’s office, currently Damian Thompson’s office.
Grace Harrison’s heartbeat raced.
Ever since her attempt to approach Damian had been exposed by Vivian Wilson, it was increasingly difficult for her to face him.
It’s true, it was love at first sight, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been trying to win him over.
But once she discovered Damian’s real identity, she was both ecstatic and fearful.
After Damian had left, Vivian Wilson’s face turned red, devastated by her lover’s disregard.
“Grace Harrison, don’t think just because you’ve become Damian’s intern assistant that you can rise above your station! Let me tell you, the entrance to the Thompson family is high and mighty; it’s not something you can easily access!” Vivian Wilson fumed , “Do you think Damian will like the likes of you? You will always be a crow who can never get into the spotlight, there will never be a day when you can turn over a new leaf. If you’re smart, you’ll stop dreaming!”
“Dream?” Grace Harrison curled her lips with a smile in her bright eyes, “I don’t feel like I’m dreaming at all …”
“You’re always saying not to fantasize about rising above your station, if I’m a crow, then you must be dark like me too!” Grace shrugged her shoulders helplessly, “After all…my family’s assets exceed those of the Wilson Family, I’m a crow, then you’re a hen.”
She didn’t want to argue originally, after all, it was a waste of time dealing with these two.
But Vivian Wilson erred in revealing that she had deliberately spilled coffee on Damian Thompson.
Vivian Wilson wanted to embarrass her, so she was going to embarrass Vivian Wilson even more.
As expected, upon hearing these words, Vivian Wilson’s face distorted in rage.
The Harrison family did indeed surpass the Wilson family, which was what angered and devastated Vivian Wilson the most.
“Grace Harrison, don’t think you can be with Damian just by acting like this, your triumph won’t last long.” Vivian Wilson took a deep breath, a sinister smile on her face, “I originally wanted to take some time to get to know Damian better before we got married, but since you emerged on the scene, there’s no need for me to wait.”
“Damian and I have an engagement, one arranged by our families when we were young.”
“Grace Harrison, no matter what you do, you’re still a shameful mistress.”
Upon hearing the word “mistress”, Grace Harrison’s ears stung from the pain.
For some unknown reason, hearing Vivian Wilson’s words, Grace Harrison had a sudden sense of foreboding.
Does Vivian Wilson really have an engagement with Damian?
Is the “fiancée” that Damian mentioned Vivian Wilson?
