of me.

Lily had just finished speaking when everyone stopped working, their attention shifting between Lily and me, Jean couldn't take it anymes and immediately stepped right in front o

"Ms. Jane, you're just a personal assistant. You don't have the right to interfere with the design department, right? And do you know how important this project is?"

"It isn't portant, there's no need for me to take over, right?" Lily said as the immediately pushed Jean to the side, and looked down at me. "pea, you've just come back to the company, and you don't understand many of the current projects. You can forget about showing off

"You're just one of the company's staff, so all you need to do is to obey the orders from your higher-ups. It's time for you to adjust your attitude."

Lily immediately extended her hand toward me as if the was the boss's wife. I ignored her and stood up, immediately walking to the president's office. Several other staff were reporting on their work in the office when I walked in and immediately slammed my hands on Leonard's de

"You sure you want to let Lily lead the design department?"

Lily got back at this time and looked at Leonard as if she had been mistreated.

"Lee, Eva isn't willing to let me join in and won't give me the material. The meeting is starting soon. What should we do? If the partnership with Downstar Corporation fails, the company will lose a large sum of money. Can you bear this responsibility, Exa?" Lily made it sound so distressbul as if I had really harassed her. However, I ignored her and simply looked at Leonard

Leonard waved his hand and told the others to leave the office immediately. They were worried they would get dragged into this if they were any slower.

Meanwhile, Leonard looked at me with interest. "You haven't been at the company for a few months and Lily has been working hard. What's the problem if she's leading?

"She's going to get involved in a lot more work and the design department jast one of them, Mentor her and teach her sincerely."

My lips curled into a stony smile. Lily was just an int, and I was going to mentor her? We were not even in the same department

However, Lily immediately nodded when she felt Leonard was backing her, "I will do my best and learn to that I can become your right-hand woman, Lio."

I didn't even bother watching their interaction and immediately said, "I'm the director of the design department. My work scope doesn't include mentoring interns. If you want me to member, there will be a price. Pay me." "What Leonard stood up immediately, slamming his hands on the table.

I extended my hand without an expression on my face. "For the tuition Otherwise, have human resources replace a professional to mentor her."

Leonard gritted his teeth as he said "alright" a few times in a row. In the end, he glared at me angrily. "What's with the demands? Is the only thing you care about now is money?"

"That's right."1 retracted my hand. "It's fine if you don't want to pay me a lump sum. You can give me a raise since I'm basically taking on people's jobs."

I was very sure of my current situation. Leonard and I didn't have much of a relationship, so all I could use to maintain this relationship was money.

Otherwise, if he chose to fire me, all I could do other than choose to divorce was smash the furniture at ho

Leonard stared at me for a few minutes No matter what Lily said in the interim, he didn't say anything.

In the end, he faced a few words out as he grimed his teeth "Fine. I'll give you a raise.""

I picked up the phone on his table and made a quick call to the HR department

"This is the HR department How can 1 help you, Mr. Harmon?" The voice of the staff working at the human resource department came from the other side.

I said with a faint smile and whispered, "We should be quick with certain things.

I didn't want to act like a scoundrel, but what could 1 do if he wasn't a gentleman and wouldn't give me my money?

Leonard roared at the phone, "Promote Eva Geen by one level to raise her basic salary."

Before he even finished, I took the document and left. When 1 was walking past Lily, I reminded her, "The meeting's starting soon."

Lily didn't expect that was what I had done, and she didn't react in time. I didn't know what Leonard told her after that. However, when she was in the meeting room, her eyes we all red.

I asked an organize the materials for the meeting and gave them to her. "Ms. Jane, the client will be here in half an hour. Make haste."

"Don't you worry, I'm Mr. Harman's personal assistant after all!" Lily said with a pour as she took over the document and quickly made notes.

I had no idea about her work efficiency, but seeing that she was rushing to present herself, she should have same capabilities. Not to mention she was trying hau best to humillate me. She would no doubt do her best However, I had overestimated her. I thought Lily would at least have the cost major and that she would have some understanding about all the meetings we were having in the company after following Leonard for a few months. However, the lapton making mistakes even when she was simply trying to chair the meeting in the end, she simply readi

ad from the document.

But even when she was simply reading off the document, she was still making so many accus. Several of the keywords in the Aelish language had been misread, and Jean had to teach her the correct pronunciation

I wanted to say something quite a few times out of nervousness, but Lily would always cut me off.

"Eva, I'm charing the meeting"

• Tooked at ma stubbornly, and had nothing else to say. In the end, Mr. Robert Wells from Dawnstar Corporation stopped the meeting.

"I'm sorry, but allow me to stop this meeting, M. Green, is this how much sincerity the Harmon Group has? If Mr. Harmon doesn't wish to continue our partnership, I suppose your company can immediately pay as the damages." The meeting room was so quiet that one could hear a pin dep. Dolly Lily's sobbing could be heard. She quickly stood up and apologized to Robert

"I'm so sorry, M. Wells. The design department had just passed me the documents, so I'm not familiar with the project. The materials that Eva gave me are all professional terms and l'on really not familiar with them." When she blurted those words, everyone looked at her diet. Was she mad?
