My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) -
Chapter 55Work With Hilary
While speaking, Amy opened the door and saw Richard hugging Allison. That was really embarrassing. And Allison was looking at Amy with a complacent smile. When he saw Amy, Richard wanted to push Allison away. But Allison held his waist more tightly with her arms.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just here to get my teacup. I didn't see or hear anything. You guys can enjoy it." Amy walked to her table, took her teacup, and flew away.
When she closed the door, Amy patted her chest. Richard and Allison even made out in the office in the day. Humph, what a lovely couple!
Perhaps she came at the wrong time. Forget it. She should stop being so gossipy. After all, she wouldn't work in Richard's office again.
"Amy, you're flushing. Did you run too fast?" Hilary watched Amy as she came back and sat opposite her.
"Yes, it's a little hot." Amy lowered her head.
"Well, Amy? Why are you here? To inspect our work? I thought you should work in Mr. Carter's office. It's only been a few days and you've come back. We're really flattered." Zoe walked over, looked at Amy and said in a weird tone on purpose.
Amy looked at Zoe and wondered why she wasn't fired yet. Didn't Richard say that Zoe would resign if she couldn't finish her work that day?
"Are you surprised to see me? Do you think that you can seduce and manipulate Mr. Carter with your face? You should remember that Mr. Carter only loves Allison. Now that Allison has returned, there's no place for you!" Zoe did not fear Amy anymore. Allison came back and spoke to Richard for her. So she could stay in the company.
Amy finally got it. It turned out that Zoe was Allison's friend. So, Allison was indeed very important to Richard.
"Even if Mr. Caster loves Allison, it has nothing to do with you. Why are you so proud?" Hilary pulled Amy over. Hilary looked at Zoe and her big mouth and just wished she could just slap Zoe right on the spot. "Who are you?" Zoe looked at Hilary in surprise. She did not know Hilary, nor did she know that they had a new colleague today.
"Zoe, you were not here. This is the new secretary, Hilary Carter." Someone whispered to Zoe.
"Oh, so she's new here. Why is she so arrogant and how can she talk back to me?" Zoe did not notice that Hilary's family name was Carter.
She looked at Hilary, who seemed to be dressed in ordinary clothes. Hilary was pretty, but so what? She should be just a poor student since she was Amy's friend. Zoe was confident.
"Alright, I am a very generous person. So I don't want to argue with you. Since you've come back, you need to work hard. Wait a moment. I will arrange work to you today." Zoe stopped arguing since she didn't want to cause trouble. She had only returned today. Although she was still the acting head of the secretariat, she was not in full charge yet.
Everyone left. They thought that they could watch another fight today, but the fire went out at the beginning.
Very quickly, Zoe came over with a stack of documents and gave them equally to Amy and Hilary.
"These are your work today. Since you just come back, I won't push you. Just hand in these translations within three days." Zoe smirked.
The HD Group's secretariat was also responsible for the translation work. So when hiring secretaries, they required applicants to know at least one foreign language. Thus secretaries could all work as translators.
When Amy applied for this job, she told them that she was good at German. But the documents Zoe gave her were all in French.
Hilary was even more miserable. She was good at English, but Zoe gave her documents in German.
It was true that they could finish the translation in three days, but only if they were proficient at these two languages. However, Zoe didn't let them do what they were good at.
Amy looked through the documents and felt that she could make it in three days. But she was worried about Hilary.
"Hilary, don't worry. I'll work overtime to finish my translation. Then I will help you. I'm good at German." Amy comforted Hilary.
"Amy, thank you. I happen to be fluent in French. Let's just exchange our task." Hilary was very grateful to Amy. She was not that stupid. She might not be good at other things, but she could speak three foreign languages. This translation was not a problem for her.
Amy was impressed and felt lucky to meet Hilary. She thought that Hilary was a rich girl who couldn't do anything. But it turned out that Hilary was quite competent.
"Zoe's trick failed! That's so funny. Amy, let's replace a quiet place and translate these documents. I think we can finish it in two and a half days. Then I'll treat you to dinner and celebrate it!" Hilary was very happy that she could work with Amy.
"Alright, before we go out, we should tell Zoe first. Anyway, she gives us three days. We can't be disturbed while translating. Let's go to the tea house where Mom took us last time. It's my treat." Amy checked her bank balance. She could afford it.
"Alright, let's do this!" Hilary went to talk to Zoe. She didn't expect that Zoe agreed at once.
In fact, Zoe was happy that she got rid of big problems.
The two documents were from the SR Company, whose boss was a very picky old man. He had very strict requirements on the accuracy of the translation. So they used to ask the professional translation company to revise the translation again before submitting to SR company.
Yet that old man was never satisfied. Today, Zoe just threw these hot potatoes to Amy and Hilary. They would certainly get scolded and she could wait and enjoy the show.
Amy and Hilary left the HD Group hand in hand. They drove to the tea house and went to the same room. After ordering tea and some desserts, they started translating the documents.
Time passed by. They almost became robots. Hilary had a laptop, but Amy could only do it by hand. So, Amy was much slower than Hilary.
"Hey, Mom, could you bring me a notebook? The same one as mine. I'm in the tea house where you came last time. I need it right now."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
