Such a Rude and Noisy Woman
Chapter 148 Hiram's Order

"Hey, I've got to go." Rachel hurriedly hung up on Hiram and nodded at the woman beside her. "Sorry, I'm going to copy them now!"

The woman was none other than Jessie. Hearing Rachel apologize to her, she smiled with disdain and said, "Apologizing to me isn't going to help you remedy your mistake.

Since you're working at Streams Company, you should have at least read the working rules here. How can you make such a silly mistake! I really can't understand what's wrong with our superiors. Why did they hire someone who doesn't have any experience at all?" Rachel, who had started copying the files, furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that. She turned to look at the woman who looked about two years older than her.

"Miss, I know that I shouldn't have answered the phone at work. But this is the first time I have made that mistake. Do you really have to speak so harsh to me?"

"Well, Rachel, I'm your senior. Even though I speak harsh to you, I am helping you improve! How dare you talk back!" Jessie shook her head and laughed, thinking, 'No wonder Daniel wanted Rachel to get some training. She really needs it.'

"That's not the point. What matters is that I have already apologized, and I'm trying hard to make it up. Could you stop nagging at me?" Rachel curled her lips in discontent and continued to copy the documents.

She wasn't a meek lamb and she wasn't going to let others bully her at will.

She never threw the first punch, but if someone wanted to humiliate her, she wouldn't just stand by and tolerate it.

"Jessie, what happened?" At that moment, a woman with a pair of black-framed glasses who had been one of the three women in the tea room outside, walked in and asked.

Jessie pointed at Rachel and said, "Nothing big. This rookie hid in the copy room to make a phone call. I heard it, so I hammered some sense into her. Now she's talking back to me."

"What? Rachel, Jessie is a senior in the planning department. Even we won't dare to complain if she criticizes us. You're new in the department. How dare you defy her?" The woman with the black-framed glasses asked, flicking her hair.

"Well, Jessie, let's go. Nowadays, little girls like her don't have manners at all. Especially the rookies, they know no respect for rules! Don't waste your time on her, let's go!" Jessie glanced at Rachel with disdain. She was just about to walk away when she suddenly remembered something and turned back to see the documents in Rachel's hands. "Hey! Are those my documents?

How could you deal with them like that? You should have stacked them in order, but you've messed them up. Now I have to start them again!"

Rachel looked at the tidy stack of documents she had arranged and asked, "What do you mean I've messed them up?"

Someone knocked on the door in the middle of the quarrel.

It was Daniel. He came in and looked at the three women. Then, he turned to Rachel and asked, "What happened? Why are you clustered here instead of working?" "Mr. Zhuo..."

Jessie quickly lowered her head and greeted him. She changed her hard attitude and softened her tone. "This is what happened. I saw Rachel talking on the phone there, so I criticized her a little. She talked back to me and messed up the documents that I have arranged painstakingly."

"I can testify to that. But Mr. Zhuo, Rachel is new here, so she might not know the rules of our company. Nothing big happened here," said the woman wearing glasses in an attempt to soothe down the quarrel. It wasn't a big thing after all. She didn't want them to create a scene here.

Daniel looked at Rachel and at the documents in her hand. He noticed that the page numbers on the papers weren't in order. But putting the documents in order was just a personal habit, and it wasn't significant.

Rachel flipped through the papers to put the documents in order. She didn't defend herself because Jessie was obviously replaceing fault with her on purpose.

"Jessie, right? Here are the documents that I copied. You can check them. I will resign and leave this company if they're not placed in order," Rachel said, slamming the documents onto the table.

Jessie picked up the first two documents and looked at them. She found that they were indeed arranged in the right order and looked away. She had carped at Rachel on purpose in the first place, so she just glanced at the first two pages without checking further. "Jessie, you are a senior in the company. I remember seeing you work here the last time I came to Streams Company, " Daniel said, looking at Jessie. "Although there is a rule at Streams Company that staff can't talk on the phone for a long time during work hours, they're not forbidden to answer a single phone call.

How about you? Do you dare to say that you haven't received a phone call that's not about work during your working hours?"

Jessie lowered her head and rolled her eyes with unease. She had thought that since Daniel had arranged for Rachel to do such a menial job, it must have meant that he didn't like her.

She hadn't expected Daniel to help her.

"Yes, my bad. Mr. Zhuo, I won't make such a mistake again,"

Jessie said with her head bowed. She knew she was at a disadvantage and that she shouldn't argue with Daniel in that situation.

Rachel looked at her watch, replaceing that it was already past the time she could get off work. She walked out of the copy room, disregarding the others.

Not long after she walked out of the office, Daniel caught up with her.

"Are you all right? I was working when Hiram kicked the door open and ordered me to get you out of the quarrel," Daniel said.

"He also said that I should settle it according to the situation. If they went too far in provoking you, I could fire them immediately," he added.

He knew that if the conflict hadn't been so trivial, Hiram would have come down and helped Rachel himself.

Rachel stopped walking, turned to Daniel and said, "You were the one who was supposed to settle the quarrel. It burst out on your account. Of course you should solve it."

"What do you mean? Why are you blaming me for that?" Daniel stepped in front of Rachel and asked with a bitter smile.

"Because you're the one to blame. Although it's my first day working in this department, I know what's going on here. Jessie is one of the women who like you. She thought I was your girlfriend, so she deliberately found fault with me.

Are you still going to deny that the quarrel took place because of you?" she asked.

Daniel hadn't realized it till now, but no wonder Jessie's eyes brimmed with passion every time she looked at him. It turned out that she had a crush on him, and that was why she had picked a fight with Rachel.

"If that was the reason, I apologize. You can come back to my floor tomorrow."

Rachel walked into the elevator and said, "Now that I've started working here, I'm not going to leave so quickly. I'll stay here for at least a week."

Daniel followed her in.

Just then, someone shouted, "Wait up!" Rachel and Daniel heard someone trotting towards them. Rachel quickly pressed the button to open the door and waited for the third person to enter the elevator. She didn't expect that the person would turn out to be Jessie.☐☐☐☐☐☐
