The Good Girl's Revenge -
Chapter 420
"How about this? Director Mason, since you have just been transferred here, it will take some timefor you to become familiar with B Department's working process. You can move to this office whenyou can get the hang of it. And it won't be too late. What do you think?"
Emma looked like she was doing it all for Meredith's good.
Meredith was not a fool. She certainly knew this was a trap hidden in Emma's nice words aftersecond thoughts.
What did she mean by saying "when you can get the hang of it"?
If she agreed, she would become an honorary director as long as Emma occupied her office andarranged the work for B Department.
In this way, the so-called adjustment period would have no end.
She smiled, "Ms. Ross, as I said earlier, the headquarter has a strict and clear division between theupper and lower levels. I was just transferred here. If the superiors replace that B Department's twodirectors are reversed, that's not proper and will also bring trouble to Ms. Ross."
She didn't mean anything else. But Emma felt that Meredith was threatening her with the topmanagement of the headquarter. She immediately looked gloomy.
Meredith ignored her anger. If she had taken back her power, she would have offended Emma,which was inevitable.
She couldn't do as Emma asked her to do in order not to offend her. Then there would be no pointin her transferring over.
She continued, "Well, I'll temporarily set aside an area for Ms. Ross in my office. In three days, I'll tryto hand over the work. It's more efficient. What do you think?"
Emma thought to herself: How did I think? I thought the idea sucked.
She thought hard and wondered what she should do to make Meredith retreat. She already deemedthis office as her own.
She hated Meredith who were taking over her position.
But before she could come out with an idea, a design assistant rushed in, "Director Emma, Damian ishere."
There was only an assistant named Ann in the whole headquarter. Emma's face changed and sheimmediately ran out to receive him regardless of Meredith.
Damian was Mr. Xavier's personal assistant and had been working with him for many years. No oneelse in the whole group, except Mr. Xavier himself, could order Damian.
He was only second to Mr. Xavier in this group. Even the shareholders at the headquarter had tosave Damian's face.
In addition to Mr. Xavier, Damian was also the golden bachelor in the eyes of whole femaleemployees. Actually more people dreamed to be his girlfriend. After all, Mr. Xavier was a high andunreachable rack.
In contrast, Damian was at least a little more approachable.
He actually came to Design B Department himself. Emma's heart was mixed with joy and worry asshe did not know why he came.
Meredith naturally thought of Damian. Was Damian came at this time because of her? Thinking of it,she followed them out.
"Damian, it's a great honor for our B Department to have you .." Emma's originally rigid face wasnow smiling brightly.
Damian didn't need to pay attention to such an unimportant person like her. He looked around andsaw Meredith, who had just come out of the conference room. He curled his lips and walkedtowards her with people behind him.
"Director Mason, today is your first day on the job. Boss asked me to bring someone over to see ifyou need anything and to redecorate the office for you.”
His words had a huge impact on the entire B Department, especially Emma. Her face instantlyturned pale.
What did Damian just say? Did the boss ask him to come over? Whom could Damian call the boss?There was only one person.
There were usually two types of paratroopers. One had either strength or strong background. Theother type had both. Meredith obviously had a strong background.
Emma had asked more than once about who backed up her. But it never occurred to him that it wasMr. Xavier.
Meredith blinked and looked at Damian doubtfully.
What Damian did and said was clearly supporting her and telling the others that Derek was standingbehind her. If anyone tried to make trouble for her, he should weigh up the consequence.
But Derek had said before that she needed to secure the position of design director with her ownstrength. In that case, why did he ask Damian to come over?
Damian sighed in his heart. His words were not matched by deeds. Boss obviously still couldn't bearto let Meredith face it alone.
Since yesterday, Mr. Xavier was absent-minded several times in his office. Today, he couldn't helpbut send him over. Tut, tut.
Although she did not know the reasons, Meredith smiled bitterly in her heart that she did feelslightly relieved when Damian arrived.
She was still not used to deception and blackmail in the workplace.
"I haven't been to my office yet. I need to see it and then decide whether to change the decorations." Meredith did not reject Damian. After all, both the office and the workplace were private spaces.
A comfortable environment was more conducive to work.
Meredith looked at Emma, "Ms. Ross, please lead us."
Emma snapped back to her senses and stammered, "No, no problem.” She walked towards theoffice and felt like she was stamping on the cotton.
The branches certainly couldn't be compared to the Design Department in the headquarter. EachDesign Department occupied a whole floor with a large area.
Emma led them to the office. Until she was standing outside the office door did she suddenlythought of something. She widened her eyes and tried to stop them. But Damian had alreadypushed the door in.
She looked uncertain and followed in with a pale face.
Classical music was playing in the big office. The tea on the coffee table was fragrant and a fewwomen's coats and shoes were scattered on the sofa. There was a strong smell of perfume in the air.Damian: "..."
He didn't show his anger but he already knew what was going on. He glared at Emma sharply, "Areyou the deputy director of B Department?”
Emma's face turned pale and her legs trembled. She could not speak for a moment and could onlynod.
"I remember Director Smith of B Department was transferred last week. And the new transfer noticewas announced three days ago. Could you please explain to me what these are?"
As he spoke, he ran his eyes over the things in the office, "Who made all this mess?"
At this moment, Emma was not as domineering as she used to be in the conference room. Her mindbecame muddled and she had put aside the position of the director.
Today, this matter could be negligible or very serious. If the top really wanted to pursue it, shemight not even keep her position now.
