We Will Collide Someday by Scarlett Sanchez
Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Targeted by Colleagues

Alexa wondered, why would they break the rules and promote me? Who made the decision? Alexa had many doubts in her heart, and in the end, she thought it was done by Terrence.

The other colleagues were unconvinced, and they kept whispering.

Not only did the chief secretary have to be outstanding in business ability, but more importantly, they must have more than three years of working experience.

No one had clearly understood the level of Alexa's business ability.

More importantly, she was a newcomer!

Tiana took the lead to applaud, and the others reluctantly gave perfunctory applause.

Other than that, no one congratulated Alexa.

Even Alexa did not think this was a good thing.

The previous conflict appeared strangely, and now the promotion was so unbelievable.

She took the document from Tiana and went straight to Terrence's office.

After Alexa left, the others couldn't restrain their anger anymore.

"Tiana, regarding this matter, we hope that you can give us a reasonable explanation," Amira tried hard to suppress her anger and said word by word. "Judging from qualifications or ability, I don't think that Alexa can reach the standard of a secretary general."

"I will definitely give everyone a reasonable explanation," Tiana adjusted her glasses and said shrewdly. "In addition, if anyone has any objections, you can submit it to the personnel department." Tiana made this matter clear, but in the end, the others were still not satisfied.

At this time, Alexa had arrived at Terrence's office.

"What is it?" Terrence asked calmly.

"Why did you break the rules and promote me? Why didn't you follow the rules?" Alexa said slightly anxiously. "In all aspects, Amira is more competent than me."

When the Duran family's company still existed, her parents and brother had always hated such things.

Therefore, Alexa also hated a despicable method.

However, Terrence had suddenly made her become such a "despicable woman". Alexa suddenly

felt that she was humiliated badly.

When Terrence heard her words, he just shifted the main point.

"Are you questioning me?"

"Of course, I am questioning you," Alexa said. "Because it goes against the rule."

"Alexa!" Terrence raised his voice and said in an unquestionable tone. "Just accept whatever I give you. There is no need to talk so much nonsense."

"But this is unfair to others."

"There are many unfair things in this world." Terrence frowned and added firmly, "Besides, I don't think there's anything unfair about this matter." Terrence, of course, knew what Alexa was thinking, but Alexa did not know what he was thinking.

She was always thinking about others and always looking down on herself. She used to be the little daughter of the Duran Group, but now she was anxious because of such an inconspicuous position. Terrence didn't expect that she would lose all her arrogance during the three years in the Ramsey family.

"This matter will end here. If you say anything more, I will fire them all," Terrence said coldly.

"You..."

"What?"

Terrence leaned back in the chair and looked at her with a cold smile.

Alexa did not have such great power as he did, so she had to keep silent.

"Then I'm going out," Alexa said lightly.

"Wait for me at the garage after work tonight."

"Okay."

Alexa obediently responded and went out without looking back.

Terrence did not have the joy of a winner. Instead, he was annoyed in his heart.

He was so good to Alexa, but why was she still wearing a cold face in front of him?

Alexa had just walked out of Terrence's office when she happened to meet Amira, who was passing by with a cup of coffee. Alexa immediately revealed a smile and called out intimately.

"Amira."

Amira stopped with a poker face and looked at Alexa with her sharp eyes.

"Hi, chief secretary," Amira said in a mocking tone, "What can I do for you?"

"No..."

The smile on Alexa's face immediately froze, and she gave an embarrassed reply.

Amira, on the other hand, seemed to have caught hold of her weakness as she mocked.

"You just went to see Mr. Ramsey. How did you thank him?"

"Amira, listen to me. This is not the case. I didn't..."

"No need," Amira smiled. "I don't need you to give me any explanation. I will absolutely obey all of the company's arrangements."

With those words, Amira gave Alexa a look of contempt and left arrogantly on her high heels.

Alexa was stunned on the spot, and she didn't react for a long time.

The relationship between Amira and her used to be very good, and they all knew that there was a problem with this arrangement, but why was no one willing to believe her? Alexa returned to the office and was about to explain the situation to everyone.

When Kaya saw Alexa, she immediately said indignantly.

"We didn't say anything when you entered the company through connections, but how could you steal the fruits of others' labor so casually?"

"Yeah, that's too much," another colleague agreed. "Do you know how hard Amira has worked for this? Do you know that Mr. Ramsey hates these dirty things the most?"

"There are already colleagues who are asking for an explanation. When the higher-ups know about it, you can't even get rid of the results."

"Besides, our department is in the charge of the president. Maybe Mr. Ramsey will personally

handle this matter."

Hearing their words, Alexa thought that they must have absolute trust in Terrence. After all, he was a symbol of absolute authority in this company. Alexa felt that there was no need to explain.

If she were to say that it was Terrence's decision, perhaps no one would believe it at all.

Alexa simply kept silent and sat on the seat to deal with affairs.

However, if one was targeted, everything he did would be blamed.

Not only the secretariat, Alexa felt as if she had been hated by the entire company.

Alexa ran among various departments for an entire day to deal with some affairs that could have been handled in two hours.

Not only did they deliberately affect her efficiency, but they even mocked her.

However, what Alexa had experienced had made her psychological endurance strong enough to go through a lot of tempering.

She did not take these experiences to heart. Instead, she worked more carefully.

Everyone was staring at her, hoping that she would leave the company by herself.

However, the more others let her be in a storm, the more Alexa dared to face the difficulties.

Before getting off work, Terrence temporarily dealt with a contract and sent a message to Alexa, asking her to wait for him. However, Alexa did not reply to him.

An hour had passed when Terrence finished his work.

He was about to go to the garage. But when he passed by the secretariat, he caught a figure from the

corner of his eye.

It was Alexa, and only she was still in the office.

Terrence stood at the door with a deep gaze, took a look, and then went straight downstairs.
