Chapter 318
"Every day, she's the last one to arrive at the office, but the first one to leave! When she is in the office, she would just collect flowers and chocolates. After that, it would be almost noon. At noon, she would have lunch in restaurants. After that, she would look through the documents, learn about the new regulations, answer calls, reply emails, make up from time to time and walk around. Then, her day is basically done!"
Giselle caught her breath before continuing.
"President, I'm not exaggerating, but I don't think Miss Blanchard is suited to work in the International Affairs Department! With her around, there hasn't been an increase in work efficiency. The office is filled with flowers and gifts as well as colleagues from other departments. It has seriously affected the usual order in the department. Many employees have been complaining..."
The more she said, the more excited she became. On one hand, she wanted to push this blame away. On the other hand, she did not want Alicia around dragging the team down. However, Giselle didn't notice Frederick's expression.
How dare she speak ill of his wife? Was she trying to get herself fired? Chet tried to warn her, but she didn't notice. Finally, he couldn't bear to even look at her.
"Ahem! She's a newcomer. Be more tolerant and teach her slowly!"
Giselle was too much. Couldn't she at least talk about some of her merits? Looking at how she was complaining about Alicia, it was like an indirect slap on Frederick's face.
Chet interrupted because he wanted her to stop. He didn't expect his kindness to be in vain. Giselle was still unhappy.
"President, please trust my judgment. I'm telling the truth. Miss Blanchard is not suited to work in a high-pressure job like in the International Affairs Department. I think she should work at the front desk!"
Hearing this, Chet turned his head away speechlessly and began to roll his eyes. Was Giselle saying that Frederick had chosen a wife that was incapable?
Although he had learned about Alicia through written investigation and hearsay, Chet believed that the woman chosen by the picky Fredrick Clements would definitely not be as useless as Giselle had described!
Glancing at the woman in front of him, Frederick's eyes became colder. Indeed, he didn't like the fact that his wife was being belittled in such a way by someone he didn't care about.
"Okay! I've heard enough! I will find someone to verify this matter. Let's talk about it later!"NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Originally, he summoned Giselle here to understand the situation and relieve her of the burden. Unexpectedly, the outcome was completely unexpected. He waved his hand.
"The performance of your department is obvious. You're indeed a good leader! Keep up the good work. The staff training for the new product must be accelerated. After the exhibition, once the report is out, we will introduce the product officially. At that time, we will apply for the patent. The overseas maintenance fee is very high, so the manmade errors must be minimized. Understand?"
After being encouraged, Giselle straightened up a little. There was a smile on her carefully made-up face. "Yes, President! I will hold a meeting and remind the staff!"
"Well, all right then. Get back to work!"
After watching Giselle walk out of the door, Chet said, "Do you want me to find out more? Giselle's judgment seems to be too arbitrary!"
She should have given more leeway when she was judging the work performance.
Waving his hand, Frederick said, "No need! Look for an opportunity. I want to see it with my own eyes."
Now that a mistake had just been made, it was definitely not a good time! He really wanted to see how capable Alicia was to be able to deceive the world and make something out of it!
On this day, after having a hearty meal in the President's office, Alicia was obviously in a good mood. In the afternoon, she studied the new product seriously. In areas that she did not understand, she even called the technicians to learn from them. She managed to gain a lot of professional knowledge. She had always been a responsible person regarding work. Although she was just a temporary worker, it was Frederick's business after all. Alicia would definitely put in extra effort. Even if she couldn't contribute, she wouldn't want to drag the team down.
Completing the task in hand, it was almost time to get off work. As soon as Alicia relaxed her nerves, she received a message from Victoria.
"We're going back to Casterwich City tomorrow! Come out and have dinner when you're free! I'll introduce my boyfriend to you!" The excitement was inexplicable. In an instant, Alicia was filled with curiosity, "You got a boyfriend?"
She then received a picture from
Victoria. The picture showed Victoria with a handsome man. He was holding her hand by his lips while Victoria was staring at him. They looked like a sweet couple. It seemed like the picture was taken on the streets.
It has only been a few days since Alicia last saw Victoria. How could she already have a boyfriend? Alicia was both happy and worried for her. "It's so sudden. I'm surprised!"
Keh Clements? Alicia had a feeling that she had heard of this name somewhere before.
Feeling confused, Victoria replied the message.
"Have you forgotten? He's the
classmate in middle and high school
I told you about! We haven't seen each other for many years, but met once when I was at an overseas event! In fact, he has been in contact with me for a year. I wasn't sure about us, but he has just asked me tébe his girlfriend. Moreover, his company is opening a branch in Casterwich City, so he decided to work here. You can meet him next week!"
He turned out to be the classmate she once had a crush on.
It really was fate!
After many years apart, they managed to meet again. It was really fate! Alicia was happy for Victoria and sincerely gave Victoria her blessing. The two of them agreed to meet during the weekend.
This day, when she got off work, Alicia was in a good mood. As soon as the bell rang, she quickly picked up her bag and went out. Her steps were lighter than usual. However, she didn't realize that the manager was staring at her as she walked out.
The moment Alicia got home, she received a phone call from Frederick, "Since you're off work, do you want to go to the supermarket with me?" "Okay!" As they talked on the phone, Alicia was changing out of her work clothes.
When Frederick entered the door, he saw that Alicia had changed into a loose T-shirt, denim shorts, and a pair of white sneakers. She looked like a young student.
"Give me a minute!"
After changing into loungewear, Frederick took her hand and the two of them headed to the supermarket nearby.
