Contract Marriage? True Love

Chapter 14: She was in a worse situation 

Not only Ethan, but also the secretary was shocked.

Wasn't this woman the one who came in by her own relationship? After thinking for a while, Ethan finally shook his head and said, "No, the design should be submitted on Friday."

Emma found that there were fewer than three days left till Friday.

It was really hard to complete such a design within three days.

"I'm planning to arrange a few more people to design in a hurry."

Emma shook her head, "That won't do, President Carl.If we don't let people who understand the Cherish series of rings do make the design, no matter how many people we have, we won't be able to do a good job.Not only will we fail to produce a suitable document, but also we'll ruin its image in people's hearts."

Upon hearing this, Ethan also had a headache.

The design task was a hot potato now that many employees didn't want to accept.

"Just leave it to me, President Carl."

Emma promised, "I'll send it back to you by Friday night."

Ethan lowered his eyes.

There were no better ways now.

Since Emma said she wanted to have a try, he would like to give a chance to her.

"Well, this tough task will be handed over to you."

Ethan paused and his face became serious, "Don't be happy too early.If you fail to finish this task, you will affect the cooperation with the Dreamy Company.Your salary will be deducted by half this month as a punishment."

"Huh?"

Emma froze on the spot.

Emma’s silly look made Ethan snicker.

He was thinking that it was good to let this girl have a try.

It would be good if it succeeded, but if it failed...

she would be fined half a month's salary to get a warning and do those tasks that he had arranged for her in the future.

It was a win-win situation.

Emma walked in the office with documents in her arms and a solemn look on her face.

She didn't say anything, and people would have thought something serious happened to her.

She sat down on her chair and laid the design on the office table.

She was deep in thought...

Although it was not obvious, she seemed to have made a big trouble for herself.

If she didn't finish it on time according to the rules, half of the salary this month would be deducted...

"No way! It's the design for Cherish!"

The colleague who worked together suddenly cried out in surprise.

Emma, who was sitting in a daze, was shocked.

They all knew that all previous designs had been sent back.

Any normal person who saw such a difficult and complicated task would try to avoid it.

Why was Emma, a new employee, so bold to accept the task? At that time, there was a sudden crisp sound of high heels.

Emma looked up and saw a beautiful staff with long hair that reached her waist sizing her up, "Is President Carl the one who gave you this design case?"

Her tone seemed to be very tough. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Emma looked confused and thought, "Is there any problem with the design plan that I made?"

"Yes, that's right."

Answered by Emma.

"You, a new comer, seem to be very popular around President Carl.Are people coming in by relationships are so conceited now?"

The beautiful staff looked down at Emma in a condescending manner with a smirk, her expression full of obvious contempt and despise.

Emma frowned and thought, "Who the hell is she?"

"No, I don't.I just want to strive for more tasks.’ Emma looked down and continued to be busy with her work.

"You don't deserve this design case.It's disgusting"

Emma was confused when a colleague next to her leaned over and whispered to her, "This woman is called Aina, and she is deeply praised by the president.She has been promoted three times a year, and...The returned design plan was made by her before..."

Emma was stunned for a moment and finally knew where the woman's anger came from.

Aina's design plan was sent back.After all, she had prestige in the company.

The failure of her design case was taken over by a newcomer like Emma, which meant that she couldn't even handle the case as an experienced employee.

What did this rookie got to handle it? It was a humiliation for her that President Car! asked Emma to make the design! Aina looked at this lovable rookie.

She had never thought that she would be so disobedient! She had seen this woman walk out from President Carl's office many times.

That was the president's office! Why could she enter or leave it freely? Moreover, when she asked this question, Ms.Geller still defended this rookie! She had made so many efforts to get her place.

How could it be that she was going to be pushed out by this rookie? "Can't I try what you've failed?"

Emma frowned.

"What a joke.How could you possibly make a design plan even I can't do?"

Aina paused for a second and then went on, "You're such a rookie.How could you be so arrogant?"

Emma's face couldn't help but turn red.

She couldn't even say a word after hearing what this beautiful woman called Aina said.

"What are you arguing about?"

Ms.Geller suddenly came in after hearing the sound.She summed up Aina and Emma who were arguing with each other in front of her.

Emma's face was red.

Without thinking, Aina must have bullied the newcomer again.

Aina was not a woman to be trifled with.

Even Ms.Geller had to treat her with respect.

Ms.Geller might have ignored the event in the past, but now Emma was also arranged by President Carl after all and the president asked her to take good care of Emma, so she couldn't sit by and do nothing.

"This rookie is pretty conceited.Not only did she steal my design case, but also she even dared to talk back to me!"

"I didn't!"

Emma defended herself, "This plan has been rejected, and it was President Carl who ordered me to do it.How can you think that I'm stealing it from you?"

Ms.Geller took over the design case and looked at it carefully.

She also couldn't help frowning.

She knew that the design case was made by her in person at the beginning, but hers also failed.

Even she and Aina couldn't succeed in making the design.

Why did President Carl allow to let this newcomer do it? Wasn't President Carl a bit too careless.? She knew what Aina was worried about To be honest, they didn't know the true strength of this novice.

Aina was worried that if this design case was really succeeded by Emma, then her position in President Carl's heart would be in jeopardy.

Emma was beautiful.

If she proved that she was also talented, Aina would feel worried for sure.

After all, President Carl's gossip girlfriend was Aina.

"I thought there was something special."

Ms.Geller chuckled and said, "It's just a design case.Everyone wants to win the favor of President Carl through this design case.Everyone has a good purpose.But will it break the harmony of the office if you treat a newcomer like this?"

"So let's forget about the matter of this rookie talking back to me?"

Aina put on airs and said to Emma, "How about this? If you apologize to me now, I can forget your previous rudeness and collision to me."

Emma was speechless.What did she say? She merely wanted to make her own design.

She knew that the work she did might touch Aina’s sensitive nerves, but she did not intend to apologize.

"No." Ms.Geller was also stunned by the cold and tough answer of Emma.

Generally, when a newcomer encountered this situation, she should bow his head and apologize no matter whether it was her fault or not.

After all, a newcomer could not afford to offend this woman! "I didn't do anything wrong.

Besides, I believe I have the power to finish this job well!"

Aina's expression changed, and she suddenly laughed coldly, "What a joke.What kind of ability do you have?"

Emma was furious.

Was her ability looked down upon by others? She said, "If I can't complete this design case within the stipulated time period, I will resign!"

Even Ms.Geller was shocked.

She had seen a lot of young people who would be angry easily when someone doubted their ability, but today's situation was really strange! There were so many people who wanted to come in the design department! But today, this little girl took it as a bet! Aina laughed in a self-satisfied manner, "Fine, I will mark your words."

No one had ever dared to oppose her.

If someone did, she would find a way to trample that person to death! She would let the newcomer know the price of defying her! The staff dispersed after being driven away by Ms.Geller, and the news was immediately spread by those gossips.

The newcomer dared to argue against Aina.

One seemed to be a brainless newbie who came in by relying on her relationships, and the other was a favorite of President Carl.

Now these two people started a battle, and who would be the winner?

"I don't mean to blame you, but you are too impulsive."

Hearing of the event, Brianna also talked about it while eating, "We all know how difficult the design is.Why don't you just apologize to her?"

Emma had worked for a long time.

She understood this, but when she thought of Aina's words and her expression, she couldn't suppress her anger.Emma might be timid all her life, but she was eager to prove herself.

And she had a strong self-esteem.

It was okay if she didn't have money, but she could not lose dignity.

Aina scolded herself in front of so many people.

She couldn't endure this anger.

"All right, I see.No more talking..."

With a sad face, Emma banged her head on the table.

It seemed that the new job that Oliver found for her was going to be screwed up...Boohoo...If she could return to the past...if she could return to the past, she would go to toilet at that time! She would rather she hadn't seen Aina!

"Don't think about it.Let's eat.How can we have the strength to work if we don't eat?"

Emma shed two lines of tears silently.

She couldn't eat it, and she couldn't eat it! Her mind was full of the designs.

She couldn't eat and felt that she shouldn't waste time here.

After thinking about it, she said goodbye to Brianna and went straight back to her desk.

She was the only person in the quiet office area.

The sad expression on her face seemed to tell that her own home was ransacked.

Ms.Geller looked at her through the huge glass window and couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, "This child who is too upright will suffer a loss.

"What's wrong with her?"

Ethan stood behind Ms.Geller without being noticed by anyone.

Ms.Geller was shocked by President Carl who appeared mysteriously.

"Pre, President Carl..."

Ms.Geller wiped her sweat and said, "When did you come here?"

Shouldn't he be eating or working in the office upstairs at this time...

"I'm asking you.What's wrong with her? Why does she look so sad? Did she fall down again?"

"No, but she's in a worse situation..."
