Chapter 296 Return to the Admin Department
Mitchell started to pack her things.She stuffed all the documents into a carton, bid farewell to Mary, and walked out of her office.
Burton stood not far away.He rushed forward at the sight of her and took the carton from her hands.
"Let me help you."
Mitchell didn't refuse.She raised her head and her eyes flashed.
"Did Adams send you here?" She asked.
"It's Paula.She told me to take care of you."
Burton paused for a moment before he spoke.
Mitchell's heart went cold at his word.She had thought it was him.She pulled her lips and smiled without a word, and her eyes were fixed on the road ahead.
Seeing this, Burton hesitated for a moment and said, "Adams also told me to help you if you need anything, such as the dress for the engagement ceremony."
"Thanks." She refused flatly.
"I can afford it."
She wished she had nothing to do with Adams at this moment.
At the door of the Admin Department, Mitchell took the box from Burton and walked in without turning her head.
Burton stood on the spot and watched her walk away.His senses had taken their leave.
In the President's Office just now, Adams did ask him to help her, and he told him to keep it a secret.
That was why he used Paula as an excuse just now.
The president did care about her, but he always behaved indifferently.
The misunderstanding between them went deeper and deeper.
All the eyes rested on Mitchell the moment she walked in.She took a deep breath, straightened her back and walked towards her office.
Lisa walked toward her in front of the door.
After the last episode, Lisa broke up with Mitchell.
Now she no longer hid her feelings from Mitchell.
Mitchell took a deep breath and asked, "Anything for me?"
"Where are you going?"
Lisa raised her chin slightly and looked at her arrogantly. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"To my office."
Mitchell squeezed out the words from her gritted teeth.
"Argh! There's no place for you here."
Lisa glanced at her with a thin smile.
"I and my assistant are working here, and there is no place for you."
Mitchell's head buzzed.
She was about to speak when she saw the office door was pushed open and a familiar figure came out.
"Emma?"
Mitchell's heart tightened.
Emma was also stunned to see Mitchell, but she quickly regained herself.
"Hi, Mitchell.Are you coming back?"
She approached her and asked.
"She was kicked out of the CEO's Office," Lisa answered for her.
Embarrassment flitted across Emma's face.
She took Mitchell's hand and said awkwardly, "We've been busy recently, and Lisa promoted me to the supervisor.I don't know..."
Mitchell forced out a smile.She patted Emma's hand and comforted her.
"It's not your fault.I will check with Carter and see what I can do."
She had a short conversation with Emma and went to Carter's office.
Mitchell felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Now that Emma had taken her place, where should she do? She raised her hand and knocked on the door before she walked in.
Carter was not surprised to see her.She asked Mitchell to sit down.
After a brief talk, she said, "Well, you and Emma can share the office.Your position remains unchanged.I will adjust later if needed."
Mitchell nodded in agreement.It was the first time that this company had three supervisors in one department.
Mitchell knew that Carter was giving her face.She went to her former office and told Emma about Carter's arrangement.
A small desk was added to the office, and they worked together.
Mitchell had gone through one big swerve.She had been promoted to the CEO's office, but now she was back in an embarrassing way.
Mitchell suppressed her emotions and focused on her work.She didn't come back to her senses until Emma reminded her that she was off work.
Perhaps due to guilt, Emma took the initiative and asked, "Mitchell, do you want to have dinner together?"
"Sorry, I got something on."
Mitchell declined with a smile, "We'll do it next time."
Emma nodded.
Then she packed and left.
Mitchell stepped out of the office, looked into the sky, and walked towards the Starlight Plaza.
She didn’t want others to look down upon her, and she must choose a decent dress for the engagement ceremony.
There were lots of designer stores in the plaza.
Mitchell hesitated after she saw the price of them.
The garments in the basement catered to the public and were less pricey.
Mitchell visited several stores.
Then she mustered up her courage and asked.
"Where is the fitting room? I'd like to try them on."
The sales associate led her to the fitting room, and she went inside with the selected item.
The skirt was soft and fit her perfectly, but she felt it was not formal.
Suddenly, she saw a long black dress next to her.It was long and simple and came with a small waist.
"Please help me get that one, I want to have a try."
"Sure."
While Mitchell tried the new dress, Jamie looked high and low for his cousin on the upper floor.
Entrusted by his parents, he brought his younger cousin here to shop.She was active and vanished before him within a second.
He had been searching for her for a long time.
The 17-year-old young girl had a rebellious character.She always found fault with Jamie, and maybe she hid on purpose this time.
He didn’t know how to explain to his elders if he lost his cousin.
At this moment, his phone vibrated.
It was a text message — she is in the fitting room of Bojo Women's Fashion Store.
Jamie was dazed.He checked the number— it was a string of garbled text.He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the elevator.
After all, his priority now was to find his cousin! He searched all the way to the basement and stopped in front of the store.He approached the sales associate and asked, "Where is the fitting room?"
The girl pointed with her hand and asked, "How may I assist you, sir?"
Jamie ran out of patience.
"Is there a girl in the fitting room? She is thin and has long hair."
The clerk nodded hesitantly.
Jamie walked straight to the fitting room without a word.
