Chapter 452 Luke’s Questioning!
Bella screamed at Bianca mercilessly.
Bianca was flushed red, but she could do nothing but endure Bella's screaming. After all, she did make a mistake.
She wanted to give herself a few tight slaps when she thought of the potentially fatal mistake that she made.
'Why didn't I pay attention when I was working? How can I make such a stupid mistake after working for so long?'
With both her fists clenched, Bianca assured Bella, "I'm sorry, Bella, I swear this kind of mistake will never happen again, please trust me."
Bella continued screaming at her, "You are nothing but a pretty face! Don't be so smug just because of your minor achievements. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have someone behind you? An irresponsible employee like you should resign voluntarily. My department is not a place for good-for-nothings!"
Seeing that Bianca was beaten down to nothing, Sue immediately got fired up.
She stood up from her seat and defended Bianca, "Bella, I trust that our colleagues are well aware of Bianca's capabilities. She has been giving her all since she joined our department. In the past six months or so, she has never made any mistakes. Instead, because of her outstanding and innovative designs, we have received endless orders. How can you deny her of her efforts?"
Nina stood up too. "Bella, the management is well aware of the revenue that Bianca has created for the corporation, but you verbally tear her down just because she made a single mistake. Don't you think
that you've gone overboard? Many newcomers have made more mistakes than Bianca, seven more serious than this one, and I have never seen you embarrass them like this.'
Nina's words were somewhat ironic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was true that every newcomer to T Corporation's design department would eventually make a mistake, no matter how careful they might be.
Although Bella would criticize them, she had never been so rude and mean.
If people who witnessed the scene did not know that they had a superior and subordinate relationship, they might think that they were enemies!
Sue and Nina rattled on and on like two muskets.
To be honest, they knew that it was unwise to call out their superior in the workplace. If Bella wanted to make their lives hard, she could have deducted their bonuses and allowances. In serious cases, they would even lose their jobs.
However, Sue and Nina were not afraid.
One reason was that they were Bianca’s friends, and Bianca had backing in top management. On top of that, they genuinely thought that Bianca was doing a great job. Just because she made a mistake, she was ridiculed and insulted by Bella in public. They would not let it slide.
The employees of the design department stopped their work and watched the drama unfold.
Everyone knew that Bianca was romantically involved with Mr. Crawford.
How dare Bella scream at Bianca like this? Was she not afraid that Bianca would complain to the CEO and have her fired?
Bella was furious that her subordinates spoke out against her in front of so many people. She sneered as he said, "Well done, all of you! Bianca made a mistake, and you chose to be on her side instead of correcting her!"
After she said that, Bella threw the folder in her hand on the desk and went to Mavis's office.
However, to her annoyance, Ms. Laviere was not in her office.
Bella hated Bianca and disliked Sue and Nina, Bianca's best friends at work. Now that they were united against her, Bella hated all of them.
After Bella left, everyone went back to their work.
"Bianca, why are you swallowing your anger? Why didn't you say anything when Bella screamed at you like that? You are making yourself an easy
target." Nina did not understand why Bianca behaved as such.
Bianca smiled bitterly as she said, "I did make a mistake and I should be criticized. I don't have any grounds to retaliate."
Sue wanted to tell Bianca to stand up for herself, but after seeing how pliant she was, she thought maybe Bianca was uncomfortable because she was just scolded. So, she patted Nina on the shoulder and signaled her to be quiet.
The two of them gave Bianca space to calm down.
Bianca was not sure why, but she had an ominous feeling that something was going to happen. Therefore, she was careless when she was working, which led to the mistake that she made.
After that, Bianca put aside her anxious thoughts and forced herself to not overthink. She continued her drawing, but she continued to make mistakes on simple tasks...
Her mind was not on the task at hand. For the first tin forever, Bianca had the idea of going to the CEO's office to look for Luke.
Usually, Luke would be the one taking the initiative to call her whenever he wanted to see her.
She wondered if she should go over...
Finally, Bianca decided to send him a message.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca downloaded a cute emoticon package. She chose a cute GIF with the words "Love and Kisses" and sent it to Luke...
However, that did not improve Bianca's mood.
In the CEO's office.
Mavis stood by Luke's desk and reported on her work in Western Europe.
"Mr. Crawford, the projects in Western Europe have been completed. Last month, the team that I led successfully signed a $700 million deal with the British AC Design Group. It's a good way to start the new year." "Not bad. How do you want to be rewarded? As long as I can do it, I will definitely say yes."
Luke looked at Mavis, a glimmer of appreciation flashed through his eyes.
He had always been generous in terms of monetary rewards for the employees who had made significant contributions to the Corporation.
Mavis hesitated for a while and finally said what was in her heart, "Mr. Crawford, I want to be transferred back to the Headquarters. Can I?"
She worked so hard to complete the tasks that he assigned to her, not only to prove that she was good enough to be with him but more importantly, she wanted to be by his side instead of being pushed farther and farther away.
Mavis's gaze revealed how desperate she was to transfer back to the T Corporation headquarters. She stared straight into Luke's eyes, which made him squint slightly.
He could not figure out why Ms. Laviere was so excited to be transferred.
Suddenly, Luke thought of the lace panties that showed up in his car unexpectedly a few months ago.
It had caused a rift in his relationship with Bianca. The trust between them crumbled because of that.
Luke probed, "Ms. Laviere, when you rode in my car the last time, did you leave any personal belongings in my car?"
Mavis becnervous when she heard what he said. Her heart raced as she thought to herself, 'Luke, he...he doesn't know anything, right?’
