Chapter 852 Gotta Hurry Up
In the office, Juniper burst into laughter after hearing the decision Saffron made.
'Saffron is such an idiot,' she thought.
Kieran shook his head speechlessly, "With that kind of intelligence, I really don't know why Mr. Cooper still lets her work here. It's a joke to the outside world."
"Is the loss significant?"
"Not much, just a million dollars. Fortunately, you had the foresight to give her fewer projects, and they were all small ones, so she couldn't cause too much trouble."
"Let her mess around then. Consider the lost money as a tax on her stupidity. If she doesn't cause trouble, my dad won't kick her out of the company. Keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any major disasters."
"I know, don't worry."
Saffron's astonishing feat spread throughout the entire company within an hour.
"Oh my God! Is this for real? Is this a decision made by a human? Is it not a joke?"
"If any other leader did this, they would be thrown out immediately. It's too ridiculous!"
"What can you do? She's the CEO's daughter. Even if it's unreasonable, who dares to say no? Anyway, it doesn't lose much money. As long as she's happy, it's fine."
"Yeah, it's like spending money to buy happiness."
"The joke online is true. A rich girl not working is equivalent to making money. Once she starts working, she directly loses money."
"Anyway, her family is rich. They can afford to lose money. It doesn't matter. Rich people can be willful."
"Our willful princess is here." Everyone exchanged glances and smiled strangely.
Saffron had no idea she had become the company's laughingstock. She thought she had worked particularly hard and achieved something great that morning, feeling a strong sense of accomplishment.
How hard could it be to be a strong woman? Although she couldn't understand those numbers, and she couldn't follow what they were saying in meetings, often dozing off, she believed she had made a very wise decision.
And as a successful leader, wasn't it just about making decisions? The rest could be left to the people below.
Yes, she needed to buy a few books on successful management in the afternoon.
Whether she read them or not was another matter, but having them in the office would elevate the atmosphere.
Those who looked down on her at work would definitely see her in a new light.
Thinking of this, Saffron raised her proud chin, full of pride.
Little did she know, she was a joke to others.
Although they looked down on Saffron, those women still competed to flatter her, praising her wisdom and saying she was born to be a leader.
Saffron obviously enjoyed these words very much and said proudly, "Of course, I had excellent grades when I was studying art."
"Wow, Ms. Cooper used to be an art student. No wonder she has such good taste, different from us ordinary people."
"Such high taste."
"Her ideas are different from ours, bold and innovative."
At this point, the woman couldn't help but laugh, and the others also held back their laughter knowingly.
Saffron thought they were praising her and became even more proud, "Of course, you can't stick to conventions. You must be bold and innovative. I am the representative of innovation. If I had joined the company earlier, the company's performance would be twice as good as before."
Twice?
The company would have collapsed under her, wouldn't it?
She really had a problem with her brain.
"Exactly, Ms. Cooper is right."
"Ms. Cooper is wise."
Seeing her proud look, Juniper laughed while eating her pasta.
Kieran also laughed, "Why are you suddenly so happy? What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly feel that having Saffron here isn't entirely without benefits."
"What do you mean?"
"I just treat it as a joke to watch, adding some fun to the boring work."
"That's a unique perspective. Are you always this optimistic?"
"It's not optimism, it's a fact. Think about it, how many people like her, who are so brainless yet think they're smart, are there? At least not many in a big company like the Cooper Group, or they would have been fired long ago. Watching a joke walk around every day is quite interesting, isn't it?"
Kieran nodded, "You have a point."
"Right."
"Both are Mr. Cooper's daughters, but the difference in intelligence is so big. I can't help but wonder if she's really his biological daughter."
"Maybe she inherited her mom's genes. Her mom is also an unusual person, just like her."
"So your mother must be a very outstanding, highly intelligent woman."
"Of course, my mom was amazing. She used to be a strong woman too."
Unfortunately, she passed away early.
But Juniper wouldn't repeat the same mistakes. Her career was just starting and doing well, and her love life was smooth. She was very satisfied and believed the future would only get better.
At this moment, a wave of nausea suddenly surged in her stomach.
Juniper quickly covered her mouth, "I'm going to the bathroom."
She rushed to the bathroom and dry heaved but couldn't throw up, so she rinsed her mouth with water.
Almost two months pregnant, was this the legendary morning sickness finally coming?
She had looked it up online before; everyone's situation was different. Some had severe morning sickness and suffered a lot, while others had mild symptoms.
She hoped she was the latter.
She placed her hand on her lower abdomen and murmured to her belly, "Baby, mommy is working hard every day. Please be good and don't make mommy suffer, okay?"
As she said this, she suddenly felt a magical connection.
Previously, she had no reaction, so she didn't feel much about being pregnant.
But now, the morning sickness was a link between her and the baby, making her feel the pregnancy very clearly.
It seemed she couldn't work overtime like this anymore. She needed to rest appropriately and not let the baby suffer with her.
And wasn't it about time to schedule the first prenatal checkup?
Should she call Anthony for the first prenatal checkup? After all, it was a significant moment.
That also meant Anthony should quickly handle the relationship with his dad.
In another month or two, her belly would grow, and it would really become a shotgun wedding.
Juniper was in a good mood initially, but now she felt a bit of urgency.
That night, she didn't work overtime until ten; she went home at eight.
As soon as she entered, she heard Saffron bragging to Aaron, "Dad, really, I worked very hard today. I looked at documents all day."
Juniper thought, 'You? Can you even understand them? You're just bragging.'
"Really? You need to work hard and learn from Juniper. She's a professional."
"How great is being professional? Talent is also important. I think I have a knack for business."
"Yes, I think so too. Our Saffron is smart. She just didn't want to do it before. Once she puts her mind to it, she'll definitely be better than Juniper."
Elara chimed in with mindless flattery.
These two mother and daughter were like two brainless clowns.
"Dad, I made a particularly great decision today."
"Go on, let's hear this 'particularly great' decision," Juniper said with a half-smile.
