Chapter 90 Let's Have A Meal Together
A series of coughing was heard, causing the several female employees in the pantry to tremble in fear. Slowly turning around, they saw Haley standing behind them with a half-smile, making it clear that she had heard everything they had just said.
They were extremely relieved that they hadn't spoken ill of Haley. If Emily had overheard them gossiping like this behind her back, they would have been fired. The female employees stuttered, not knowing how to address her.
Mr. DeRoss was referred to the Chairman, Emily as the General Manager, then how should they address Haley?
"You can call me Manager DeRoss," Haley said with a sarcastic smile. "Before long, I should be the Manager of the Client Department."
After hearing this, the female employees exchanged confused glances. They had heard bits and pieces about the bet between Haley and the shareholders. The Roscente Group was a multinational conglomerate that only collaborated with overseas companies and never selected domestic ones.
Although the DeRoss Group's development in Cuenca was decent, it was nowhere near the level of the Roscente Group. To reach a cooperation agreement with the Roscente Group within three days was nearly impossible.
But now, Haley was already fantasizing about her future as the manager of the Client Department. They couldn't help but silently pray for her.
Unaware of their thoughts, Haley leaned against the doorframe lazily and said, "Lunchtime is approaching. How about I treat you all to a meal?"
"It's not right, Manager DeRoss. We're just small employees, eating at the cafeteria is fine," the female employees declined one after another.
"There's a new French restaurant near the company, and the food should be good. Don't you want to try it?" Haley asked with a mischievous smile.
A newly opened French restaurant with an average price of over 500 US dollars per person. Who wouldn't want to go? The person inviting them was Haley DeRoss, the current sensation in Cuenca. She was a frequent visitor to the news. They really didn't want to get involved with such a person.
"I just arrived at the company, I just wanted to inquire about some things that everyone knows," Haley flicked her hair, "But if you don't want to, then forget it, I'll ask someone else."
"I'll go!" A round-faced girl stepped forward. "Manager DeRoss, I'll accompany you for lunch."
“Then, then I’ll go too!” The other girl with glasses nodded.
With the temptation of good food, and Haley lowering her stance, there were five people at the lunch table. They were all girls in their twenties, and when they gathered together, they chatted incessantly about various gossips within the company.
For example, the manager and secretary of the technology department were having an affair, Maxine's husband from the customer service department cheated, and the deputy manager of the planning department had an affair.
Haley also joined in the conversation with these girls, and after a meal, their relationships quickly grew closer.
…
In the CEO's office, Mr. DeRoss's face was full of anger. "Emily, what did you do last night? How could you mess up such a big matter?"
"Dad, haven't I explained already? My computer got infected, and the files got hacked, so I couldn't attend this morning's bidding conference," Emily was exhausted, "It's just a $50 million project, can't I make up for it with my own money?"
"It's not about the money!" Mr. DeRoss slammed the documents on the table, "This is a long-standing client of the DeRoss Group. They chose another company this time, and they will choose another company out of inertia next time! It's a loss of $50 million for one year, and it's billions of dollars over ten years..."
