Chapter 206 Sorry, My Husband Is Here to Pick Me Up
Linda was silent.
Several female colleagues were silent.
"What do you mean?" After a while, Linda asked.
Elizabeth, who was not good at communication, simply said, "I stayed to continue working. We switched positions; you will be my assistant from now on. All your design drawings will need my approval before they can be implemented."
Linda was silent.
After a pause, she suddenly shouted angrily, "Elizabeth! You think just because you helped me handle an incident, you can get a promotion! You helped me handle the incident, but you also extorted $100,000 from me! What more do you want now? Climb to my position? No way! You all heard it, Elizabeth not only extorted $100,000 from me, but now she openly asks me to pack my things and give her my position, shamelessly wanting me to be her assistant. Elizabeth, you think just because Mr. Lavien favors you, you can become the boss of this company? You must be delusional!"
Linda's words were sharp, as everyone present felt the sting.
However, several female colleagues stood united with Linda, even the male colleagues who had just spoken for Elizabeth now feeling she was out of line.
But just as Linda finished speaking, Anna walked in.
Behind Anna was Robert.
"Linda, do you not want to work here anymore? If it weren't for Elizabeth pleading for you today, you would not only have to pay $100,000, but you would also lose your job! And not just your job, but your reputation in the industry as well." Anna severely criticized Linda.
With her face turning pale with fear, Linda called out, "Ms. Morgan."
Anna scolded, giving Linda a stern look, "It was Elizabeth who pleaded for you in front of me, deciding not to demand the $100,000 from you. She is so magnanimous. She not only surpasses you in business but also excels in practical operations. Working under her will only benefit you, not harm you. Are you already defying your superior right from the start? You are really bullying her too much!"
Anna's sharp words made it clear.
Elizabeth would stay and work, having been promoted.
She became the lead designer, with Linda being now her assistant. She was Linda's superior.
Linda looked at Anna with a sullen face, saying aggrievedly, "Ms. Morgan, I've been with the company for four years. You know my design level. How can you let Elizabeth, who only knows how to work on-site, become my superior? She has practical experience, but does she understand aesthetics? She can't even dress herself properly. What does she know about beauty?"
"Linda! If you don't want to do it, then resign! The company doesn't need you here. You say Elizabeth's clothes are ugly, like a bumpkin. Have you ever thought that if she dressed as well as you, standing next to her would make you look old and ugly?" Robert, standing behind Anna, mercilessly scolded Linda.
"Mr. Lavien." Linda said, acting coquettishly towards Robert, "You weren't like this before. You used to be very polite to the female employees."
Robert sneered, "I am still polite and caring to female employees! But I am also a shareholder of this company! As a shareholder, the most important thing is to retain talent. Elizabeth helped our company handle two emergencies in one day. Anyone who dares to ostracize her is going against my money! I run this company to make money. Not to have my core talent driven away! I don't care how beautiful or charming you are. But if you harm the company's interests, you have to leave! I've encountered countless women. Your looks only serve to offend my eyes."
Linda was silent.
"From now on, you are Elizabeth's assistant. If you don't like it, leave!" Robert said harshly to Linda.
"I can," Linda said. What else could she do?
If she left this company and it became known that she lost her job due to her own mistake, driven out by Robert, she wouldn't find work in the architectural design industry.
Robert's scolding and Linda's submission were seen by all the designers present.
The smart ones quickly changed their attitudes.
They immediately looked at Elizabeth with flattering eyes.
Someone directly started to compliment her with a smile, "Congratulations, Ms. Spencer. I hope we can work together harmoniously."
"Ms. Spencer, your ability to handle emergencies is truly admirable. We have a lot to learn from you. Sorry for any trouble."
"Ms. Spencer, can I help you pack your desk?"
"Linda, hurry up and move your stuff!"
"Yeah, hurry up!"
Elizabeth and Linda were silent.
"Ms. Spencer, you can sit here. Don't move, I'll help you pack your things."
Elizabeth calmly said, "No need, I can do it myself. I'm just here to work. As long as we work well together, nothing else matters."
After speaking, Elizabeth turned to Robert, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Lavien. Since the company has given me this salary, I will work hard. Linda has her strengths, and we can complement each other in the future."
Her words gave Linda a bit of face.
Linda awkwardly said, "Thank you, Elizabeth."
"No need," Elizabeth said flatly.
After speaking, she began to pack her things.
Seeing Elizabeth's calm and composed demeanor, Robert stood at the design department's door, thoughtfully stroking his chin.
Elizabeth was truly beautiful.
Beautiful in appearance, and in temperament, with a serene and powerful beauty.
Robert could see that Elizabeth dressed plainly to deliberately hide her beauty, but the more she did so, the more he liked her.
That evening, when work ended, Robert purposely parked his car at the company entrance, waiting for Elizabeth to come down.
Elizabeth refused him.
But that didn't stop him from persistently pursuing her.
As the employees left, Julia came down from upstairs, waiting for Elizabeth for a while, and then walked out with her arm in arm. As they exited, they saw Robert holding a large bouquet of flowers, smiling warmly at Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth, how about having dinner together?"
Elizabeth didn't answer because she clearly saw the imposing car at the corner of the intersection behind Robert.
"Sorry, my husband is here to pick me up," Elizabeth said truthfully.
