“Stop! Are you going off to Zayn once again?” Joanna looked perturbed.
“I'm checking the information for the Oceania project. Since Miss Meyer has refused to help me out with this matter, then. can only go up to Mr. Meyer to ask for his help. I believe that Mr. Meyer will support me with this ” Bethany replied in a cold voice as she scrutinized Joanna with her cold gaze.
Hearing this, Joanna flared up in anger.“You are not allowed to go. You can't go to him at this time” Joanna stood up quickly and strode around then she stood in front of Bethany.
Although she had sent people to deal with her before. However, she was so lucky that Zayn arrived at the time and saved her from being hurt badly.
Luckily, they didn't know she was the one behind everything. Otherwise, she would be hiding in the trenches of the bars right now. However, she won't take things lightly with her this time as well.
As long as Bethany is still in the company, the chances of the truth coming out in the open is very high, so she has decided to do what it takes to reduce their meetings at any cost. Not only that, she has decided to find a way to keep Zayn busy with work, thus she would take the chance to drive Bethany away from the company in no time.
“Miss Joanna, you better don't try to stop me from meeting Mr. Meyer” Bethany looked down at her arm that was roughly grabbed by Joanna and warned indifferently, “Less I forgot, I'm injured. if anything happens to me at Miss Joanna's place or if my injury worsens, I think Miss. Meyer won't be able to explain what happened here. After all, there are surveillance cameras all around this place”.
As she said that, she raised her head to the top with a smirk.
Joanna's face instantly changed at this, “Are you threatening me?”.
“As long as Miss Meyer doesn't try to stop me from going up to meet Mr. Meyer, I can't threaten you, isn't that right? ” Bethany smiled gently and shook the tight grip on her hand as she turned around.
Joanna stood right there, watching her disappearing silhouette in anger as she clutched her fists tightly and her teeth gritted.
After coming to the top floor, Bethany cane out of the elevator, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Gael, who seemed to have just come out of the Secretary's office and was heading to the President's office.
“Mr. Patron” she hurriedly shouted as she waved at him.
Gael stopped in his tracks as he looked toward her with an expectant gaze.
He nodded then smiled as he said, “Hello, Miss Quest. How may I help you?”.
Bethany soon came up to meet him.
“Mr. Patron, I want to see Mr. Meyer. I have some important work-related matters to discuss with him. Could you kindly inform him about my presence, please ?” Bethany asked politely.
“Sure, just wait right here” Gael pushes his glasses as he replied.“Since it's a work-related matter, I have no reasons to refuse you”
Soon after, Gael came out of the president's office and invited Bethany in.
Bethany bow to him gratefully before going forward to open the door to the President's office.
“Mr. Harvey ”.
Zayn raised his head from the computer and watched as she limped over. His eyes were filled with complications.
“You wanted to talk to me about something important? What is it about?”.
“Well......The thing is, I tried accessing the database earlier but I found that I couldn't do so. On a closer investigation, I found that my employee ID has been deleted from the system.........”
Bethany simply explained her purpose in coming up to him.
After listening to her explanation, Zayn tapped on the table gently and asked, “You want me to issue a certificate to allow the management of the personnel department to input your Employee ID into the system?”.
“Yes, Mr. Meyer”.
Before she came up here, she had realized that the situation required a certificate from her immediate supervisor to g
hasher Employee ID re-registered in the system. However, her immediate supervisor was Joanna.
Knowing that her employee ID was deleted by Joanna. Why would Joanna even bother to issue a certificate like that to her? So, she could only come up to ask for his help.
“Alright if that's the case, I'll have Gael take you to the personnel department,” Zayn said in an affirmative tone.
Bethany was overlooked by his response, so she simply said, “Thank you, Mr. Meyer. I'll take my leave now, I'll go down first” She turned to leave.
Just as she took a few steps, Zayn suddenly called out to her in a firmed, gentle voice.
“Hold on! wait a minute ”
Bethany stopped,
“Does Mr. Meyer have any orders?” She asked.
“How is your injury? ” Zayn stood up and looked at her swollen foot.
Bethany moved her ankle and replied with a smile on her face, “It's much better than before. It doesn't hurt much as long as I do not touch it”.
“That is good. I'll take you to the hospital to get an inject after work hours are over.” Zayn said as he sat back on his chair.
He has already made up his mind to be responsible for her until the very end that everything is finally settled. Taking her to the hospital and getting her treated is also his responsibility, after all, things got this messy because he had asked her to come out to meet him at such a late hour.
“There is no need for that, Mr. Meyer” Bethany Revenge:72:
Bethany waved her hand, “I've already gotten an injection”.
“You did? Zayn frowned.
Bethany looked at him and replied'“Jeffrey is a doctor. He had given me an injection last night.”
So it was him!
Thinking of the man he had seen last night, he couldn't help but feel angry within himself. He pursed his lips, his voice was much colder and the expression on his face was as cold as ice as he said.
“Go out and tell Joanna to come up here right now”.
“Alright, Mr. Meyer”.
Bethany was not in the mood to care about why his mood changed drastically as she simply turned around and left without refuting.
Ten later,
Joanna looked apprehensive as she approached Zayn.
“Zayn?”.
“Don't pick on Bethany in the future”
Zayn raised his brows and glared at her before saying in a deep, cold voice that made Joanna wobble.
Zayn was well aware of the fact that. Joanna was interested in the Oceania project but he ended up giving it to Bethany instead, that must be the reason why she's mad.
The reason behind her hostility toward Bethany could only be that matter.
He could understand that she is angry but he couldn't tolerate the fact that she went as far as suppressing Bethany with a work matter.
“I didn't pick on her. I was just worried about the company. After all,
She isn't an official employee of our company. If I let her read such important information about the company, what if she.....”
“Is that really what you think?” Zayn quickly interrupted her and started dagger at her.
Joanna was different to be stared at by him. It was as of the ugliest side of the heart could be seen through by his mere stares. She quickly turned her head away.
Zayn moved his eyes away as well..“ She is the foreign designer I hired, and she was also recommended by Mr. Down. If you suspect her this way, it's also correspondent to you doubting Mr. Down by and me. So, don't harbor any bad thoughts in your head or you will have to go back to your studio. You very well know how much I hate things like this happening”.
Hearing those words, Joanna was anxious.
She has always been afraid of this!.
She has gotten just a chance to work at the company and secure her position as the manager, if she were to return to the studio then, all of this would be lost in an instant.
Thinking of this, Joanna simply clenched her fists and said. “Alright, I won't pick on her again”.
In reality, she promised not to pick on her anymore. However, she can not guarantee that such would not happen in the future.
“Since you've understood, then do as you are told. Give her whatever information she needs in the future. I don't want any mishap of this form to happen in the future, “Zayn said indifferently.
Hearing this, Joanna was really upset, “Zayn, are you reing to handle ove Oceania project over to her? Although, she graduated from a good college, she isn't famous at all”.
Zayn picked up the cup of coffee on the table close to. him and took a sip from it, “This has got nothing to do with fame but capability. I've seen her works. it looks pretty decent. So, I gave her a chance. As long as she passes her first draft, the Oceania project will be handled by her”.
“First draft?”
When she heard these words, Joanna's eyes lit up with excitement.
This means that if Bethany screws up, Zayn would most definitely not hand over the Oceania project to her. I have to think of a way to make Bethany fail during her first draft test!. I won't give her a chance to linger around here for so long!
After getting back to the Design department, Joanna walked into the big office.
Upon getting to the workstations, she saw Bethany and Ella talking to each other happily, just then a glimmer of ideas flashed into her mind.
“Ella!” Joanna called out.
Hearing her name, Ella who was chatting with Bethany immediately stood up from her seat.
“Miss Joanna?”
“Come with me for a moment ”.
“Sure”
Ella immediately followed Joanna as they went out of sight.
A little while later, Ella returned to the big office and glanced at Bethany unapologetically.
Bethany did not notice this as she went ahead to pull out the chair for her, “What did Miss Joanna want you to do for her?” Bethany asked in an unsuspecting tone.
Ella's eyes flickered, “She simply asked me about the design draft that we worked on yesterday”.
“Oh! Is that so? I see”. Bethany nodded repeatedly.
Ella took her seat and asked, “Do you, and Miss Joanna have a grudge?”.
