A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 52

Alina left the hospital and headed straight for the Imperial Landscape's design department.

Mike's accident had been a while ago. Alina hadn't returned to the office for a long time. She noticed there were some changes to the department's appearance. 

The office now looked bright and inviting with sunlight streaming in through large windows. The place was also decorated with tiny flags.  

Alina broke out in a smile. The decorations must have been put up to welcome the new design director. Rosie mentioned that the new director was pleasant and easygoing. In the future, they wouldn't have to suffer under a boss like Hall anymore. 

Alina entered the design department with light steps. 

There was a round of applause as she entered. 

Before she could take it in, Rosie rushed out excitedly and gave her a bear hug.

"Let's welcome our new team leader of the design department!" she exclaimed loudly over the racket.

"Hip, hip, hurray! Welcome back!" There was another round of loud cheers and applause.

Alina was struck dumb by Rosie's words. Team leader? What's going on?

Just as she was about to ask, Rosie took out a piece of red paper that looked like a formal letter of appointment. She spread it out carefully and read clearly, "This is a letter of appointment from the Adams Group. Miss Alina Miller is promoted to team leader of the Imperial Landscapes' design department. Look, this is Mr. Harry's signature, the president of Adams Group. His handwriting is so fine and elegant! Isn't this so cool?" 

Alina frowned slightly and looked at Rosie. "What in the world happened?"

Rosie raised her chin and said proudly, "Your talent in design has finally been acknowledged! Did you know? Your design plan was so impressive that the headquarters decided to archive it! I didn't tell you on the phone because I wanted to give you a surprise!"

Upon hearing Rosie's words, a smile appeared on Alina's face. She took the letter from Rosie's hands and saw her name printed on it in large letters. She was filled with happiness!

As Alina was promoted, she promised to treat everyone in the department to a celebratory meal when she received her salary. Cheers erupted from the crowd and requests to eat at Modern barbecue again rang out. Alina couldn't help but laugh. The barbecue was really addictive!

After the pandemonium died down, the office returned to its orderly and quiet state. Everyone went back to their own tasks. 

Rosie and Jenny accompanied Alina to the nursery department to discuss the matter of plant transplantation into the construction site. 

The progress was much smoother than she had expected. Alina thought that the nursery department had deliberately made it difficult for Rosie to work with them. Even if she were to go, she would have to spend a lot of time arguing with them.

However, the people working in the nursery department didn't make things difficult for her at all. As soon as Alina explained the purpose of her visit, they were very polite and agreed to send the green plants for transplantation into the site. 

The schedule for transplantation was finalized tomorrow at noon. Winter was coming soon and the weather had gradually turned chilly. At noon, the temperature would be slightly higher which was better for the plants' survival. With the addition of nutrient fluids, the plants would not wilt after transplantation.

Walking out of the nursery department, Rosie hugged Alina and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Alina's the best! As long as she's here, we can handle anything. The director of the nursery department was really accommodating as well!" 

Alina laughed. "Maybe you are unfamiliar to them, they couldn't recognise you!"

"Oh, really? I joined the company on the same day as you! How could they not know me but recognise you?"

Alina was amused by Rosie words and chuckled. 

Jenny giggled as well.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the design department.

...

In the Scott Group's president's office.

Simon held a folder and was reporting Wilson's work schedule.

"Mr. Wilson, Mr. Walter is urging us to send the money. He had inquired when our funds would arrive."

Wilson curled his lips and sneered. "Tell him that I am very busy. However, I will fulfil my promise to send the funds if everything goes well."

Simon replied with a smile, "Understood. When the deadline is up, I will give Mr. Walter a shocking surprise, making it impossible for Williams Group to make a comeback! Besides this, Clara came to the company every day, dressed up in her most fashionable clothing to meet you. The reception counter was informed to keep her out. In addition, Mr. Jayden wanted to report that recently, Clara and Colton had been frequently meeting up in private. He asked me to remind you that they may be plotting something." 

Wilson smirked. "Leak the news to Colton's girlfriend. By the way, what's her name? Is she from the Cooper Family?"

"Yes, her name is Selma Cooper. She is the fourth daughter of the Cooper Family. I've heard that she was not favoured upon in the family before this. However, since she became Colton's girlfriend, her status has risen in her family." Simon added.

Wilson snorted coldly. He could not stand to imagine these snobbish faces.

Simon continued to report. "Mr. Harry and Miss Monica will be inspecting the steel plant this afternoon. They have also invited you to visit the Adams Family's project site tomorrow. I've already declined the invitation."

"Which project?" Wilson raised his head.

"It's the project by Imperial Landscapes."
