A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Villain

“From today onward, Stella will be the new leader of the First Planning Department, everyone. Mr. Adler has a very high regard for Stella’s professional abilities, so he has recommended Stella to take his position after he was promoted to planning director. The official letter of appointment has been approved, so I hope everyone can give her a warm welcome.”

The deputy general manager of their branch company announced Stella’s promotion enthusiastically. Beside him, Stella’s makeup was elegant and beautiful; as she smiled politely in front of Diane, the latter tensed up and almost went stiff as a rock.

NG Enterprise was quite a large scale listed company, and Diane worked in the planning department along with Norman and Stella. Norman used to be the leader for the Second Planning Department, whereas Stella and her were both regular employees in the First Planning Department.

Just half a year ago, Norman was commended by the company for his outstanding performance. With that, he was promoted to planning director back in the headquarters. Unexpectedly, he’d successfully helped Stella to become a team leader in their branch company before he even barely settled into his new position.

More importantly, Stella was now Diane’s direct supervisor—from the looks of it, Diane’s days to come would be quite unpleasant.

Around her, applause of flattery from the other staff members erupted excitedly. Stella stood up tall and patted her protruding belly as she stared at Diane like a triumphant general who had just won a war.

Soon, Diane finally put her hands together and clapped along as she wore a stiff smile.

“All right—since it’s Monday, I know that everyone is busy with work. We’re all quite familiar with each other already, so I don’t have much to say. In short, let’s work hard together from now on and boost the performance of our department. I’ll be sure to allocate extra bonuses for all of you at the end of the year.”

Stella was eloquent, and another round of applause sounded in the office after she concluded her speech. When the clapping died down, she looked toward Diane with a smile.

“The supervisor’s office has been empty for some time now, plus I’m not in good shape to move around at the moment. Could you bring some water and mop my office, Diane?”

Right now, Stella was the leader whereas Diane was just a regular staff member under her supervision. How could she say no?

Moreover, the deputy general manager was looking right at her.

Diane could only bite the bullet; she forced a smile at Stella and said, “Of course.”

“Thanks a lot.”

With that, Stella turned around pretentiously and went over to say a few words to the deputy general manager before heading into her new office.

Meanwhile, Diane went to the storage room before going to the supervisor’s office with a bucket and a mop. Inside, Stella was standing by the desk with a hand rested on the edge and another on her belly. She looked at Diane with a face full of arrogance and mockery.

“Sorry about this, Diane. You know that I’m a clean freak, so please mop the floor clean, okay? Oh, wipe the desk and chairs as well; exposure to dust is bad for the baby.”
