Chapter 89 The Great Boss
Sophie put her phone in speaker mode and stretched out before doing a split in the living room.
“Haven’t we foreseen all of this, Ms. Lineker? You’ll have a lot more to do in the upcoming days. Once we get past this stretch, you and the team will be sent to holiday abroad.”
They have been highly strung of late. It’s about time they relaxed.
“Please take me under your wing, Ms. Sophie.”
At that moment, Wilma felt so content and spoiled.
How generous of Ms. Sophie to give us a holiday abroad.
“Is there anywhere you would like to go? Tell me if there is, and I will make the arrangements for you.”
“Sure.”
Wilma accepted the gesture graciously. As her team had been fraught with worry over the launch, she naturally leaped at the opportunity to take them out for a break.
“Is there a budget?” she added as an afterthought.
Transfix Cosmetics has been making a loss until yesterday, after all. Though we have had an explosive start, it wouldn’t do to go overboard.
“There is no limit.”
Since I have made them that offer, I’m more than happy to pay for everything.
On the other end, Wilma covered her phone to seek suggestions from the rest.
“Ms. Sophie wants to treat us to a trip abroad, girls. Is there any place you have in mind?”
“What? All expenses covered?”
“I haven’t misheard, have I? Is it a holiday oversea?”
“Excellent! Let’s go to Jinrich Island!”
“Jinrich Island it is, then!”
“Would Jinrich Island be too expensive, though? We aren’t exactly raking in the profits yet.” Wilma felt the need to modulate their excitement.
“You’re right. Why don’t we go to Jinrich Island after Transfix Cosmetics makes big money?”
“Ms. Lineker.”
Wilma removed her hand at Sophie’s voice.
“I’d heard your conversation. Just go to Jinrich Island.”
“Ms. Sophie-”
“Hang on a couple more days. Leave the arrangements for the trip to me.”
“I can do it, Ms. Sophie. There is no need for you to do it personally.” Ms. Sophie is a busy woman with classes to attend.
“It’s no problem. I can easily book the tickets and hotel rooms online. We’ll talk soon as I have to head to school.”
“All right, Ms. Tanner. Talk to you later.”
Wilma hung up and gazed at the faces alight with excitement.
“How did it go?”
“We’re going to Jinrich Island,” Wilma announced with a smile.
I’m grateful to have chosen the right employer. Though Ms. Sophie may look cold, she is kind to those loyal to her.
“We’re going to Jinrich Island!”
“We are! It’s a pleasure to go on holiday with all of you.”
Gazing at the group’s excitement, Wilma felt that all their hard work was worth it.
Cecelia heard the news of Transfix Cosmetics’ company trip to Jinrich Island and gazed at Sophie glumly.
“I played a part in Transfix Cosmetics’ success too, Sophie! If your staff can go on holiday, what about me?”
Sophie gazed at her.
“Haven’t you been to Jinrich Island many times before?”
“So what if I have? Are you that reluctant to part with your money?”
“Fine, you can come too.”
Cecelia was satisfied. “That’s better.”
Meanwhile, Ysabelle also caught wind of the trip to Jinrich Island and gazed at Sophie with large, expectant eyes.
After being subjected to such intense scrutiny for half an hour, Sophie could not bear it any longer.
