Did I do a good job? Make persistent efforts?
Viola pinched her arm and tried to calm down. "Chief, this is definitely a trick, isn't it?"
Stephanie cast her a cold glance and said, "Are you doubting I was joking? Or are you suspecting that Maynard, the top of the pyramid, has some ulterior motives? "
A few moments later, Viola forced a smile and shook her head. "No, no, I'm thinking too much. But, chief editor, I'm a dumb, careless person. How about giving this opportunity to our colleagues?"
She really didn't want to see that man. It was so hard for her to escape. If she was caught by him again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Didn't you say that you would make amends for your previous faults by good deeds?" Stephanie's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "It's a chance. I wonder how lucky you were to interview him."
The smile on Viola's face froze. She glanced at her cautiously and said, "Chief editor, you see, I'm afraid that I will screw it up and deduct all my salary. If you change to another person, I won't get it."
She put her palms together and bowed to beg.
Zachary Zhang remained silent for two seconds. He felt touched and his face softened. "Then I'll call him to ask if you're waiting here."
Upon hearing the first half sentence, Viola smiled happily. When she heard the second half sentence, she felt her face was as cold as eggplant.
As soon as the line was connected, Viola saw that Stephanie turned around and asked in a friendly voice as if she had changed herself, "Mr. Chu, I'm afraid that she can't handle it well. I think she's in a dilemma. Would you like to change to another person?"
Viola picked up her ears and vaguely heard Simon said on the phone, "Let her answer the phone." She wanted to dig a hole on the ground and hide into it.
As Stephanie transferred it back to her, Viola kept her chin up and pretended that she hadn't heard anything.
"It's Mr. Chu. Please answer it." Said Stephanie, putting on a long face.
Viola looked at the microphone, as if she had felt the calling of a devil.
"Hurry up, Viola," Stephanie urged, gritting her teeth.
However, there was nothing Viola could do at that moment. She had no choice but to bite the bullet. She took the cellphone from Stephanie's hand and placed it by her ear. In a dry voice, she said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Chu."
Just as the words fell from her lips, a low, evil and attractive voice rang in her ears, "If you want to live in Y City, come here. Otherwise, the consequences are not something you can afford."
"Woman, you can't run away from me," came the other end of the line
Viola covered the speaker with her hand right away and raised her head pitifully. "Please say something nice for me, chief editor. I'm injured badly. I really can't take this task. What can I do?" "I'm also desperate."
