As Jackson walked past her office desk, he purposefully tapped on it and said, “Hey, newbie, do your best.”
Holding back the urge to burst out laughing, Tiffany nodded and bowed, “I will, Mr. West. I’ll do my best!”
The corners of Jackson’s lips tilted upwards slightly. He walked into his office. Less than two minutes later, Tiffany received a text message from him: ‘How dare you address me as “Mr. West”.’
She replied to him with a “playful” emoji and put her phone into her bag. She was in the middle of working hours now, and it was inadvisable for her to be fiddling with her phone.
The environment in this big company was a stark contrast to her previously smaller company. Aside from its fast-paced environment, there wasn’t a lot of in-fighting at play.
Unbeknownst to her, the human resource manager had slipped into Jackson’s office. Jackson was in a particularly good mood and was smiling radiantly, “She doesn’t suspect anything, does she?”
The human resource manager quickly replied, “She asked, so she probably did, but I managed to ease her suspicions. The more disgruntled I was, the happier she seemed to be…”
Jackson nodded, “She probably won’t be able to figure it out. Good job. She’s your future lady boss, so you’d better take care of her. That’s all for today. Go back to work.”
The corners of the human resource manager’s lips twitched. Had anyone ever spoken so derisively about their own girlfriend? However, he was too afraid to speak up. He mumbled a reply and promptly left.
Jackson pulled out his phone and sent out a message: ‘Get rid of that tiny, insignificant company in three days.’
His temper would rise every time he thought of Tiffany’s weeping face. Those who had wronged his woman would have to pay the price. A tiny little company didn’t amount to anything much anyway; there was nothing wrong with giving them an early send-off.
At noon, everyone in the office went off for lunch. Tiffany secretly slipped into Jackson’s office, “Mr. West… What shall we have for lunch? Something from the cafeteria? Or shall we go out? Wanna have lunch together?”
Jackson shot her an indulgent look, “Stop enticing me.”
