Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 14

Allison finally managed to make it to the company at the last minute of working time and registered herself through the fingerprinting system. She had at least made sure she would get the two hundred yuan, the full attendance bonus this month.

She lied down on her desk and puffed softly. She initially thought she would be seen, yet who knew Alexander always had his own private passage with no one around at all. Because of this, she could be worry-free to board his car in the future and she was quite excited about it. As she was feeling pleased for her luck, the department meeting commenced. She carried her laptop and quickly found herself a place at the corner of the meeting room.

The administrative department of the Parker Group was very large with a total of fifty and more workers cooperating with the work from every department. The content of the meeting was all about paying attention to daily appearance and manner, working time, staying punctual and do not leave early as usual, which made people slightly sleepy. Yet it was at this time, Irene, the supervisor of the administrative department, suddenly called out Allison’s name.

Everyone became energetic once more and all of them looked towards Allison. Allison was in a daze yet she could not help but stand up obediently. “From now on, Allison Gibson would be promoted to administrative assistant.” Irene clapped after she finished her words. Although everyone was baffled, they also clapped accordingly. The meeting was then dismissed.

Allison who was the one involved was in a state of confusion. She then quickly followed Irene and asked, “Irene, what’s going on? Did, did I get promoted?” Irene glimpsed at her and replied with an expressionless face. “I only received the notification from the human resource department this morning. As for why, I don’t know either.” She walked away after she finished.

Allison instantly became a hot topic for discussion in the department. The Parker Group had a set of strict rules regarding promotion. Interns must fulfill three months of internship and pass both the exams and interviews in order to become formal workers in the Parker Group. Whilst ordinary workers who wanted to be promoted to assistant must fulfill three years of work and get tested by the supervisor before they could get promoted. Allison had only worked for two years therefore she was not eligible in terms of working time. Therefore her promotion was greatly questioned by her colleagues.
