Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 27

After getting the task document, Allison firstly contacted the vendors that had a partnership with the company before and made an appointment to meet with them. Next, she prepared to move her things to the office.

When she was packing up her things, all her colleagues cast speculative glances at her and some of them even had no qualms to gather and discuss something.

“Anyone knows who she is? I heard that the intern she brought in, Renata was apparently fired because Renata offended her, what a pity!”

“Really? No wonder I haven’t seen Renata in the past few days.”

“…”

All sorts of voices of discussions entered Allison’s ears. She frowned, quickly packed up her things and walked towards her office while carrying the cardboard box.

She knew that her promotion was really not in line with the system of the company. It was not possible for her to gag others now, the only thing she could do was to do her job seriously.

Thinking of this, Allison was full of motivation. She took the task document and read it again. Then, she planned to go out to meet the vendors to discuss the matters about ordering goods.

It was stated on the document that two department employees could be chosen to go out to execute the task together with her. However, unexpectedly, after she arrived at the office area and made the announcement, no one was willing to go with her.

Seeing no response, Allison took a breath and continued to ask, “Is there anyone who has a leisurely task today, go out with me and we’ll come back very soon.”

The people in the public office area kept their heads down and were busy with their own work, as if they had not heard her. The atmosphere was immensely awkward.

Seeing that nobody was really responding, Allison took a deep breath. She directly walked to a colleague and said softly, “Olivia, will you go with me?”

Olivia was the most helpful girl in the department and she had a good relationship with Allison before. Now, under such circumstances, Allison could only ask for Olivia’s assistance.

Olivia slightly hesitated and when she was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from the side, “Olivia, have you done the report I asked you to organize? I need it badly!”

Allison looked at the direction the voice came from and saw that Monica was walking towards them.

When Olivia heard this, she immediately spoke, “Monica, I’ve not done it yet, I’ll continue to do it now.”

As she said, she looked at Allison apologetically, “I’m sorry, Alice, I haven’t finished my work yet.”

Hearing this, Allison said softly, “It’s okay, you just go and continue with your work.”

Monica came over and asked, “Alice, what’s wrong? Are you looking for someone to go out to execute the task with you?”

Allison nodded, “Yeah, I’m afraid I can’t handle it alone.”

Hearing her say so, Monica burst out laughing, “Alice, you’re now not the clerk as in before but an administrative assistant. These tasks should be done even if you do it only by yourself. Moreover, everyone is so busy; you still want others to stop their own work to help you?”

Her voice was loud enough to be clearly heard by the colleagues around. Some of the gloating people even let out a chuckle and they were waiting to see Allison’s be embarrassed.

Allison’s cheeks burned in embarrassment when she was told such words in front of the crowd.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, “Monica, you’re right, I’ll go now.”

Finished speaking, she turned and directly walked out of the administration department.

Although she was merely a clerk before, she was also certain that going out to order goods in the list was a task that was usually done by two or three people. But since nobody was willing to go with her this time, she had to complete the task on her own.
