Without replying to Victor's message, Melinda did her job conscientiously as usual, but she paid more attention to the management of documents.
She also needed to know why the draft was the same.
There was an unscheduled meeting in the afternoon of the department, and it was Victor who was in charge. Everyone knew that the temporary meeting was held because of Melinda. As for the reason, it was hard to figure out.
Melinda was the latest one to walk into the meeting room. There were still three minutes before the meeting time. Victor sat at the head of the conference table and looked at the crowd. Melinda lowered her head with a disheveled look.
Three minutes later, the meeting began. Victor stated the opening remarks as usual. Melinda took a signature pen and scribbled on the paper.
"I believe that many people have heard the rumor recently, but I believe in Melinda. As her colleague, I also hope that everyone can give her trust. In addition, if I find that someone is discussing something related to the company during work time, I will just fire him or her!"
His tone was as gentle as the peacemaker in the front, but his following words sounded serious.
Victor's attitude remained the same as before to see if anyone dared to challenge him.
Melinda was also shocked to see that the man who had just said serious words now smile to her gently.
After a while, the meeting had come to an end and there was no need for the meeting to go on. Victor directly asked his assistant to dismiss the meeting. After he left, the meeting room was in an uproar.
But all of them were talking wildly on wechat.
After packing her personal belongings, Melinda looked down at the A4 paper on the table. She didn't know when, a person's name was wrote on the paper.
She crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can in a guilty conscience. Then Melinda became the third person to walk out of the meeting room after Victor and his assistant.
"I've long felt that something must have happened between them. Now it seems to be true, otherwise, Mr. Cheng would not still defend her like this at this time. Doesn't he worry that his behavior will break the hearts of other employees?"
one of the employees said angrily, while the others echoed her words, firmly believing that the relationship between Melinda and Victor was shameful.
However, they all ignored one thing that Melinda was also in this group, where there were a lot of worse comments than before.
Looking at the messages in the wechat group, Melinda gave a weird smile.
After thinking for a while, Melinda came to the end of the corridor, where there was an office that had occupied half of the floor, which was Victor's office.
The door was opened, and Melinda walked in, only to see several assistants busy with their work. They had the same attitude as before, and they were still the same.
"Mel, are you here for Mr. Cheng? Let me help you tell him."
While saying, the secretary dialed a number. As soon as the door was opened, Melinda walked into the office. Immediately, she saw Victor still sitting on the sofa, on which there were a lot of food.
Melinda was not like his subordinate, but a friend.
"Mr. Cheng."
Melinda didn't sit down on the sofa. She just stood at 1.5 meters away from the sofa and said politely. Obviously, Victor was a little unhappy with her attitude, but he didn't say anything more. He pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Have a seat."
"No, I just want to say something," Melinda refused with a smile, her bright eyes full of alienation.
"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Cheng," Melinda said as she took a slight bow. She was grateful to Victor for his trust and protection, but it didn't mean that she was unwilling to accept his kind offer.
Raising his eyebrows, Victor looked at her, wondering what she was going to do. He wasn't stupid enough to think that Melinda came here for this.
"I just thanked you as a friend. Now as a subordinate, I don't think Mr. Cheng should do this for me." Melinda seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Her tone was still neither hasty nor slow, as if the person sitting opposite to her was only an old friend. They were not discussing something important, but ordinary greetings.
"Mr. Cheng, you are the superior of our company. Your choice depends on your mood, but have you ever thought that it will only make things worse, and... It will have an opposite result."
Instantly, Melinda became harsh and her tone was with a touch of seriousness. She had no qualms of guilt, but such an announcement made by Victor made those people more righteous to criticize her, And this behavior would make people felt that she was guilty.
"Who the hell dare continue to discuss this thing? I'll fire him immediately. I am not joking." All of a sudden, Victor stood up and clapped his hands against the coffee table, making a loud noise. The staff outside looked at each other, confused.
Mr. Cheng hadn't lost his temper for a long time. What did Melinda do to make him so angry?
Melinda was also shocked by his anger, but she reacted quickly and said, "I'm just talking about it. Mr. Cheng, you have to think about it from different angles. I remember that you always say that."
Victor was so angry that Melinda's pacifying words and her formulaic smile on her face made him uncomfortable.
