"Mr.....Mr.Smith..."
After being hit by Ann, Preston took two steps back to stabilize himself.
When he heard Ann's voice, he lowered his head and frowned.He pulled Ann away.
Ann realized that she was in trouble and quickly bowed.
"Mr.Smith, I'm sorry!" Preston looked at her bent waist, his frowning brows loosening.
"It's okay.Be careful.Don't run”
Hearing that, Ann bit her lips and lowered her head.
"I see." Preston turned and left.
Ann was still standing there.She stood up straight and looked at the departing figure with her hands clenched.
"Mr.Smith, I didn't mean it."
"I'm sorry"
Olivia walked out and saw Ann standing at the end of the line, not knowing what she was looking at.She was not even moving.She walked over.
"Ann"
Ann heard Olivia's voice and stiffened.Then she turned around and looked at Olivia.
"Olivia, I…” Olivia said to her, "Shall we talk?"
Ann looked at her gentle eyes and nodded.
They went to the tea room.
Olivia made two cups of coffee, sat on the stool, and stared at her.
Ann held the coffee with her head lowered.She was down.
Olivia said first, "I haven't known you for long, but in my eyes, you are a hardworking girl."
"There are many people in this world, but few of them can be successful.Do you know why?"
Ann looked up and shook her head.
Olivia said, "Diligence and hard work are necessary.You need to keep moving forward step by step."
"There are very few people who can fulfill those requirements, so there are naturally fewer successful people."
The reason why great people were great was that they worked much harder than ordinary people.
For example, in terms of working hard, successful people worked 100% hard or even more while ordinary people only worked 10% hard.
How could such people not succeed? Olivia curved her lips.
"Of course, that's my understanding"
"You are diligent and hardworking.I have never been worry about your work, except for one thing"
Ann tightened her grip on the coffee.
"You're impatient" Olivia looked into Ann's eyes.Her clear eyes were like a mirror, and Ann could not hide anything from her.
"I understand and support that if you want to be a designer, and you want a promotion"
"But these take time.You need to learn and accumulate, and you're not going to have whatever you want immediately"
"Do you understand?" Ann lowered her head in shame.She understood.
How could she not understand? She wouldn't have been in such a hurry before Grace came here.
But ever since Grace came, she was anxious.
She worried.
She scared.
She was afraid that what she did was not as good as Grace, that she was not liked by Olivia, that her chance to climb up was replaced by someone else.
She was scared.
Olivia held Ann's hand.Her voice was gentle.
"Be patient.Take your time.Finish your work with a humble heart, and the god of luck will bless you."
Ann looked at Olivia with tears in her eyes.
"Olivia..." Grace was completely unaware of the conversation between Olivia and Ann.
