"Moreover, both of you aren't even on the same level. Do you really think you're that charismatic?"
Raina ignored their sarcastic remarks and threw the lunch plate into the bin before walking over toward the other secretaries. "You'll all be the first ones I fire if I manage to succeed." She had always disliked people who talked behind her back.
Hearing that, the other secretaries didn't feel threatened but instead laughed. "You should pray hard that you won't be fired." Normally, people with such intentions wouldn't last till the next day. Hanson hadn't had the time to take care of it yet since Vania was in the office.
"That's impossible!" Raina laughed arrogantly upon hearing that. She looked at them with contempt as she thought she wouldn't be sacked easily, given her family background.
Khan Enterprise was considered one of the most prominent enterprises within Hammond. On top of that, her father had carried out numerous collaborations with Luke Corporation. If corporate efficiency was taken into consideration, she assumed that Hanson wouldn't have sacked her no matter the mistakes she had made. Her dated thoughts were still stuck at the time in which collaborations were paramount to businesses. She hadn't considered the fact that Hanson didn't really care about the collaboration with her father's company at all.
Furthermore, those secretaries had already done a background check on Raina and found out that she was the daughter of the Khan Family who ran Khan Enterprise. To them, she wasn't a big shot, and they found the sight of her behaving so haughtily hilarious.
"We shall look forward to it, then," one of the secretaries ridiculed. "Why don't all of us make a bet about how long we think she will stay?"
At that, one of them chimed in, "I think it'll be by the end of today."
"By the end of the day? Don't you think that you're being too generous? Do you think that she could stay that long? I bet her time will be up soon."
"When exactly is that? You should give a specific time." All of the secretaries gathered together as they chatted about their speculation on the exact time when Raina would be dismissed, making fun of her.
Seeing that really made Raina's blood boil. She walked up to them and tore the paper they had used for jotting down their speculations into pieces. "What are you doing?" Everyone looked at her with disbelief for having the guts to lash out at them.
"All of you better pray for yourselves, too. Don't forget that I'm the daughter of the Khan Family. It would be effortless for me to deal with employees like you even if I was sacked." She scorned and crossed her arms in front of her chest as she looked at them with contempt. Do you think you're that great? All of you are just working as secretaries. You should spend your free time thinking about finding a backing so that you can keep your job if anything happens.
However, the secretaries didn't seem to feel threatened by her words and dismissed her since they believed that Khan Enterprise wasn't powerful enough to meddle in Luke Corporation's business.
"Hmph." The secretaries scoffed and left without arguing with her anymore.
Raina looked at them with disdain and thought, So much for those big talks.
…
Meanwhile, in the office, Hanson was sitting on his chair obediently as he enjoyed being fed by Vania.
"Darling, I want more." It was by far the best lunch he ever had at his company, and he thought that it would be perfect if he could get such a treatment every day.
"Alright, alright."
