"You're quite responsible." Gabriela looked at her and quirked her red lips.
"There are at least one hundred employees in the Dream Club, and if they all quarrel with each other like you, then our club should be closed. Well, from now on, you go to work in the cleaning department and you are no longer a receptionist.
Naturally, the club will arrange a new dormitory for you, so you won't see each other and it may avoid conflicts. What do you think?"
Stopping here, Gabriela stared straight at her, waiting for her reaction.
After all, receptionists usually were young girls while middle-aged women who were laid off served in the cleaning department and the work was dirty, tired and unpleasant.
Angela's expression didn't change much. She said nothing except " yes", which disappointed Gabriela a little. She raised her eyebrow and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Angela shook her head, "The jobs make no difference for me, as long as I can make a living. Besides, James gave the order personally, so my opinion is of no point, why do I upset him?"
Gabriela admired her personality, and after a pause she smiled frankly.
"Since you agree, then just pack up and report to your new post as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you, Gabriela."
As she watched Angela go back into the dorm, Gabriela stood in the hallway and thought about it, then she pulled her phone out of her bag and dialed a number.
The call was answered immediately.
"Hello?
What's the matter?"
"According to your instruction, she's been transferred to the cleaning department."
James was reading the file and paused when he heard Gabriela on the phone.
After a while, he whispered, "What's her reaction?"
"She accepted it calmly without making a scene."
"Really?" He frowned and rubbed his swollen temples.
"In that case, you can arrange more work for her. After all, she should be considered young in the cleaning department. She should claim more responsibilities."
Gabriela was stunned and said hesitantly, "Isn't it too harsh for her, James? After all, she's only a young girl..."
James didn't say anything. Gabriela realized she shouldn't be judgmental and changed the subject.
"By the way, the successor of QF Real Estate will hold his birthday party in the club next Monday, will you come?"
