"Nellie, if you have anything to say, just go ahead. My ears don't work well. I'm afraid I won't be able to hear what you're saying. Isn't that a waste of your time?" I looked at Nellie and smiled.
Nellie directly walked up to me without any fear. "Miss Rachael, Rich's most basic rule is to go to work on time. I feel that as a leader, you should set a good example for us instead of doing whatever you want and treat the company as your home because someone backs you up!"
I leisurely crossed my arms and looked at Nellie with a smile. "Nellie, I think you need to test your ears as well as your intelligence!"
Nellie's expression instantly changed. "Miss Rachael, I know that you are now in a high position and have become different from us. But you can't insult me like this!"
I took a step closer and shouted, "First of all, you said that I couldn't run wild in the company just because someone backed me up. I think you're mistaken. I get this position because of Kieran's and his grandma's backing. Or do you think I have a talent or some other skill? No. In your words, I rode on Kieran's coattails. Do you think I still need to obey these shit rules and regulations? Or did you not hear what Madame Charles said that day? Kieran leaves Rich to me for fun. If I ruin it, I'll just change to another company. Do you think I need to follow the rules and regulations?"
"Second, when Everly was in charge of Rich, you didn't blame her for being late for work. Are you discriminating against me, or did you get a benefit from Everly?"
"Ms. Everly was late because she had something to do!" Nellie explained.
...
I suddenly patted my desk heavily. "You said that Everly came late because she had something to do. Was she always kept by business? Besides, how are you so sure and clear? Did she report it to you in advance or explain to you afterwards every time?"
"I ... I believe in Ms. Everly!" Nellie stuttered!
I sneered. "Then do you mean you don't believe in me? You mean I won't be late because of business. Instead, I'm with Kieran!"
Nellie's expression suddenly changed. Since Kieran got involved, she didn't dare to speak randomly.
I sneered. "Nellie, let me tell you, Kieran never gets up so late!"
Nellie's expression turned pale and she got stuck for words. But her eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Of course...." I deliberately shouted loudly so that everyone present could hear me. "Even if I'm with Kieran, if you don't like it, you can just resign. Who do you think will keep you? Or do you think Rich won't be able to function without you? Don't overestimate yourself. Many people outside want to enter Rich. None of you is important!"
The employees who were watching the show hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to continue being onlookers, fearing that they would be implicated.
"Let me put it in this way. I get this position by pulling strings and selling myself. I'm not capable, nor do I have any professional skill like you. But I'm still sober enough to distinguish between the good from the bad. If you gossip, take delight in watching other's misfortune, and you even need someone else to set an example when to work, I will definitely send you away. I won't keep you for half a second. But if you contribute to Rich and have your own talent, I will not make things difficult for you. You will be promoted and get a rise. I hope everyone can remember what I have said. I won't be this tolerant again. Alright, go back to work!" I turned around and didn't look at Nellie anymore.
"By the way, Nellie, don't you know how I seduce Kieran? Sorry to disappoint you. I was kept by the business. I just brought the sample of the R&C, so you'd better not be biased against me like Everly. Otherwise, you'll end up like her!" I shook the finished product in my hand at Nellie and closed the door without looking at Nellie's pale face.
But the moment I entered the office, I was depressed. I saw a thick pile of documents on the desk. I didn't know where or how to start. Many documents were in English. I couldn't understand them!
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
