“You don’t know?” Stunned, Annie told Cordelia with a serious face, “It’s about you and Mr. Jones. They say it’s as if he’s possessed that he kept giving you business. He was the one who pushed you to the supervisor’s position.”
Cordelia was stunned.
Now that she thought about it carefully, there seemed to be a rumor like that. Furthermore, Oliver was strange indeed. He gave the company five sales at once, and he asked for Cordelia exclusively.
With such outstanding performance, how could she not be promoted?
However…
“The projects I’m working on with Mr. Jones are win-win,” she mumbled. “It’s just that I don’t understand why he insisted on working with me.”
“He definitely values your capability!” Annie patted her shoulder. “Don’t overthink it. I’m guessing it was Karine who spread the rumor. She lost her power, and given that she’s not capable, she’s jealous of you!
“Don’t worry, Cordelia. We’ll support you. All you’ve got to do is to fight her with all you have to the very end!”
Cordelia smiled with gratitude. They shook hands.
However, she was well aware that there were many capable employees in the company. It was unnecessary that Oliver had to work with her. He had been approaching her lately, but his behavior did not seem shady.
Everything started from the time he saw her emerald ring.
Cordelia thought about it carefully. Every time Oliver texted her, he would always mention Marcus.
For instance, he would ask which gym Marcus was teaching boxing at. He said he wanted to work out lately and learn to box.
He would also casually ask how she and Marcus met. How they fell in love and how they got married…
He even said that he was passing by the office the other day and offered her a ride.
