“Let’s go.” Alice picked up her thing and walked out of the meeting room.
In the meeting room, Rachel said, “It has just been several days since we work here. Now she has an order. I’m afraid that it is Mr. Nelson who helps her get the order.”
After that, Rachel crossed her arms across her chest and sneered. She said, “She is just a sugar baby and has no ability to be a leader. However, she is still ordering us about.”
No one responded to Rachel. She felt embarrassed and then she looked around the crowd.
“Don’t you think so?”
Noah smiled and said, “If I were powerful and rich, I would give everything to a woman who is as beautiful as Alice.”
“You! Shame on you! I can’t believe you will fall in love with a woman like Alice! She must have been dated many guys!”
Ada closed the folder and looked at Rachel. She said helplessly, “Rachel, I find that you have been unhappy in the company these days. Maybe you can choose to leave.”
Hearing her words, Rachel stared at her and said, “What do you mean? Are you trying to drive me away? Ada, it’s my own business!”
Ada held her cheeks and sighed heavily.
“I know that it’s none of my business. But you have always complained and the company in front of all of us. We have been paid the salary in advance. Now you complain about it, why didn’t you refuse to receive the salary when you were paid?”
“I...”
“Ada, you are wrong. When Megan came to us, she didn’t tell us that our boss will be such a young woman.” Chloe, who was not far from Hugo, began to talk for Rachel.
When Ada heard her words, she raised her eyebrow and said, “No matter who our boss is, we are the workers of this company. Since we are paid, we should be responsible for our works. I believe you understand it as an adult.”
Chloe stood up and said, “What do you mean? Do you want to blame us for being irresponsible?”
Ada just smiled faintly at her words.
“That’s not what I meant. Don’t be so fierce. You’re a lady!”
As she said, Ada took a look at Hugo who was not far away from her.
Then Chloe suddenly realized that Hugo was still in the meeting room. She had been overacted just now.
Her face changed and she instantly sat down.
At this moment. Hugo picked up the document and went out of the meeting room with a cold expression.
“Hugo!” Chloe stood up quickly and wanted to catch him up, but Hugo ignored her. Then she sat down in depression and glared at Ada.
“Why do you glare at me?”
“It’s all your fault. Hugo ignored me just now.”
Hearing her words, Ada sneered and said, “He always ignores you.”
“Ada!”
“Chloe, don’t talk to her now.” Rachel went to Chloe with her document and said, “Don’t waste your time on her. She is not our ally. Just let her go.”
It seemed that they found common ground. Then they left the meeting room together.
There were only Noah and Ada left in the meeting room. Noah stared at Ada with a meaningful smile.
“You were awesome just now. When I look closer at you, I find that you have a pretty face. Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?”
Ada was disgusted with what he said. But soon she thought of something, and then nodded and said, “Okay.”
Noah looked at her and smiled.
