When they found out it was Serena, her colleagues weren’t really shocked. Even setting aside the fact that she was Siren, she’d already designed plenty of great work during her time at the company. She’d definitely earned this assistant team leader position.
“Alright, if no one has any objections, that’s settled then,” Keith said.
The moment Keith finished speaking, Nicole jumped in to object. “Mr. Brannon, I don’t think that’s the right way to evaluate this.”
The atmosphere had been pretty harmonious until her comment came out of nowhere, and everyone turned to stare at Nicole. She always loved being
the center of attention, so she crossed her arms and lifted her chin with obvious arrogance, a hint of disdain in her eyes.
“I know I just started today, but when it comes to qualifications and ability, I should be stronger than Serena, right?” Nicole sneered.
Serena stood there calmly, and when she heard this, she didn’t show any signs of anger.
Serena’s calm and composed attitude only made Nicole more furious. To her, it felt like Serena was mocking her confidence.
“So you think you’re more capable than Serena?” Keith didn’t show much reaction, just cut straight to the heart of what Nicole was saying.
“That’s right,” Nicole said with a cold snort. “If the deputy team leader can’t earn everyone’s respect, then even if she gets the position, it’s meaningless. It won’t do our team any good.”
Keith turned to look at Serena. “What do you think about this, Serena?”
Serena usually didn’t like getting into fights, but this was a matter of principle. She wasn’t about to give up something that rightfully belonged to her just
because she was afraid of conflict.
Her gaze was calm but carried a quiet determination. “I believe I’m qualified for this position. If Nicole thinks she’s better than me, we can have a
competition.”
Nicole hadn’t expected this. Serena had seemed like such a pushover, but now she was actually standing up to fight back.
Keith’s eyes showed a hint of approval. When it came to work, even though he had a better relationship with Serena, he wouldn’t play favorites.
The truth was, Nicole’s story was full of flaws. No matter how famous she might be compared to everyone else here, she was still new to the company and had no business being made assistant team leader.
But if they just brushed her off like this, it wouldn’t be good for Serena either.
“Since Serena already said that, Nicole, do you want to have a little competition with her?” Graham turned to look at Nicole. ‘This is going to be easy,‘ he
thought.
Keith knew Serena’s abilities better than anyone, so he was completely confident that even if she was up against Cole himself, Serena would definitely
win.
“Fine, let’s do it,” Nicole said, staring straight at Serena. She’d originally gotten famous on social media by copying “Siren’s” style, which was why so many people called her “Little Siren“.
Nicole didn’t get it. Siren had been silent for so long, which obviously meant she’d run out of talent and couldn’t create anything good anymore. ‘Why do I still have to live in that person’s shadow?‘ she thought.
‘Today I’m going to prove to everyone that Serena just got famous earlier than me. Her actual design skills are nowhere near as good as mine, Nicole thought.
“Alright, since both sides agreed, let’s do this competition right now,” Keith said, his expression unchanged. “If Nicole’s design is better than Serena’s, then the team leader position is yours.”
