Chapter 631
"As long as Deluxe International had not decided on their collaborating party, we still stand a chance, otherwise, we would continue to be at a loss and soon pack out bags and go home! Maribel, didn't you meet Mister Kingsley from Deluxe International before? Could you do something..."
Maribel was reluctant when she heard that she had to meet Mister Kingsley.
Mister Kingsley was an old pervert and did not really seem to have any actual power or authority.
The final say on who to collaborate with was still with the daughter of the Kingsley family.
Her gaze intentionally swept past Catelyn's pretty face and winked at her sadly. "I don't have a good relationship with Mister Kingsley. Perhaps Miss Clark should go. The headquarters value her very much, so she must be capable!"
Other senior management looked to Catelyn.
"I think Miss Lionel is right."
"Miss Clark is young and capable, she was promoted to the Director position at the age of twenty-five. This indicates that she has a wide network..."
"Miss Clark, please agree to this. We are now dependent on you."
"We had all asked to see Mister Kingsley before, but he did not want to see any of US. Miss Clark is the only person that had not seen him before, she must give it a go..."
The senior managers all joined the conversation and flattered Catelyn.
Catelyn remembered Donald Kingsley, whom she had met at the Riverdale Restaurant, when hearing them talking about Mister Kingsley. He was one of the Kingleys, perhaps if he was willing to lend her a hand so she may be able to meet with one of them.
Hunter was happy to get someone accountable for this. "Miss Clark, so do we agree to this?"
Jolene was sitting next to her, taking notes of the meeting.
She saw that no one dared to take over this difficult task and nudged Catelyn with her elbow, hinting that she should not take it too.
"Wait a moment," she interjected.
Hunter looked displeased. Maribel responded before he could, " Miss Clark, are you not willing to? You are the new director.
Everyone thought very highly of you."
Jolene explained on Catelyn's behalf, "Miss Clark had been under the weather recently."
"We are discussing. Don't you interject, you little assistant." Maribel glared at Jolene through the corner of her eyes. "What an arrogant little assistant from Franche, who has no respect for whoever pays your wages!"
"I could fight for the collaboration with Deluxe International," Catelyn said with a firm gaze.
Maribel was stunned at first. Then she was amused.
Fight for?
They could not even meet Mister Kingsley of Deluxe International. Did she want to fight for the collaboration opportunity?
She would be keen to see how this Design Director fails!
Maribel was unsure how Catelyn managed to convince the headquarters to be appointed as the Design Director, causing Maribel to go down a rank.
Usually, a direct appointment by the headquarters would only happen for the CEO position.
