President's Naughty Sweetheart novel Chapter 17

Heard this, Ella felt uneasy. She guessed it may be about retouching pictures thing.

After getting in the director's office, she saw Daniel sitting before the computer and processing the English emails. Daniel looked up at Ella, and said coldly, "Do you know why I called you?"

"Yes." Ella nodded.

"Why?"

She answered with a sincere voice, "I should have asked for leave in advance when I got sick, and should've worked on the retouching pictures thing before leaving."

Daniel leaned back on his chair with keeping typing, and said to her coldly, "Aren't you understand that your irresponsibility influenced other designers' work? Whether you get sick or nor, you need to finish your work! The clients won't care about your personal issues, what they care about is whether we have acted according to the contract. Any reason is an excuse unless you're dead or stop working in the Hill Group. Do you understand?"

Not expecting he would be so cold as a director in such a big company, Ella felt disappointed.

But she must obey him since she is working here. Ella answered, "Yes."

"Go out to work. I don't care if you work overtime, you have to finish all the work assigned to you every day." Daniel looked away from her and continued to work.

Ella assured him again and left the office.

She's still sick now and should rest at home. But there is no way.

Back to her seat soon, she heard Assistant Shaw said to the public, "Guys, don't forget to attend the meeting on time this afternoon."

Designers started their another busy day.

Ella opened her Apple desktop. The Hill Group allocated every designer the top-level computer. It's said that all the computers are custom made by the Apple company.

Ella's computer is also the top-leveled although she is just responsible for retouching pictures. Because the design picture must be uniform in color. This showed the most basic attitude of being professional.

Ella is fast on doing the retouching pictures since she practiced when was in school.

Just having eaten a sandwich, she kept working without taking a rest. She finished all ten pictures at six o' clock in the afternoon.

She texted the designer "Hi, the ten pictures are done. Sorry for what happened before. I promise it would not happen again."

About half an hour late, the designer replied "Pay more attention next time."

Ella relieved after seeing the reply. She believed the designer have seen the pictures she edited. Since he didn't mention anything on them, then they must be ok.

She thought she would be assigned by other designers. It turned to be nobody giving her assignments even five minutes before getting off work.

Ella have gotten really tired now. She bought the medicine when buying the sandwich at noon. She felt quite sleepy after take the medicine. But she kept working after drinking two cups of coffee.

At six, she began to pack and was going to leave.

At this time, her colleague Sofia wearing a blue chiffon dress came over, and said to her with a smile, "Ella, do you have plans after work? How about go shopping with me?"

Ella shook her head, and replied, "Oh, I am sorry I can't. I want to go home to rest. I am sick."

"Ah, you are sick? Then why you still come to work!"

"I have no choice. The unfinished pictures need to be done." Ella's face showed reluctance.

Sofia now noticed her face. "Oh, dear, you look really bad now, just go back as soon as possible."

Ella said goodbye to her and went to take the elevator.

There are other colleagues in the elevator chatting beside her. Ella stood at the corner with no expression on her face.

She knocked on the door of the president's office with carrying two boxes of meal.

Aiden looked up at the door and chose to leave his desk first.

He went to the leather sofa and sat on it, then said, "Come in."

Ella went in and quickly put the meal on the tea table. Then she was going to leave.

"Stop." He asked with a cold and unpleasant tone.

She sighed and replied, "God, could you please leave me alone since I am sick now? I am really tired and sleepy. I don't want to argue with you or provide you special service. Could you just eat your meal?"

Aiden stared at her and noticed her face was abnormally pale. Therefore, he took out chopsticks from the box and said to her, "Eat before leaving."

Ella froze, "One is for me?"

He glanced her like looking at an idiot. "How can I eat up all?"

After hearing this, Ella didn't want to care anything since she was really hungry. She directly sat on the sofa and began to eat the rice.

Seeing her gobbling, Aiden couldn't help saying, "You eat like a starving ghost. Didn't you eat lunch?"

Ella's mouth stuffed a piece of duck meat and flowed saliva. Although she cannot taste too much flavor when she is sick now, the duck meat really tastes delicious.

The duck juice seeping from the meat, and it can't be more delicious.

She said while eating, "Ah, forget about it. The president must be a really bad man! My department is really a hell to stay. The director called Daniel is extremely cold! I was so busy that I just ate a sandwich for lunch, and my fingers still hurt after editing those pictures."
