“Yes, he told me to make him a cup of tea, but complained that it didn’t taste very good after I made it, so he made me make it again for him and his guest.”
“You are his guest too, so he shouldn’t be doing this to you.” Jenny let out a sigh. “Why don’t you let me do this?”
“All good?”
“He wouldn’t know,” Jenny said as she led me into the pantry. I watched her as she made the tea, just to see the differences in our methods. All I did was add some tea leaves before pouring hot water into the cup, but Jenny didn’t exactly do that. First, she made sure she had the right amount of tea leaves in the cup before adding a small amount of hot water to soak the leaves, then filling the cup with hot water to an inch below the rim of the cup.
I memorized these steps so I could deal with Eric’s shenanigans in the future. When I got back to his office, Eric was still talking to Callie. With a nod, he took the glass from me as I handed it to him. “It smells good”
Meanwhile, I handed the cup to Callie in silence, during which she flashed me a smile. “Thanks Lily”
Despite his smile and respectful attitude, I could feel his disdain, but I just stared at Eric with a blank expression on my face. “Can I leave now, Mr. Walker!”
He put the glass down without making any more awkward requests: “I already sent the floor plan to your email, which includes comments on the parts I think should be changed. Please change these now as the blueprint will be needed for tomorrow’s building work. ”
When answering him. I turned to leave his office, only to see Jenny watching me with an anxious look on her face. She let out a sigh of relief before resuming work as soon as she saw I looked fine, so I headed back to my office.
After downloading the email attachment Eric sent, I started modifying the project and sent it back to him once I was done. But even after a long time, I have not received a reply from him.
I figured it would be best if I went to check with him, but Jenny came into the office as I was leaving. “Lily, I brought you some coffee.” She handed me one of the glasses she was holding.
“Thanks.” I took a sip from the glass. “Jenny, is Eric in the office?”
“No,” said Jenny. “I wouldn’t dare loiter at work if he was.”
“So Callie is gone?” I asked.
“She is still with the company. Jenny’s face grew angry as soon as she mentioned Callic. “Although she decided that she would like to work here, she was extremely demanding with her work.”
I let out a laugh. “She is an MBA graduate from a foreign university, so I suppose that was to be expected.”
“That’s only if she’s applying to work at another company. There are a lot of people who are at her level in our company! When asking for a vital position, she must have assumed she was a cut above the rest! Still, President Walker was nice to her as he offered her the marketing manager position, but guess what happened next?”
“What happened?”
“President Walker asked Nelly to show her around the marketing department after lunch, but she was dissatisfied with her working conditions, so she went back to him to say she wouldn’t be working there. When he asked about her requirements, she said she would like to work closely with him.”
“And even? What did he say then?”
