Amelia cleared her throat before saying, “I didn't get to introduce him earlier, but this is Mr. Donald Campbell, a manager that the headquarters have sent to supervise our work. Hierarchy-wise, Mr. Campbell has a higher rank than me. Therefore, Mr. Campbell has the right to deal with your reimbursement of food expenses.”
At that, Donald glanced at Amelia, thinking, She's quite sly, isn't she? We're both supposed to be of the same rank, but why am I suddenly a rank higher than her here? It looks like she's about to redirect Chester's hatred toward me. That way, she'll get to sit at the side and watch the show unfold instead.
Donald had figured out what Amelia was trying to do, but he did not say anything about it.
First of all, he quite enjoyed Amelia's little tricks. Secondly, he did not like Chester either, so he did not mind helping her teach the man a lesson.
Yet, Chester stopped after hearing Amelia's introduction of who Donald was.
“Since he's a higher-up from the headquarters, let's forget about making the claim then. Boys, greet Mr. Campbell.”
Chester's swift change of attitude made Donald look at him in a new light.
Hm? Seems like Chester has a brain.
The workers then greeted Donald, who did not mind and went to take a seat in a corner.
Regardless of whatever transpired before the start of work, Amelia seemed like a completely different person once they started work. She was particularly professional as she made arrangements for Chester and his men.
In fact, Amelia would even supervise certain parts of the renovation.
Although Chester did not think that Amelia was impressive, he knew well the kind of character she had.
Therefore, as long as Amelia's request was not too outrageous, he would make amendments according to her requests. In a way, the two of them were working in tandem.
Not only did they not fall behind with the renovating process, but the renovations were done in excellent quality as well. They were basically an exact copy of what was in the proposal.
It was then Donald finally understood why Jennifer told him that Amelia was a capable woman and why she asked him to help her out.
In the blink of an eye, a day went by.
As it was only basic work that day, Donald made no suggestions for anything and left work on the dot. It was as if he was only there because he had to be there.
Chester was annoyed by Donald's demeanor, but Amelia seemed to have come to terms with it.
After all, the vice president had already spent the entire day at the scene with them. She was not expecting any more from him.
Right as Donald left the room, a worker named Kurt Parson walked over to Chester's side and asked, “Chester, should we teach that young man a lesson? He's too arrogant for his own good.”
Chester narrowed his eyes and said, “Bring a few of the boys over first and wait for my call. I'll contact my cousin and find out who he really is. We'll only lay a finger on him if we find out that he's harmless. It's a safer option.”
Kurt nodded and went after Donald with three other workers.
Amelia saw their sneaky actions, but she made no move to tell Donald about it.
While Donald would thank her if she were to send him a warning message, his gratitude was worthless to her. What could she gain from tipping him off?
On the other hand, things would get entertaining if Chester really did manage to beat Donald up.
With Donald's status, Chester would be doomed for the worst.
By then, the company would send another team for the renovation, and she would be able to take charge for once.
Chester had no idea what was going through Amelia's mind as he took out his phone to call his cousin, Huey Horseraft.
“Huey, we have someone called Donald Campbell from the headquarters who came today. Help me find out what his background is.”
