Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 15

Chapter 015

After putting her things on the desk, Lucia went straight to the department head Carter's office to report.

Upon entering the door, Carter was talking to Lisa, another department assistant.

Carter saw Lucia standing in the doorway and waved at her, "Come here."

Lucia immediately walked on, "Carter, I'm back at the office and come to report to you."

Carter nodded slightly. "I know, since both of you are here now, I need to tell you something. You two are my assistants, to assist the entire department. Besides me, you two should shoulder the responsibility in this department. Lucia, I expect your performance, and if you have any problems, you can ask Lisa Miller, you understand?"

Lucia immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, I understand."

Then Carter said, "Good, I have told Lisa the most important work in the department recently. Lisa, you show

Lucia around to get familiar with her work."

"Okay. Carter, you can rest assured."

Lisa smiled kindly, and at the same time she turned to Lucia and smiled at her, "Lucia, you come with me." Lucia was only a small clerk in the department before, so she didn't have much contact with Lisa. At first, she was worried that Lisa wouldn't tolerate her, but now it seemed that she was overly worried.

Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Lucia nodded and followed her immediately. "Thanks very much, Lisa."

The two walked out of Carter's office shoulder to shoulder, and then Lisa led her to the side, "From today, you will have your own office, and you can move here after you pack up your stuff later."

Looking at the bright, spacious office, Lucia felt happy secretly in that she had a chance to have an office of her own in her lifetime!

"Thank you, Lisa. Carter just said something about work, what..."

As soon as Lucia mentioned work, Lisa suddenly looked sullen, and the look on her face was no longer as kind as it was just now, even with some impatience, "I'll tell you later." Saying this, Lisa took out a file from the folder in her hand and put it on the desk, "Holidays are around the

corner now. This is the list of welfare prepared by our company for employees, and you need to purchase these things. There are tips about funds and our business partners. You can handle this thing first." Lucia took a look at the file and responded with a little excitement, "Okay, leave this to me!"

Lisa looked at Lucia turning to leave, and a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes.

She would have a headache every time handling the holiday welfare thing. The company only gave limited funds, but prices rose every time. Therefore, failing to satisfy anyone, she was always in a dilemma despite her efforts. Now as Lucia had just been promoted, she naturally wanted to throw this hot potato at her. Once Lucia messed it up, not only could she not be blamed, but maybe even let Lucia lose her job.

Getting her task, Lucia at first contacted their former business partners, set up a meeting schedule, and then

prepared to move her stuff to the office.

As she packed her stuff, colleagues around her cast speculative glances at her, and some even gathered

together to talk about it as if not seeing her.

"Who knows her background? I heard that Lydia, the intern she instructed, was fired for offending her. Such a poor girl!"

"Really? I am also confused how come I haven't seen Lydia for the past few days."

Hearing what they said, Lucia frowned and quickly packed up her stuff. Then she walked towards her office, holding the cardboard box.

Chapter 115 She knew clearly that her promotion was indeed not in line with the company's rules, and it was impossible for her not to let others discuss it now. The only thing she could do was to do her job earnestly.

With this in mind, Lucia was so motivated that she took the file and read it again before going out to meet their business partners to discuss the order.

The paperwork stipulated that she could select two other people to go on the mission together, but when she arrived at the office area and asked, no one would go with her.

Seeing no one respond, Lucia took a breath and continued to ask, "Is there anyone who is not so busy today? Please come with me and we will be back soon." Everyone there had their head down as if they didn't hear what Lucia said and remained busy with their own 'business. The atmosphere was unspeakably awkward.

Seeing that no one really responded, Lucia took a deep breath, walked directly to a colleague, and said softly, "Emma, can you come with me?"

Emma was the most helpful girl in the department and got on well with Lucia before. Now in this situation, Lucia had no choice but to turn to her.

Emma hesitated and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from next to her, "Emma, have you finished the report I've asked you to arrange? I need it, quickly!"

Lucia looked around and saw Lisa coming this way.

Emma smiled and immediately answered, "It's not done yet, Lisa. I'll finish it right now."

Then she looked at Lucia and apologized to her, "Sorry Lucia, my work is not done yet."

Lucia nodded, "It's okay, you go ahead with your thing.

Lisa came over and asked, "Lucia, what's up? Are you looking for someone to come with you?" Lucia nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid I can't do it alone."

Hearing that, Lisa chuckled, "Lucia, you're not the little clerk you were before. Now you're an administrative

assistant, and these things should be done well even if you do it yourself. Besides, everyone is so busy, and you still want others to put down their own work to help you?"

The volume of her voice was proper enough to be heard clearly by Lucia's colleagues, and some of them gloated

so much that even laughed out loudly, all waiting to see Lucia being embarrassed.

Being scolded like this in front of everyone, Lucia's cheeks got hot and red.

A moment later, she took a deep breath and said, "Lisa, you're right. I'll go myself now."

After saying that, she turned around and walked straight out of the department.

Although she was only a small clerk before, she knew that tasks like this were usually completed by two or three people together. Since no one was willing to go with her this time, she had to complete the task well alone.
