"What's wrong?" Charles looked up. "Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing serious, just that people downstairs have been talking about it. Everyone says the company doesn't seem to care much about the year-end party this year.
"Besides Becky, Janet hasn't done much at all." Noelle didn't have any major issues with Janet, but she felt that since Janet was now an employee at Collosus Group, she should complete the tasks assigned to her.
Noelle might have overestimated Janet; she seemed too accustomed to her privileged life to handle these tasks. "It just seems like Becky's been really exhausted lately. She's doing all this heavy work by herself."
"So, what are you suggesting, Nelly?" Charles chuckled. "Becky is my secretary. I know her capabilities, so don't worry about it. As for Janet, I'll find a time to let her go, but not just yet. It's the end of the year, after all, and we should still leave the Bakers with a bit of dignity."
"Don't misunderstand me; whether you send her away or not doesn't matter. She won't affect our relationship." Noelle did not want to pressure Charles into making any decisions. "Just do what you feel is right."
"Alright." Charles smiled. "Nelly, you're always so considerate of me."
"Of course." Noelle grinned. "I really have to go now. After work, I'll wait for you in your underground parking lot. You'll be off on time today, right? Aunt Nancy said she wants to eat chili lime fish tonight, so we'll need to buy fresh fish after work."
"Uncle Henry didn't go to buy it?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Henry sure knows how to delegate tasks."
