I am resigning, why do I have to come on time!?
She rolled her eyes at her own denseness, and marched confidently into the office.
As soon as she entered DoD, she was caught in a surprise.
*POP POP*
And all she could see was fluttering confetti.
A crowd gathered to cheer and applaud festive style.
Annabelle dazed momentarily and then asked awkwardly, “Anything happening here?”
Covi came up and held her hand, “Annabelle, we heard that you have secured the contract with Yuan Shin Group!” She was so gleeful and Annabelle can feel her genuine joy for her success. Annabelle looked around and she saw that everyone in DoD were there to give her this surprise celebration.
“Many have tried but failed. And Annabelle, you who just came managed to slay the dragon, we are so proud of you!” Covi cheered.
Annabelle felt warm-hearted. She had equipped and braced herself for office politics, toxic working environments and worse… and now she found her current workplace really pleasant. More than what she hoped for.
Regrettably, she just couldn’t stay…
Annabelle bowed her head gently and returned everyone’s goodwill with a bright smile.
“I was just lucky!” She crooned, unsure whether her colleagues caught wind of what happened or not.
Frankly speaking, it was truly lucky that she got the contract. And Mu’s appearance after that was climacteric. It sent shivers down her spine just imagining what can happen otherwise.
“Congratulations Annabelle!” Covi wrapped her arms enthusiastically around her shoulder.
“Congratulations…? For what?” Annabelle was thrown in confusion again.
“Don’t you know? Mr. Mu announced that whoever got the Yuan Shi contract can take part in the Shi Rui Design Competition in Italy!
Annabelle’s eyes widened in astonishment. She had heard of the Shin Rui Design Competition before. They were the pioneer and world-class level in this field.
If your showcase were able to win the accolade, there would be extensive publicity and they were considered one of the most high-return advertising one might run!
Did Alistair really said that? Annabelle was tempted.
