Victoria had no comment on McNeil’s behavior; after all, whatever he did with Violet was no longer any of her concern.
As she and Ailie were chatting, someone knocked on the office door.
Ailie glanced over and saw a young woman whose face she didn’t recognize—she couldn’t recall seeing her in any department before.
“Ms. Turner, I’m Georgia, Ms. Marchand’s assistant.”
Victoria nodded coolly. “Is there something you need?”
Ailie glared at the newcomer with the ferocity of a tiger.
No wonder she didn’t recognize her—Violet Marchand certainly knew how to make an entrance. She’d barely settled in and already had an assistant lined up.
“Ms. Marchand asked me to let you know that there’s a press conference the day after tomorrow with The Langford Group. Mr. Garcia, Mr. Langford, Ms. Marchand, and several executives from both companies will be attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”
Ailie scoffed, cutting her off mid-sentence. “Isn’t the PR team handling the ribbon-cutting? Why bother Victoria with this?”
Unbelievable—Violet just couldn’t leave things alone. Victoria hadn’t caused her any trouble, but Violet was always finding ways to provoke her.
Georgia remained unfazed by Ailie’s bluntness, keeping her professional smile fixed on Victoria.
“Ms. Marchand said no one in the company is more presentable than you, Ms. Turner. She’d like you to serve as the emcee for the event.”
Ailie shot out of her seat. “That’s ridiculous! You can tell Violet Marchand that, if we’re ranking by looks, she’s only third in the company. Let her be the emcee and wipe the—”
“Ms. Collins—” Victoria interrupted sharply.
“You can tell Ms. Marchand I have no objections,” Victoria said calmly.
Ailie stared at her, incredulous. “Are you out of your mind? That woman—”
She trailed off, words failing her. Victoria’s expression was unreadable.
“Have you started drafting your resignation letter?” Victoria asked suddenly.
