Miss. Li was working on her computer. When she heard the knock on the door, she let the people outside in. But when she saw it was Nicole, her face immediately turned cold.
Miss. Li had been very disappointed with Nicole these two days. When she and Mr. Eric recruited Nicole, Miss. Li had thought highly of Nicole and cherished Nicole's talent. She had been trying her best to train Nicole. However, she didn't expect that Nicole had offended Mr. Lambert and even disregarded the company's interests for personal affairs!
Miss. Li, who always put the interests of the company first and always thought for the boss, would not allow such an employee to do things under her leadership.
Nicole walked forward and said, "Miss. Li, I'm here to apologize to you."
Miss. Li stood up and closed the shutters to block the view from the outside. Then she sat back in the chair and asked, "What do you apologize for? For your absence from the meeting yesterday?"
Nicole lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "I know my performance yesterday caused a lot of losses to the department, and also made the leaders dissatisfied with you. But my brother was in a car accident and hospitalized, seriously injured. There are only me and my brother in my family, and I have to take care of him. If I'm not by his side, no one will take care of him."
Miss. Li sneered slightly, and then pretended to be kind and said, "If the company doesn't allow you to have a leave, which will be heartless and lack of humanity. I have been working in the company for so many years, and I also know how to care about the employees, but why can't you apply for a leave in advance? Why do you have to be absent when the meeting arrangement was ready and all the leaders are waiting for you? I clearly saw you hurriedly went out to call at noon. Didn't you already know that your brother had an accident at that time, did you?"
Nicole said, "At that time... I just couldn't get in touch with my brother, so I called his head teacher when I went out. I knew that something happened to him until the meeting was about to be held... So I..."
"Even if there is an emergency, all the leaders are waiting for you in such an important meeting. It doesn't matter even if you delay it for an hour to visit your brother, right? Your brother is fine now, right? He hasn't been worse because he can't see you in the past two or three hours, right? Besides, you are not a doctor. Can you go to do the surgery for him? If you would be a little considerate for the interests of the company at that time, you just delayed for an hour. But nothing would happen."
Nicole thought the words from Miss. Li were harsh. As an HR, she didn't agree with Miss. Li's way of doing things, which made the employees disappointed.
