Back then, Clarissa had worked at Tyson Corporation for just a month, but she had already witnessed the dark side of the corporate world.
So, she knew that it was not a big deal to be looked down on by others. However, she still felt a sense of defeat.
Not everyone would be willing to help her. Only her family would give her anything she wanted.
If it weren’t for Matthew, Clarissa was just an insignificant figure to outsiders.
After leaving the conference room, they bumped into Avery again when they waited for the elevator.
Avery’s face was still cold at that time. But, she shot a glance at Clarissa.
After a while, the elevator arrived, and they stepped inside. Suddenly, Avery broke the silence, “Ms. Quigley, I don’t know what your relationship with Mr. Walker is, but usually, I won’t give anyone a second chance. Today, I let you come again because Mr. Walker allowed you to. I think maybe you should look for Mr. Walker. You don’t need to go through the proper channels like others.”
Avery’s words were harsh.
Clarissa understood the underlying meaning of her words. This woman is so arrogant.
But Clarissa remained calm upon hearing the words. If she lost her temper at that time, Avery would think that the former got mad because she had hit the nail on the head.
“Ms. Alston, I don’t understand what you mean. But, your attitude is truly an eye-opening experience for me. I didn’t know Tyson Corporation has an employee like you. I think this is good writing material for me. Thank you.”
Ding!
At that, the elevator’s door opened. Clarissa walked out of the elevator.
Of course, she was angry. But she had no other choice because she just knew how to write and could only use the method to vent her anger.
Next time, I must write a character by the name of Avery and torture her!
Clarissa gulped down a huge glass of water to suppress the mounting rage on her chest. Then, she sat down with a depressed look on her face.
When she raised her head to take a look at Yael, she found that the latter was doing her work as if she had expected all this.
Then, Mandy went up to Clarissa and queried, “Clarissa, are things not going smoothly there? Did they agree to invest in our studio?”
Clarissa shook her head in response.
Upon seeing that, Mandy felt a flicker of irritation. “Huh? Did they do this on purpose? Don’t be mad, Clarissa. Go to the top floor now to tell Mr. Tyson about this and ask him to warn those people. Damn it! How dare they reject their lady boss? Ask Mr. Tyson to fire them!”
She suggested the concept of an eye for an eye again and wanted so badly to make those people regret what they did.
Although Clarissa would feel happy upon seeing them being treated badly, she didn’t want to do as Mandy said because she didn’t want others to think that she could only rely on Matthew.
Hence, she shook her head. However, she was fired up upon hearing Mandy’s words.
“Okay. I must prove to the others that our studio has its worth. We got to where we are today by our own effort. We had never relied on anyone. Mandy, let’s go to meet with other investors,” said Clarissa, out of a sudden.
Mandy was a little confused upon hearing that. Before she could react, Yael walked out of her office and said, “No need for that. If you really want to secure investment, come with me to meet with some bosses tonight.”
“Will they invest in our studio?”
“It depends on your performance.”
“Okay, I will do my best.”
Yael nodded in response. Meanwhile, Mandy twitched the corner of her lips when she heard their conversation. If she didn’t know that Yael wasn’t a pimp, she would have thought that there was an underlying meaning in her words.
After work, Yael took Clarissa out for dinner. Then, they attended a party.
Since it was the end of the year, most of them gathered to have some fun. It was not easy if Yael and Clarissa wanted to get investment there.
There were many men and women at the party. Everyone took off their professional looks from the day and focused on having fun.
Yael introduced Clarissa to a middle-aged man, Mr. Collins. Maybe he had contacted Yael beforehand, so when he met them, he scanned Clarissa up and down for a while and started to listen to what Yael said attentively. Although there were people who interrupted the chat on and off, he paid full attention to Yael and asked her some questions from time to time.
Clarissa thought the man’s attitude was much better than Avery’s. At least he was willing to understand their studio and even raised some questions. Seeing that, she became more excited, and the corners of her lip curled up. She did not dare to disturb them, so she just stayed beside Yael without saying any words.
“Ms. Fleming, to be honest, I’m interested in investing in your studio.”
Hearing that, Clarissa’s eyes lit up. Mr. Collins seemed to have noticed that. “But, I think—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Clarissa’s face turned gloomy.
Seeing the change of her facial expression, Mr. Collins couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
He turned his attention to Clarissa. When Yael noticed that, she shook her head inwardly. Sigh! I shouldn’t have brought her here.
After a while, Mr. Collins stopped laughing and turned to look at Clarissa, “Are you Ms. Fleming’s secretary?”
“No, she is the boss of our studio, Clarissa Quigley.”
