After returning to the villa, Ana saw that Isabella was looking at the moon out of her mind sitting aside the swimming pool.
And Carrie was sitting aside while looking at Isabella. She could see that Carried was worried about Isabella through her eyes.
“Mom, you are back.” Carrie came up to Ana, “Auntie Isabella is not happy.”
Ana touched her head gently,”Dear, go to sleep now. I will comfort Auntie Isabella.”
Carrie nodded in agreement and went back to her room to go to sleep at once.
Actually, Ana knew the reason why Isabella was unhappy. She came up to Isabella and sat down.
“Are you very disappointed since you have known that Carrie is Vincent’s daughter?”
“Ana, I don’t know Vincent is Carrie’s father. I just…”
“Do you like Vincent?”
“Yes.” Isabella directly admitted her feelings for Vincent without any hesitation.
“Then tell him.” Ana put her hands on the ground and looked up at the stars, looking relaxed.
“What?”
Isabella looked at Ana with surprise.
“Carrie is his daughter, and you are his woman. How can you ask me to pursue him? Don’t you be jealous, or don’t you feel sad?”
“I would never be together with him. He raped me and ruined me for a lifetime. I hate him very much. If you can really be with him and take him away from City S, I will be very grateful to you.”
“Ana, are you sure I can pursue him?”
“Of course you can. I hope you can be successful and take him away from City S.”
Ana really said these words with sincerity. If Isabella could really be with Vincent and took him away from City S, then she could live with Carrie in peace. And Isabella could marry a wealthy man as she wished. So why not do it?
Isabella immediately got up and shouted at Ana’s back, “Thank you, Ana.”
Ana turned her back to Isabella and shook her hand to Isabella very coolly, “I wish you success and marry a rich man.”
…
The next morning, Ana came to the Sales Department as usual. And she also saw that there were two buns and a cup of fermented soya-bean milk.
And then she threw them into the trash can without thinking too much.
“Ana, do you enjoying playing with throwing buns into trash can?”
Ana smiled, without replying to Miriam.
“I only have a basic salary of 800 a month. If you don’t like it, you can give it to me, then I can save money.”
“OK. If there will be breakfast on my desk, you can take it.”
“Yes, thank you, Ana.”
After the morning meeting, Ana mysteriously came to the corner of the office with Miriam and asked her, “Miriam, can you go to Nunwah Group with me? We can’t wait forever. We must take the initiative and go directly to Nunwah Group and negotiates with the manager.”
Ana finally understood that she would not win because of Sandra Moody if she did not do anything but just kept waiting. She must take the initiative to get the chance. Although it would take the liberty to go to visit the manager of the Nunwah Group without making an appointment, it would be very difficult to sign any contract with Nunwah Group for any order if she did not visit the manager.
“OK! We can go to visit him to get a chance for conversation. If we do nothing, they will not come to us actively.”
After brief discussion, they set off directly.
Nunwah Group
They came to the reception to make an appointment to meet the manager of the Purchasing Department.
However, they learned that the manager had no time because he was talking with important customers in the meeting room. Therefore, they had to waiting for him at the door of the Group.
After half an hour, Kyler Hank, Manager of the Purchasing Department of Nunwah Group, Dylan Shawn, Bailey Moody and Sandra Moody came out from the Group together with smile. Dylan and Kyler kept shaking hands with each other. They must get the order.
When seeing them, Ana and Miriam were shocked. They looked at each other and then became dispirited.
“Hey, this is Ana! What are you doing here?” Sandra put her hands in her pockets and asked when she came up to Ana.
Ana ignored Sandra but ran to Kyler and asked with sincere, “Hi, Mr. Kyler. Do you remember me? I am Ana from BC Group. Yesterday we contacted you by phone, and you said we could meet today. Can we talk about…”
Before she finished her talk, Kyler turned to Dylan and said,”As you come from the same company, this is none of my business, please settle down by yourself. I am wondering about the Sales Department of your company now, how can they compete for the order in front of the customer? It seems that some sales persons are unqualified.”
Kyler did not pay attention to Ana, he just turned away. No matter how Ana tried to call him back, he did not turn around any more.
“Ana, are you crazy?” Sandra yelled with sarcasm, “We have gotten the order. What are you doing? This is how Vincent has taught you to grab orders from others?”
Ana stood there out of breath, without saying anything. However, she understood that it was normal to lose this order because Dylan Shawn had joined them to work for this order.
As for herself, she was just a salesperson of the Group. What qualifications did she have to compete with Dylan Shawn and Bailey Moody?
“Ana, you have no qualification to compete with us.” Sandra looked at her contemptuously and mocked her mercilessly,”You know what? It is very important to join in a powerful team and follow the outstanding leader. There are more than 80 people in the Sales Department, and only more than 20 people including you have joined in the team of Vincent Lawson.”
“Look at you guys, you are really poor in sales performance. Do you know why we are doing good in sales?”
“Because our leader Dylan can always work hard with us for orders.”
“What about Vincent Lawson? I guess he is enjoying a cup of tea and the sun in the office.”
Dylan Shawn and Bailey Moody glanced at Ana and then turned away. They did not allow themselves to talk with Ana on their own initiative because of their identities. They thought it would be shameful.
“Rubbish!” Sandra mocked them rudely before leaving,”How dare you to compete with me for the order?”
Miriam was also a straight-tempered person. She watched them drive away with hostile, and she said angrily, “How can they bully us in this way? As business operators, how can they bully us since we are just freshmen in workplace? And in order to win the position of Associate Director, they all asked Mr. Dylan to come out to talk about business in person. I think they have gone too much.”
“Why Mr. Vincent can allow them to bully us in this way without offer some help?”
“Ana, you have worked hard so much. If we just compete with each other by relying on our own ability, you may get this order by yourself. Sandra was so contemptible. She just got this order under the help of Mr. Dylan. I also have to ask for help from Mr. Vincent to get some honor for our team.”
“Let’s go.” Ana sighed,”Without this order, we can get other orders from other companies. Don’t ask Mr. Vincent for help. He is the president at the top, how can he works together with the freshmen in workplace for orders? We can only work hard on our own.”
Miriam did not say anything, but she could not stand it as she was straight-forward.
She did know that the President was indeed not obligated to help salespersons sign contracts for orders. However, both of them were Presidents of the Group, why Mr. Dylan could come out with his team members to talk about business, and Mr. Vincent could not do that?
It was known that it was a big order of Nunwah Group. So, as the President, they must offer help for the benefit of the Group. Moreover, now people of the Sales Department had been divided into two teams due to the appearance of Vincent Lawson, and they were fighting against each other.
In addition, it was said that the one who could sign the contract with Nunwah Group for the order could be the Associate Director. Didn’t Vincent Lawson want to have someone he could confide in to be the Associate Director in the Group?
As she thought about this, she came to the office of Vincent Lawson directly after she came back to the company. After she saw Vincent was sitting on the sofa basking in the sun and reading the newspaper, she felt angry. She knew that Ana worked so hard to achieve performance for the team of Vincent, even if she was bullied by the team members of Dylan Shawn, she had to stand it without complaining about anything. However, as the team leader, he just sat here to enjoy basking in the sun.
Miriam was so sad with tears,”Mr. Vincent, frankly speaking, I want to fight against you.”
