Although Albina didn’t understand, she didn’t say much. She was already about to leave the company, so it was not good to meddle in these matters.
From the moment she entered the office, someone pretended to be working, but was actually watching her silently.
Albina was very sensitive, so she could easily feel the sight of these people. She frowned, walked to her workstation and began to pack her things.
Her movements were a bit unexpected, someone couldn’t hold back and exclaimed.
Albina looked towards the place where the sound came from, it was a girl who had a good relationship with her before.
-What’s wrong? -she asked in a low voice.
The girl’s cheeks were turning red, but she still asked what everyone wanted to know:
-Albina, why are you packing your things? Are you going to change offices?
What everyone was thinking at this moment was that Macos treated Albina with special consideration and she would have her own office.
This was a great honor for employees who had outstanding contributions or for veterans of the company.
Even the current head of the design department was in the same office as them.
When these words came out, everyone’s expressions were a bit complicated. The expression of the director of the design department was even more embarrassed.
Albina sighed after seeing the expressions of these people.
She didn’t spend much time with the colleagues in the design department, but everyone took good care of her and didn’t target her like Lila did.
However, it was natural for people to have their own advantages and disadvantages. If she was not a threat to them, of course they would show kindness. But it was obvious that Albina was much more famous than them because of her qualifications. After realizing this, it was very obvious that they were not very satisfied.
Albina saw this very clearly. She might not be as smart as Umberto in manipulating people and complicated mind games, but she had always seen people’s hearts very clearly.
Although she believed there was kindness in the world, she did not underestimate the sinister nature of people.
So he made no secret of it, smiled and said to the colleague who asked him:
-I just resigned, this was discussed with President Murillo a long time ago. After all, the style I am good at does not match the general trend of the company. I cannot bring significant benefits to the company and it limits my development. I may open my own studio in the future.
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze for a moment and looked at her in astonishment. Her beautiful, delicate facial features, her slight smile and her eyes seemed to see everything clearly, but concealed everything.
The sarcastic people who used to talk about her were now silent and felt very embarrassed, as if they had been slapped hard.
They had just suspected Albina, the slander in their hearts was much worse than they were saying.
Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Albina just smiled and did not speak. Then she packed her things, waved them off and left.
It wasn’t until her back was gone that those people started talking again.
-She actually quit. I thought she would ask for the position of director of our department.
-But, in fact. Although Albina can also design other styles, her best works are Chinese style.
Some colleagues now couldn’t even. They looked down at their desk, feeling very guilty.
The amount of scolding they said a moment ago, is the amount of guilt they feel now.
Not long after Albina left, Macos came into the design department. He saw that everything was noisy, some people were very uncomfortable, others were whispering something and their expressions were also very strange.
He first looked at Albina’s workstation and found that things had been cleaned.
Then he asked:
-What are you talking about, what happened?
As soon as he spoke, the people in the department suddenly realized that Macos was standing in the doorway, and the office immediately went silent. The people who had just spoken quietly quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be busy.
The head of the design department had been silent from the beginning. Macos approached to discuss the job with him. As he was about to leave, the director suddenly stopped him:
-Sir!
Macos looked at him in confusion.
-Is there anything else?
The director frowned and said after a long time:
-Why did Albina suddenly resign? You should know that she just came back from the Paris Fashion Week. Now she is very popular and can provide better resources to the company. At this time, shouldn’t the company keep her? Why did you allow her to leave?
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the office listened attentively.
The head of the design department saw that everyone stopped work and paid attention to this side, but he did not reprimand them. The reason he chose to ask it in the office was that he wanted them to listen together.
Macos looked around the office, he wasn’t stupid, he could see some clues in their expressions. Immediately, he felt a little disgruntled and frowned.
Before Albina left, they even did this, they didn’t even leave a good impression on him.
His expression turned grim and the employees did not dare to look at him.
The people Macos looked at lowered their heads.
Macos snorted coldly and said:
-If it is only in the interests of the company, I must retain Albina.
As he said, something occurred to him and he flashed a cold smile.
-By the way, I forgot to tell you that the relationship between Albina and I is not just the relationship between superior and subordinate, we are good friends, very good friends. Her current boyfriend and future fiance is Umberto, she is not interested in the position of the director of a small design department of our company.
After talking, I didn’t want to see her reactions, so she left.
The office was completely silent this time, everyone was in awe.
“Albina’s boyfriend is Umberto, is that Umberto?”
“If Macos said so then it must be that Umberto!”
After working with her for so long, they didn’t even know this news at all. Remembering the discussion and suspicion from a moment ago, they were very embarrassed.
They were men of narrow vision, they knew nothing and spoke condescendingly about Albina just because they were her superiors.
As a result, the things they valued were worthless in Albina’s eyes. She had her own ideas, and she didn’t even want to argue with them.
Macos did not hide it, Albina had already resigned. It was good that they knew this, anyway, they would find out sooner or later.
The Santangel Family valued her highly, so he assumed that news of her engagement would soon be published.
After Albina left the Murillo Group, she no longer thought about the company’s affairs. She returned to the residence, thinking that Umberto would be leaving work very late, and went to look for Ariana.
They lived in the same residence, which was very convenient. He only walked a few minutes to get to her house.
After knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered the door. Albina texted Ariana, asking where she had gone.
She remembered that Ariana had no school today and it was very hot now.
Usually, Albina didn’t mind the heat, but right now, she was very uncomfortable.
There was no way Ariana was going out to draw at this time.
There was a quick response.
-I have something to do something outside, and I’ll be back late.
After seeing the message, Albina could only go home. She desperately wanted to go home, go into the air-conditioned room, cover herself with a quilt and have a good rest.
Now she was free and had no job, it was great for her.
Ariana really had something to do now, as she was about to go home after class in the morning, someone blocked her way.
It was Natalia.
Ariana had broken up with Santiago, and she didn’t care that he chose to be with Natalia, so she had nothing to do with her. She didn’t want to contact anyone or anything to do with Santiago now.
So, seeing Natalia, Ariana avoided her and prepared to leave.
But Natalia was very stubborn, so she followed her step by step and blocked her way.
The movements of both of them at the school gate were a bit conspicuous. Ariana was a teacher hired by the school. She was well-known and beautiful, and it was easy to attract the attention of her classmates.
They were stuck for a while. It was the school’s peak period and students coming and going were watching, and some even stopped to watch the scene and were very curious.
Seeing that there was going to be traffic, Ariana could only accept Natalia’s invitation. They went to the restaurant where they met earlier and sat face to face again.
