“Leo.”
Caroline looked at Leo, and the tears almost flowed out.
She can’t remember how many times Leo stood in front of her to shelter her from the wind and rain.
When she was a child, she was bullied by other children, it’s Leo who secretly punished those children. When he returned home with bruises, she asked him what happened. He always shook head and said “Nothing!”
And this man like an elder brother was most likely to become her partner for the lifetime, but she pushed him away.
When she was aware of his kindness, he had married someone else.
Caroline held special feelings to Leo, who can always touch the softest part of her heart.
“Probably, I will never get married.”
Looking at the man standing in front of her holding her hand, Caroline thought sadly.
Leo shook his head and calmly said, “I won’t allow it. You can’t hurt yourself like this.”
Caroline gritted her teeth and dropped her hand.
Karina suddenly got unhappy and she stood up and angrily pointed at Leo, “Here is Foreign Trade Department, and I am the director here. Who are you?”
Leo released Caroline’s hand and looked at Karina coldly, “First, no matter what you are here, you should not deliberately bully a girl who is new here, besides, she really has done a good job.”
“And second, you shouldn’t have slapped her!”
Then he slowly walked toward Karina, and his cold stare gave her creeps.
However, she was the director of the department and had the support of President Black. She feared nothing.
Then she pointed at Leo, cursing, “Which department are you in? Let your leader come here.”
Leo said indifferently, “I am the leader.”
“Ha!”
His words made Karina laugh. “You dare to pretend to be a leader? I know about all mid-level leaders, and I never meet you.”
Caroline stood by and wanted to remind her that his wife was president of Atlas Group. But she didn’t, thinking of how Karina treated her before.
Leo laughed, squatted down and picked up the documents, “We just settle on the terms. You said that these are rubbish?”
“Aren’t they?”
Leo changed the topic, which convinced Karina that he pretended to be a leader. So she wore a mocking face, “Every word makes no sense. Anyone can do it better. I can describe it as nothing but rubbish.”
“Birds of a feather flock together. You such a talentless woman deserves such a talentless man!”
“Who is your leader? I will find her. You are not qualified to work in Atlas Group!”
Her pride as a mid-level leader was evident.
Caroline pulled Leo to stop him from speaking up for her. Karina deliberately made her awkward. No matter how well she did, she will disparage her.
Leo smiled and looked at Karina, “But in my opinion, Caroline has completed the documents very well, and there is nothing to be revised except for some details. But why you depreciate her work like that?”
“I…”
Karina showed an awkward face, but soon she said, “You two are in the same level, so you think that she has done it well.”
Leo showed a bigger smile, “Do you know who I am?”
“Who are you?”
Karina was fearless and asked.
As the director of the Foreign Trade department and with Stefan Black to be her back support, she had no one to fear except the vice president.
Caroline felt a little relaxed. However, when she thought that Leo was going to show his identity as President Henderson’s husband, Leo smiled and said, “I am the minister of Foreign Trade Department, your director leader.”
It’s silent in the office. Everyone in the department, including Caroline, was in shock for a moment.
Then, Caroline looked at Leo surprisingly and blurted out, “You are the Minister of Foreign Trade Department? !”
She also knew something about the current situation of Atlas Group. Mollie Simpson, one of the three vice presidents, had resigned, so there was a vacancy. It is said that the vice president had been selected before Mid-Autumn, but the news was not announced.
The new vice president was Leo?
After the shock, Caroline realized that it’s reasonable.
Leo was Lydia’s husband, and the position of deputy manager must be reserved for her beloved man.
But what shocked Caroline was not this news, but the fact that Leo agreed to join Atlas Group.
As she can tell, the former owner of the building and the richest man in Emerdale both were very respectful to Leo. As long as he nodded, he can become the chairman of a giant enterprise.
As for Karina, she directly got dumbfounded. She stood still there at a loss, and she even neglected the spilled coffee.
She knew that today her immediate boss would come here, but she never expected that Leo would be one of the three vice presidents!
At that moment, her expression changed a lot, and she faltered a few times but failed to say a word.
The minister of Foreign Trade Department personally revised the document for a new intern? ! And she pointed at the minister and shouted that the documents he revised were rubbish.
Her cheek twitched fiercely.
Rachel Ward, who watched this from outside, was amazed by Leo’s tactics.
He can’t fire a director for no reason, but what if the director offended him?
So he hid his identity in the beginning, and now he exposed his identity when she offended him.
Karina came to herself, staring at Leo. She hysterically shouted, “I don’t believe, he cannot be the minister of Foreign Trade Department!”
Rachel Ward’s face darkened. Even she couldn’t offend Mr. Cohen, How dare she as a director?
She quickly came to Karina and slapped her in the face, “How dare you to offend Mr. Cohen?”
“Miss Ward? !”
The slap left Karina bleeding at the corners of her mouth, but she got a pale face when she saw Rachel Ward.
Even the president’s secretary came in person, so the man she had sneered at and looked down upon was her director leader.
She even wanted to slap herself. She wouldn’t have said that if she knew his identity.
She wouldn’t have challenged Caroline if she knew that Caroline was a friend of the minister.
But it was late.
“Mr. Cohen…Leader…”
She forced a smile and looked at Leo, pleading, “That was a misunderstanding, misunderstanding…”
“Oh, a misunderstanding.”
Leo gave her a teasing smile, “You just said that the document I changed was rubbish? Or you take my place to be the vice manager?”
“It’s a template, a template…”
Karina was almost frightened and began to cry.
“Did you slap her and threaten her to apologize on her knees?”
Leo still smiled and said, pointing at Caroline.
Karina knelt down in front of Leo, burying her head very deeply.
This time, she finally started to cry.
“Leader, it’s my fault. Please forgive me!”
