Seeing this scene, no one else spoke.
Bella was the queen bee in their office, and these people were not even worthy to carry her shoes in this regard. She was the top performer in the entire marketing department, young and beautiful, and wealthy. In real life, she was a goddess through and through!
Although everyone knew she was a promiscuous woman, they had to admit she was more capable than them.
Before Charlotte arrived, everyone in the office, regardless of gender, tried to flatter her. Naturally, the women wanted her to give them some opportunities, while the men, based on her appearance alone, would swarm around her like flies, which she took pride in.
Seeing this scene, they all understood. Bella was displeased with Charlotte and wanted to teach her a lesson. How could they dare to meddle in this matter? Many men had the intention to help and protect beauty, but they lacked the courage to speak up for her. If they did, wouldn’t they be asking for trouble?
There was no need. And they didn’t dare.
A minute later, Charlotte came back with a broom and a dustpan, silently sweeping the debris on the ground.
Bella crossed her legs and looked at her lightly, a hint of mockery playing on her lips. “This is what newcomers should look like. On the workplace, you should know your place. Everyone present is your senior. Since you’re new here, don’t try to steal the spotlight.”
“Understood?” She assumed a lecturing posture.
Charlotte remained silent.
Bella frowned, “I’m teaching you how to behave. Do you have a hearing problem or are you mute?”
“Thank you for your guidance, miss.” Charlotte restrained her grievances and replied indifferently.
The woman in front of her was clearly asserting dominance over her. How could she not understand? But she had no choice. Seeing how others feared this woman, she knew she wasn’t simple in this small territory. There was no good outcome if she confronted her head-on.
Bella, feeling indignant at Charlotte’s indifferent attitude, thought, “Arrogant, huh? Alright! I don’t believe I can’t deal with you, you little wench! Let’s take it slow.”
Bella was the type who liked to be the center of attention, and Charlotte’s arrival inadvertently stole her thunder. Naturally, she had to teach her a lesson to make her understand whose territory this really was!!
In the workplace, it was all about intrigue, especially between two women…
“Finish sweeping and then get lost,” she waved her hand disdainfully, full of contempt.
Charlotte left directly.
She made a mental note of today’s incident. Since this woman was so hostile towards her, she didn’t need to be polite to her in the future.
A day passed like this.
On her first day at work, Charlotte felt incredibly exhausted-not physically, but mentally. Being new, there were just too many trivial things to handle. It greatly affected her mood. However, at least she had a job now, making life a bit more fulfilling!
As it was nearly time to finish work, she rubbed her slightly dry eyes and called Quentin, “Can you come pick me up after work tonight?”
Quentin chuckled, “I’m on my way. I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes.”
“How did you know when I finish work?” Charlotte was surprised.
She didn’t think she had told Quentin about it.
Quentin smiled faintly, “I wanted to know. There’s always a way to find out.”
Charlotte pursed her lips.
“Alright, I’ll go downstairs and wait for you. I’ll hang up now.”
Charlotte quickly packed up her things and hung up the phone.
Outside Spicurity Group’s gate, Charlotte, carrying a handbag, waited for Quentin to arrive, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
“Charlotte!”
At that moment, a male voice sounded behind her. Charlotte turned around to see Deandre approaching with a smile.
It had to be said that Deandre was quite good-looking and a workplace elite. For some young women who had just entered society…
He had quite the charm.
And to him, Charlotte was just one of those young women.
“Mr. Chandler,” Charlotte greeted respectfully.
Deandre glanced at his watch and asked, “Waiting for a ride?”
He heard that Charlotte had taken a taxi to work today. Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
“Mm-hmm,” Charlotte nodded.
“Waiting for a ride is troublesome. It’s not easy to get a taxi here. How about I give you a lift?” He pressed a button, and the lights of a nearby BMW lit up.
Deandre smiled, “I bought it not long ago, but my salary is too low, and the maintenance of this car is expensive. I hardly dare to drive it. It’s tough being a wage earner.”
