Bella struggled to endure her inner delight, pretending to be angry as she pushed the speaker next to her. “Don’t talk nonsense, the director said that he has confidence in everyone, which means everyone has a chance.”
The director nodded. “Bella is right. Not only Bella, but all of you have a chance. Indeed, Bella was doing great in the news department that is why I have no worries for that department. So, the host for the entertainment department was still chosen from this department. Veronica Parker.” He announced.
Veronica froze. She raised her eyes and looked at the director in surprise.
“It’s up to you to take Lisa’s place and take charge of the show for Children’s second season.” The director said.
The smile on Bella’s face froze as well while the others couldn’t believe their ears.
“Director, is there a mistake? How could it be Veronica?” One person asked, voicing out everyone’s doubts.
Veronica also looked surprised. “Yes, Director, how come it’s me? I’ve only been doing this for a month or so, and I can’t compare with anyone else in this room in terms of qualifications. ”
The director had a certain a look on his face as if saying to Veronica that she didn’t have to act like this. He cleared his throat. “This was decided after careful discussion by various leaders. Besides, Veronica Parker and Lisa were in charge of Children’s first season. That is one of the reasons why Veronica was chosen. ”
The other director nodded. “Yes. Is there another person besides Veronica Parker, who is in charge of the first season of this cute baby show with Lisa, who can replace the previous host, no? We believe that Veronica Parker is absolutely competent, and it has nothing to do with the length of working hours she spent. When Bella first came to the news department at that time, did she not host a regular program for a month as well?”
Bella was speechless because what the director said was true.
Other people were even more unconvinced and unhappy. Everyone thought they were better than Veronica Parker!
But the boss had decided. They can only grind their teeth in anger.
Veronica stopped talking and pretended that she did not had a choice but to agree.
The truth was like this, an hour ago, when she arrived at the TV station and everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of Bella replacing Lisa, she went to the director.
She knocked on the door and entered the director’s office. The director saw her, and his next words astonished her. “Get ready, it’s a lot of work to replace Lisa. Also, go to the department and choose your assistant. ”
A stupefied Veronica was speechless. She did come here in hope of grabbing Lisa’s position, but she didn’t expect that the General Regulatory Commission would say it first. “Director, do you think I have the ability to replace her?”
“Of course! Lisa used to praise you in front of me, saying that you were smart and bright-eyed.”
Veronica would be a fool if she believed the director.
Lisa was a narcissistic person; how could she praise someone other than herself in front of the director?
Then there is only one possibility that someone had a say on this matter in advance.
She couldn’t think of anyone other than Nick Cage.
Veronica obviously wanted them to rely her talent. As a result, she ended up depending on him.
She chose Lucy as her assistant.
Lucy Underwood was the colleague who switched phones with her before.
The happiness on Lucy’s face could not be hidden. Not only did she got a promotion, her salary were ought to increase as well. How can she not be happy?
Veronica chose her because she was real, and she helped her before.
Good people deserve to be rewarded.
And evil had to be rewarded with the same evilness. Like Bella.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Bella was fuming. “What kind of thing is Veronica Parker? Oh, she was promoted after working more than a month in the TV station, and she was even the host of the entertainment department that everyone wanted to sit on. It really pisses me off!”
There was not a smile on Bella’s face. After all, she was humiliated by what happened in the conference room in the morning.
“Don’t talk about it. I think it’s because of the supporter behind her.” said the other person vaguely.
“You are referring to Nick Cage, the head of the KING Group? Forget it. I don’t know which blind person is spreading it around! How could he like her? Let’s just allow other people talk nonsense there. We can’t believe it! I think she’s having an affair with the director! ”
“It’s not an ingenious way to do something underhanded in order to climb the ladder. If you are involved with Bella, what can I do for Veronica Parker?”
“How can Bella be as disgusting as she is? ” When she wanted to keep talking, there was suddenly a noise from the cubicle door.
Veronica Parker came out and walked to the faucet without squint. She reached out her hand and automatically sensed the flow of water down.
The sound of the water was particularly abrupt in an unusually quiet atmosphere.
Bella and the other two were tense, embarrassed and guilty, as if they had been caught red-handed as thieves.
Veronica Parker, on the other hand, was focused on washing his hands as if they were nothing.
She washed her hands, drew paper and wiped them slowly.
After scrubbing, she threw the wastepaper was into the dustbin.
She turned around and looked at them with a smile on her face. “The next time you want to speak ill of others, don’t look for such a closed place, lest the walls have ears.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
She seemed to have no intention of blaming those who spoke ill of her.
On the other hand, the other people were unable to speak, and their face was unsightly.
“Veronica Parker!” Bella followed Veronica Parker, “Don’t take it to your heart. When I first joined the news department, I was almost gossiped behind my back. You know, some people always do this.”
“I didn’t take it personally, otherwise, I would have lost my temper just now. It doesn’t matter. I’ve been in the TV station for only a month, and I’m on my own in the entertainment department. If I hadn’t made achievements, it would have been unconvincing. ” Veronica Parker said.
“That’s good.” Bella breathed a sigh of relief. “I was afraid that you’d be angry. I am right before. You are no worse than Lisa. ”
“It was appreciated by the director, and I am very grateful. In fact, I want to go to the director and let me take the place of Lisa. I really am. ” Veronica Parker looked embarrassed.
“If you don’t have the ability, he won’t appreciate it for no reason!” Bella smiled. “Just accept it! But did you get in touch with Lisa? Why did she stop doing it? ”
“I got in touch.” Veronica Parker said, and then looked at Bella, “However, I didn’t expect it.”
Bella was startled, “What didn’t you expect?”
“I didn’t expect her to leave without telling me. I didn’t know until I came this morning. When I asked why she left her job, she didn’t tell me as if she was treating me as an outsider. ” Veronica Parker said helplessly.
Bella’s tense mood was relaxed. “Yes, it’s a pity that she left her job. It must be a private matter.”
Veronica Parker noticed the change in Bella’s eyes and smiled. “Yes.”
Nick Cage, the most powerful person of the KING Group, sat in a black seat, pushed aside the papers in front of him, and stood up.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. After confirming, Kay Tours came in and said, “Mr. Cage, all the information on Chloe Bowen is ready. Do you want to do it?”
With that, he raised his ring finger and habitually pushed his glass frame, only to remember that he was already wearing contact lenses.
Nick Cage put on his coat and stood at the window as he overlooked the city view. KING Group occupies the center of the prime location of capital, symbolizing status and unshaken wealth and power.
The sky was getting dark, the glass faintly reflected the outline of the long body of Nick Cage, deep and dark.
“Wait.”
Kay Tours is in a daze, “What is he waiting for?” he thought. However, Mr. Cage didn’t speak and he couldn’t ask, so, he had to wait for orders.
