"How about this? Director Mason, since you have just been transferred here, it will take some time for
you to become familiar with B Department's working process. You can move to this office when you can
get the hang of it. And it won't be too late. What do you think?"
Emma looked like she was doing it all for Meredith's good.
Meredith was not a fool. She certainly knew this was a trap hidden in Emma's nice words after second This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
thoughts.
What did she mean by saying "when you can get the hang of it"?
If she agreed, she would become an honorary director as long as Emma occupied her office and
arranged the work for B Department.
In this way, the so-called adjustment period would have no end.
She smiled, "Ms. Ross, as I said earlier, the headquarter has a strict and clear division between the
upper and lower levels. I was just transferred here. If the superiors find that B Department's two
directors are reversed, that's not proper and will also bring trouble to Ms. Ross."
She didn't mean anything else. But Emma felt that Meredith was threatening her with the top
management of the headquarter. She immediately looked gloomy.
Meredith ignored her anger. If she had taken back her power, she would have offended Emma, which
was inevitable.
She couldn't do as Emma asked her to do in order not to offend her. Then there would be no point in
her transferring over.
She continued, "Well, I'll temporarily set aside an area for Ms. Ross in my office. In three days, I'll try to
hand over the work. It's more efficient. What do you think?"
Emma thought to herself: How did I think? I thought the idea sucked.
She thought hard and wondered what she should do to make Meredith retreat. She already deemed
this office as her own.
She hated Meredith who were taking over her position.
But before she could come out with an idea, a design assistant rushed in, "Director Emma, Damian is
here."
There was only an assistant named Ann in the whole headquarter. Emma's face changed and she
immediately ran out to receive him regardless of Meredith.
Damian was Mr. Xavier's personal assistant and had been working with him for many years. No one
else in the whole group, except Mr. Xavier himself, could order Damian.
He was only second to Mr. Xavier in this group. Even the shareholders at the headquarter had to save
Damian's face.
In addition to Mr. Xavier, Damian was also the golden bachelor in the eyes of whole female employees.
Actually more people dreamed to be his girlfriend. After all, Mr. Xavier was a high and unreachable
rack.
In contrast, Damian was at least a little more approachable.
He actually came to Design B Department himself. Emma's heart was mixed with joy and worry as she
did not know why he came.
Meredith naturally thought of Damian. Was Damian came at this time because of her? Thinking of it,
she followed them out.
"Damian, it's a great honor for our B Department to have you ..." Emma's originally rigid face was now
smiling brightly.
Damian didn't need to pay attention to such an unimportant person like her. He looked around and saw
Meredith, who had just come out of the conference room. He curled his lips and walked towards her
with people behind him.
"Director Mason, today is your first day on the job. Boss asked me to bring someone over to see if you
need anything and to redecorate the office for you."
His words had a huge impact on the entire B Department, especially Emma. Her face instantly turned
pale.
What did Damian just say? Did the boss ask him to come over? Whom could Damian call the boss?
There was only one person.
There were usually two types of paratroopers. One had either strength or strong background. The other
type had both. Meredith obviously had a strong background.
Emma had asked more than once about who backed up her. But it never occurred to him that it was Mr.
Xavier.
Meredith blinked and looked at Damian doubtfully.
What Damian did and said was clearly supporting her and telling the others that Derek was standing
behind her. If anyone tried to make trouble for her, he should weigh up the consequence.
But Derek had said before that she needed to secure the position of design director with her own
strength. In that case, why did he ask Damian to come over?
Damian sighed in his heart. His words were not matched by deeds. Boss obviously still couldn't bear to
let Meredith face it alone.
Since yesterday, Mr. Xavier was absent-minded several times in his office. Today, he couldn't help but
send him over. Tut, tut.
Although she did not know the reasons, Meredith smiled bitterly in her heart that she did feel slightly
relieved when Damian arrived.
She was still not used to deception and blackmail in the workplace.
"I haven't been to my office yet. I need to see it and then decide whether to change the decorations. "
Meredith did not reject Damian. After all, both the office and the workplace were private spaces.
A comfortable environment was more conducive to work.
Meredith looked at Emma, "Ms. Ross, please lead us."
Emma snapped back to her senses and stammered, "No, no problem." She walked towards the office
and felt like she was stamping on the cotton.
The branches certainly couldn't be compared to the Design Department in the headquarter. Each
Design Department occupied a whole floor with a large area.
Emma led them to the office. Until she was standing outside the office door did she suddenly thought of
something. She widened her eyes and tried to stop them. But Damian had already pushed the door in.
She looked uncertain and followed in with a pale face.
Classical music was playing in the big office. The tea on the coffee table was fragrant and a few
women's coats and shoes were scattered on the sofa. There was a strong smell of perfume in the air.
Damian: "..."
He didn't show his anger but he already knew what was going on. He glared at Emma sharply, "Are you
the deputy director of B Department?"
Emma's face turned pale and her legs trembled. She could not speak for a moment and could only
nod.
"I remember Director Smith of B Department was transferred last week. And the new transfer notice
was announced three days ago. Could you please explain to me what these are?"
As he spoke, he ran his eyes over the things in the office, "Who made all this mess?"
At this moment, Emma was not as domineering as she used to be in the conference room. Her mind
became muddled and she had put aside the position of the director.
Today, this matter could be negligible or very serious. If the top really wanted to pursue it, she might not
even keep her position now.
