The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 421

Thinking of this, Emma trembled even worse.

She opened her mouth, trying to explain. But her throat seemed to be stuck. She couldn't say anything

and cold sweat run on her forehead.

The door of the office was open. Since Damian was here, the entire department turned so quiet that

people could hear what happened from outside the door.

The designers of B Department looked at each other. Some of them sympathized with Emma, but

some gloating over her. After all, everyone who was employed in the Xavier Group design

headquarters had his or her own strength.

Emma was a person of intolerable personality. So many people hated her.

But for the newcomer Meredith, who seemed important, everyone had different thoughts. But they

agreed about one thing, even if Meredith was incompetent, they dared not to provoke her.

All the designers of B Department hid their thoughts at this moment. Sometimes, a strong backstage

was much more useful than strength. Any trick would cause bad results.

Although Meredith couldn't agree with Emma's approach, she understood her. She did not bear a

grudge against her. So, she said.

"Damian, let's take a look at the office first."

"I don't mind much about the decoration. I'd prefer simplicity. But I need a separate area for Ms. Ross,

who needs to stay in my office for a few days to hand over the work."

Damian didn't say anything.

At this moment, Emma wanted to kill herself. She thought she could finally get out of this. But what

Meredith had said made her anxious again.

Damian looked weird, thinking that Meredith might not know anything as this was the first time she had

handled these things. He had to explain to her.

"Director Mason, you are the director of B Design Department. Even if there is some work that needs to

be handed over, it should be the previous director, not a deputy director, hand over to you in person."

"Headquarters is not as idle as branches. There are a lot of projects. The reason why each department

has a deputy director is to help the director complete the project better."

"For director's decisions, the subordinates can only make suggestions or implement them. But they

can't refute them."

Meredith had worked as a director in J City. Although the process wasn't complicated as here, it was

roughly the same. Naturally, she knew who she would talk with.

But...

"Didn't Director Smith transfer?"

"Yes. His family is moving abroad, so the headquarters transferred him to a foreign branch. But there

are one month left. He will come to hand it over. He will be here this afternoon."

Meredith understood. So it was.

She didn't know that, nor did Emma who thought Director Smith had left and wouldn't come back.

Damian looked at Emma and said coldly, "Every deputy in the Design Department should be familiar

with the company system. Ms. Ross, I think you know nothing, don't you?"

Emma shook her head violently and said tremulously, "No, I, I..."

She immediately looked at Meredith and forced a smile, "Director Mason, I was just kidding. Please

forgive me."

At this point, she had no choice but to give in. She felt regret and hid the hatred for Meredith in her

heart.

Meredith did not know what she was thinking. She looked at Damian. Although she did not speak, what

she wanted to say was clear. She hated to put people on the spot.

Seeing this, Damian couldn't say anything more. He told the people behind him, "Clean up the mess,

open the windows and clean the room. Redecorate the room according to Director Mason's

instructions."

With Damian in charge here, Emma didn't say anything. She just wanted to stay away. It would be

better if Damian ignored her.

Although she had worked at the headquarters for a few years, she was a deputy director. The director

in charge would handle major matters. It was the first time she had experienced what happened today.

It freaked her out.

Director Smith was a woman in her forties. Most of the decorations in the office did not fit in with

Meredith in her twenties.

The landscape paintings hanging on the wall, the potted plants in the corner, and some ornaments on

the table were all replaced. Soon, the solemn office seemed fresh and warm.

Damian had completed his task. He thought and said, "Director Mason, the boss said that you just

came here. At first, there may be a lot of things you don't understand. If the assistant director is not

helpful. You can choose among the designers on your own."

"This is not a big deal. Director Mason can decide for yourself. There is no need to report to the

superior."

After saying this, he left with his people. Completely ignoring what he said would cause a storm in B

Department.

Even the position of deputy director, there were many people desiring for it. Everyone wanted a

promotion. What Damian said made the designers outside stir.

But for Emma, it was a bolt from the blue.

Although she was a deputy director, she was barely on the management team. Any management job

transfer would submit an application to the personnel department, who would review it and then report Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

it for approval.

However, according to Damian, Emma's staying or going depended on Meredith's decision, without

going through this process. That was to say Emma was subjected to Meredith in the company.

Emma's face was exceptionally pale and she was feeble.

After dismissing others, Meredith sat alone in the office. Thinking of what had happened in the morning,

she sighed. Even if she was well-prepared, she thought simply.

She had a feeling that the entire headquarters would know what Damian did today soon. At that time,

there would be all sorts of speculations about her relationship with Derek.

Although she knew the result, she could not blame Derek.

If she handled it herself, even if Emma was momentarily intimidated. Nobody could guarantee that she

wouldn't make small moves in the future.

In this case, it may not have a big impact, but there would be an endless small trouble. And if

something happened to her, it would directly affect the progress of design B Department.

Over and over again, she couldn't focus on designing and the workplace struggle would distract her

attention, which was clearly against her ideal.

Derek arranged Damian to come here, which could tackle the cause once and for all. Although there

would be various rumors later, it was inevitable.
