And with that, Gabriel continued his way toward the meeting room without saying another word. Caleb quickly followed behind him.
Once Gabriel had left, Frank let out a long sigh and walked up to Xochitl. With a sullen face, he said, “From tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to come to work anymore.”
“Mr. Frank, can’t you please help me convince President Jones to reconsider?” Xochitl’s eyes were already turning red.
But Frank was unmoved by her tears as he remained serious and said, “I’ve already reminded you that you should be working during office hours. Pack your things and leave now.”
Xochitle started to unwillingly pack her things, which included snacks that filled a large carton.
Two colleagues who were on good terms with Xochitl comforted her, telling her to calm down and that she could look for another job.
Xochitl glanced at Serenity and harshly said, “I simply don’t have a backer, unlike someone we know in this office.”
After Xochitl left, everyone returned to their posts and continued working.
Serenity didn’t need Frank to remind her of her place as she immediately put away items that had nothing to do with work. Otherwise, she would end up like Xochitl.
After another hour of working, Serenity stretched her neck and was about to go to the washroom when her phone rang. It was a call from Caleb, asking her to copy a document from Gabriel’s computer to be sent to the meeting room.
She took the USB and entered Gabriel’s office. She logged onto his computer using the password that Caleb had given her. She found the information on the computer and copied it into the USB.
Serenity walked over to the meeting room and stood outside the door. Taking a quick peek through the glass window of the door, she saw the company’s senior leaders sitting around the meeting table while Caleb set up the projector.
Meanwhile, Gabriel sat at the head of the table, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, exuding the aura of a king.
No one came out to take the USB drive, so she decided to send it in.
She pushed the door open and entered, causing everyone in the meeting room to look at her in unison. For a moment, she was stunned, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.
Seeing this, Caleb walked around the conference table to the door and took the USB from her hand. He gratefully said, “Thank you, but I still need your help.”
She felt a little embarrassed. She was the assistant of the main secretary, so it was normal for Caleb to be ordering her around. “How can I help.”
“Help me take down the meeting minutes.” Apparently, the assistant secretary who usually took the meeting minutes had gone to make coffee and had yet to come back, and Caleb would be busy handling the presentation.
“No problem.” She followed him to the projector and stood in the corner, ready to take down the minutes.
The finance director continued to report the company’s monthly and seasonal situation. As Gabriel listened on, his initially indifferent face started to show a hint of impatience.
The finance director knew how to read someone’s face, especially Gabriel’s, so when he noticed Gabriel’s frown, he immediately concluded his presentation.
Gabriel reached out to get his coffee but found the spot empty. He frowned again.
Serenity immediately put down the meeting minutes and quietly left the room to make coffee.
As soon as she stepped out of the meeting room, she bumped into the assistant who had gone to get Gabriel’s coffee. The coffee cup in the assistant’s hand splashed on Serenity’s clothes.
The freshly brewed coffee was still very hot and Serenity was only wearing a professional shirt. The heat of the liquid hurt so much that she sucked in a cold breath.
The assistant completely ignored the pain in Serenity’s face and said in distress, “Why am i so unlucky today? This is the third cup of coffee I’ve brewed..”
