Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Adele received the task. She contacted the manufacturers she had worked with before. After arranging the meeting time, she was ready to move her things to the office.

When she packed up her things, the surrounding colleagues all looked at her and some even gathered together to discuss it.

“What background does she have? I heard that the intern under her Jacquelin, was fired because she had offended her. It’s terrible!”

“Is that so? I was wondering why I didn’t see Jacquelin these days.”

“…”

All kinds of random voices entered Adele’s ears. She frowned, quickly packed up her things, and walked towards her office with the cardboard box in her arms.

She knew in her heart that her promotion indeed did not conform to the company’s system. Now that things had come to this, the only thing she could do was meticulously take up her work.

At the thought of this, Adele was full of motivation. She took the mission list and read it again, planning to go out to meet the manufacturer and discuss the order.

The document stated that she could choose two employees from the department to go out for the mission together, but unfortunately, no one was willing to accompany her.

Seeing that no one responded, Adele took a deep breath and continued to ask, “Is there anyone who has a relatively idle mission today? Come with me and we will be back soon.”

Everyone in the public office lowered their heads as if they had not heard anything at all. The atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

Adele took a deep breath and walked directly to a colleague. “Shirley, can you accompany me?”

Shirley was the most enthusiastic girl in the department, and she had a good relationship with Adele before. Now, under such circumstances, Adele could only ask for her help.

Shirley hesitated and was about to speak, but suddenly a voice came from the side, “Shirley, have you sorted out the report? It’s urgently needed!”

Adele looked over and saw that Grace was walking toward them.

“Sister Grace, it hasn’t been done yet.”

“I’m sorry, Adele. I haven’t finished my work yet,” she said, looking at Adele apologetically.

“It’s fine. You can do your work first,” Adele said softly.

Grace walked over and asked, “Adele, what’s wrong? Are you looking for someone to go out on a mission together with you?”

“Yes, I’m afraid that I can’t do it by myself.” Adele nodded.

Hearing her words, Grace burst into laughter. “Adele, you are no longer the little clerk from before. Now that you are the administrative assistant, you should do these things yourself. Besides, everyone is so busy.”

Her voice was not loud, enough for the surrounding colleagues to hear it clearly. Some gloating people even laughed in low voices, waiting to see Adele make a fool of herself.

Adele’s cheeks were burning hot after being told such a thing in front of everyone.

A moment later, she took a deep breath. “Sister Grace, you are right. I will go now.”

After that, she turned around and walked out of the Administrative Department.

She knew that there should be usually two or three people who went out to do such a job. However, since no one was willing to go with her this time, she had to complete the task alone.

After leaving the company, Adele went directly to her previous business partner.

Adele came straight to the point, “Mr. Gostick, I came here this time to order some goods for the holiday. We have cooperated before. This time, I intend to continue ordering goods from your company. The price is still the same as last year. What do you say?”

When Mr. Gostick heard the specific price, his face became a bit serious. He casually flipped through the report list and immediately shook his head. “I’m afraid we can’t sell at this price.”

Seeing this, Adele hurriedly said, “Mr. Gostick, the budget our company gave this time is still according to last year’s…”

“Ms. Wes, right now, the prices in the entire country are rising. It has already been a year. We definitely can’t sell them at the same price as before.”

“But this year, our demand is much bigger than previous years…”

“Ms. Wes, I have already said that we definitely can’t sell at this price. Why don’t you go back and report to your superiors? If you can accept a higher price, come to me again.”

After Mr. Gostick finished speaking, he got up and left.

Adele didn’t expect Mr. Gostick to be so determined that he refused to continue the conversation.

She had lost the first battle!

Adele sighed and had no choice but to pick up the documents and be ready to go to the next company.

Having dealt with quite a few companies in succession, she found that almost no one was willing to sell goods according to the price they offered.

Only then did Adele realize that it was not as simple as she had imagined. The budget given by the company was limited, and the price of the goods was not low. She felt she had been stuck in the middle.

After an entire day, Adele was like a frosted eggplant, dragging her tired body back to the company.

On the first day of her return to work, this was really a bad beginning.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

After walking tens of thousands of steps, both of her feet had had blisters on them. Every step she took made her heel hurt.

Slowly walking into the company’s hall, and before reaching the stairs, Adele heard a noisy sound behind her.

She turned around and saw a group of people walking toward her. The one who walked in front was Damon. Behind him were four or five men in suits. They seemed to be the higher-ups of the company.

The group of people quickly walked over. Adele stood still in the same place and her gaze was locked on Damon as it moved along with him.

Damon was talking to the man beside him. He inadvertently turned his head and saw Adele. His gaze suddenly paused. Two seconds later, he shifted his gaze and continued walking forward.

Adele looked at their receding figures and couldn’t help but sigh in relief. She was worried that Damon would notice something unusual about her.

Returning to the office of the Administrative Department, Adele took off her high heels. She looked at the bloody wound on her heel and couldn’t help but frown.

If she had known that she was going out for so long, she should have worn flat shoes!

After a while, the supervisor, Corine, suddenly called and asked her to send a document to the president’s office.

Adele didn’t have time to treat her wound. She hurriedly took the documents and was about to go to the president’s office.

Halfway there, she realized that if she went to the president’s office like this, she might meet Damon and he might even see that there were blisters on her feet!
