Chapter 215
Chapter 215
Next morning, Olivia appeared at the office full of energy.
It was a stark contrast compared to her colleagues with their bloodshot eyes and tired faces. It was like a human walking into a group of zombies.
It was like she didn’t remember the insults yesterday. Olivia greeted Norma politely, “Good morning.”
Her bright smile annoyed Norma.
Norma grabbed a cup of coffee and went back to her desk. She then muttered sarcastically, “Some people sure have it easy.”
Olivia didn’t let it slide. She said innocently, “I wanted to take part in the planning. But you guys thought I was new and was afraid I might leak the proposal.
“You didn’t even letin the meeting. Don’t act like it’s my fault now.”
Olivia’s words triggered Norma’s anger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe threw her documents on her table and said, “Olivia Fordham, what the hell are you talking about?”
Olivia shrugged and said, “Nothing, just that you’re a hypocrite.”
“Olivia Fordham, you better watch your mouth. Who do you think you are, talking tolike that?”
Sophia interrupted their argument and said, “Stop yelling! I heard you from a distance away. Are you animals?”
Norma quickly ran to Sophia and played the victim. “Ms. Linden, she was being arrogant and insulting her colleague.”
“Enough, stop making a scene. Do you want the other teams to make fun of us?” Sophia glared at Norma and said.
Norma still wanted to argue. But Sophia had already calmed down. “Olivia, stay back after work tonight. Cwithto negotiate a contract with Mr. Lincoln.”
She paused and added, “This is work”
She didn’t even give Olivia a chance to refuse. Olivia could tell that Lincoln was a tough nut to crack from the amused expressions of the on-lookers.
In the afternoon, Olivia heard someone say in the bathroom, “Mr. Lincoln is so perverted. Olivia is in for it tonight.”
“Tsk, Ms. Linden is a smart one. She’s getting a signed contract in exchange for Olivia. If Mr. Lincoln is happy and signs on, we’ll be able to overtake Team B.”
“If I were Olivia, I would be more humble. Why would she try to stand up for herself as a new employee?
“Everyone has been bullied like she has. She just had to be different, arguing with the team leader right from the start.”
“Maybe she really has a backer.”
“Impossible. Ms. Linden has already looked into it. Mr. Ingram doesn’t have a girlfriend. He doesn’t even have female friends. What backer could she possibly have?”
The two colleagues’ chattering faded into the distance. Olivia cout from the cubicle.
She laughed to herself at the thought of Sophia using her as leverage for a contract.
She was wiping her hands when she noticed a cleaner taking out the trash.
She approached her and asked politely, “Aunty, sorry to disturb you. May I ask if there is a vacancy in the cleaning crew? Comment by soonyoung gu: does aunty need westernisation?? do americans use aunty
“My mom is unemployed. I’d like for her to try applying for a job here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe cleaner said with a friendly expression, “That’s fine. I think we aren’t hiring right now. But I’ll keep an eye out for you.”

“Thanks, Aunty.” Olivia took out a new hand cream from her bag and said, “Aunty, if there ever is a vacancy, just letknow. This is a small token of appreciation. Thank you for your help.”
“It’s nothing. I just have to ask around for a bit.” The cleaner didn’t refuse Olivia’s gift.
They talked for a little bit more, and then Olivia asked the question she had on her mind, “Aunty, is the cleaning crew
responsible for cleaning Mr. Miller’s office?”
“Don’t even think about it. His cleaner is handpicked by himself. That’s not one of us.”
“What does that mean? I saw a cleaner wiping his bookshelves when I was handing him a proposal yesterday.
“I thought it was weird. Why was there a cleaner there when Mr. Miller was working?”
“Young lady, you may not know this, but she has quite the background.”
