Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Charlotte Thompson, wait for me!
"Serves her right!"
Calm was restored in Cindy’s office, while the outside office area was buzzing with chatter. This was precisely the effect Charlotte Thompson wanted.
As the saying goes, those who are undeserving of their position will face calamity. Cindy was already unpopular, and now she’s facing a situation where everyone is rushing to push her down.
A mocking smile flickered at the corner of Charlotte’s mouth, but it disappeared in a blink.
She admitted, she purposely said those words when there were many people around, letting everyone know that Cindy apologized to her.
Ideal for warning those who change their stance with the wind.
Anyone thinking of causing trouble under her, Charlotte Thompson, can think again.
In the end, Cindy still owes an apology to Coco, but after the pleasure of successful revenge, Charlotte wasn’t bothered anymore.
She was able to make her arrogant head bow to her, thanks to Justin Battleson’s stern authority.
Charlotte and Cindy were of similar ranks, so having the latter bowing and apologizing to her was understandable.
But forcing her to apologize to Coco, an assistant, would be exceedingly difficult. Cindy would never agree, Charlotte knew it as clearly as she knew her own heart.
"Let’s go back to work." Without paying any attention to Cindy’s gloomy face, Charlotte led Coco away.
Once Charlotte left, there was no reason for Justin Battleson to stick around and waste words with Cindy. He, too, turned and left gracefully.
It was Michael Richard, who left only after casting a warning glance at her.
Had it not been for Cindy’s drama, he would be in his comfort zone enjoying his air-conditioning, instead of enduring Justin Battleson’s low pressure.
Cindy opened her mouth to explain but couldn’t utter a word. She could only watch helplessly as Justin Battleson and Michael Richard walked away.
The office was suddenly left with only her.
Her legs gave way, and she slumped into the chair as if drained of all strength.
She was so close!
She was almost fired!
And the one to blame was Charlotte Thompson.
Her lily-white hand clenched into a fist, the sharp fingernails digging deep into her palm.
Cindy seemed oblivious to the pain, only clenching harder, her eyes turning bloodshot, and her face menacingly contorted.
"Charlotte Thompson, you wait for me."
These words were ground out from between Cindy’s gritted teeth.
Cindy’s outward apology to Charlotte did not signify a reconciliation between them.
Charlotte understood this, so when Coco thought she could peacefully work with Cindy, Charlotte ruthlessly shattered her illusion.
"You’re too naive, the apology from Cindy was not heartfelt. Who knows what she might do in the future."
"What? Then wouldn’t you need to be more cautious, Sister Charlotte?"
"So, I don’t intend to have a cordial relationship with her. As long as everything is fine on the surface, that’s enough."
As long as she doesn’t affect normal work, Charlotte won’t be bothered about any small issues.
Coco nodded in understanding.
Meanwhile, in Cindy’s office.
The spacious room remained undisturbed for the entire afternoon.
To be precise, people were too scared to disturb her.
Who dares to be the first to be affected in such times?
Alone, Cindy sat in deep thought, concealing her anger that continued to seep out.
Before Charlotte arrived, she held the most power in the design department.
And now? Things have changed!
After today’s incident, people might start to fear or reverence her power.
Even if the respect isn’t genuine, this had already severely threatened her position.
When her fingers left the palm, they left depression marks in the shape of m crescents. A little more force, and it would have bled.
No, she needs to think of a solution...
Right, Evelyn Curtis!
