Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Kicking Someone When They’re Down
Charlotte Thompson stood her ground, a detached look in her eyes as she stared at Cindy.
She was somewhat looking forward to Cindy’s choice.
"I’m sorry, Miss Thompson, I shouldn’t have questioned your professional abilities." Eventually, Cindy succumbed.
Reluctantly, she apologized to Charlotte and even made a symbolic bow.
Her face was pale, as if she had swallowed a fly - nauseating whether dead or alive.
Cindy’s apology was not very loud, but the office was small and the colleagues outside the door heard everything clearly, shaking with the shock of it.
They had been in the company for a while and had never heard Cindy apologize to anyone.
Cindy was usually arrogant because of her position as chief design director, always acting superior.
The man touched his ear to make sure he wasn’t hearing things wrong.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the first time Cindy had ever bowed to a subordinate.
Once he was sure that this scene was real, he ran back to his office area like a madman, wanting to announce it to the world.
"Latest news, Cindy apologized to Charlotte Thompson!" The man excitedly relayed this news to everyone.
His colleagues were looking at him with disbelief, half-skeptical about his words.
"Impossible, Cindy is such a proud person."
"Exactly, I would believe it if you said Charlotte apologized to Cindy."
"Ah, don’t listen to the office gossip, sometimes it’s not true. It’s already nice enough if Cindy doesn’t swallow Charlotte whole, let alone apologizing..."
The crowd chuckled, no one took his words seriously, and just thought of it as a joke.
"It’s true, Mr. Battleson was there, nothing is absolute." He almost swore to the sky.
This confident guarantee made everyone somewhat more convinced.
They looked at each other, their curiosity aroused, and everyone became impatient.
"Seeing is believing, let’s go take a look." One of the more courageous ones excitedly suggested.
Inquisitive glances kept shooting towards the office area, making Cindy feel as if she had been stripped and judged by the crowd.
Those who wanted to find out the truth didn’t dare to be too obvious, only sneaking glances.
The office door seemed to have a sign "Polite onlookers, please do not feed" hung on it.
Cindy felt surrounded by embarrassment, wishing she could bury herself in a hole.
Or perhaps change cities, but her pride wouldn’t allow her to retreat.
She straightened her chest and lifted her face, still proud.
That’s right, she has to face them with head held high.
"OK, I accept your apology." At these casual words from Charlotte, Cindy felt plunged straight back into hell again.
These words also fell clearly on the ears of the employees outside. Several people froze on the spot as if they had been struck by lightning.
It was all true!
After they snapped out of their shock, they scattered in a hurry, afraid that Cindy would target them, making their future days unbearable.
"I told you Cindy apologized to Charlotte, but you wouldn’t believe me!" The man who discovered it first was excitedly sharing his accomplishment with others.
He looked smug, as if Cindy had apologized to him.
Seeing is believing, so this time everyone believed him, and no one else doubted his words.
"Oh my God, I just saw Cindy’s face turn black, it seemed like she was going to eat someone."
Remembering Cindy’s complexion and expression, the employee shivered. It was terrifying.
"A dignified chief design director, laid low by a newcomer and brought Mr. Battleson into it. Tsk tsk..."
The woman paused for a moment, looking pleased, then continued: "It’s so satisfying. I’d like to see how she bosses us around from now on."
