Chapter 937: Chapter 937: I Don’t Want You to Work So Hard
However, Florienna Ellis didn’t care at all. She turned her head to look at the person who had just spoken and propped her chin with one hand.
"If this draft can’t be completed, the whole group won’t meet the standards. Now I can’t do it, and Elijah Walker is the team leader, so helping a team member shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Florienna Ellis spoke with reason and evidence.
"It’s clearly your own task that you can’t finish, and now you have the nerve to bother others!"
Florienna remained unmoved, even handing over her design draft: "Since you’re so concerned about the team leader, why don’t you help the team leader revise the draft?"
The employee who had been complaining hesitated upon seeing the design draft and eventually turned back to work.
A look of disdain curled the corners of Florienna’s mouth, and then she turned to the designer, Elijah Walker, "The capable take on more responsibilities, right?"
Elijah Walker clenched his hand tightly but, in the end, took the design draft.
Florienna immediately flashed a radiant, sweet smile and said, "Thank you, team leader."
She then picked up her phone and started texting someone.
About an hour and a half later, apart from Florienna’s design draft, all the other manuscripts had been revised. The employees who completed their work could naturally leave, while Florienna had already disappeared without a trace.
In the end, the office was left with only Elijah Walker.
"Team leader, we’re heading out."
The junior staff slung their bags over their shoulders, waved at Elijah Walker, then left with their friends, not able to resist whispering to each other.
"Florienna is way out of line. She actually pushed her own unfinished work onto the team leader, and it’s because of her we had to work overtime today."
"What can we do about it? She got the job through her connections."
"Having connections doesn’t give her the right to be so arrogant. Doesn’t Mr. Battleson care at all?"
"How does Mr. Battleson have time for these trivial matters? Let’s get going or we’ll miss the last bus."
...
Meanwhile, in the office, Charlotte Thompson finished the last piece of the manuscript. She glanced at the time and stretched her somewhat stiff neck.
It had been a long time since she had stayed late at work, and unexpectedly, it had dragged on until now.
"Hard work."
Noticing Charlotte’s movement, Justin Battleson set aside the tablet he had been using to work on files, approached her, and spoke with concern.
"In the future, let me take care of these things."
Justin Battleson truly couldn’t bear to see Charlotte so exhausted.
"This is my responsibility. Why should I pass it on to you?" Charlotte smiled at Justin, even though compared to her, Justin had many more responsibilities.
"I don’t want you to work so hard," Justin pulled Charlotte into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"It’s just for a while. It’ll be better after this month," Charlotte said.
After confirming that all the documents were correct, Charlotte and Justin left the office, ready to head home.
However, Charlotte was surprised to find that the lights in the employee work area were still on as she passed by. She had clearly heard the employees leaving.
Feeling a bit perplexed, she thought about the manuscripts she had rejected earlier in the day and couldn’t help but walk over to take a look.
To her surprise, the person working overtime was Elijah Walker, the team leader of Group B.
"Designer Walker? Why are you still working overtime?"
Charlotte looked at the manuscript in Elijah’s hands with furrowed brows.
Apparently so engrossed in his work, Elijah hadn’t heard the footsteps of Justin and Charlotte. Startled by Charlotte’s voice, he jumped.
