Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: Did I Disturb Your Good Time?
Finally, Teddy Carter couldn’t stand it anymore and opened his mouth, intending to speak up for Florienna Ellis.
After all, Florienna was one of his people; he still had to step in and defend her.
However, Charlotte Thompson nonchalantly raised her eyebrows and slowly turned her gaze toward him. "Florienna is part of your team now. With such a team member, shouldn’t you, as the team leader, take a moment to reflect on yourself?"
Charlotte’s words immediately shut Teddy Carter up.
At this moment, Florienna felt as though her dignity had been thrown to the ground by Charlotte, who then mercilessly stomped on it without leaving her a shred of respect.
Even though no one was openly staring at her now, Florienna felt as if everyone present was secretly mocking her.
Unable to bear such humiliation any longer, she covered her cheeks and sobbed as she fled the office.
Charlotte’s gaze subtly followed the silhouette of Florienna’s retreat. She lowered her head and coughed lightly, trying to suppress the smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
The feeling was simply exhilarating.
However, the net had been cast—it was up to the fish whether to swim into it willingly now.
"Let’s continue the meeting."
Finally, Charlotte raised her head, her gaze sweeping across the crowd with varied expressions, and began addressing the main agenda.
...
Having run out of the meeting room, Florienna took the elevator up a few floors. Whether it was from grievance or anger, her eyes were slightly reddened.
She soon found herself standing at George Robbins’ office door, and without even knocking, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Her sudden action naturally startled the two people in the room.
George Robbins lifted his head, about to get angry, but when he saw it was Florienna entering, his pupils shrank. He quickly turned and shoved the female employee who was nestled in his arms away before harshly scolding:
"You can’t even handle such a minor task properly? How did you even get hired by this company? Take it back and redo it!"
Although George barked his criticisms with a stern expression, the atmosphere in the office made Florienna feel something was off.
George then turned his gaze to Florienna, who had stormed in. His face turned even darker.
"Do you have any sense of decorum? Don’t you know how to knock? Who gave you the right to barge in like this? Which department are you from?"
Florienna, standing still, stayed silent.
At this moment, the female employee’s face still showed traces of redness. She cast an icy glance at Florienna, and a hint of resentment flickered in her eyes.
In the end, it was unclear what document she snatched from George’s desk, but she tidied her clothing with an air of arrogance before brushing past Florienna, leaving the office.
The sound of the door closing echoed, restoring silence to the office. Florienna raised her eyes toward George but didn’t make any further moves.
George quickly stood up and walked toward Florienna.
"Why did you suddenly come here without saying a word?"
As George spoke, he hurriedly walked to the door and locked it. While his back faced Florienna, an expression of disgust briefly crossed his face.
"You dared to shout at me just now!"
Florienna gritted her teeth fiercely as she stared at the now-facing George.
George yelped and quickly extended his hand to grab Florienna’s waist, but to his surprise, she shoved his chest and dodged him directly.
Though displeasure flashed briefly in his eyes, George hurriedly softened his tone and tried to appease Florienna:
"There were others present earlier, and you came in so abruptly that you startled me."
Upon hearing these words, a trace of coldness escaped Florienna’s lips. "Startled you? Or did I interrupt your little moment of pleasure?"
