Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Satire
Florienna Ellis, previously unsettled, heard Charlotte Thompson spill out a long discourse.
This caused her pupils to constrict, and a flicker of annoyance swept through her eyes belatedly.
Charlotte Thompson was intentionally trying to embarrass her in front of everyone.
The conversation between her and Charlotte Thompson had been quiet. People in the studio did not hear clearly, but all eyes turned their way, bustling with interest.
These gazes fell on Florienna, piercing her skin like needles.
This made Florienna tremble with anger.
"Oh dear, Miss Ellis looks unwell again? That really won’t do. Miss Ellis, you better head home and rest. Don’t come to work if you’re ill; you might infect others. Shall I request a few more sick days for you?"
Charlotte Thompson’s eyebrows raised slightly, the sarcasm in her words crystal clear.
Fiorienna bit her lower lip, shivering and unable to utter a word.
Charlotte Thompson was very pleased with such a reaction.
"From now on, when you all take leave because of illness, don’t come to the company until you have fully recovered. Otherwise, people might think we mistreat our employees."
Charlotte Thompson raised her tone.
People exchanged looks, all they could see was Florienna’s livid face.
What kind of person Florienna was, they all knew very well, just as they clearly understood whether she was sick.
Although some were unhappy, understanding the unspoken rules of the workplace, none wanted to stick their necks out.
And wasn’t Charlotte Thompson’s speech just now meant to target Florienna and warn everyone else?
Seeing that no one responded, Charlotte Thompson gently adjusted her slipping sleeve cuff.
"Remember to tell Mr. Carter when he returns, ask him to see me in the office tomorrow."
She paused, then whispered words that only they could hear near Florienna’s ear.
"Fiorienna, watch yourself."
After saying this, Charlotte Thompson turned and left.
She no longer cared about the expressions on the faces behind her.
At this moment, Florienna stood at the office door, neither entering nor retreating, and as she watched Charlotte Thompson’s diminishing figure, she fiercely made a mental note.
One day, she would make Charlotte Thompson pay it all back.
However, the currently defiant Florienna had forgotten her own expression earlier in front of Charlotte Thompson.
After leaving the designer’s office, Coco, somewhat puzzled, started to speak beside Charlotte Thompson.
"Sister Charlotte, Florienna obviously just came to work at this time, and with such a perfunctory excuse, how could you believe it?"
Coco had no mood to bear with him. Initially, Coco thought Charlotte Thompson would reprimand Florienna, but unexpectedly, Charlotte Thompson ultimately chose to drop the matter.
"Since he said he took sick leave, I should believe he was sick," Charlotte Thompson spoke slowly.
What Florienna did was not Charlotte Thompson’s concern. If not for still having some use for Florienna, the company would have probably fired her long ago due to past incidents.
"But..."
Coco hesitated, but Charlotte Thompson eventually shook her head at her.
This caused Coco to purse her lips: "How can such a reckless person exist in the company."
"Don’t worry, this situation won’t last much longer."
