Raeleigh was later taken to Jepherson's office to be penalized. She stood there the whole morning and had been mulling about in her own thoughts.
Jepherson was busy with his own business affairs.
In fact, Raeleigh had always known that what the engineer had said was true. She realized that the construction team was very experienced. Although she didn't major in interior designing for cars, she was no less capable than the engineer, in theory.
But why hadn't she refuted him? She wanted to appear modest to her superior in the company.
But all that got messed up by Jepherson.
No one would dare to teach her anything then.
After standing there for the entire morning, Raeleigh had almost gone numb. Jepherson was finally finished with his work and looked up at her. "That lesson was quite a matter of fact. Do you understand what it means?"
"I do."
"So, even though you knew, you still listened to him?"
"I just feel that he had no ill intent. I will have to work with him in the future, and it wouldn't be good to offend him."
"Hmph! So, you were thinking long-term." Yet, it was fine to offend him?
His face looked gloomy. He stood up and walked to the side of the room. He poured a glass of water for Raeleigh and said, "You are the chief designer of the Richards Group. There is no need for you to learn anything from them. If you want to learn something, then I can teach you."
Raeleigh looked at him. "But he's an engineer?"
"Do you need to see my engineering certificate?"
Raeleigh shook her head with a sad look.
"Let's head back."
He turned around and looked at his watch. Raeleigh had just walked to the door when he stopped her. "Have lunch with me."
This was an order. Raeleigh couldn't refuse.
After saying yes, Raeleigh walked out of the office and went back to her own office.
The day before, because of her, some people were let go. That morning, there was a lot of gossip in the company. Right then, since Jepherson had offended the engineer, would she be able to do anything else in the future?
Back at the door of her office, Raeleigh didn't notice when a woman passed by.
Raeleigh stopped and looked at her. The woman looked at her with contempt and turned away.
According to their employee tag, she was a designer as well, but she hadn't noticed her before.
There was no one else around her, so she didn't ask about it.
After heading back to her office for some brief reflection, she accompanied Jepherson to lunch that afternoon. She later learnt that her name was Stella. She was a designer who was forced to join the Richards Group.
Raeleigh felt a sharp sting whenever she thought about Stella.
How could she say it?
When she introduced herself, she looked at everyone with a warm smile. It was her especially dignified, elegant posture and appearance which made countless people feel refreshed.
She had graduated from overseas. Her family was related to the Richards Family. It was known that her grandmother and Marissa were good friends.
She came to the Richards Group for an internship, but she worked hard and was very sincere. As soon as she joined the company, she was admired and loved by many people.
