Cornelia walked into the CEO's office, respectfully asking, "Mr. Hartley, you needed something?"
Marcus snuffed out the barely lit cigarette in his hands, "At future formal events, the ladies of the company need to wear shoes. Ever thought about what kind of shoes you'd be wearing?"
Cornelia was touched that he remembered such a seemingly trivial matter, "Boss, thanks for caring about us girls!"
It's tough for women in the workplace. A lot of companies have some pretty stringent rules for female employees. Rarely does a big-shot boss like him consider the difficulties faced by female employees.
The longer she worked with Marcus, the more she believed that the rumors about him were pure hogwash. He's such a nice guy, there's no way he'd do anything to hurt his family.
She quickly pulled up a photo on her phone and showed him, "Boss, I think this style is great. It's simple and elegant, and comfortable to wear."
The shoes in the photo were the ones he just gave her. Seeing her high praise, Marcus was delighted, "You picked them that quickly?"
"Jeremy just gifted me a pair of leather shoes. They're both good-looking and comfy, I thought our female employees could wear something like this." Cornelia didn't realize how proud she sounded mentioning Jeremy, but Marcus noticed.
His mood improved even more, and when he's in a good mood, he's ready to make big moves, "Let's go with this style then. Also, the company will custom make two pairs of these shoes for each female employee. Get the relevant department to collect their shoe sizes."
Considering the size of the company, ordering two pairs for each woman, even at wholesale prices, would be a huge expense. This wasn't just showing his generosity, but also his understanding and respect for women.
"Alright, I'll shoot them an email right away." As Cornelia was about to leave, Marcus stopped her, "Write the email here, let me see it before you send it."
"Sure." Cornelia focused on her email, completely oblivious to Marcus's gentle yet firm gaze on her.
