Yvonne deliberately spent her entire afternoon in the office. When she finished all the work she had in her hands, it was only three in the afternoon. There was still plenty of time before it was time to get off work.
Seeing that there was really no other way to delay it, she had no choice but to muster up her courage and pick up the phone's receiver, then dial the CEO's office.
After being promoted to the position of his personal secretary, she was given an office next to the CEO's office.
She had the entire room to herself.
The call was picked up very quickly, and she instantly tensed up. "M-Mr. Lancaster? It's me..."
"Prepare me a report of all the projects that the company has accepted in the past year and bring it to me before the end of the day." The man's cold voice came through the receiver and ignored her.
"All the projects?" Yvonne's eyes widened.
Was that a task that can be done alone by one person?!
"Do you have any other questions?" he asked coldly.
"N-No." Yvonne squeezed the receiver in her hand. Did she even dare to say anything else?
She was the one who offended Henry first so she couldn't blame anyone.
After hanging up, she was crestfallen.
All the projects...
It seemed like she wouldn't be getting off work on time today.
She continued working until night without even taking a break and she finally finished the report by nine.
Yvonne stretched her back, then quickly gathered up the documents and delivered them to the CEO's office. Everyone else was long gone from the office.
"Figures. I'm the only one working overtime. Hmph."
She muttered under her breath and left the documents on the table before returning to her office t o shut down the computer. She picked up her handbag, then trudged out of her workplace in exhaustion.
The streets were quite empty at night. She rubbed her sore waist while taking out her phone to book a cab.
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, no one accepted her booking.
"What rotten luck!”
She was fuming, but she had no choice but to wait at the nearest bus stop.
