Ellinor was suddenly promoted and when she asked Balfour why, he just said it was because she was too talented to be wasted as a secretary.
That didn't sound like the real reason.
She glanced at Bartlett, who was sitting in the guest seat and sipping his coffee with a smile. She felt the promotion must have something to do with him.
After leaving the CEO's office, Quinton took her to the manager's office of the sales department and even had people redecorate her office.
Before leaving, Quinton thoughtfully said, "Ms. Mendoza, if you have any complaints about the office or need anything, just let me know. We can adjust it to your liking at any time."
Even Quinton's attitude toward her had changed!
Ellinor was very surprised and nodded, "Thanks; I don't need anything for now."
She sat in her office chair, which was indeed much more comfortable than the secretary's chair.
However, working here was inconvenient for her mission to approach Balfour and investigate her mother's affairs.
Bartlett knocked on the door of her office and walked in elegantly, "So, do you like your new office?"
Ellinor was expressionless; she came to the Howard Group not looking for a promotion or salary increase.
"Bartlett, tell me what you and Mr. Howard talked about; why did he suddenly promote me?"
Bartlett sat in a chair across from her desk, smiling at her, "I told him I want to pursue you, and hoped he could take more care of you because of me."
Ellinor was bored, "Stop kidding me; be serious!"
