Amelia cleared her throat before saying, “I didn't get to introduce him earlier, but this is Mr. Donald Campbell, a manager that the headquarters have sent to supervise our work. Hierarchy-wise, Mr. Campbell has a higher rank than me. Therefore, Mr. Campbell has the right to deal with your reimbursement of food expenses.”
At that, Donald glanced at Amelia, thinking, She's quite sly, isn't she? We're both supposed to be of the same rank, but why am I suddenly a rank higher than her here? It looks like she's about to redirect Chester's hatred toward me. That way, she'll get to sit at the side and watch the show unfold instead.
Donald had figured out what Amelia was trying to do, but he did not say anything about it.
First of all, he quite enjoyed Amelia's little tricks. Secondly, he did not like Chester either, so he did not mind helping her teach the man a lesson.
Yet, Chester stopped after hearing Amelia's introduction of who Donald was.
“Since he's a higher-up from the headquarters, let's forget about making the claim then. Boys, greet Mr. Campbell.”
Chester's swift change of attitude made Donald look at him in a new light.
Hm? Seems like Chester has a brain.
The workers then greeted Donald, who did not mind and went to take a seat in a corner.
Regardless of whatever transpired before the start of work, Amelia seemed like a completely different person once they started work. She was particularly professional as she made arrangements for Chester and his men.
In fact, Amelia would even supervise certain parts of the renovation.
Although Chester did not think that Amelia was impressive, he knew well the kind of character she had.
Therefore, as long as Amelia's request was not too outrageous, he would make amendments according to her requests. In a way, the two of them were working in tandem.
Not only did they not fall behind with the renovating process, but the renovations were done in excellent quality as well. They were basically an exact copy of what was in the proposal.
