Chapter 42: Great in bed
When she arrived at the Rouco Group, Estrella looked at the time, even though she got into Ricardo’s car, she was still ten minutes late.
The Ricardo guy was not afraid of being fired, but Estrella was different. Olivia was not happy with her, but she worked in Olivia’s department, so she would have problems in the future. It was hard for her to get this job, so she couldn’t quit because of her relationships with Olivia and Adam. Now she is no longer Miss Star, she has no right to be capricious.
Estrella grabbed her purse and jumped out of the car, running briskly to the elevator.
Here Ricardo had just gotten out of the car, and when he turned around, he had already lost sight of Estrella.
Estrella took the elevator to the 60th floor and took two deep breaths before exiting the elevator and walking quickly to the creative department.
Olivia had arrived some time ago and was pacing around the office, apparently waiting for her. When she saw Estrella enter, she raised her hand to look at her wristwatch and spoke in a cold voice, -Estrella, on your first day of work, you are eleven minutes and fifty seconds late. It seems that you are not very dedicated to this job.
Or did she think that, because she was Adam’s nominal -wife-, she could arrive late and leave early?
Olivia was clearly looking for trouble, so Estrella didn’t bother to explain, and nodded to admit her mistake, -I’m sorry, Principal Olivia, I won’t be late next time.
Olivia gave him a fierce look and ordered with a frown, “Andy, take Estrella to do the induction procedure!
Olivia’s voice wasn’t too loud, but it wasn’t too quiet either, but the entire creative department staff heard her.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
When Olivia’s assistant Andy took Estrella to the human resources department to go through the onboarding process, Estrella clearly heard the entire creative department whispering behind her.
-What’s going on, how did someone come straight to work? Isn’t this something that only happens in the marketing department?
-That’s right, what a complicated society, even our department has become like this.
-This Star looks familiar, I just saw her at the door, the car that brought her to work was a Porsche 918, how wonderful!
-No wonder she dared to be late for her first day at work, I’ve seen her attitude, she’s not afraid of getting fired!
…
Olivia listened to the gossip calmly and smiled triumphantly. She clapped her hands and said, “Everyone has seen it. Our department has a new colleague. Estrella is a new illustrator. Her identity is not simple. Please be careful.
There is something in Olivia’s words. When these people heard it, they knew that the head of the department did not like Estrella, that she was “mysterious”.
After Olivia turned and entered the separate office, there was another whisper in the office area.
The Creative Department is different from other departments, in this department there are especially many women. Three women can make a play, and the creative department has 30 female employees, which is comparable to the harem of the emperor.
…
After Estrella went through the entry formalities, she returned to the Creative Department with a badge around her neck.
As soon as she went to her work station, Andy came over to “invite” her with a formulaic smile, “Star, the director asked you to come to her office to explain your job duties.
Estrella nodded, got up and went to Olivia’s office.
Olivia tilted her head and was busy with the documents and said, -I heard that you have studied in Paris for three years and that your level of French should be quite good, right?
-Well, French level C1. Do you have any instructions, Director?
Olivia tossed one of the folders in front of her, “Here’s a French contract. Today is your first day on the job, there is not much to go on. Translate this French contract before you leave work.
Estrella took it unconsciously, but was puzzled, -But contract translation should be the work of the Legal Department or the Translation Department. If there is any mistake in my translation, who is responsible …-.
Before he could finish his words, Olivia interrupted impatiently, “What’s the matter, were you afraid to take responsibility the first day I went to work? I asked the Legal Department and the Translation Department in the morning. They are very busy right now. But this French partner is very important to us. This contract is also urgent. If we can’t sign the contract with the Frenchman tomorrow morning, we will lose this client. Star, I am your boss now, and if you think there is something wrong with the tasks I have assigned you, you are perfectly free to go to the president and complain.
Estrella clenched her fist and picked up the French contract, “I know, I will translate this contract before the end of the day. But Director Olivia, if you think I’m relying on the president’s recommendation to work for the Rouco Group, you’re wrong.
Olivia shrugged her shoulders and laughed condescendingly, -Didn’t she.
Estrella pronounced some words that were not offensive at all, but very solemn, “Of course not, I will prove that I have the necessary capacity to do my job well. Besides, I will prove that Mr. Adam is right to let me work directly in the creative department.
Olivia’s face clouded over.
Estrella took the French contract in her hand and said politely, “If there is nothing to do with Director Olivia, I will go to work first.
As he headed for the office door, Olivia spoke with derision, “Do you think Adam will really be on your side? Don’t you understand what happened this morning?
Star paused, but did not turn, -I am certainly no match for you in that regard, willing to sacrifice even your own son. I admire your cruelty, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it in this life.
Hearing these words, a flash of anger flashed through Olivia’s beautiful eyes.
…
Inside the sink.
-That Star, she can’t be Mr. Adam’s mistress, can she?
-How is it possible, that Porsche in the morning is not even Mr. Adam’s car. Besides, you’ve been with the company so long, have you seen any subordinates that Mr. Adam has approached?
-That’s true, I always feel that our Adam is always a Gay, such a handsome man, without being married or in love, not even with a mistress, there must be something wrong with him.
-Who said that, isn’t he very close to that great star Micaela?
-I’m not sure about Mr. Adam, but I know the owner of the Porsche!
-Who is it? Tell me quickly!
-Our president’s own nephew, the heir to the Prats Group, Ricardo!
-Holy cow, no wonder Estrella dared to be late on the first day! So it turns out she’s having an intimate relationship with Ricardo Prats!
-I don’t think she has much ability either, I guess she’s great in bed. Director Olivia obviously doesn’t like her, Wait and see, it won’t be a few days, Director Olivia will definitely kick this Star out of the creative department!
That’s right, she is Señor Ricardo’s mistress, but our director Olivia is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rouco family.
Estrella sat on the toilet, listening to the gossip of the women outside. Only when they had moved away did she push open the door.
He was not surprised to see things like the exclusion of newcomers. After all, in a company as big as the Rouco Group, there was a lot of gossip.
He held up his phone and hesitated a bit before sending Adam a text message to explain what had happened in the morning….
I was not a scapegoat, I did not intend to scald Dante with boiling water, I wanted to make that clear.
