Chapter 34
After Olivia returned, she showed Kimberly how Jaxon probed her in Hidden Gem. The funniest part
was that she could imitate Jaxon’s dumbfounded expression.
Kimberly, who was sitting beside her, had already doubled over in continuous laughter.
What surprised Kimberly was that Jaxon actually began to suspect her.
She wondered, ‘Am I really that bad at lying?”
To be honest, Olivia blew her mind as the former displayed such excellent and remarkable acting
talent.
Kimberly started to feel sleepy and thought about her battle of wits and courage at the company
tomorrow. She bid Olivia goodnight and prepared to return to her room.
She had a deep and peaceful sleep.
Unlike her laziness during weekends, her biological clock quickly sprung into action during weekdays.
On weekdays, she usually got up early, quickly created a to-do list, and visualized her day’s work on
the list.
Of course, she was the CEO, so she did not need to be involved in such tasks.
Someone else would be more scientific and meticulous in their thinking than she was. That was also
one of Frederick’s responsibilities.
However, she did not like things to be too standardized, where she felt like a robot, and others dictated
what she should do next.
Everything was in her control. At the end of each day, it not only increased her efficiency but also saved
her energy.
Kimberly had never been someone who liked to arrogate power to herself. She was more than willing
to delegate authority confidently to those she trusted.
By doing so, she could help train individuals and assist the group in nurturing more employees capable
of taking on a leading role.
The most crucial aspect was it was equivalent to freeing herself and promoting a joyful work-life
balance, an attitude she had always advocated,
After having breakfast, she went upstairs and changed into a pink suit paired with nude high-heels. She
looked professional yet retained a touch of youthfulness, giving off a
relaxed vibe.
She used to be an employee, so she definitely knew Mondays could be quite stressful.
That was a demarcation point-from idle to busy, from happiness to pain, which was all so subtle.
A person’s attire was of utmost importance, both to themselves and to others.
So, she chose a warm-toned outfit that day, with minimal makeup, exuding the charm of the sweet girl
next door.
As she entered the company, everyone who saw Kimberly stopped and greeted her respectfully.
Kimberly responded with a gentle smile. She took the private elevator under Frederick’s company and
soon arrived at her office.
“Ask Ms. Broomhead from the HR department to come to my office.” When she recalled. that Whitney
would be joining the company soon, she wanted to make some
preparations in advance to avoid any issues.
Sophie Broomhead was a woman with very short hair, dressed in standard business. attire, and had a
very professional appearance.
Upon receiving the call, she swiftly made her way to the CEO’s office, wasting no time at all. That was
her working style.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she trotted forward, almost jogging. When she reached the
door, she paused briefly to adjust her attire. Then she politely knocked on the CEO’s office door.
“Please come in.” Kimberly’s voice came through.
With Kimberly’s permission, Sophie entered the CEO’s office and sat in the chair opposite Kimberly.
“Whitney is my cousin and the daughter of Uncle William. She’ll be reporting to the company today for
work. Please arrange for someone to orient her. Specifically, let’s start her off in the design department,
beginning as an assistant, Kimberly spoke decisively and stated her requirements clearly.
As an astute individual, Sophie would naturally carry out the task diligently when Kimberly had
personally given the instructions.
Yet, she also understood that Whitney probably was not an easy person to deal with since Kimberly
personally assigned her the task and considered some rumors the former had heard.
With that in mind, she truly appreciated Kimberly for being proactive and not leaving things to chance,
ensuring the employees would not be in a difficult situation.
About fifteen minutes later, Frederick came in to report and discuss the schedule for the day.
The day’s schedule was packed. Apart from a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a subsidiary, which she
asked Frederick to attend on her behalf, she would show up to the rest of the appointments in person.
She was not very inclined to participate in such promotional events.
Now, the media was so powerful that anything could make headlines, even ordinary people. It was
even easier for CEOs of large corporations to grab the headlines.
It might inevitably cause some trouble if Christopher happened to see her by chance.
Although Kimberly and Christopher had signed a divorce agreement, the final procedures had not been
completed yet.
After that, she simply disappeared into thin air, and both the Xander and Levine families would likely be
curious about her whereabouts.
The most pressing matter now was to focus on nurturing her pregnancy, get the company on the track
she envisioned as soon as possible, and then leave it to professional managers to manage. Then, she
would retire to take care of her child at home.
Who would have thought that Kimberly, who was just in her twenties, would have those thoughts in her
mind?
In the conference room, Kimberly was brainstorming with several executives and. designers from the Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
design department, discussing how to secure the exclusive distribution rights for “LOVE.”
Based on the information they currently have, the first thing they needed to consider was the artwork.
Those who could present genuinely compelling and creative works. that aligned with the positioning of
“LOVE” would receive the entry ticket for further evaluation by the company.
Just when everyone was engaged in lively discussion, a commotion could be heard at
the door.
The young lady at the door could no longer contain the disturbance. “Miss, the boss is having a
meeting inside. You can’t enter.”
Whitney had never been treated with a cold shoulder before, especially in the Larson.
GO
family’s company.
Despite the friendly advice from the young lady, Whitney pretended not to hear it and was about to
barge in. She kept calling out, “Kimberly! Kimberly!”
Kimberly had witnessed Whitney’s willfulness before and had foreseen that day’s unreasonable
behavior from her as well.
It was almost noon, and there was still no sign of Whitney causing a scene. Kimberly thought she might
have been wrong in her prediction at that time.
Kimberly pondered, ‘It turns out this girl just arrived to report in with no sense of time. and a lack of
discipline. It seems I’ll need some strict measures in the future.
She got up and left, instructing everyone to continue their discussion and to produce satisfactory
designs within the next three days.
She walked steadily towards her office in high heels, paying no attention to Whitney.
Seeing that, Whitney was furious and hurriedly followed. Her high heels made a clattering sound in the
corridor, drawing everyone’s attention and sparking gossip.
As soon as she entered the office, she pointed directly at Kimberly without courtesy, “Kimberly, you’re
using your power for personal gain. Grandpa told me to come here to gain experience, while you
intentionally placed me in the design department, where I’m not even considered a designer but merely
an assistant.”
Staring at Whitney’s angry expression, Kimberly remained calm and responded with well-founded
justification, “I’m following Grandpa’s orders. He told you to come here. for experience, not to show off
your authority. Seeing the way you acted just now, it’s at far
cry from the demeanor of someone from the Larson family. If you’re not satisfied. being just an
assistant, well, the company is currently competing for the exclusive distribution rights of LOVE. So,
prove your capabilities.
