Chapter 95 Hannah and Mary
Chapter 95 Hannah and Mary
Cooper Group had a long historical background.
It had started its career as a little bank a century ago, and the founder had earned a fortune and
relationships from the business. Since then, the forefathers had expanded their business into other
industries like restaurants, hotels, logistics, educations, and last but not least, the realty industry. The
Cooper Group had properties all over the country.
Famous buildings in Northfield, including shopping malls, residences, hotels, iconic buildings, were built
by the Cooper Group.
Hannah walked into a lift and pressed a button.
The job Miguel got for her was the Director of the Sales and Marketing Department. Her role was
mainly responsible for the sales of the projects of the company.
The reason why Miguel gave Hannah this role was because, firstly, Jane was the manager here and
her supervisor was the Director of the Sales and Marketing Department. The original director had been
appointed to be the General Manager of a branch. So the post was vacant at present; Secondly, the
part of sales was of paramount importance for a company. The core technology and professional
knowledge were only the abilities of a company, which would develop with the market, while the sales
and marketing part was more challenging. That would be a good chance for Hannah.
Working in the this department allowed one to understand the economic status and the marketing in no
time, and learn what talent the market needs.
No wonder Miguel had been so excited when Hannah said she wanted to work as the immediate
superior of Mary and he had accepted Hannah’s request right away.
It was exactly the same career direction Miguel had ever planned for Hannah before this.
The lift stopped.
Hannah walked into the office, which was a huge workspace.
It was not on the clock yet, but all the staff had already sat in their own space and started working.
Hannah headed to the reception counter of the office and asked politely, “May I know where’s the
Director’s office?”
“You’re looking for our Director?” the staff asked casually.
“No, I’m…”
The internal phone on the desk suddenly rang.
The staff picked up the phone and changed her tone, “Hi, this is Sales and Marketing Department.”
“Polly, Miss Cooper had already headed upstairs. Be sure to welcome her.” the person on the other
side of the phone sounded serious.
“Sure. I will head to the lift right away. May I know what Miss Cooper is wearing today?”
“She’s wearing a white shirt, black skirt and a khaki wind coat.”
“Understood.”
Polly hung up the phone. Then, she realized Hannah was still standing at the counter, so she said to
her, “I’m sorry, I have an important person coming today. If you’re looking for the director, head straight
after turning left in the open space, then you will see two offices at the end of the road. One of it has
the Director sign on it.”
Then she quickly walked away without looking at Hannah after finishing her words.
Hannah smiled and remained silent. She walked to the office as instructed by Polly.
It was easy to know how powerful Jane had been in the team. As a manager, everything she used was
way better than a director.
Hannah stopped in front of the Director’s office. She pushed the door and walked in.
Hannah was surprised at what she saw. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The office was a mess.
The last director probably left in hurry and the cleaner hadn’t even had the chance to clean up the
place this morning.
Hannah walked out of the office after a while. She stopped a cleaner when she saw one walking past
her, “Hi, can you please help to clean up the room?”
“I’m busy,” the cleaner refused to help, “I haven’t even had the room beside cleaned. I don’t have time
to clean another one. You have to either clean it yourself or wait for me to come after cleaning up the
other room.”
Then, the cleaner left in hurry.
Hannah was somewhat offended and annoyed.
She walked over to another room and saw a sign of ’Manager of the Sales and Marketing Department’
hanging on the door.
So, it was Mary’s room.
Hannah and Mary started on the same day.
And those people chose to prepare the place for Mary first.
There were many people going in and out of Mary’s office. It was clean and neat. They even put
flowers on her desk.
Her office was well-decorated.
After a while, a somewhat nervous woman walked past Hannah and said from afar, “We all ready?
Miss Cooper is almost here. She’s now getting to know our staff.”
“Yes,” the person in charge said, “All set.”
“Then come to the entrance and welcome her. Right, stand on both sides of the door, we need to bow
and greet her once she arrived.”
“Yes.”
The woman was leaving Mary’s office. Suddenly, she rushed back in.
Hannah saw her took a bottle of perfume out of her clothes and sprayed it in the air. Then, she left
hurriedly.
Hannah also left the office and stood aside.
The staff lined up beside the door in two rolls. One of them can’t help wondering, “What is the
difference between this Miss Cooper and the previous one?”
“What difference? They were both from the Cooper, and we all should never provoke them. Stay sharp.
Don’t make any mistakes. No one can help you if you make any mistake. Even the director has to be
polite to Miss Cooper. You understand?”
“Yes.” the staff replied. All of them looked nervous.
Everyone tried to display their best attitude.
A bunch of people were approaching the Sales and Marketing Department from afar.
Mary walked in front of the bunch of people. Polly was walking beside Mary, followed by many others at
the back, who looked vigorous.
Hannah stood aside and sized Mary up.
If Hannah hadn’t seen Mary’s humble attitude in the Cooper manor before, she would never relate this
proud and arrogant woman in professional attire with that humble Mary she knew.
Hannah recalled her past life. Mary slept with Charles and insulted Hannah as a cheap woman. Mary
teased her for being useless and that Hannah humiliated Charles.
Hannah now regretted a lot for having been a housewife and putting all her attention and effort into
Charles in her past life.
“Good morning, Miss Cooper,” someone led the greeting with a clear and loud voice.
The staff bowed politely at Mary.
Mary looked around. She didn’t pose any sign of fear of what she saw, looking arrogant.
Mary was only a 22-year-old fresh graduate. The fact that she could still remain calm in an environment
full of strangers, did make Mary a capable and skilful person.
Mary nodded her head to greet everyone.
Mary displayed her superiority, at the same time, made herself looked distant.
She was about to walk past the staff in her heel in a superior attitude.
“Mary.”
Suddenly, someone called her in an emotionless tone.
