Chapter 2695 - 168: Afraid to Offend Molly Wellington
The arrival of Director Hamilton was solely facilitated by Maggie.
Initially, Maggie reported to an old colleague working at the Royal Palace Headquarters.
She informed the colleague that Mr. Taylor at the branch had been ’tempted’ by a newly arrived female university student and not only appointed her as the CEO’s Secretary, but also listened to her in all matters.
The female university student mentioned by Sylvia is Secretary Wellington, Molly Wellington.
Upon hearing this, Maggie’s colleague at headquarters felt that Mr. Taylor was being reckless again.
Those with more seniority at Royal Palace are aware that Mr. Taylor, Charles Taylor, is Mr. Lucas’s cousin. Despite this familial connection, his capability is actually lacking.
Moreover, Charles Taylor has particularly soft ears.
A colleague of Maggie at headquarters works in the HR Department and, upon hearing this, reported the matter to his superior, the Human Resources Director.
This issue is related to the decision layer of the branch, and Mr. Lucas has long been aware that Charles Taylor tends to mess things up. He had already informed his subordinates to handle matters related to the H city branch fairly.
Especially for Charles Taylor, if he dares to commit misbehavior, he should be treated equally with no favoritism.
Upon receiving the ’report’, the Human Resources Director began to pay attention to the situation on the branch’s side.
It was just in time as the Royal Palace Branch had started its cooperation with Loyalty Group.
After arriving at the villa, all of Molly Wellington’s actions were exaggeratedly reported to headquarters by Maggie.
When Mr. Hamilton from the HR Department heard the report saying that the intern Secretary favored by Mr. Taylor had betrayed company interests, climbed up on Redington Young Master, and even allowed Loyalty Group significant benefits in the cooperation case.
This matter concerning the second son of the Lucas family made even the Human Resources Director at headquarters restless, prompting him to come personally.
However, now, Director Hamilton looked at Molly Wellington’s face, a face... somewhat familiar.
He suddenly felt fortunate that he personally came this time.
If he hadn’t inquired personally and just relied on others’ reports, and then fired the eldest daughter of the Wellington family.
Well, well... not just Mr. Lucas and Master Wellington, even Madam would trouble him, and he wouldn’t be able to hold his ground.
"You... Secretary Wellington, come with me for a moment."
Director Hamilton suddenly put on a stern face and walked towards the office area.
Sylvia Brown, who had been helped up, saw Director Hamilton’s attitude and was instantly pleased.
She exchanged a discreet glance with Maggie, seeing delight in each other’s eyes.
Maggie felt happy because Director Hamilton, in charge of HR at headquarters, is known for being iron-faced and impartial.
Since Molly Wellington arrived, Maggie felt her position was threatened, precarious.
This time, with Director Hamilton stepping in, Molly Wellington might be demoted at best, or dismissed and never rehired at worst.
Without Molly Wellington, this cooperation case, owing to the groundwork laid by her, saw Loyalty Group’s inexplicable ease, and today’s talks went exceptionally well.
Once Molly Wellington is fired, based on seniority, the Team Leader position should fall to her.
In this way, her contribution becomes the greatest, possibly leading to promotion and a salary increase.
Stella Brown’s delight was even simpler.
She was merely displeased seeing how Molly Wellington attracted men’s attention over her.
Mr. Taylor was one, Redington Young Master as well... In the future, with Molly Wellington gone, these prestigious men would then notice her merits.
Maggie and Stella Brown were both gleeful for their respective interests.
Though unknown to them, Director Hamilton pulled Molly Wellington aside.
Seeing there was no one around, he immediately dropped his heavy, stern expression and squeezed out a smile: "Miss Molly, I apologize for the offense... I didn’t know you were interning here with Mr. Taylor. How is it, are you accustomed to the company?
Are there any challenges in your work that need addressing, or do you need me to fire those who reported against you?"
