Chapter 2698 - 171: Secretary Wellington Is Now the Company’s Rising Star
Who would have thought, as soon as they got to the company downstairs, Director Hamilton stopped everyone.
"All of you have worked hard these days, putting in three straight weeks of overtime at the villa. The company has decided to reward you. Starting now, you’ll have a five-day vacation. Report back to the company next Monday."
Molly Wellington frowned upon hearing this arrangement: "But I haven’t yet reported the results of the merger to Mr. Taylor. This task was assigned to me by Mr. Taylor, and I must explain it to Mr. Taylor."
There were no private dealings between herself, Loyalty Group, and Abraham Redington.
Molly Wellington didn’t care at all about the dirt Stella Brown was throwing; she would do what she should do regardless.
But Director Hamilton said, "There’s no need for now. Regarding this merger and the subsequent cooperation, Headquarters will have other arrangements. Alright, Secretary Wellington and the rest of you, go home now. Remember to report to the company as usual next Monday."
Director Hamilton’s attitude was firm. Molly Wellington received his suggestive glance, and she vaguely knew that he was preparing to deal with Maggie and Stella Brown.
Unfortunately, Stella Brown, even at this moment, was still unclear and urgently asked, "Director Hamilton, you said you would discipline certain people. Are you just going to let it go like that?"
Director Hamilton was stern: "I’ve always kept my word. Headquarters needs some time to investigate and arrange. Come over next Monday, and the HR Department will issue a notice."
Receiving a positive answer, Stella Brown felt secretly pleased and immediately pulled Maggie to happily start their vacation.
Before leaving, Molly Wellington exchanged a knowing glance with Director Hamilton.
Even more certain now, Stella Brown might be in for a rude awakening.
...
Over the next five days, rumors began circulating within the company.
The gossip mainly revolved around Molly Wellington and Abraham Redington’s alleged romance, though in these rumors, Molly Wellington wasn’t portrayed as the lucky woman pursued by Abraham Redington and gifted luxurious jewelry.
Instead, she was described as a scheming woman, willing to sell out the company’s interests to get involved with the Redington Young Master.
Everyone said that this Secretary Wellington was highly skilled, but Headquarters had already noticed her misconduct and would soon discipline her.
Meanwhile, Molly Wellington, who went home alone to rest, paid little attention to these rumors. She returned to school to attend classes and even summarized her experiences working at the Royal Palace Branch, giving a presentation to all the faculty and students.
As for the diamond ring Abraham Redington gave her, it was indeed beautiful and dazzling. Unfortunately, the ring had come too late.
After returning home, Molly Wellington took off the ring and had it sent to the CEO of Loyalty Group’s office.
Soon, the five days passed, and it was Monday, the start of the workweek.
Like any other day, Molly Wellington dressed in professional attire, wearing high heels, stepped into the Royal Palace Branch building in downtown H city.
Molly Wellington pressed the elevator button, and an elevator just about to close opened again in front of her.
The elevator was already more than half full, and when her colleagues inside saw Molly Wellington’s pretty yet aloof face appear at the open elevator door, they couldn’t help but gasp.
Their eyes were filled with curiosity, gossip, and a hint of fear.
As always, Molly Wellington ignored the probing gazes of others. After stepping into the elevator, she pressed the button for the top floor, paying them no mind.
She stood there with her back to everyone, an invisible barrier forming around her as if isolating her from the others.
"What are you doing, why are you all squeezing inside?" complained a female colleague standing at the back as she was pushed backward by the others.
"Shh... It’s Secretary Wellington, Secretary Wellington’s come in," whispered the colleague in front, covering her mouth.
The female colleague who had her mouth covered widened her eyes.
Secretary Wellington, the one from the top floor?
Wow, Secretary Wellington is now the company’s superstar.
Five minutes ago, all of them received a position change notice from the HR Department in their Mailbox.
