The morning meeting was incredibly torturous.
Cordelia felt Jesse’s suggestive gaze lingering on her, as well as Karine’s hostile gaze stabbing her like a knife.
When the meeting ended, before Jesse could talk to her, she smiled politely and left the meeting room by making up an excuse.
Before she went far, she heard Karine’s enraged voice coming from inside.
“What’s gotten into you? Can’t see anything else once you meet that b*tch? Is that it? You’re incorrigible!”
Cordelia felt her heart thump.
She told Linda about it at noon, surprising the latter. Linda had not expected such a coincidence either. The company was very big, yet Cordelia had bumped into the two of them.
“Be careful now that you ran into them,” Linda said in a lower volume. “Cordelia, I’m not in sales, so it’s hard for me to put in a good word for you. And Karine’s uncle is a shareholder. She’s used to her ways… Basically, life won’t be too easy for you in the future. You’ve got to watch out!”
“Mm, don’t worry.” Cordelia smiled. “As long as I don’t make any mistakes, Karine won’t be able to pick on me.”
Lo and behold, that very afternoon, Karine specifically gave her a task.
“There’s a tea party later. This is the guest list. They’re all important clients of our company. Get things ready properly.”
Cordelia nodded.
There were about a dozen people on the name list, and the tea party was not large scale-wise. Despite that, they had to do their best to satisfy the clients.
“Right, keep an eye out for Ms. Cloud from Morn-Glo Group.” Karine smirked. “That businesswoman is great at everything but she’s allergic to peanuts. No peanuts whatsoever when you prepare her food.”
“Okay, got it.”
Cordelia went out with the name list. Although this was only her first day at work, she was orderly and meticulous in everything she did. Soon, she had set up the tea party venue completely.
