Chapter 167: You Look Like a Thief
Vanten Technology Company. Cathy and Aaron returned to the company. A group of people came up from the side, probably after a meeting, and It was Mr. Brown who walked in front of the group of people. Cathy waved her hand and told Aaron to go back to his office first. When the group of people approached, she smiled and said, "Mr. Brown."
Mr. Brown looked at her and smiled. "are you well now?"
"Thanks Mr. Brown for asking. Much better."
Ivy, who was walking alongside the group of people, raised her eyebrows drawn thin and black, and looked Cathy up and down with a smile. "Cathy, you are not feeling well again? You look well, and not like you are sick." She said.
Cathy smiled, "it's just a fever."
"I remember you've been sick several times this month. Cathy, you need to have a good rest." She said blandly.
When she spoke, she looked at Mr. Brown and smiled," Mr. Brown, I suggest our company organizing another physical examination. Many colleagues work so hard that it is harmful to their health. Just in case...Ominously, who's to blame if someone dies at work?"
The others at the meeting looked at each other. Although they did not speak, their eyes showed that most of them agreed with Ivy's words. Even Mr. Brown thought it over. He said earnestly to Cathy, "Cathy, I remember you've called in sick so many times recently. You really need to have a good rest. If you are too busy, delegate the work to your subordinates."
"Cathy won't be able to rest during this time." Ivy smiled and she said in a casual tone, "for LT Company and Feng Rui Company, Cathy is in contact with these two important partners of us. They are also the main source of profits for our company in the coming year. That's why we need her. She doesn't have time to rest. "
Mr. Brown frowned slightly.
Cathy was in low spirits. She glanced at Ivy, smiled slowly, and she said to Mr.Brown, "Mr. Brown, don't worry. I will arrange my personal time off. In fact, even if I fall ill, it won't make any difference to the company. The employees in my department are young, energetic and hardworking. Even if I am not in the company, they can finish the work very well."This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
She remembered what her subordinates told her that day. Ivy targeted her because she had robbed too much of Ivy's department's performance recently. Now that the opportunity had fallen upon her, she would fight for it, and no matter whether she could catch it or not. Moreover, as the manager, she also had to live up to the efforts of her subordinates in her department.
"Cathy can't be sick." Ivy immediately answered the question, and her expression became serious, but the tone of her voice was still strange, "otherwise, Tyrone will be worried and Mr.Brown will be embarrassed."
Cathy's face darkened, "Ivy, what do you mean?"
Ivy had an elaborate makeup. She heard Cathy's words and looked at Cathy innocently and confusedly. She said with her head tilted to one side, "Cathy, you are not a good friend of Tyrone? I just saw you getting out of Tyrone's car from upstairs. Was I mistaken someone else for you?"
Her simple words made the atmosphere suddenly more subtle. Everyone looked at Cathy.
No one was a fool here, and anyone could understand the meaning of the words.
Mr. Brown didn't speak immediately, and people could not see his thoughts in his face.
Cathy's eyes became darker. Her thin back was straight, the loose black suit, showing her composedness and calmness. She looked steadily at Ivy, and raised the corners of her mouth, "Ivy, you have good eyesight, since you can see so far away. Yes, it's me. I didn't drive and on the way I met Tyrone Rama. He gave me a lift. As for whether I am his friend or not, you really think highly of me. I've only seen him a few times with Mr. Brown. He and I cooperated with each other, and he naturally treated me more kindly than those who had never met him."
The last words she said, of course, were intended to strike Ivy back and uncover Ivy's scar.
In the past, such cooperative negotiations have been conducted with people in Ivy's Marketing Department. However, when Mr. Brown went to LT Company to do business for the first time, as Ivy was not in the company, he asked her to replace Ivy. After that, the job naturally fell to her. Of course, Ivy was angry. After all, for such a big work project, the commission in the work project was equivalent to Ivy's salary for several month.
Ivy's face turned cold. She smiled coldly, "no wonder Mr. Black only invited people from your department to the LT Company's party yesterday. You really make us jealous. But I heard that Mr. Brown wasn't even invited, and I didn't know if it's true."
She looked at Mr. Brown as if to ask him.
This was a clear accusation that LT Company was only interested in her who was only a department manager. They didn't even take Mr. Brown seriously. Cathy was accused of ingratiating herself with LT Company. Cathy and her subordinates even were accused of flattering people in other companies.
Cathy stunned for a while. She looked at Mr. Brown and smiled, "He did explain that to me last night. This was small party for the staff at the bottom of the company. Mr Black was afraid that you would be slighted, so he planned to ask Tyrone to invite you to dinner personally in the future. However, one thing I forgot was that Ivy and Ivy's department should have gone to dinner, too. Their company booked half o the hotel, so it was a bit wasteful. since there are only a few people in our department, there are too few people eating in the hotel."
The look on Ivy's face finally changed. She looked terrible.
Did Cathy ask their department to eat leftovers? Did Cathy really think she's jealous? Cathy was really a shallow, and narrow-minded woman.
There was nothing strange in Mr. Brown's face, and he only sighed with emotion, "It's very kind of them. Big companies are generous, and we can't be too stingy. We must invite them to our company's annual meeting."
Cathy smiled, "that's a good idea. Mr. Brown, We can do that."
Mr. Brown nodded, "then you go to work first, and you should have a good rest."
"Well, all right."
Seeing them all go away, Cathy's smile faded and she turned to look at Ivy who had left behind.
"Ivy, are you having a hard time with you career, love or health?"
Ivy's cold expression was devoid of smile and politeness. Her voice sounded sour and mean, "What are you so proud of? You don't have any marketing experience or personal connections. Do you think these two work projects will be completed easily? If you screw up, do you think you can still stay at the company?"
The empty corridor was clean and clear. Cathy put her hands around her chest, leaned slowly against the wall, and she raised the corners of her red lip lazily. She said, half smiling, "to be honest, it was indeed a challenge for me. I didn't want to take the lead, and I just wanted to focus on my report work at first. But the expectations of Mr. Brown, and the enthusiasm of the employees in my department, forced me to take the lead. You have to think about you and your department, and I have to think about me and employees in my department, right?"
