Josie was relieved after speaking to Nicole. She believed that Nicole would make the right decision. As long as they called off the marriage, Jenny had no reason to ask for Paulâs medical bills.
However, Nicole hadnât replied to her for a few days. She was worried that Nicole might be persuaded by Justin because of love. She was also concerned that Justin might harm Nicole when he was pushed into a corner.
She looked at their chat, hesitating if she should ask her.
At that moment, there was a commotion in the design department.
Dexterâs assistant, Ivy, appeared in sleek and beautiful formal attire.
âMr. Russell has a new announcement.â She waved the file in her hands.
Alice nudged Josie. âI bet itâs about the new manager. Could it be you?â Alice whispered.
Josie was doubtful about that. âI donât think so.â I donât have enough experience.
Under everyoneâs gazes, Ivy opened the folder and announced, âThe new manager for the design department is Clair Wilcher.â
Team A cheered for her.
Alice looked disappointed. âHmph. Youâre better than her.â
Nevertheless, the result was within Josieâs expectations.
She shook her head with a wry smile. âNonsense.â
Ivy suddenly appraised her interestedly before quickly leaving.
Looking at her figure, Josie said, âOut of so many people, I envy her the most. At such a young age, sheâs capable enough to be Mr. Russellâs personal assistant. Not only is her salary high, but sheâs also very confident. How nice.â
Alice also followed her gaze. âTrue⦠Sheâs more capable than anyone else. I heard that back when the CEO of Russell Group was undecided, she chose to stand up for Mr. Russell and went through many obstacles with him until today. Not everyone has her foresight and tenacity. I guess sheâs Mr. Russellâs most trusted person in this company.â
Josie also heard some news about her. If I were Ivy, Iâd probably choose Dexter too. He is different from others, and he has good leadership. Well, there are no what-ifs. I couldnât possibly have met him so many years back.
In the pantry, Phil was making a cup of coffee. When he saw Ivy looking out the window absent-
mindedly, he walked over and smiled. âMs. Miller, I heard you announce the latest personnel change at the design department today.â
She lifted her head and eyed him cautiously.
âItâs approved by Mr. Russell. Why canât I announce it?â
âItâs not your job. You stepped over the boundaries of your job. Does he know?â
âDo you want him to know?â
Phil was a sly, old fox in this industry. He took a sip of his coffee before replying, âYouâre his favorite; I donât dare to tell on you. Apart from that, Iâm also delighted with the result. Thereâs no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.â
I suppose he doesnât dare to do so. Ivy continued gazing out of the window, ignoring him.
After finishing his coffee, he whispered in her ears before leaving, âAll the best. Everyone is speculating if you are going to be Mr. Russellâs partner. If youâre successful, remember to invite me to the wedding.â
She jerked her head up. Those words were just insults to her.
âGet lost.â
