Chapter 120: Chapter 120

When some sounds of coughing rang out, a few female staff members in the pantry were so shocked that they trembled.

As they slowly turned back, they saw Adina standing behind them with the ghost of a smile. Clearly, she heard what they had just said.

At that moment, they felt extremely fortunate for not talking smack about Adina. If Dew heard them discuss her like that behind her back, they would get fired.

“Miss… Miss…” The female staff members stammered. They did not know how to address Adina.

Aaron was Mr. Daugherty, and Dew was Ms. Daugherty, but how should they refer to Adina?

“Why don’t you call me Ms. Daugherty?” Adina smiled faintly. “I’ll be the Customer Service Department’s manager later on.” After she said that, the female staff members looked at each other in confusion.

They had also heard about the bet between Adina and the shareholders. Boyd Corporation was a multinational conglomerate. They always collaborated with foreign companies and never chose the local ones.

Daugherty Corporation was very well-developed in Sea City, but it did not match Boyd Corporation’s standards.

Intending to collaborate with Boyd Corporation in three days was even more difficult than going to the moon.

Yet, Adina had actually started to imagine herself becoming the Customer Service Department’s manager.

People on the site subconsciously sighed for her.

Adina was not aware of it. She leaned on the door frame and casually said, “It’s going to be lunchtime.

Let me treat you guys to lunch.” “Isn’t that inappropriate, Ms. Daugherty?” “Junior staff like us should just eat in the canteen.”

The female staff members turned her down.

“A new western restaurant just opened near the company, and their food looks delicious. Don’t you want to go there and try it?” Adina smiled faintly as she asked.

The average price in the new restaurant was above $500. Who would not want to go?

However, Adina was the Daugherty family’s first daughter, and she frequently appeared in the headlines in Sea City.

They really did not want to have anything to do with such a character.

“I’m a newcomer. I just want to hear some things that everyone knows in the company.”

Adina tucked her hair behind her ears. “But if you’re not willing, forget it. I’ll treat some other people.”

“I’ll join!” A chubby junior took one step forward. “Ms. Daugherty, I’ll join you in the western restaurant.”

“I-I’ll join too!” another girl with glasses nodded and said. With the temptation of food and Adina also lowering her status, a total of five people ate together at noon.

All of them were young girls in their early twenties. After they got together, they kept chatting about all kinds of gossip in the company. For example, the Technical Department’s manager had an affair with his secretary, the husband of Ms. Glasewald from the Customer Service Department had cheated on her, and the Planning Department’s assistant manager was in a relationship with two people… Adina also chatted with the girls, and they grew closer after lunch.

In the CEO’s office, Aaron looked furious. “Dew, what did you do last night? How could you ruin such an important deal?”

“Dad, didn’t I explain it to you? My computer got infected, and the document was corrupted, so I couldn’t participate in the tender this morning.” Dew felt exhausted. “Isn’t it just a $ 50,000,000 project?

I can just cover it with my own money, can’t I?” “It’s not about the money!” Aaron slammed the document on the table. “This is an old customer who’s collaborated with Daugherty Corporation for decades. This time, he chose another company, and he’ll get used to working with other companies next time! We’ll lose $ 50,000,000 a year and $600,000,000 in a dozen years!”
