Chapter 90

Jayleen clapped her hands loudly twice to silence them.

“Get back to work.

As for you, Lindsey, you’re coming with me.

”

Jayleen opened the door to Lynne’s office and briskly walked in.

The sudden promotion had sent Lindsey into a shocked daze, but she quickly came back to her senses and hurriedly followed Jayleen inside.

Jayleen stood in front of the French window wordlessly for a while.

After what felt like an eternity, she abruptly pulled out the chair beside her, and sat down, crossing her long legs.

She had an air of an arrogant superior about her.

“Your educational background is similar to that of Lynne.

The higher-ups think highly of you, which is why we’re giving you an unconventional promotion, but—”

After a deliberate pause, Jayleen locked eyes with Lindsey and said, “You’ll be under probation for three months.

If you can do this job well, you’ll be officially able to keep the position.

If not, the company will demote you and have someone else fill in for Lynne.

Understand?”

Lindsey nodded slowly.

“Yes.

”

“Good.

” Jayleen stood up, walked to Lindsey, and patted her on the shoulder.

“You’re the first employee to ever get promoted so soon.

I look forward to your performance.

”

Her tone was so ambiguous that Lindsey couldn’t tell whether she was praising her or satirizing her.

After Jayleen left, Lindsey stayed in the office in a daze, feeling as though an invisible weight had been dumped on her shoulders.

She couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that a newbie like her was promoted out of the blue, not to mention the fact that she had only started working here.

When she walked out of the office, she could clearly feel the hostile gazes of her colleagues.

But she just ignored them.

She spent the whole morning familiarizing herself with Lynne’s work.

In the afternoon, she planned to go about her usual schedule and was about to head to Ray Films for a meeting.

On her way out, the elevator she caught happened to be quite crowded so she retreated to one corner so as to let the others in.

Just as the elevator doors slid to a close, the voices of two employees in the front reached Lindsey’s ears.

“Did you hear that? Some new assistant agent in the Agent Department got promoted to executive agent.

”

“Bah! She probably hooked up with Mr.

Howard to get that promotion.

I mean, how else could she have gotten promoted so quickly?”

“I’ve been wondering why Lynne resigned from out of the blue.

Turns out she was forced to give up her position!”

“Those who get in by the back door are so despicable!”

Finally, the elevator doors slid open and the two gossips left.

Lindsey clenched her fists angrily.

That night at the party, Emilio had seemed quite keen to praise her, and he had even gone out of his way to introduce her to those big shots.

Was her performance that night too eye-catching that he had suddenly taken an interest in her?
