Chapter 398

Annie was shocked by Joyce. She was anxious at heart, being able to

enter the promotion team of the new project was an important

opportunity for her. She argued, "Who are you to tell me to leave? I'm

the gold promoter personally assigned by the group headquarters! The

automotive project team is weak in promotion, and I'm here to help."

"Heh. With such a character, you better avoid talking about help." Joyce

did not have the patience to dwell on it and directly kicked her out,

"Now, get out immediately, right now! Get out of our office! If you don't

like it, appeal to the group headquarters.”

"You!" Annie's face twisted in anger and she stomped her foot violently.

But there was nothing she could do, but to leave in a mess.

Although Joyce was not nominally the head of the project team, but in

fact they all understood. No matter what kind of emotional

entanglement Joyce and Luther had, they just could not afford to cross

Joyce, if not just because of her status as a board member.

Seeing Annie being driven away, Juanita was a bit overwhelmed,

"Joyce, no need to stand up for me. I'm sorry to make it difficult for

you."

"Difficult?" Joyce laughed casually, "Obviously she's the one making

things difficult for others. We are an efficient project team, we don't

need to waste time on these boring internal conflicts.”

"But, you've been upset enough lately. Driving Annie away, the whole

group is going to talk about it again. I'm afraid you'll be even more

upset.” Juanita was a little self-conscious and depressed.

Joyce pulled out some napkins and gently wiped the side of Juanita's

forehead, "Look at you, you still have coffee on your face. You should

go to the lounge to shower and change.”

"Hmm." Juanita's eyes were slightly red, and her heart was quite

moved. No one knew that she was actually the Capital's mayor's

daughter, who had grown up seeing the deceitfulness of her father’s

circle. She was surrounded by people who deliberately approached her,

and everyone wore a false mask and she did not have a single friend.

She could not stand the oppressive environment, pretentious human

relations, and did not want to accept the marriage arranged by her

family and marry to the second generation of those officials. She could

not just be a good daughter and a good wife and finally a good mother

all her life. She was tired of it and she sneaked out, to earn her own

living.

It was the luck of her life to meet a friend like Joyce, and she was

already very satisfied.

"Go ahead.” Joyce had a light smile on her lips as she gently nudged

Juanita, “I'm going back to work. I have clothes in the lounge, you can

wear mine."

"Good." Juanita raised her hand to wipe the tear from the corners of her

eyes, revealing a sweet smile as she turned and walked toward the

lounge.

Joyce then returned to her computer and continued to work full time.

By noon.

The news of Joyce's ousting of the newcomer Annie had spread

throughout the R&S Group. Annie was a professional promoter and it

was not a big deal for her to stir up the public opinion.

She didn't get an advantage in front of Joyce and always tried to regain

some face afterwards.

She disregarded her image, with her coffee-darkened hair and face,

and first ran to the personnel department to show them her misery and

cry a little.

Then, she told her friends about it in each department separately.

Soon, this matter spread in the group headquarters. The rumor was so

surprising that people were talking about it privately.

"Wow, did you hear about Joyce's new move to oust Annie, the gold

promoter, on her first day?"

"She's too snobbish, whose power is she relying on?"

"Who else can it be, of course the president.”
