chapter 17

Late at night the photographer quietly posted the edited clip online and left out the background story. They simply posted Angela's violent action.At a glance it looked like she was bullying the man without reason. After a good night Angela did not forget that it was her first official day at work and woke up on time to pick out her outfit. Easy drove over in her little convertible and pushed the door furiously. " Angela, all those person online are berating you again! "Angela paused slightly " berating me? why?"Easy show the vedio that the photographer posted. It was only ten seconds, but it clearly showed the stark contrast between Angela's hostile look and the man’s miserable appearance. The following comments were all against Angela's work.  Jorge Trumph's ex-wife had a rendezvous at a bar late night and even beat someone up. Some people also commented how ruthless Angela was. This incident pushed Angela into the top trending topics on social media. Angela was unconcerned and turned of the screen. " it doesn't matter. it won't affect our mood if you don't look at it. Now go, get ready for work."Easy was vexed for Angela. Although Easy had drinked too much last night, she was still conscious about this time and knew Angela only fought that man to stand up for her. Easy was then thinking ' No I can't just let it be!'" You don't need to care. I will handle it. Let’s go to work !" Easy said.Once they went out Parker Reed's butler said "Miss,, the driver is waiting for you outside." Angela frowned it was too conspiracy to go to work driven in a Rolls-Royce, so she immediately refused and said " No, thanks, I will drive car. "The butler unhurriedly took out a set of car keys. " The Chairman specially selected the latest model of Xenon for you and they are placed in a garage. He also ordered of few new model of Premium from New York, that will arrive after few days. Easy widened her eyes with awe and was felt speechless thinking ' uncle Parker pampers Angela that driving these cars worth Millions of Crores is considered having to make do?!"Angela sighed helplessly. " I'm going to work as an ordinary person, so I can't be too flashy. I don't want want these. I will just go with Easy."The butler hesitate for a while, then bowed slightly to Easy " that's very kind of you Ms. Laurent. "Easy smiled " Don't worry, I will take care of her. It's my honor to be drive  for our dearest Ms. Angela Reed."The two ladies looked at each other and laughed. Angela then pulled Easy away and  ran outside. Once they arrived at the office, Michael Reed held a meeting to formally introduce Angela as a director of the company. This position that had been vacant for a long time, was covered by many but it's now taken by Angela, who parachuted into this role. Before the meeting was over some people already began to dig up details about Angela. Besides her identity of Jorge Trumph's ex-wife, everything about her was a blank slate, even her family background. Sofia Lindt, who assumed herself to be best candidate for this position, was the first to speak up in disapproval. She had her eyes on this role for a long time, so why should it be taken by an imcompetent person??Sofia said " Ms. Angela, what qualification do you have to assume this role? Do you think you can handle this position after three years being Jorge Trumph's ex-wife? I don't agree with this decision and I won't stay in the company if someone like Ms.Angela is a director. "Michael Reed looked down at his watch. His voice was indifferent and he said "those who don't want to stay can hand in their resignation notice. I will approve it." For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and awkwardly silent. Sofia Lindt humiliated. She had been in the company for so many years and got to her position with a lot of effort. So she did not mean to leave just like that. Michael Reed was standing up for newcomer Angela was also a slap in the face of Sofia. Angela frowned slightly. She did not want to be targeted the moment she too office. Just as she was about to ease the tension in the room, Sofia stood up apprehensively with a flushed face.Sofia " President Reed, I am sorry for my transgression. I respect the company’s decision and will work well with Ms. Angela."" Good. Meeting adjourned. "Michael Reed did not say so much. He did not want to waste another minute and left the meeting room in an imposing manner. Sofia then let out a long breath if relief.   Although many others had opinions about Angela's arrival but they dared not oppose Michael Reed's authority. Angela also not bothered by this little episode because she would prove her capabilities over time.When Rohan Andrew arrived at Angela's office he was very respectful. He said " Ms. Angela, I will be your assistant from today, so you can inform me if you have any orders."Angela knew Rohan Andrew was the right hand man of Michael Reed, so having him by her would be very helpful. " Thank you. The president gave me something about an important project previously, so please get me all the information about that project. "Rohan Andrew nodded and said " Sure, I will get it ready for you. "Continue..✍ Atrayee Sarkar
