Allison almost wanted to pick a fight with Amy, when Jacob told her that Amy was the new female vice president of HD Group. Everything that happened was beyond Allison's expectation.
"How could Amy be the new vice president? How could she be qualified?" Allison asked Jacob while holding his arm tightly. Her fingernails were even dug into Jacob's arm.
"I am also surprised, but Richard has the most shares among members of the board of directors. The other directors agreed to Richard's decision because they don't want to offend him. William and I just cannot stop him." Jacob felt sorry for Allison as he saw how upset she was.
"Allison, don't worry too much about it. What does Amy know? I will look for opportunities to kick her out." Jacob promised Allison.
"Leave me alone now. I need time to calm myself down." Allison asked Jacob to leave her alone. She went to the conference room subconsciously and heard people talking inside. She pushed the door open and saw that Richard and Amy were kissing.
"Help us tidy up the room, thanks. Miss Miller, let's go." Richard helped Amy carry her things in his hands, and he walked arm in arm with Amy towards the door.
Seeing that there were several teacups on the table, Allison could only tidy them up. That was obviously not her job, but Richard still asked her to do it. She felt heartbroken.
Were all feelings Richard once had for Allison gone now? Allison did not believe it. She felt that Richard must be trying to take revenge on her because she had once left him.
Allison's grip on one of the teacups was too tight because she was lost in her thoughts. With a crack, the teacup broke.
"Hey, Miss Field, what are you doing?" Hilary poked her head in the room as she heard the noise. She had just heard that the new vice president of the company was Amy and was on her way to look for Amy. But she heard the sound of something breaking from inside the conference room when she walked past the room.
"Hilary, you're here. Could you please bring me the broom?" Allison immediately greeted Hilary when she saw Hilary.
"Miss Field, I'm quite busy. I don't have the time. I'm sorry. You can take your time cleaning the room. I must go now." Hilary didn't even want to talk to Allison.
In the past, when Richard was nice with Allison, Allison thought she was so special and disdained everyone else. She wanted to make it up to Hilary, but it was simply too late now!
Hilary turned around and went out. She did not care how angry Allison was. In fact, the angrier Allison was, the happier Hilary felt.
Hilary was so joyful that she even whistled. When she went to the Vice President's Office, she found that there was no one inside.
"Weird. Where's Amy?" Hilary thought for a moment, and she thought that Amy might be in the opposite room. She walked over and opened the door of Richard's office.
"Amy?" Hilary poked her head in first, but she didn't see Amy there. She only saw that Richard was staring at her.
"Richard, you're busy with your work, aren't you? I know you are, so I will leave you alone. But you have to tell me where Amy is." Hilary walked up to Richard and looked around in an exaggerative manner.
"She's changing her clothes in the lounge." Richard lowered his head and began to work again.
"Richard, what kind of brother are you? Why didn't you tell me that you have made Amy the new vice president? You don't care about my authority in the company at all. When people asked me if I knew about the news, I could only answer them that I didn't know." Hilary was happy that Amy had become the new vice president, but she was not so happy that Richard had kept it a secret.
"Your authority? I didn't know you had something like that. Well, can you take Miss Miller to her office? I still have something to do. I'll meet you two there when I'm done." Richard was busy recently, because there were a few contracts with big companies.
"Okay. You can get on with your work. Amy, let's go." Hilary pulled Amy to the Vice President's Office which was just opposite.
"Wow, Miss Miller, look! My brother must have design things here by himself. Everything here is so sweet and feminine. Look at the flowers and the sky-blue curtains. Well, I never knew that he could be so considerate. I thought he only likes black and white!" Hilary walked around and looked at the design of the office with envy.
This office was indeed quite big. It was about the same size as Richard's office, but the decoration in Amy's office was warm. Many things were blue and pink.
"Hilary, how do you know that this is your brother's design?" Amy had never come to see her office before. She really liked it when she saw it today. It was just the kind of office she wanted.
"You will know what my brother's style is in the future. He likes simple-looking extravagance. Look at the legs of this table. People usually don't care much about them. But my brother has them wrapped in gold. And the windowsill. It is also wrapped in gold. This is his style." Hilary introduced Richard's style to Amy.
Amy also looked around and found that Hilary was right. Richard had gold inlaid everywhere, but his style was not vulgar. Instead, everything looked low-key, luxurious, and elegant.
"Wow, look at this. Amy, I'm sure you're the first girl for whom my brother has designed this." Hilary pointed to a place and said to Amy.
