Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 72

Of course, I remembered that. Jason told me that I needed to find a traditional craft artisan and convince him to partner up with us.

Nevertheless, ever since Lindsey came over, I no longer paid attention to that matter. Could it be that it hadn't been settled?

"The other party is an elderly man with a strange temperament. Not only has he been refusing to see us, but he has refused many other companies' representatives too. He rejected everyone.

"This is a part of the marketing department's task. If you don't mind, I can arrange for Ms. Gomez to convince the craft artisan with you. No matter how great the price is, as long as you can settle this deal, those rumors about you and Ms. Gomez will naturally die down."

Colleagues working together on a project was a perfectly normal reason to be seen together.

"Hasn't the post been taken down?"

Lindsey shook her head. "Deleting the post is just surface-level. What we really need to address are the company-wide rumors. Simply silencing people isn't enough. It wouldn't be fair to Ms. Gomez either."

"Alright then. You can make the arrangements."

I nodded. After all, this matter was related to Kourtney's reputation. It was better to nip the gossip at the source.

When Kourtney was led to my office, she appeared lost.

"I'm going with Mr. Ranford?"

Kourtney pointed at herself, confused. As she was only an intern who had just joined the company, it was surreal for her to participate in a project with the general manager.

"With all the gossip going around about you, we need to give people a proper explanation."

Lindsey nodded. I stepped out of the suite after changing my clothes.

"Let's set off now. Let's go."

Before Kourtney could even see the content of the partnership, she was brought to the car by me. On the way, she looked through the proposal and kept nodding.

"Don't worry if you can't complete it. You still have half a month left to become an official employee. I don't think it'll affect you."

I quickly did the math. Even if she completed this marketing project, she would only become an official employee a few days in advance anyway.

"If I can become an official employee in advance, the salary I get for this month will be the same as an official employee. It's a thousand dollars more!"

After this partnership was settled, Kourtney probably wouldn't have enough time to complete the marketing task.

"Why don't I tell your manager to make you an official employee tomorrow?"

She quickly shook her head and pouted adorably.
