Yvonne Xander harrumphed, and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll complain to the chairman about how you all mistreated me?”
Charlotte’s eyes widened in disbelief. What the hell was she up to? She looked at Manager Harper pitifully as if to say, ‘Dear manager, help me out please!’
Manager Harper had been working for Marriott International for two decades. He had dealt with all sorts of situations. He gestured with his eyes to comfort Charlotte and signaled her to step aside.
“How may I help you, Miss?” Manager Harper leaned against the chair as he asked Yvonne.
Yvonne stood there and scoffed, “The chairman told me to look for you and to give me a decent position in this company.”
She disrespected him blatantly as he was merely a human resource manager.
Manager Harper turned around and glanced at Charlotte.
Charlotte immediately said, “She claims to be the younger sister of the chairman’s driver, Monique.”
Manager Harper was aware of Monique. The staff from the chairman’s office mentioned to him before that the chairman was head over heels for that woman. They were supposed to have a meeting in the morning but it got canceled last minute because the chairman did not come to the office.
This was unprecedented. The chairman used to be a workaholic and was always very punctual. He would never be late for meetings, not to mention cancel one without any particular reason.
This showed that the woman was really important to the chairman.
He heard from Shaun that the chairman went shopping with her.
Her scheme would fail if he does.
Nevertheless, she had prepared herself for the unexpected circumstances. She tried her best to calm herself and said, “Manager Harper, don’t you have authority over such a small matter? Or do you not trust me when I said that the chairman sent me?”
The secretary, Charlotte, nodded her head vigorously. She would never believe the chairman would hire someone like her. It was more likely for him to pay her an exorbitant rate to work for their rivals.
Yvonne glared at Charlotte before taking out her mobile phone from her bag. She scrolled through the album and there were a few pictures of Henry Moore sitting in her living room.
The photos were snippets of the surveillance footage in her house. Siobhan had it fixed because she was afraid of theft. These were just ordinary photos, but they became very handy in times like this.
Yvonne stood up arrogantly and flashed the photos in front of Charlotte before showing Manager Harper. “See for yourself. This was taken when Chairman Moore visited my house. He even brought us so many gifts.”
