Chapter 017

"Ah-choo!"

Lucia inexplicably felt a chill on her back, and just after she got on the elevator, she let out a loud sneeze,

Could it be that someone missed her?

She rubbed her nose and she didn't think much of it. She watched the elevator stop at the floor of the administration department, and only then she got off the elevator.

When she got out of the elevator, just at the moment she walked to the public office area of the administration department, a colleague approached her and said, "Assistant Mitchel, Mrs. Carter is looking for you and she is waiting for you in her office."

Mrs. Carter?

Lucia's heart tightened and she immediately straightened up. After she thanked her colleague, she hurriedly walked in the direction of the supervisor's office,

It was about to be the end of the work, what could be the reason for Mrs. Carter to come to her at this time?

Lucia's heart was drumming. When she came to the office door, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. After she heard a response from inside, she pushed the door and walked in.

Mrs. Carter sat in front of the desk and she waved at her, "Lucia, come here." "Mrs. Carter, what's wrong?"

"I have heard that now the holiday benefits are your responsibility. You have just been promoted, and this is your first mission, which is more or less difficult for you. But you must do a good job, first of all, you also know that this holiday benefits related to the moods of the company's employees and their work motivations. These are very important for the company. And secondly ...................................................................... "

When Mrs. Carter said that, the tone of her voice suddenly lightened a little, "you also know that now you were promoted to the position of administrative assistant, there are many people in the department are not convinced about that. This is the first task you took over after taking office, so you must do a good job. Only then, everyone would be convinced, are you understand?"

Mrs. Carter's words made Lucia's heart tight, she nodded and said, "Mr. Carter, I see."

It's not that she couldn't feel the change in the attitude of her colleagues in the department, so this first task was critical for her. And she wanted to prove herself through this opportunity.

"It's good that you know it." Mrs. carter nodded slightly, "You also know my temper. If things are not done well, I will not show you any mercy.”

Lucia nodded and she said, "Don't worry Mrs. carter, I won't let you down."

"I'm just reminding you, and don't be too nervous. Go and get busy."

Lucia took a deep breath, she turned around and walked out of the supervisor's office. She was thinking back and forth in her mind about what Mrs. Carter said.

Today she ran outside all day, and two of her feet were worn. But things have not been negotiated, so it was clear that this matter was not as simple as she imagined

"Sister Lisa, what about that, we can go to eat barbecue tonight, and next time we can go to eat hot pot!"

"Okay, listen to you guys. Anyway, recently I do not need to work overtime."

Hearing the sound of laughter, Lucia looked up and she saw several female colleagues were talking and were chatting in the refreshment area. And the one surrounded in the middle was Lisa.

Lucia's eyes lit up, she suddenly had an idea and took a step towards them. As soon as she approached, the few people over there who were laughing and joking fell silent. Lisa raised her eyes, and when she saw Lucia, a trace of coldness darted across her eyes.

Chapter 017

"Lisa, do you have time? I have something to ask you."

Mrs. Carter said, she could always ask Lisa anything she didn't clear and didn't understand at any time. Now in what she was doing, she encountered a difficult problem. Lisa should not sit idly by.

"What is it?" Lisa held a cup, and she took a sip of tea. Her attitude towards Lucia was somewhat deliberately estranged.

Lucia looked at her colleagues who were standing next to Lisa and were reluctant to leave, then she took a deep breath and said, "It's a work matter, and I'd like to consult you alone." .

"At work?" Lisa heard that, and she smiled. A trace of Barcasm surfaced under her eyes, "You shouldn't come to ask me about work matters, right?"

She straightened her back and she continued without waiting for Lucia's answer, "It took me three years to get promoted from an ordinary employee to an administrative assistant, not including the internship period. But you stayed at The Lion group for two years once you graduated, and now you've been promoted from the top. It means that you must have something the others could not surpass. I should learn from you."

After she said that, the next few colleagues laughed out loud without prior consultation, and then they looked at Lucia with a few more indefinable sarcasm.

Lucia stood in the same place, she only felt that her cheeks was burning hot.

Lisa's words sounded fine at first glance, but the reasonable one could understand that she was in front of everyone humiliating her. And she clearly said that Lucia improperly got her position.

Seeing that she didn't say anything for half a day, Lisa smiled and said to her colleagues, "This holiday benefit was organized by Mitchel's assistant, so you should be looking forward to it. I wonder if this year's holiday benefit will be more surprising than previous years?"/

Lucia bit her lip, but she couldn't say a word.

Originally she thought Lisa was nice, or at least kind to her. But she didn't think it was just her superficial disguise!

Rather than continued to stand here to be humiliated by them, it was better to leave.

Lucia glanced at Lisa, she clenched her fist and turned around. Then she walked quickly in the direction of her office.

At this point, it seemed that there was no way out. Everything would have to depend on herself.

With a sigh, Lucia prepared the necessary documents and she went straight back to the villa after work.

After returning to the villa, Lucia was not in the mood to eat so she ate a few bites hastily before she going back to the bedroom to continue her research.

The problem she had to face now was how to use the limited funds given by the company to prepare holiday benefits and to make most of the company's employees like it.

It was difficult to please everyone. How to made the useful funds to their maximum potential was the biggest problem.

Lucia was so focused on viewing the information that she didn't notice the door of the room was gently pushed open.

August stood in the doorway and he saw the woman who sat at the table had no reaction.

He lightened his steps, then he slowly stepped forward and he came around to her back.

He only saw that this woman was taking notes. She looked like an elementary school student who took several different colors of pen in writing and drawing.

August stood in place, he silently watching her every move. Lucia flipped through the information for a while, and then she chewed on the pen to think of something, but there seemed to have only a few progress.

Finally, he could not help but ask, "What are you reading?"

She suddenly heard a voice coming from behind, Lucia was startled. Her body shook violently, and the

Goouments in her hands directly scattered on the ground.

She tumed her head in a panic and she was surprised to see August standing behind her, "You...why are you here!"

Seeing the woman's face staring at him with fear, August frowned slightly. He did not expect her to react so

much.

August raised his eyebrows, "It's my home. If I'm not here, where else can I be?

When he said that, he unhurriedly bent down to pick up the papers scattered on the ground. And after he read the few large words on it, he understood clearly what she was working on.

"...I didn't mean that." Lucia's cheeks reddened, "It's just that you appeared so suddenly that it startled me."

August put the paper in his hand on the table and he looked at the woman's frightened appearance. He couldn't help but feel a little amused, "So timid?"

Lucia paused, she blushed and embarrassingly said that "I'm not very bold... indeed, I'm not very bold, I get startled easily."

"Then I'll pay attention next time." August hooked his lips, "How are things at work? Can you handle it? Do you need my help?"

Lucia was stunned and she reacted when she saw August gestured with his chin to the papers on his desk.

"No." She shook her head repeatedly, "I want to get the job done through my own strength, and also kind of ....................... use this opportunity to prove myself."

She knew very well that maybe one word from August would solve the problem in front of her, but she didn't want that. She wanted to prove to everyone what she could do.

Seeing the woman's firm eyes, August's heart suddenly swept a few moments of relief. He hooked his lips in satisfaction and said softly. "Then it's up to you."
