Chapter 202 Being Challenged
“Ms Warren, the talent you recruited is average, just like you”
Josie stood on the spot. It seemed like Laura was so confident because she had investigated everything about Josic
“Yes. It’s a shame that I’m the head of Russell Group’s design department. No one can change this fact.”
Laura raised her brows and said haughtily. “Let’s see who calls the shots.”
After that, she walked to the elevator before everyone and pressed the button to the highest floor.
Some people were discussing Laura. Where did this woman come from? “Ms. Warren, do you know her?”
Josie smiled bitterly. “I just met her yesterday.”
She paused and walked to Kevan, who had an embarrassed expression. “Don’t be discouraged. You’re new, so you can’t compare yourself to her. She has a good grasp on the basics.”
Kevan felt warm toward this gentle woman. He looked down. I’ve been arrogant, but I feel like I’m only mediocre.”
“How can that be? Are you questioning my foresight?” Josie said half-jokingly.
“No. Ms. Warren, as far as I know, Russell Group’s design department is dominated by people with good educational backgrounds. Why did you choose me?”
“I said that academic qualifications aren’t important in design. Don’t undervalue yourself. Come in for onboarding on Monday. You will learn a lot here and outdo that woman just now.” Josie took a deep breath as she smiled and consoled Kevan.
Kevan felt a lot better, and his gaze was warm.
ing a busy morning, Josie was about to go for lunch when she suddenly received Dexter’s c. ‘Come up!
She held her cell phone tightly and felt slightly heavy-hearted. In the end, she walked to the elevator. She wanted to know what had happened.
Dexter had recorded her thumbprint in his personal elevator. She could come and go as she pleased. No one other than the staff on the highest floor knew about it.
Not many people were around during noon.
When she went up, Dexter was unexpectedly still meeting with executives of external companies that Russell Group was working with. It was an important meeting.
When Dexter heard the noise, he looked out and waved Ivy over to speak to her. Not long after, Ivy, who had been taking meeting minutes, walked out. “Ms. Warren, Mr. Russell is still in a meeting. Please wait for
a moment.”
Ivy was polite enough, and Josie didn’t answer. Josie didn’t care that Ivy had called her ‘Ms. Warren! Ivy seemed to be deliberately avoiding something. However, it wasn’t important.
Ivy led her to the greenhouse. Many fresh flowers and plants were freely growing in the upscale office.
After the food was sent over, Ivy was about to serve it when Josie stopped her. “I’ll wait.”
I’ll wait for him.
Josie casually grabbed a book on a small bookshelf and looked down while flipping through it earnestly. Her thoughts flickered quickly. Didn’t Laura come up just now?
“Josie.” Ivy didn’t leave. She stared at Josie.
Josie looked up from the book and said with a forced smile, “Is something wrong, Ms. Miller?”
“As Mr. Russell’s wife, you shouldn’t interfere in his work.”
Ivy was solemn, but Josie was nonchalant. Josie sat on the swing in the greenhouse and swayed absentmindedly. “Are you referring to Jesse? I didn’t ask him to terminate the partnership.”
“Do you dare claim that you’ve said nothing? Mr. Russell isn’t an emotional person when it comes to making decisions. The project with Jesse was already starting, but Russell Group had to pay a penalty of millions because of you.”
“Millions. My humiliation wasn’t in vain.” Josie waved her fingers as she counted.
Ivy laughed in her rage. She quickly taunted Josie. “Don’t be too pleased with yourself. Mr. Russell won’t change his mind because of you unless something is wrong with the person. Do you know that Jesse is being investigated for illegal conduct? Wavery News will release this in a few days.”
