Chapter 96: Gemma Was Caught With Egg on Her Face
Chapter 96: Gemma Was Caught With Egg on Her Face
The sudden sound obviously disrupted the flow of the scene.
Gemma’s footsteps obviously paused for a moment. Because she was a bit caught off guard, she accidentally stumbled and hurt her ankle.
Hannah who was next to her quickly sensed this and hurriedly helped her, “Manager Morris, be careful.”
She was carefully flattering Gemma.
Gemma turned her head. The moment she saw Gianna, her face changed.
When she was in the Morris family, what she had shown was her weak and vulnerable look and this was to highlight her vulnerability in front of the dominant people so that she could get sympathy. But at this moment, being in the workplace, she knew very well that she had to use means, be ruthless, needed to be arrogant and needed everyone to be respectful towards her. So, she had to show her real personality. Besides, she had to admit that she was extremely triumphant and pleased to be flattered by others.
She had long wanted to step in to the workplace and had long wanted to be in a place like this to get everything she wanted!
But at this moment, why was Gianna here?!
And now, how should she behave and look like when facing Gianna?!
If she continued to show her current arrogance, she was clearly having an egg on her face. After all, in front of Gianna, she had always been weak and powerless.
But if she resumed her behaviour in the Morris family, then the domineering aura that she had just shown was as if she was making a fool of herself. She did not know what kind of joke would she become in the views of these employees in the future.
Gianna noticed Gemma’s panic at that moment.
Since she was afraid of being exposed, why did she want to be a double-faced person.
Gemma was about to say something.
Hannah who was helping Gemma next to her said in a tone that she was obviously in displeasure, “Aren’t you looking for the director? The director’s office is in the slightly inner part and the director is not coming yet, you may go to his office first and wait for a while.”
“I’m not looking for the director, I’m the new director of the sales department,” Gianna said directly.
“New director?” Hannah was stunned.
At that moment, she seemed to suddenly remember that she was apparently informed yesterday that the original director was transferred to another branch as general manager and a new director would come today. But, she received the news at the same time that Manager Morris by the name of Gemma who was Helen’s younger sister was also coming to work today to replace her. Everyone knew that Helen was a member of the Morris family and was someone who could not be offended in the sales department as whoever that had offended her would be spelled to an end. Although the one who came now was her younger sister, she totally dared not be negligent so she put all her effort into the matter of welcoming new Manager Morris and simply forgot to welcome the new director.
The point was that the young woman in front of her now totally did not look like someone who was going to be a director. Didn’t one have to be 30 to 40 years old in order to be qualified to become a director!
But now, even though Hannah knew she was the director, she was not afraid also.
Anyway, with Manager Morris’s support, she did not have to be afraid of this new director.
She hurriedly said, “Oh, you’re the director. It’s just nice, let me introduce Manager Morris who is a member of the Morris family to you.”
She deliberately emphasized the Morris family.
This was to remind Gianna that she must not provoke her.
It was because she could not afford to provoke.
Gianna sneered.
Hearing this, she did not feel anything was wrong but Gemma’s face changed.
It turned pale.
At this moment, she finally reacted.
If she did not react, she really could not imagine what these subordinates would do.
She totally did not dare to offend Gianna now.
Gemma hurriedly went forward and held Gianna’s hand, “My cousin, I didn’t know you also came to the company.”
Cousin?!
All the employees there were stunned.
The secretary called Hannah even froze there and was looking at Gianna in disbelief.
She also looked at Gemma who was clearly fawning.
As a secretary, she certainly had a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the Morris Group.
Helen was the niece of the chairman of the Morris Group, Alexander and the daughter of Abbott, the vice general manager of the Morris Group. Gemma was Helen’s younger sister so she naturally must be the daughter of Abbott. Now, Gemma called this woman cousin…
There were only two brothers in the Morris family, who were the chairman and the vice general manager. So, this woman was…the chairman’s daughter, Gianna Morris.
When Hannah thought of this, she almost fainted.
She never expected that the new director of the sales department was with such a strong background.
She obviously heard that the chairman’s daughter had not been interested in working and only wanted to be a good wife and mother and simply would not come to the company to help her father.
Furthermore, didn’t she just get married?
Shouldn’t there be a honeymoon after the wedding?
How could a daughter from a rich family who was not interested in working start coming to work just a few days after her wedding?!
This was really unexpected.
But it really happened now.
Hannah was so embarrassed that she wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole from this extremely awkward situation.
Gianna did not care much about Hannah.
She looked at Gemma and said carelessly, “It’s to my surprise that the employees of the Morris Group are so efficient. My father just allowed you to come to the company yesterday and now the office is already ready for you. Perfume has even been sprayed. It smells quite nice.”
The heart of the employee who sprayed the perfume tightened abruptly.
The employee could not help but lower his head and totally looked like he did not dare to see anyone.
“I wonder if someone can help me somewhat tidy up my office now since Gemma’s office has already been cleaned up?” Gianna raised her eyebrows.
Even though she did not get angry, she somewhat showed a dignity that made people look up to her.
“I’ll immediately tidy it up for Director Morris. I’ll do it personally.” Hannah flattered.
Gianna directly refused, “No need, just ask the cleaning lady to tidy it up. In ten minutes, let all the employees with positions above the supervisor of the sales department come to the meeting room for a meeting.”
“Yes.” Hannah was respectful.
Gianna turned her head and glanced at Gemma, “You also come along.”
“Okay, Gianna,” Gemma hurriedly answered.
“Where is the meeting room?” Gianna asked.
“I’ll take you there.” Hannah was solicitous to please her.
“You take me there.” Gianna randomly pointed to another employee.
She made Hannah look bad.
Hannah was extremely embarrassed.
The employee who was pointed at hurriedly went forward, “This way, Director Morris.”
Gianna left.
The moment she left, she turned back and admonished, “I’m allergic to perfume.”
Her words meant that they should not spray perfume in the office.
This sarcastic sentence was obviously meant for Gemma.
Gianna left with a domineering aura.
After leaving, Gemma furiously scolded Hannah, “Are you a waste?! You didn’t even know that my cousin came to the company? Were you doing all these to deliberately embarrass me?!”
“No, Manager Morris, I really didn’t know it was your cousin who came to be the director. I really didn’t know this. I only received the news that a new director would come and I wasn’t instructed to do anything. And when I was informed by the person of the secretary’s office, they only asked me to serve you well, nobody specifically told me that your cousin…”
“Shut up!” Gemma did not want to listen to her words anymore.
She only knew that this was her first day at work today but she was caught with egg on her face by Gianna and also got humiliated shamefully!
