"But you didn't tell me this when you gave me the documents," said Ashley. Although her mind was a little preoccupied with Andrew, she had still paid attention to Sylvia's instructions.
Sylvia looked at her nonchalantly and said, "I didn't tell you? What rubbish! I did tell you clearly. And now, you are blaming me?"
Ashley knew that Sylvia was simply finding fault with her.
"Okay, I'm sorry that I didn't hear you clearly. I will go back and copy them again," she offered softly.
"Copy them again? Do you think I have the time to wait for you to redo it now? These materials are required urgently!" Sylvia said angrily.
Ashley didn't reply. Sylvia had not given any such instructions. So, Ashley knew very well that she was picking on her. She had no choice but to accept it. This was the treatment that every new employee suffered in an organization.
Amaia felt annoyed, seeing Sylvia being extremely arrogant. "Sylvia, don't push it. I was there when you gave Ashley the documents. You never said anything about the first or last parts of the documents. Obviously, you have come here to find fault with her. You can do this stuff by yourself if you think that you are more capable.
Moreover, if I were you, I would go and make the copies quickly instead of standing here and arguing. Maybe you will be able to meet the deadline. Otherwise, these materials will be of no use."
"Amaia, do you have to constantly go against me and protect her?" Sylvia asked bitterly.
Amaia looked at her in mock fear and said, "Ooh, I can't dare go against you! Who are you? You are the top staff in our design department. Who can dare to offend you?"
Everyone in the design department knew that Sylvia had the support of someone powerful. She had got this job in exchange for a sexual favor. But nobody ever spoke about it directly.
For one, they didn't dare to get into Sylvia's bad books, for they didn't want to annoy the man who supported her. For another, she wasn't a kind woman. So, they pretended not to know about her dirty secret. But hearing Amaia's sarcastic monologue, they couldn't help bursting into laughter.
She might be the only one who wasn't afraid of Sylvia.
Sylvia was embarrassed at being the laughi
ing you. Don't worry, we can go out together next time."
They went their respective ways after saying goodbye to each other. Meanwhile, Francis got a phone call from Ivor while he was with Ellie. "Francis, where are you now?" he asked.
"Get straight to the point," Francis ordered.
Ivor couldn't help crying in his heart. He said helplessly, "Francis, you'd better come to the hospital. That woman is creating trouble again. She wants to see you!"
He glanced at Ellie and replied casually, "I don't have time right now. You can deal with it however you see fit."
And he promptly hung up without further ado.
'I wish that woman knew her place. That's why I am allowing her to stay in my hospital, ' he thought irritably.
After Francis hung up the phone, Ellie glanced at him and said, "If you are busy, you can leave."
"No, no. How can I be busy right now? Nothing is more important than being with you, Ellie. Don't you think so?" he said, flashing her a charming smile.
Ellie looked at her mobile phone, ignoring his sweet talk.
After a while, Francis' mobile phone rang again. He cut the call without hesitation as soon as he saw the name on the screen.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again and he cut the call once more. Ellie was getting a little annoyed with this. She said impatiently, "Why don't you just answer the phone?"
"It isn't anything important. Don't worry," he said reassuringly.
As soon as he uttered these words, his phone rang again.
