Chapter 150
“Go away, go away…” Supervisor Zhou immediately dismissed them. “Each of you take a look at yourselves—do you have a good image like Esmeralda?”
Esmeralda, upon seeing her, was clearly a high-achiever, with a beautiful and elegant demeanor. This undeniably enhanced our department's image. Moreover, the big boss has seen all kinds of people. You guys are like open books; he can see through you at a glance. Someone like Esmeralda, who is honest, is more suitable.
My supervisor, Zhou, praised me excessively, and my colleagues burst into laughter, making me feel embarrassed. Manager Zhou looked at me seriously and said, “Esmeralda, go quickly. The reputation of our information room depends on you this time.”
I was dumbfounded. This task was so difficult, I couldn't even refuse. My supervisor, Zhou, told me the big boss was resting in the leadership dormitory and asked me to deliver the porridge quickly.
I didn't know where the leader's dormitory was, so he personally escorted me halfway, until the dormitory was visible, then turned back. When he turned back, he urged me again, “You must, must tell the boss in person that I personally biked to pack all this, okay? You must make him understand my hard work and our department's care for him, got it?”
I nodded, astonished. I would definitely tell the big boss what the supervisor said. As for whether the big boss would understand his hard work and our department's concern, that's another story.
The leadership dormitory had two floors, each with a single room per person, with complete facilities. The supervisor said the big boss was in the second-floor dormitory. I was carrying the packed box and walking towards the staircase when suddenly a figure stumbled towards me. I was startled and quickly moved aside. The person fell—it was Trevin's mother.
At the same time, a tall, burly man with a cold, serious, square face appeared at the corridor entrance. Dressed in a bodyguard's uniform, he stood with his hands behind his back and said to Trevin's mother, “A young girl wanting to get close to our boss is understandable. But Auntie, at your age, why are you dressed like this and trying so hard to please our boss?”
I looked at Auntie in surprise. Just now, she was wearing pants; now she was in a skirt and black stockings.
What happened? Did Auntie actually want to seduce the big boss? This is simply outrageous. Remembering how Auntie and Trevin had cared for me, I quickly went to help her up. As soon as my aunt saw me, her face changed instantly.
She shook off my hand and angrily said, “Why did you come too? Huh! Weren't you the one who kept saying you wouldn't come to flatter the big boss? Look, while everyone else is at work, you came as soon as you turned around. Is it true or not?”
I pursed my lips and remained silent. Perhaps because I witnessed her embarrassing scene, she's been increasingly unpleasant towards me. Just then, she stared at the takeout box in my hand and sarcastically said, “Oh, you even packed porridge and snacks, Esmeralda, you really put in some effort.”
“I came to visit the big boss on behalf of our department,” I said calmly. “These were also personally packed by our supervisor, who biked to get them.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the bodyguard said coldly, “You guys can leave. Our boss was already feeling uncomfortable, so don't bother him anymore.”
“But this porridge…”
I wanted to offer the porridge and snacks, but the bodyguard's fierce glare stopped me. At that moment, many people passed by, turning to look at my aunt and me, whispering and discussing. The noise was loud, and I faintly heard them calling my aunt and me shameless, saying we came to flirt with the boss during working hours.
I didn't care about those comments. Aunt's face turned red. After the bodyguard went upstairs, she grabbed me and scolded me, saying, “I've been telling you not to daydream and not to rely on rich people, but you never listen. Now, look, you've made a fool of yourself.”
I stared at her with wide eyes. Auntie, are you trying to blame me for everything?
