As they force getting in and standing behind Victor, the elevator gives an overload alarm. Now they start looking at each other, waiting for someone to get out of the elevator. But those two female employees, Abigail and Sarah, act so ignorant with what’s going on. “Hey, we are not going anywhere if there’s no one to leave the elevator,” says someone from the back. “Oh, nice! You have a better brain than the others. Why are you still here then?” replies Abigail. That guy doesn’t have the courage to answer, since his position in the company is lower than her. So are everyone else inside that elevator. None of them dare to reply to her word. However, none of them intends to leave the elevator either. Suddenly, Sarah secretly knocks Nancy’s elbow from behind, aiming to hit her ulnar nerve. “Aww!” Nancy has no choice but to let go of the document. She is shocked, feeling a kind of short circuit electric current on her elbow. Those documents scatter on the floor, right at the elevato
But Nancy is still looking so reluctant. After all, she has something she needs to do with the documents she is currently holding. “I’d like to help you to get there. But I have to deliver this document to my supervisor. He needs these documents since he is going to attend the meeting too,” she declines politely. “So, why don’t you just take them to the meeting room and meet with him there?” “No, I’m afraid he is going to yell at me there.” “It’s okay, I’ll try to explain your situation to your supervisor later,” Victor holds her hand and takes her with him to the elevator. Now Nancy is getting even more timid. She is so sure that Victor is having a higher position than her supervisor, considering how confident he is in promising that he can explain everything to her supervisor. “Um, why don’t you just follow me to take this document first to my supervisor, and then you can go with him later to the meeting,” she suggests. “Oh, okay then!” He then follows Nancy to deliver the do
Meanwhile, the meeting room is a bit frenzied, since they’ve been waiting quite long enough. Especially Oliver, who becomes impatient because Nancy hasn’t delivered the documents he asked. He already knows that his new boss is his former colleague in college. But he has left a bad impression since his first meeting with Victor at the restroom yesterday. He couldn't afford any risk to leave another bad impression in front of his new boss two days in a row. He starts to be so awry, that even one wrong move would end up in his resignation. After all, he has heard about the resignation of some executives right after Victor’s appointment as the new President. “That damn useless timid girl. What takes her so long?” he grumbles. His awry face catches Abigail’s attention, his superior who happens to be sitting beside him. Of course, she knows what’s in Oliver’s mind, because she is the one who held Nancy down before at the elevator. But somehow, she just plays ignorant on Oliver. “Are yo
Due to the resignation of the general manager for the Marketing Department yesterday, Mrs. Emilia has to take care of this department since she is The Vice President for Marketing. At least, until Viona finds the next general manager to fill that position. Despite the fact Mrs. Emilia has the same level with Viona as The Vice President, she knows that Viona has stronger influence in the company. Not to mention that Viona is the one that Charles William trusts the most. And so, Mrs. Emilia starts the introduction of the new President of Counterbrand. She deliberately makes it short, since she doesn’t like to repeat what Viona had delivered before in introducing Victor to the other executives yesterday. In the end, she only tells everyone about the name, and about Victor’s vision for Counterbrand in general. But then, Victor halts her by offering a seat and whispers to her. “Can I have the chance for a moment to say something before we start the meeting?” “Oh? Sure! The meeting is a
However, Mrs. Emilia doesn’t do anything, not saying any single word either, since Victor is looking like he hasn’t finished his speech. After all, Victor is the boss now and the meeting is still at his hand. Mrs. Emilia tries her best to restrain her anger, letting Victor make his decision regarding that issue. Meanwhile, Victor hasn’t changed his facial expression. He is still looking so carefree with his light smile which has adorned his face for a while. “I’m not looking for an apology here. I’m looking for an answer. Sarah Campbell, what would you do in that position?” Victor asks. Sarah is startled to find the new boss already knows her full name. She averts her attention to Nancy with an irritated stare, suspecting that Nancy has told everything about her to this new president. “Sarah Campbell?” Victor calls again to avert her attention to him. “Ah? I’m so sorry, Mr. President. I shouldn’t push you out. I should have volunteered myself to get out of the elevator before,” sh
Nancy didn’t imagine being invited to the meeting. Let alone to be appointed as the official manager to replace Abigail. She starts doubting herself, whether she can answer the trust that Victor has put on her. And somehow, Victor already understands a bit of Nancy’s inferiority complex. But he believes that her inferiority complex comes from her desperation after doing her best, which has been fruitless so far. “Rest assured! If talking about working hard, I believe you’ve been working hard for this company more than anyone else,” Victor pats her shoulder before leaving her there. Some other employees express their congratulations to Nancy, despite only showing happy looks on their face. They are the people who really recognize Nancy’s effort. Especially Gianna, who has been with her for five years. Abigail enters the room again, and there she is startled to find Nancy is already sitting on her chair. She begins to realize that her position as an official manager is really taken o
He may look cheerful at the moment. However, Victor is actually so tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. He just puts on that cheerful face only to hide his sleepiness. Now he is like a thief, moving so swiftly trying his best to not attract anyone’s attention. Especially from those who already know who he is. But then… “Good day, Sir! Ah, I mean. Good day, Victor!” someone greets him from behind. It startles Victor. He is not even able to hide his shock expression. Apparently, that man knows who Victor is. But still, he looks a bit confuse, seeming so curious with Victor’s startled reaction. He knows that Victor is his boss. But somehow, he finds Victor acting like a thief who just gets caught. Victor remembers the man’s face, who is one of the supervisors who attended the meeting before. And so, Victor takes a quick pick on his ID card, to find out his name. “Oh? Hi, Kareem!” Victor replies with a greeting. “Is there something I can do for you?” that man named
Now, Viona has to find an excuse for Victor, so that he is not going to disappoint his dad again like before. The truth is, she had done it before when Victor spent his money to buy that 1 Million dollars ring. Thanks to her, Charles William didn’t cancel his intention to appoint Victor as President of Counterbrand. And now, she needs to come up with a new way to help Victor. “Oh, that’s right. We just had a meeting this morning. Maybe he turned his phone silent and then forgot to turn it back to normal,” she says. [Is that how it is?] “It’s highly possible that his phone is still in silent mode currently. But I believe he is still in the office building somewhere. This is his second day working here, and I think he went somewhere to learn more about the company. Anyway, is there something important that you want to tell him?” [It’s not that important. I just want to talk with him so bad, since I canceled my intention to meet him previously. As a father, I can’t deny that I really
