Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 50: What will happen if there are no errors?
Hence, the minute Clifford came back from the restroom, she ran up to him, her heels clicking against the tile flooring. "What are you doing here, Miss Nyx?" Clifford asked as soon as he saw her, curious. He tilted his head slightly, trying to understand her sudden presence."Uhm, sir, I came to submit my assigned task. It's over there," she replied, her voice slightly breathless. She pointed towards the spot where her task was kept. Clifford nodded.She checked his face for any emotion before continuing. "Ahem," she cleared her throat. "In the process of doing that, I was surprised to see that test you had given our newest intern, Henry Flakes. I must say…that's a stretch," she said.She hoped her words would catch Clifford's attention, and she could make her case.Clifford raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What do you mean by that?" he asked.Her hopes skyrocketed, seeing that Clifford was giving her attention. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "Sir, the thing
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 51: 100% sure
Caroline was thrown off by his words, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Huh?" she muttered, her eyes blinking rapidly as she tried to process what Clifford was saying.Clifford had to let out a long, deep sigh. "I said, if I review his work and find no errors, what should I do, Miss Nyx?" He emphasized each word, making sure his question was clear.Her eyes lit up with a bright light of hope. 'Finally,' she exclaimed in her mind. She straightened her posture, her chest puffing out confidently. "Well, obviously, you'd have to let me take over the project. I mean, if he can't complete such a small task within three hours without errors, how can he be trusted to evaluate markets? How incredulous!""Sir, we need trusted hands to work on this project. We're talking about venturing into a country like Deep Island. It would be absurd to entrust Henry with such responsibility. So, all I request is for me to take over the project, while Henry just focuses on doing start-up projects that would
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 52: After you, Miss Nyx.
She exhaled loudly as they, together with Clifford, stepped into the Strategy department. The lunch break was already over, so all the workers were back in the office. The atmosphere in the room was heavily charged with discussion, everyone's mouths moving and talking about one thing or the order.With his poised stride and dignified presence, Clifford commanded authority without uttering a word. Caroline faithfully followed at her heels as they made their way further into the department. A wave of silence crashed over the room the moment they heard footsteps echoing into their department. Heads swiveled toward the entrance as the discussions came to an abrupt end.They began to act serious, all eyes staring blankly at the computers, like they weren't just making noise a while ago. When Clifford entered a department, all knew to appear diligently focused on their tasks.Their gazes casted at the door, curious to see who was walking in."What's wrong?" Yara murmured, brows knitting w
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 53: Above and Beyond
So, Vice President Clifford, you can review it to know if there are errors or not in it. Please let me know your thoughts on it," he finally uttered, realizing it was the longest sentence he had spoken since the discussion began. Caroline shot Henry a fierce, triumphant look. She then stood up from her seat, making way for Clifford to take a seat and review Henry's work.She couldn't wait to start laughing at him and say, "I told you so!" Haha! She couldn't help but imagine how satisfying it would be to see Henry fail. She could barely hold her laughter.She remembered that he bet on his job saying that if there were errors, he would willingly resign. Caroline was sure that he would make at least one error and ruin his chances.Every other person in the department immediately understood what was going on. It was about the project that Henry worked on and submitted in a rush. But how did it manage to reach the Vice President's ears? This intern was nothing but trouble, clearly. In ju
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 54: Growing envy
The others around the office watched in stunned silence as they saw the look on Clifford's face too. What could this mean? They glanced at each other in confusion, brows furrowed in shock.Was that a look of admiration on his face? Was Clifford actually...impressed? By Henry's work? Anger and envy swirled within them. This made no sense at all!And what was this feeling? Could they have underestimated Henry? No, that couldn't be, she insisted inwardly. Ever since they started working in the company, they had never gotten that kind of reaction from Clifford, no matter how perfect they had made their work look. There was even a time they worked extra hours into the night for a particular project, did several researches, and even many more, just to ensure the success of the project.However, all they received from Clifford was a thumbs up emoji (👍) which was even sent through the company's mail. However, Henry did not only get a reaction, but even a reaction of admiration???What the
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 55: Whoever loses, resigns
Caroline hesitated and struggled to find the right words. She let out a nervous laugh, which sounded strange even to herself."Um, well, it's just...," she trailed off, her mind racing. "Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm exceptionally happy that my subordinate..." She paused, feeling bitter as she said the word. Subordinate? As if."Um, ha! Actually nailed it! But, you know, I just didn't expect it to be this impressive. Great job, Henry!" She forced a cheerful tone.However, in her heart, she felt like crying her eyes out because of how the whole saga turned out to be a big blow on her face. How did he even do it without errors? It was so not logical. Even the most perfect of people would make at least an error!Fuck!This loss infuriated her to no end. But she refused to be defeated here. This loss wouldn't stop her from actualizing her dreams. If Henry wanted to play dirty, then two could play at that game. Her dreams of leading the Deep Island project were not over yet. The goal was
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 56: underestimating the newbie
"What?" Caroline exclaimed as she heard his words. Resignation!?"What do you mean by that, Henry?" She asked, her mind racing. She suddenly felt a bit uncertain about the whole thing. Henry didn't even make any serious facial expression throughout, like he knew that everything would turn out according to what he wanted. Was this another trick against her? "I mean it as it is, Ma'am," he replied, his gaze fixed upon her intensely without an emotion crossing it. He was so ready to put her to shame. She was crossing her limits already."If your work proves to be as good, or even better than mine as you said, which I believe could happen, I would willingly resign from the organization and never return. However, if mine proves to be better, you will have to resign. Do we have a deal, Miss Nyx?" He said.Caroline's heart skipped several beats. What was this sudden change in plans? With the way things looked, Henry was surely up to no good. But still, she looked at the brighter side. If sh
Worthless Son-In-law in Disguise 57: I can't do anything about it
"Okay, since this is settled, I will take my leave now." Clifford said, turning back to go to his office. However, he halted when he remembered something. "Mis Nyx," he turned back and called."Sir." She responded quickly, her smile widening."You said you gave Mr. Henry Flakes that assignment to do right?" He asked.The smile on Caroline's face faded as she frowned, confused at where this was heading. "Yes sir....""Well, I noticed something concerning about the assignment. You mentioned that it was given to him that morning, right? That workload seemed too much, filled with outdated projects even from two to three years ago. It looked like you deliberately wanted him to struggle. And the most interesting part is when you asked him to submit them by noon. Care to explain this?""Erm...." Caroline's words choked in her throat, unable to come out. She couldn't believe she had just exposed herself. It was true, due to her anger, she had mindlessly gathered up a bunch of rubbish, old file
