A Graduation Gift

Things at work seemed to be picking up just when Cassandra returned to the company.

Mr. Wang brought several friends to Qin Group and recommended Cassandra to take on a few projects for them.

"Mr. Wang spoke highly of Manager Qin's working ethic and recommended your company to us. Don't let us down!" a client remarked as he signed the contract with Cassandra.

She was on a roll. It almost seemed like she was already used to getting such demands.

"Rest assured that we will do our best to satisfy every client!"

Cassandra replied confidently, which made the client smile with content.

With this momentum and word-of-mouth among clients, Qin Group should be able to move past its current financial predicament pretty soon.

Right after the client left, someone else came knocking on the door, looking for trouble instead of business.

"Cassandra, come out here!"

Cassandra knitted her eyebrows when she heard the familiar voice obnoxiously shouting from the cubicle outside the office.

"Manager Qin, there's a man out there causing trouble. Should we ask security to kick him out?"

the assistant asked her through the slightly opened door, looking distraught.

"No, it's someone I know. Send him in,"

Cassandra replied as she calmly put away her papers.

Lionel kicked open the door of her office, stormed in and stood in front of her desk.

"You have some nerve snatching away clients from Tang Group. Who gave you the right to do that, huh? Are you out of your mind?"

Lionel glared, his face full of indignation.

As it turned out, Mr. Wang and the other clients who recently signed their contracts with Cassandra were Lionel's old clients. When he found out that their most recent works were signed with Cassandra, he fumed with anger thinking that Cassandra was deliberately trying to sabotage him.

Stunned, Cassandra looked at the angry Lionel who almost looked like a rabid monster.

"Lionel, you don't have proof to back up that accusation," she answered.
