Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 18
The director’s brows were furrowed. “What do you mean?”
“I bought the cakes served at the tea party from the bakery across the street. To tell apart those with peanut butter and those without, I reminded them to use foil cups for those without peanut butter. But the piece that Ms. Cloud had was in a paper cup.
“I also went around the venue just now, and none of the treats served were in foil cups, so I’m certain someone swapped them!”
Karine was appalled as she cried in discomfort, “How dare you accuse me?”
“Accuse you?” Cordelia chuckled. “Ms. Carmichael, I just said that someone swapped the cakes. I didn’t say it was you. Why are you so flustered?”
“You—” Karine glared daggers at her with her fists clenched.
“I did ask for the cakes to be in different cups,” Cordelia said clearly. “If you don’t believe me, sir, you can ask the bakery workers or check the surveillance footage. I’m new, but I’m not about to sit around and become a scapegoat! I request a thorough investigation!”
Who was in the right and who was in the wrong was clear at this point.
The director was scowling. The culprit was Karine, and Ms. Cloud was fine. However, it was unnecessary to offend the shareholder’s niece over a newbie who had just joined the company.
“Cordelia, I know what to do,” he told her perfunctorily. “Head out now. I have to talk to Ms. Carmichael.”
Cordelia nodded and left.
Karine was about to speak up when the director interrupted her sternly. “Enough!”
“What? You—”
“You think this is glorious? If Cordelia didn’t have the medication and something had happened, would you have been able to handle it?”
Karine fumed.
“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because your uncle’s a shareholder. I can take it for now, but I won’t tolerate it if you step over the line! You better think it through!”
Karine resented Cordelia even more when she failed to get her way and was warned by the director instead. It made her pick on Cordelia whenever she could.
As a result, Cordelia failed to close any sales despite being there for a month and naturally became a negative example during their regular meeting.
The morning meeting was incredibly torturous.
Cordelia felt Jesse’s suggestive gaze lingering on her, as well as Karine’s hostile gaze stabbing her like a knife.
