Cordelia grew nervous seeing Linda reel in her smile and put on a serious expression. “What’s the matter?”

“I passed by Mr. Johnson’s office this morning and heard him talking to Karine. You were mentioned.”

Cordelia’s face fell.

Michael Johnson was Karine’s uncle, a major shareholder in the company. She had hit Karine the other day, and the latter must have complained about her to her uncle.

She would not get to stay in the company now, but she had yet to send out her resume. She also had a few cases on hand…

“Don’t get nervous now.” Linda patted the back of Cordelia’s hand. “I was quite surprised when I heard the conversation. Karine kept badmouthing you, but Mr. Johnson said nothing. He praised your capabilities at work instead and sounded like he wanted to promote you to the sales team leader!”

“What did you say?” Cordelia widened her eyes and was instantly puzzled.

She was just a meager salesperson and had not met a higher executive like Michael much. She did not know what he was like either. Despite that, she had often heard the seniors in the office saying that the man was cultured and polite. He was easy to get along with and was not completely biased in favor of Karine.

“Maybe Mr. Johnson values those capable and not those who are family?” Linda looked at her. “Two veterans in the sales department left and took many clients with them. This is the time the company needs talented people. Cordelia, maybe this is an opportunity!”

Cordelia pressed her lips together and stayed silent.

She remembered what Marcus had taught her. When she was unsure about something or someone, she could put herself in their shoes to consider the matter.
