Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Aubrey took the lead in clapping, and others followed suit. However, their applause seemed somewhat insincere as they glanced at Stella with disdain.

Stella thought to herself, ‘Well, I wouldn’t feel great either if someone who knows nothing about perfumery became my general manager.’ She had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and assumed such a prominent role in the company. Moreover, she was the reason everyone had to pause their work just to welcome her, despite not having proven herself to the company yet.

It was understandable that people weren’t pleased with her.

With Darcie absent, Aubrey didn’t make things any easier for Stella.

Stella raised her hand, signaling for everyone to stop clapping.

When the applause gradually subsided, she asked, “Aubrey, when Jaylene joined the company, did you also organize such a grand welcome for her?”

Aubrey responded with a smile, “Jaylene is just a team leader in the fragrance department, like everyone else who joins US. But you’re different -you’re the general manager, and this is one of the perks that come with your position.”

Jaylene added, “Stella, we’re not the same. I had visited Caline before officially joining the team, so everyone already knew me. This is your first time here, and it’s important to have a formal introduction for everyone to get acquainted with you.”
