My Mute Bride

Chapter 245 She Missed the Date

“What? Who is that? Why didn’t you tell me earlier? The Human Resources department has been busy with this issue.” “Was it that hard to come up with this solution?”

Justin’s eyes were raised. “In my opinion, what the Human Resources department needs to consider is to find a new sales director instead of a general manager.”

Rachel froze slightly before she finally understood. Since the last general manager of Burton Pharmaceuticals—the Burton Group’s child company—left, the position had always been vacant.

When Justin hastily hired Rachel from abroad with a high pay, he intended for her to temporarily fill in the role of a sales director while he observed her capabilities to see if she was fit to be a general manager.

However, Rachel’s true intention of returning to the country was not for the promotion and pay raise. “Do you mean me?” she asked in shock.

Justin slightly nodded. “Apart from you, no one else is suitable for the position, isn’t it?”

“I think you should reconsider your decision. Managing a team and managing a company is different. I have no experience in the latter, so I think it’s better if you hire a professional for this position.”

“Everyone has to start somewhere. I believe that you have the capability to do so.”

With a firm expression on his face, he said, “This settles it. I already informed the Human Resources department. After Valentines’ Day, they will issue an official notice to your job scope.”

“Are you in such a rush?”

“Is that so? I even thought that it’s pretty slow. If it weren’t for the formal procedures of the company that we have to adhere to, I would just issue a notice immediately.”

Looking conflicted, Rachel wanted to say something but after a while, she remained silent.

After all, she knew Justin’s temperament very well. Once he had already made a decision, it would be very difficult to change his mind.

“Since you have already made your decision, I shall go back first.” Rachel got up from her seat. “I think you should take some time to look over the candidates that the Human Resources department gave to you—there might be someone else who is more suitable than me for the job.”

“I’ll pass.”

With that, he threw the documents in the trash right in front of her. “It’s decided, then. You don’t need to ask me to reconsider anymore. As opposed to handing the task to an outsider, I trust you better.”

Upon hearing that, Rachel smiled at him and made her move to leave.
