Chapter 8
Bella’s POV: “Would you like to have dinner with your friends?” Asked Gary suddenly. Just then, Hank drove the car over. “My friend is here!” I said quickly. “Boyfriend?” “No, it‘s just... an ordinary friend.” I quickly denied. Bella, why are you blushing? Are you shy? Gary continued to ask. I raised my head and accidentally met Herbert‘s eyes. I instinctively lowered my head and quickly said, “Goodbye, manager!” I quickly sat in the passenger seat, looked through the glass, and then turned away. My personality is usually very direct and I don‘t hesitate at all. What happened today? I asked myself in my heart...
Early the next morning, as soon as I walked into the office, I was met with a serious look on Gary‘s face.
“A few days ago, our finance department made a major mistake in the development project. We were asked to go there.”
“How serious is it?” I asked nervously.
I spent half a month working overtime in the finance department to complete the plan. I was in charge of it. “I don‘t know either. We‘ll know when we get there.” The director was also very nervous.
As soon as I walked into the office with Gary, Herbert angrily threw the two–inch thick bag on the desk.
“How do you work? How can you make low–level mistakes? Do you know how important this project is to the company?” Mistake? The parameters were all taken care of by Joey. Her mother was seriously ill these days, and she was very anxious every day. She must have neglected it. “How could the parameters be wrong?” The Gary was very surprised. “Go and check the situation of the company’s employees this time. They have caused such a big loss to the company. We must chase them severely!” Herbert was so angry that he unbuttoned his shirt.
“I‘ll go and investigate...” Without waiting for the report to finish, I immediately said, “Mr. Wharton, I don‘t think it‘s the time to pursue responsibility. I‘m just trying to think of a way to remedy the case.”
Joey’s mother was still in the hospital, so she spent a lot of money. Joey needed this salary very much.
Joey is my good friend. I hope that I can help her. “Make up for it? How?” Herbert’s tone was very serious.
12:21D The director lowered his head and explained to me, “There will be a bidding meeting next Monday, and it‘s too late to calculate again.”
I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I looked up and said, “There are still six days before the next Monday. I‘m responsible for the calculation.”
The director frowned and said to me, Bella, there are several major projects in the finance department recently. I can‘t transfer anyone to help you.
“I know, I believe I can definitely do it again before next Monday!” I promised. Joey couldn‘t live without this job. I knew it would take a lot of time to calculate again, but I still wanted to try my best.
However, Herbert‘s face was full of contempt. “Do you think you can do it all by yourself in six days? Do you think you‘re faster than a computer?” “Is the computer also man-made?” I whispered. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
This sentence made the office immediately quiet down. Herbert stared at me coldly, and I immediately lowered my head. I knew that I was impulsive when I spoke.
.
A few seconds later, he said to me seriously, “Well, if you can‘t finish your account on Monday, you can leave the company!” I reached out to pick up the budget table and said, “Understood, i‘ll do it.” Anyway, I don‘t have a good impression of him. I don‘t think it‘s possible for me to get promoted and get a raise in the future. It‘s better to let Joey stay. If I can‘t finish this task, I can change my job.
