Chapter 840: Chapter 840: Can’t Hit or Scold
The woman wore a light purple jacket over a knee-length black skirt, dressed in a playful, lively, and adorable manner.
Her slightly curled long hair exuded vitality and flamboyance.
The woman was so petite that she was hardly noticeable walking behind CEO Lorenzo.
It wasn’t until Ann Nolan looked up and saw her that she realized—
This woman was none other than Harper Glorian!
A sneer escaped Ann Nolan’s lips upon seeing Harper’s beautiful and innocent face.
No wonder she specifically requested to join the translation department. It all makes sense now.
She had thought it was some Miss Glorian.
“CEO Lorenzo,” Ann Nolan and Little Kaisan both greeted.
“Hmm,” CEO Lorenzo entered, glanced around, “Ann, you’re just in time. I was about to introduce her to you. This is your new colleague, Harper Glorian, Little Glorian. She’ll be working under you from now on. Take care of her a bit. She’s new and not very familiar with things, so please be patient.”
“Little Glorian, this is Ann Nolan, the head of the translation department. You can call her Sister Ann Nolan,” he said.
Harper approached gracefully, exuding the sweet scent of grapefruit perfume.
She smiled and extended her hand: “Sister Ann Nolan, nice to meet you.”
Ann Nolan did not extend her hand and her expression remained indifferent and cool.
Harper’s eyes shifted slightly, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Her gaze was unfathomable, making it hard to read her emotions.
“CEO Lorenzo, when did the company start hiring directly without written tests or interviews?” Ann Nolan asked softly.
“Little Glorian did take a written test. Because her performance was so outstanding, I admitted her directly!” CEO Lorenzo said, “This young lady is very capable. Ann, you’re going to have a strong assistant.”
“I happened to be looking over a contract just now and there was a phrase I didn’t quite understand. I was hoping to ask Miss Glorian for some clarification.”
Ann Nolan tossed a contract onto the desk for Harper Glorian to catch.
Harper caught it and briefly scanned the document.
There was a long silence.
In a hurry to smooth things over, CEO Lorenzo chuckled, “Ann, look at you, making things so tense. You’ll be colleagues from now on. She’s new, so take care of her a bit for my sake, okay?”
“CEO Lorenzo, you know my working style. I prefer to interview my subordinates myself; it helps me understand who can best collaborate with me,” Ann Nolan said calmly. “But CEO Lorenzo, Miss Glorian joining the translation department doesn’t quite fit my style, and it left me unprepared.”
CEO Lorenzo offered an apologetic smile: “Ann, this was a bit sudden, but rest assured, I’ve vetted her for you. Don’t you trust my judgment? Miss Glorian has a high education level, insight, and strong academic performance. She was a class president in college and the student council president. You can relax, I won’t put you at a disadvantage.”
“CEO Lorenzo, how many of the people who come to TR for an interview don’t have a high education level or good grades? You know this better than I do. I value practical skills and teamwork more, and moreover, I don’t accept subordinates who haven’t been interviewed by me,” Ann Nolan insisted.
Little Kaisan nervously sweated in silence.
What’s gotten into Sister Ann Nolan? Why is she confronting the boss?
But he couldn’t blame Sister Ann Nolan, as Miss Glorian couldn’t even translate such a simple sentence and just stood there, dumbfounded, for ages.
With that level of skill, how did she get into the translation department?
From the first glance, Little Kaisan got the impression that Miss Glorian wasn’t good at enduring hardships. If they became colleagues, he feared she might be too delicate to handle any criticism or reprimand.
Little Kaisan stood quietly on the side, not speaking for the moment.
