In truth, Rosie held the position of deputy manager within the department, while
Nancy, who headed the entire design division, was currently overseas pursuing
her studies. Circumstances had thrust Rosie into the role of temporary
departmental authority.
Backed by Nancy's support, she naturally aligned herself with Nancy's
perspective. Nancy's intent was clear — she needed to strategize a means to
ensure Millie's departure from the department.
Furthermore, when Derek handed her the list, there was no implication that she
should extend any special treatment or favor to Millie.
Millie's brow furrowed in consternation. She had taken care to inquire about her
arrival time from Marcus, who had assured her that arriving before 8:30 was
sufficient.
“In our esteemed jewelry design department, we hold ourselves to rigorous
standards. We always arrive five minutes earlier than our colleagues in other
departments. On your first day here, Miss Millie, you should have arrived earlier.”
“I apologize, Ms. Astley. As I tread these halls for the first time,
I was unaware of this practice. Rest assured, I will adhere to this punctuality
tomorrow.”
Upon hearing Millie's meek response, Rosie's tension eased. So what if Millie
was the president's spouse? To her, Millie was but a mild wind, easily redirected.
I'll soon send her packing, Rosie thought with an inward smirk.
“Well, since this is your inaugural day, I shall overlook this transgression.” Rosie
opened a drawer, retrieved a work card, and stood, her motion fluid and
authoritative.
“This is your work card. Accept it, and follow me.”

Rosie led Millie into the expansive office of the department, her footsteps firm
and resolute.
“Attention, everyone, let us momentarily lay down our tools. Allow me to
introduce Millie, the latest addition to our creative ranks. I trust you all to foster a
collaborative spirit.”
The very name sent a ripple through the room. Heads turned, and eyes widened.
“Why is Millie working here?”
“Isn't she married to the president? What draws her to our craft?
Has she honed her skills in jewelry design? Such news escapes me.”
“Note how Ms. Astley abstained from mentioning her ties to the president.”
“It appears a spectacle awaits us in our department.”
“Enough chatter, all. Resume your work, and Millie, your seat awaits you.”
