Chapter 308 Singling Out Bianca
When Bianca went to work on Monday, she realized that her colleagues were looking at her in a variety of expressions, including
sympathy, pity, disdain, and glee. Some people were whispering behind her back, but only Sue was the one who cared for her.
Sue could not take it anymore. She pulled Bianca to a corner and asked her about the post on Xeddit.
"Bianca, I've read the post, and I think that it's a false rumor. I know your character, and I don't think the woman in the post is
you. Don't worry about it. You only have to focus on your work."
Bianca was moved.
She had a colleague who believed in her when everyone else was doubtful.
She said that she was fine and asked Sue about Nina.
"Nina was in low spirits. Her illness seemed to be quite serious, and she didn't talk much," Sue answered, not quite sure what
was going on.
Nina used to be a positive and energetic young woman. No matter how sick she was, she had never been so lifeless.
Bianca felt guilty when she heard Sue's description. "It's all my fault..."
Sue did not know how Nina's condition was related to Bianca.
She jokingly tapped Bianca's shoulder and said, "What do you mean? We all get sick at some point. Her sickness has nothing to
do with you. She'll be fine after a few days' rest. Don't worry, her mother is taking care of her at home."
"Have you completed the design, Bianca?" The department lead walked into the office when Bianca was lost in thought.
She was dressed in a dark-colored woolen jacket with a V-neck. Her pale cleavage was vaguely visible underneath.
As she walked, her breasts jiggled up and down, which made for an eyecatching scene.
"What design?" Bianca was confused.
Sue tried to speak up for her. "So many things happened to Bianca lately. She's just returned from her leave. Can you give her
two more days?" "You're really not qualified to be an employee of T Corporation, Bianca!" The department lead said unhappily.
"Do you think that your family owns the company, that you can come and go whenever you want? You might have taken a leave
of absence, but I've sent all your tasks to your work email. Didn't you have time to check it?"
Bianca did not reply. She knew that she had neglected her duties.
Indeed, she had not been checking her work email for the past few days. She did not expect that the department lead would
assign tasks to her because she was on leave.
However, Bianca was not one to shirk off responsibilities. "I'm sorry, Madam," she said, "I didn't check my mailbox, and so I didn't
see the tasks you've assigned me." "You're not dedicated to your job, Bianca," the department lead scolded loudly, "Don't you
know that you should at least check your mailbox even if you're not in the office? As a designer, how could you ignore your
mailbox for days?" "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I promise that this won't happen again." Bianca kept on apologizing.
"What's the point of apologizing? You'll have to submit the design by tomorrow. The client has already asked for it several times.
If we delay the submission because of your personal reasons, you'll have to bear all the responsibility," the department lead said
disdainfully.
"Alright. I'll get to it now." Bianca understood that the department lead was making life difficult for her.
It was indeed her fault for not checking her mailbox when she had the time.
She took it as a lesson and reminded herself that she would not make the same mistake again.
Bianca opened her mailbox. Indeed, the department lead had sent her an email two days ago.
According to the company rules, an employee need not perform any work- related tasks while they were on leave, but the
department lead was deliberately finding fault with Bianca. She had received some benefits from Mavis and was encouraged to
make Bianca quit.
Adding on to the fact that the department lead was not fond of Bianca, she was all too eager to play the role of the villain.
Sue stole a glance at the contents of Bianca's mailbox.
She noticed the name of the client and instantly frowned. "Bianca, why did the department lead assign such a difficult task to a
new employee like you? There are so many experienced designers in the company." "Is there a problem with the design?"
Bianca asked curiously.
"The problem isn't with the design but with the client. Six famous designers in our company produced more than a dozen drafts
for them, but not only had they rejected everything, but they also said that our designs are worthless... I handed in two drafts as
well, but they're both rejected. I'm not sure what kind of design the client wants, but I don't think they ought to be nitpicking so
much. Think about it, even the most famous designer in the company got rejected, and you're just a rookie..." Sue said
indignantly.
Bianca did not say anything. She was lost in thought.
If the department lead assigned the task to her, she would do her best no matter how difficult it might be.
"Pretty ladies! Anyone here willing to make me a cup of coffee?" An attractive masculine voice was heard from outside. A
moment later, the handsome Louis walked in through the door.
When the department lead saw him, she puffed up her chest and blushed." Good morning, Vice President Crawford. I'll get the
coffee for you."
Louis Crawford might be the vice president of T Corporation, but he had nothing except for a title and seldom appeared in the
company. Even so, many female employees of T Corporation admired him, not only because he had a substantial stake in the
company because he was from the
Crawford family, but also because he had a charming appearance and a silvertongue.
Luke Crawford was too distant and aloof. The female employees would rather fantasize about getting married to Louis.
Either way, one would still become a Mrs. Crawford.
One of such female employees was the lead of the design department.
Bianca shot a quick glance at Louis, then returned to perusing the design brief.
As much as she tried to diminish her presence, Louis immediately picked out Bianca. "The pretty lady in the yellow coat over
there, can you make a cup of coffee for me? I've heard from my elder brother that you make good coffee."
The only woman with a yellow coat in the office was Bianca.
Bianca lifted her head. She felt helpless when she looked at Louis, who pretended not to recognize her.
Meanwhile, the department lead had the urge to disfigure Bianca's pretty face!
'This is ridiculous! She's new in the company, but she has gotten the CEO’s attention. Now, even the vice president wants her to
make him coffee!'
