Chapter 53
Chris’s pov
When I entered the office, the manager was in the middle of giving me a hard time. I displayed the time on my cell phone. Manager, I am two minutes short, I am not late.”
Dunn was so angry that his orchid fingers stood up. “You are in luck this time. Have you finished copying the rules and regulations?”
“No, I am going to go now.”
I retreated to my desk, but luckily I escaped.
Everyone seemed sleepy on Monday morning, and everyone was still engrossed in the weekend hustle and bustle.
“Chris, did you order?” Avery comes in with a very delicate packing box.
I looked up. “I didn’t order it.”
“This is your takeout.” He sets the snack on my desk.
“Thank you.” In my heart, I already know who sent me something, and only that person knows I did not eat breakfast.
The colleague looked envious and said, “Wow, that’s takeout from a top restaurant. I have been to dinner before. Even if I had had breakfast, it would cost at least several hundred dollars. Chris, who bought it for you? What a luxury.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
When I opened the lid of the box, it turned out to be lobster mash with many delicious garnishes.
Avery said to me with a scowl, “Chris, do you have a boyfriend?”
A boyfriend? The first person that came to mind was Kenneth, who I washed dishes with yesterday at the spa.
I have done such intimate things with him, but is he my boyfriend?
“Is not that nonsense? Chris is so beautiful that she must have a boyfriend. Her boyfriend still loves her very much.”
The colleague pointed at my neck and I did not respond. he left some marks on me.
I hesitated and answered, “Yes, I have a boyfriend.”
“Really. You’d better eat quickly. After a while, the manager will see that you have suffered.” Avery looked at me and said.
I didn’t dare eat. The manager had it in for me, so I put the lid back on and set it aside.
Dunn’s point of view
In the glass room, I can see very well. If Chris dares to eat, I’ll go right out.
“Hum, you little bitch, you know it!” When I look closely at Chris copying in the sun, her skin is delicate and white. The red marks on her neck adds a charming ” that makes me envious of how lucky the man who got her is.
I secretly swore that I had to get Chris into bed. I did not think she could stand to beg herself if she copied it so many times.
As everyone knows, this girl is pretty stubborn. She has not come to beg me in a week. It seems like she has to come up with a stronger method to “force” her into submission.
Chris’s point of view
I spent another day copying and dragging my tired body home. How can you feel any more tired than you do at school?
This week, aside from being tortured by the manager at work, I feel pretty good. Neither Warren nor Kenneth have contacted me.
I stay home and play games at night, and my life is indescribably full and comfortable.
After copying it one last time, I sent it to the manager’s office, along with a thick stack of rules and regulations.
“Dunn, I copied it five hundred times.”
He checked my handwriting carefully and his expression finally turned very ugly. “All right, let us forget about being late. If you dare to be late again, copy it a thousand times!”
“Dunn, then I should be able to work officially?”
That is the main purpose of my coming to the company. My goal is to learn in the company. I have not learned anything for more than half a month.
Dunn looked at me. “What can you do as a new intern? Do any odd jobs for a year, and everyone else comes here like this.”
I was indignant to hear that I was going to be doing odd jobs for a year. “Dunn, you can not use your position to get back at me!”
“That I am using my position to get back at you, you made it clear to me.”
“I rejected and hit you at the interview that time. You were just trying to get back at me. How can you act like that as a leader?”
I have been lenient all over the place for more than half a month, and Dunn must be doing his best to torture me!
“Someone has seen it? I am telling you, this is a business. Do not talk nonsense and do not slander the boss. I can fire you at any time.”
“You!” I was so angry that my face changed.
Of course, I didn’t have to copy next time, but Dunn did not arrange anything for me at all, but ran some extra errands for me. Either to copy things or to buy afternoon tea and fast food for colleagues so that other people would send me on errands.
I had no choice but to go to other people whenever I had time, take the initiative, help people fill out forms, and slowly acquire knowledge.
Once again, I was sent by Dunn to buy afternoon tea before I returned. I walked into the office alone with a bunch of “milk” tea and coffee.
“Chris, this is hard work.”
“Nothing, I’ll send the tea to the manager.”
Behind them whispered, “That Dunn has gone too far. He’s been torturing people since Chris’s first day.”
“Yeah, I do not know where Chris offended him. She’s obviously a little girl with such a good temper.”
“Who knows, I admire Chris too, if it was me I would have left a long time ago, and she’s been able to hang in there until now.”
I do not think she’ll be like that all my life. One day I will change all that.
When I entered the office, I saw that all the curtains were drawn down, meaning I could not see what was inside now.
Thinking that the interview with Dunn had cast a bad shadow over me, I was more alert this time.
“Manager, your green tea.” I set him down and left.
Dunn looked at me with a smile. “Chris, it’s been a tough time. Come here. I have something to tell you.”
He smiled like a loving father, and I did not approach him. Although he did not dare “intrude” in that office, I felt very uncomfortable in such a closed environment.
“Dunn, keep talking, I can hear you from here.”
“You can see that you are a famous college student with a high degree. Do you want to work hard in the future?”
“If I do not want to work, why should I come for an interview? If the manager gives me this chance, I will work hard.”
“For the sake of your sincerity, I will give you this chance.”
He took out a card and handed it to me. I took it and noticed that it looked like a hotel room card.
“Dunn, what do you think?”
“Chris, I’ll be waiting for you at the hotel tonight. We will write off the past when you get there. To tell you the truth, I am about to be promoted to general manager. If you do well tonight, the manager’s job will be yours after I leave. What do you think of that?”
Finally I understand why he had to torture me before, the original revenge is false, to pave the way for this moment is true.
“Dunn, is this what you want from me?”
“Of course, Chris, I have to tell you this. If a woman wants to move up in the workforce, she has to pay a much lower price than a man. You just got out of school and did not understand the rules of society. I don’t blame you for that. Now I am going to show you this clear path, depending on whether you want to take it or not.”
I held back my anger. “Dunn, what if I refuse again?”
“If you are that ungrateful, then I am very sorry. It’s a good thing you buy the afternoon tea ahead of time. Do you think I’ll make up some excuse to get you to clean the toilet?”
Looking at Dunn’s greasy face and smiling like a flower, does he think he’s really dealing with me?
His hand wandered restlessly toward my chest, and I slapped it again.
“Please respect yourself! Dunn , do you think you own this company?”
