Babel Novel
Chapter 910
Maya was ticked off. Ever since Alexander showed up, the team members started treating her differently, and now Quinn had the nerve to talk back. "I don't want water. Get me a Coke," Maya snapped.
Quinn didn't move and looked away. "Get it yourself."
Maya jumped up. "You're new here, and I'm giving you a chance by asking for help. How dare you refuse?"
Quinn met her gaze. "Who says the newbie has to get you water? You don't pay me, and you're not my boss. Why should I listen to you?"
Maya was about to fire back when Helen stepped in. "Alright, you two, stop it. I'll get it for Maya. Do you want it cold or at room temperature?" Maya glared at Quinn, fuming. "What's wrong with asking her to get it? I can't believe I can't make a newbie do something."
Quinn stayed calm. "I'm not going."
Maya's face turned red with anger. "You're not going? Today, I insist you go."
She then called out, "Ronald!"Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Ronald, already annoyed, turned around. "What's up?"
Maya pointed at Quinn. "How do you manage your people? I asked her to get me a Coke, and she won't go!"
Ronald glanced at Quinn. "What water do you want? There's water right there."
"I want a Coke. Make her get it," Maya demanded.
"We're almost done shooting. Can't you wait?" Ronald asked.
"No!"
Maya was firm. It wasn't about the Coke anymore; she just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction. She didn't believe she couldn't handle a newbie. Ronald frowned and said to Quinn, "Go get it for her."
He wanted to calm Maya down, but Quinn had other ideas. "I'm not going. If she wants it, she can get it herself."
Ronald was stunned. He didn't expect Quinn to refuse him too.
Maya sneered. "See? This is the newbie you hired. You're not doing a good job as a team leader."
Feeling embarrassed, Ronald frowned at Quinn.
Quinn stood her ground. Ronald didn't know what to do with them.
"Figure it out yourselves," Ronald said angrily.
He didn't want to deal with it. Quinn had no obligation to listen to Maya. Getting her a Coke would be a favor, not a duty.
If he forced Quinn, it would be too obvious he was taking sides. Plus, he didn't like Maya much himself.
Maya was even angrier when she saw Ronald wasn't going to intervene.
She glared at Quinn. "You're really something!"
As long as Quinn worked here, Maya had plenty of ways to make her life difficult.
Maya stormed off.
Watching her leave, Helen was worried. She tugged on Quinn's arm. "Why did you argue with her? You're asking for trouble."
Quinn didn't answer.
She had endured enough bullying over the years. Now that she had regained her memory and could speak, she wouldn't let anyone push her around again.
It wasn't just about losing her self-esteem. It was about bringing shame to the entire Mellon family.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Helen sighed. "Maya will definitely target you in the future."
Helen added, "Maya is petty. She always acts like a star, bossing everyone around as if the company can't function without her. I heard she went through several assistants before. They all quit because of her. I bet she wants you to be her assistant."
Helen hadn't been here long either, just under a year since her internship turned into a full-time position. But in that time, she had seen Maya go through three assistants.
Helen was right. Maya went to the side and called Ernest, wanting Quinn to be her assistant.
