Chapter 69 : Haters gonna hate!

Ella:
Today’s huddle was music to my ears. Jen was furious at Joe and she made sure to publicly humiliate him saying, “I thought you were such a promising candidate for the managerial position but by losing such a vital account I doubt if you even belong here!” Ouch!
Helen whispered cautiously, “The bull has torn Joe into shreds, well done Ella, looks like you’ve clipped the thorn from your foot. Go wow Adonis now!”
I get the contract documents ready and make an appointment with Holt Enterprises for today at 3 pm. During lunch, I got nasty stares from Joe and Alice but I smiled back politely keeping my calm.
As I head towards Mr Holt’s office, I prepare myself mentally for various probability scenarios. If he wants to add any further clauses to our contract, I need to negotiate to make sure I don’t come across as a desperate plea for help. Accent sure doesn’t sound like a cheap bargain. Additionally, I had spoken to Diedre to bypass the initial onboarding formalities as an exception for billion-dollar accounts and got this approved by Jen as well just to be on the safer side.
I don’t wish to build castles in the air but if this works out, I will be able to move out of Helen’s studio apartment into a place I can call my own. Fingers crossed! As Elaine leads me to a cabin, I see Vanessa, perched on her high chair waiting for me with a displeased look on her face.
