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.
