Chapter 66 It was her turn to kneel down and ask for forgiveness (1)
Such a low posture.
Ab bie thought that Darrin should have been more restrained.
Who would have thought that he immediately asked, “Assignment? Do you think it’s an assignment for a journalist to buy stockings all day long? Then I assign you to buy stockings for all the female employees in the company, once a day. Will you do it or not?”
Ab bie’s heart was as cold as ashes…
She didn’t know how many hurtful words Darrin had yet to say.
She didn’t want to listen anymore.
The glory that was previously earned from Rose is now being sent back in tons to others.
But Rose, since she joined the finance department, even though she faced numerous challenges, she remained confident and composed. On the other hand, when it came to Ab bie, she had to kneel down and beg for forgiveness…
“Sorry, Rose…” Darrin wanted Ab bie to do something, and she knew what it was, but what could she do? Mr. Lott’s calls kept coming in, and if they were really pursued, they could end up losing their reputation and their substance in the end.
“Rose, it was my mishandling that caused you to suffer.”
‘And then?” Darrin interrupted before Rose could respond, refusing to let her accept the apology.
Ab bie was momentarily confused, but then she quickly understood.
40 (Vouchers
She pursed her lips.
After a few difficult seconds, she finally said, “I will immediately apply to the personnel department to transfer you back to the
entertainment department.”
Darrin has always known…
After Rose signed the transfer, she and Darrin had dinner together that afternoon.
So, Darrin knew everything, but he pretended not to care, showing indifference, allowing Rose to be gradually bullied in the finance department, giving everyone the wrong impression…
I thought Rose was just a pushover who everyone bullied, and I thought Darrin wouldn’t stand up for her at all.
Who knew he would be waiting here.
Waiting to give her a head-on blow.
Maybe Maverick had set a trap for them in advance.
And she, along with Lucy, happily jumped into the pit.
“Are you going back to the entertainment club for Maverick’s interview?” Darrin asked Rose, turning his head.
It was just hearsay, and no one felt that he treated Rose in any special way.
But Ab bie dared not look at his face, nor dare he meet Rose’s gaze.
In her eyes, there was the tenderness she had always longed for but could never attain, even with a hint of cautious eagerness to please.
Rose learned her lesson this time. She nodded and said, “I will follow the leader’s instructions.”
With such a well-behaved appearance, coupled with a submissive and obedient expression, it can easily deceive unsuspecting opponents.
Darrin may have known that he shouldn’t have laughed.
But he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Ab bie felt that her heart was shattered into pieces, and she couldn’t pick them up anymore…
But Darrin’s attention was only on Rose: “Okay, then you hand over the work on this side first.
Rose nodded, but in an instant, a hesitant expression appeared on her face.
“Um… Will I still be fined for the mistake I made today?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire finance department fell silent, as if it had sunk into the depths of the sea.
Darrin frowned, “Deduct money? What mistake did you make?”
“This…” Rose glanced at Ab bie quietly.
“Speak! Don’t look at anyone else!” Darrin’s tone became stern.
“It’s a controversial issue…” Rose looked hesitant.
Darrin understood immediately. Without asking Ab bie, he walked straight to the office door and asked, “Where is Rose’s editor-in-chief?”
Lily got up tremblingly.
To be honest, before Rose joined the finance department, there were
rumors circulating throughout the entire department that she was Darrin’s favorite. It was said that she obtained many resources through
him.
But these days of working together have passed.
Almost everyone had forgotten about this.
The “origin” of Rose, was the beginning of their contempt towards her, but the various bullying that followed had nothing to do with Darrin.
Chapter 66 It was her turn to kneel down and ask for forgiveness (2)
Purely… led by Ab bie, the whole group unilaterally played tricks on
Rose.
She was given countless manuscripts, some of which were even written in vain, to proofread.
She was demanded to meet the strictest standards of the department, almost as if they were eager to catch her making the slightest mistake and impose punishment.
Intentionally pointing out the wrong area for milk tea and afternoon tea snacks, extracting methods, making her repeatedly run errands on the road…
***
The collective revelry, before the thunder struck, no one had anticipated who among them would directly bear the wrath from Darrin.
It was not a rumor that Rose was favored by Darrin.
It was a fact.
The key is, she was so tolerant and had such a deep understanding, that she could silently accept all the malice from them without uttering a word before the accumulated events exploded.
Taking into account her performance in today’s match against Claire.
Everyone now knows that this woman was not just a superficial vase.
Given time and fortuitous circumstances, she could truly grow to a point where they could only look up to her.
The great eagle soared with the wind in one day, ascending straight up ninety thousand miles.
Lily clumsily recounted the proofreading incident that happened today.
“It is about the existence of Autao Finance investigation. In Claire’s original manuscript, it was written as ‘a mere five or six years,’ but Rose changed it to ‘nineteen years’…
“Claire?” Darrin glanced around the office area.
Claire also stood up with a hunched back, her voice thin and weak, lacking the vigor she had when arguing with Rose: “Editor-in-chief, I did check the encyclopedia and relevant materials, and it clearly states five to six years.”
But Darrin’s attention was diverted, “Why are you sitting over there?”
The finance department was large, and the employees of each team gathered in a certain area centered around the editor-in-chief.
Just now, he came over and saw that Rose’s desk was far away from all the teams, which made him very angry.
Now, Rose’s editor and Claire’s seat, they are not just oceans apart, but at least tens of thousands of miles away, right?
“Aren’t you in the same team?” Darrin’s keen observation left everyone in the room speechless. “Why is she able to proofread your drafts despite being in a different group?”
Claire was so scared that she became speechless, while Lily stuttered and couldn’t explain clearly.
Finally, Rose herself needs to explain.
“Because the industry was completely new to me, everyone hoped that
Chapter 66 It was her turn to kneel
I could familiarize myself with it as soon as possible. So, they gave me all the department’s documents to review, but… it wasn’t a lot…”
Rose’s voice grew quieter as Darrin’s expression became increasingly unpleasant.
“How much?” he asked.
“About thirty to fifty articles, if converted into word count…”
“How much?!” Darrin’s voice suddenly raised.
Now, even Rose didn’t say a word.
Darrin felt his blood pressure rise.
་་
“Thirty to fifty?” he turned back and asked Ab bie, “How many articles
does your department publish in a day? How many articles do you publish in a week? Including the backup and discarded drafts, do you have thirty to fifty articles in a day?”
He knew that Rose must have had a tough time here.
But he didn’t expect to be so upset.
No wonder she has been working overtime until the early hours these days, and she doesn’t even have a day off the next day!
Ab bie had given up struggling, with her head down, eyes red, and not saying a word.
It was Claire who didn’t know what got into her, mustering up the courage to suddenly speak up, “I might have misunderstood about the year, actually, if it weren’t for you, Rose, deleting that photo for no reason, I wouldn’t have asked you…”
In terms of proofreading errors, deleting images is a big mistake, let
alone the fact that Rose intentionally deleted them.
The picture is missing, and the entire layout is out of order.
No matter how biased Darrin is towards Rose, he wouldn’t go as far as favoring the burrow, would he?
