Female Novel
chapter 35 What does the second brother like about her?
The corner of Olivia's mouth twitched, and she looked at Emma, who was lying on the ground with aferocious expression, and sneered. "If you want to admit your mistake, just do it. I can't accept suchan exaggerated salutation from you."
Emma's face contorted with rage. She struggled to get up from the ground and pointed at Olivia, sofrustrated that she couldn't speak for a while.
Olivia crossed her hands across her chest and looked at Emma lazily. "Keep your mouth shut andscram if you don't want to end up at the police station."
The woman pushed Emma out of the compound of her house, closed the door again, returned tothe room, put in earplugs, and continued to sleep.
Emma cursed outside the door for a long time before finally leaving huffily.
Coincidentally, Xavier returned with the dinner takeout and bumped into Emma, who had left, whilecursing.
She was holding her cell phone and seemed to be talking to someone.
"I heard Olivia is working at LM now because of her good relationship with President Meryl. Pleasehelp me keep an eye on her. If the rumor is true, find a way to make things difficult for her duringthis period. Yes. I will buy the handbag that you got attracted to last time. I know. Don't worry. I cangive you anything as long as you ensure that she is unable to continue working at LM."
Emma left smugly after hanging up the call.
Xavier narrowed his eyes. A hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.
He thought, "Does this foolish woman really thinks she can offend the woman I love as shewishes?"
Xavier called Vic, instructing, "Get the media to add more fuel to the fire to the problems the XiaFamily is facing recently. We can generate more buzz by targeting the stepmom of the Xia Familyand the mistress!"
Vic was confused, musing, "Boss is acting abnormally recently! Since when did a small companylike Xia Corporation became worthy of his attention?"
After ending the call, Xavier called Meryl. "Please pay more attention to the person you recruitedlast time."
Meryl was rendered speechless by Xavier's words. He wondered if Xavier was still in love withLeah. If not, why would Xavier ask Meryl to keep an eye on her?
Meryl would have kicked her out if she hadn't been sensible after joining the company and didn'tcause any trouble.
After all, she was fearless and stupid enough to offend Riley.
Meryl thought, "Is she going to do whatever she wishes in LM because she has Xavier backing her?But why, why does Xavier still want to protect and defend her? Has Xavier gone insane? However,Xavier is scarier than Herman, though. If I don't do as he says, he will…"
Meryl felt like he was worse off than dead when he thought about having to accompany thecapricious Ellie tonight.
"When will this torture ends?" Meryl thought.
For the next few days, Olivia only went to the company once in the afternoon to finish her tasks.Then, she would either head out for a meal with Harper or return home and sleep.
Xavier sometimes thought she was sick and was on the verge of getting a doctor to check on her.
At the same time, in the sales department of LM's local headquarters, Louis Gu, the deputymanager, asked his assistant, "Is there a newcomer called Olivia Xia?"
The assistant was stunned. "Olivia? Oh... there seems to be someone named Kern Xia..."
The assistant had a heavy accent. After two rounds of questioning, Louis was still confused by theanswer he got.
Knowing there would only be one person named Olivia in the company, Louis told his assistant, "Ijust received an order. Please take it to the design department, and no matter what you do, makesure Olivia is the one working on this order.
"This..." The assistant frowned. "Isn't this the most difficult order our company has ever comeacross? The Liu Family is notoriously difficult to deal with. Kern Xia is still a newcomer. Do you thinkshe will do a good job at this?"novelbin
Louis's face darkened. "Are you implying that I am targeting her? Difficult jobs are always the bestchoice to test a newcomer's professional capabilities. The fact that she can join LM shows that shehas her own merits. We closed this tricky deal. If we can do it, but she can't handle it, it's herproblem."
The assistant didn't dare to say anything further. He just nodded silently and hurriedly brought a fewdocuments to the design department.
Among the three recruits in the design department, Aria and Leah were both assistant designers,while another male colleague named Kern Xia was a designer.
Leah was assigned to work as an assistant for a senior designer. A week after joining the company,she spent most of her time doing irrelevant things such as photostating, printing documents, andscheduling appointments. These tasks made her feel like she was doing work beneath her, and shekept thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to express and showcase her talent.
Therefore, when Louis's assistant came over with the documents, Leah was the first to greet andchatted with him enthusiastically, trying to get helpful information from him.
Leah's eyes brightened after learning that several newcomers had been assigned to design tasksthis time, and she began to inquire about what types they were, hinting to Louis' assistant the kindof design task she excelled at.
When the design manager returned, Leah turned around and went out, diligently pouring coffee forthe manager and the assistant.
Then, she heard the assistant pass the difficult task to the manager, Norman Chen. "Mr. Chen, thisis a cooperation that the sales department has negotiated for a long time before we closed the deal.As the other party's requirements are more demanding, and the design is more difficult, who amongthe recruits do you think has the best patience?"
Leah glanced at the design theme and found it was what she was good at. Excited by that thought,she looked at the manager expectantly, hoping the manager would assign her to this task.
Although the design was complex and the other party had many requirements, a challenging tasklike this was suitable for UCL graduates like her.
Moreover, if she could complete this task, she would have the opportunity to switch positions fromassistant designer to designer and have more opportunities to showcase her talents.
Before she met Olivia, Leah aimed to become a great designer like Riley.
But after getting to know and offending Riley, Leah changed her mind.
She mused, "I can surely surpass her achievement if even a woman like her can become a topdesigner too,."
They both graduated from UCL. However, although Leah was one year older than Olivia, theygraduated the same year. The reason was that Olivia's capabilities had surpassed that of theirlecturers to the point where no one could teach her, and the university didn't want to keep heraround, so they let Olivia graduate earlier.
Leah had seldom seen Olivia at their university because she never attended classes with them orparticipated in school activities.
She thought, "I heard that Olivia has been engaged in various high-level art research over theyears?"
No matter what, Leah was eager to be allowed to prove her capabilities and for others, especiallyRiley, to view her in a new light.
"Will it be inappropriate for a newcomer to handle such a difficult job?" Norman hesitated.
The assistant smiled and said, "I heard that Kern Xia is quite capable? He has previous jobexperience, is practical and responsible. If the newcomers are not allowed to handle difficult task totrain themselves, how should they shoulder responsibilities alone? Am I right?"
Norman naturally understood the meaning behind the assistant's words. He smiled and noddedslightly. "That makes sense. Okay. I'll make the necessary arrangements."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll get back to work first. If you need anything, please contact me anytime."
