Female Novel
Chapter 126
Time passed peacefully. The first thing Kimberly did when she arrived at the company the next daywas to apply for reimbursement at the Finance Department.
At first, the people in the Finance Department did not care about her at all. They even lookedimpatient when they saw her.
"Flow can you apply for it without a bill? Besides, the process requires a lot of time."
Kimberly was stunned, asking, "I thought I didn't need the bill?"
The lady at the Finance Department rolled her eyes and criticized, "Who told you that you don'tneed it? You're not new around here, don't you know the rules? Or do you think that you can beunscrupulous because you have a backup plan?"
Flearing this, Kimberly's face turned a little pale and she bit her lower lip.
Maddox had clearly told her that she could apply it without the bill, but now they were telling heranother story. What was going on? Was the Finance Department just playing with her, or didMaddox lie to her?
Thinking of this, Kimberly thought for a while and asked again, "Well, are you sure? Can't I apply inadvance?"
The lady smiled indifferently and looked at her like she was an idiot, "It doesn't matter if you ask meten times. No means no!"
Kimberly could only return to her desk in dejection. After thinking for a long time, she went to findMaddox.
After hearing her story, Maddox frowned.
Oh no.
He wanted to ask Sam to inform the Finance Department in advance, but he had forgotten about it,causing her to get rejected.
Kimberly then asked dejectedly, "Is it... within the company rules that I'm not allowed to apply inadvance? If not, I..."
"You're allowed to as long as I say so. Do you believe in me or her?" Maddox responded.
Kimberly replied, "...You."
She had answered that subconsciously. Maddox smiled slightly and said, "Go and try again."
"Ah? I have to go there again?" Kimberly crossed her fingers together. She couldn't imagine goingback down there. She was so blatantly being driven away just now and embarrassed herself. Shecouldn't do it.
"Go," Maddox ordered firmly.
"... Alright," she replied hesitantly.
After all, she really needed the money. The only thing she could do was go back to the elevator andhead back to the fifth floor.
Maddox took out his mobile phone and quickly called Sam, saying, "Tell the Finance Department tolet Assistant Shell apply for an advanced reimbursement."
Although Sam didn't understand what was going on, it was the first time Maddox had mentionedsuch a special case. However, he wasn't surprised. It was for Assistant Shell, after all. And he hadseen what Maddox had done for her these days.
"I see. I'll go and inform them right away," Sam replied.

Kimberly hesitated outside the Finance Department for a long time. Should she just go back toMaddox and tell him the lady at the Finance Department rejected her again? Maddox stayed in hisoffice the whole day. He might not know about all these small things.
After thinking about it, just when Kimberly decided to go back, a bald middle-aged man came out ofthe Finance Department. As soon as he saw her, he called her immediately, "Assistant Shell."novelbin
Hearing this, Kimberly stopped and looked at him in confusion, "You called me?"
The middle- aged man smiled and said, "You are Assistant Shell, right? Why are you standing at thedoor? Come in quickly."
Kimberly was confused. However, he was so enthusiastic, so she followed him in.
"I heard from Vera that you came to apply for reimbursement just now, am I right?" He asked.
Kimberly nodded awkwardly, "But your people said that I need the bills for the procedure. I..." "No,no, that's her mistake!" The middle-aged man waved his hand quickly and said, "There's no suchthing. Assistant Shell, let me see how much you need to apply for? I'll give you a reportimmediately."
Kimberly paused for a moment and asked, "Is it really possible?"
She looked inside and saw the lady named Vera standing there. She was staring at her furiously.
He replied, "Of course, it is possible. Why not? Come on in."
The middle- aged man then called at Vera ferociously, "Hurry up and type out Assistant Shell'sreport. Why are you still standing there? Do you still want to keep your job?"
Vera turned around and went to get the application forms angrily. She handed it to Kimberly andsaid, "Fill this out. Just write down the amount that you want."
"Thank you," Kimberly reached out her hands and took it politely. It took her five minutes to fill outthe form.
Vera stared at her. Seeing Kimberly writing so seriously, she muttered under her breath angrily,"She's just a girl who used connections to get here. Why give her preferential treatment?"
Kimberly didn't hear her clearly and looked up at her. Her eyes were so innocent. Vera only glancedat them and felt guilty for what she said. She continued angrily, "What? Am I wrong about you?"
Kimberly did not speak. She just handed over the forms and asked, "I'll apply for five thousanddollars first, is that okay?" "That's a lot. Why don't you just rob it?" Vera replied in fury.
The middle-aged man smacked the back of Vera's head, the smile on his face slowly fading. Hescolded, "How can you speak like this? You really don't want your job anymore, do you? Why don'tyou pack up your things and go home now?"
Vera snorted and looked at the middle-aged man, her hand over her head. Kimberly noticed thateven though the middle-aged man looked at Vera fiercely, there was a shred of helplessness and ahint of affection in his eyes. They looked like... father and daughter.
"Assistant Shell, is five thousand dollars too little? After all, you are President Yardley's assistant.Five thousand dollars may not be enough. How about... I give you another twenty thousanddollars?"
Hearing this, Kimberly's expression shifted and she gaped, rejecting, "Twenty, twenty thousanddollars? I don't think I'll need so much."
"Dad, are you crazy?"
Sure enough, Vera screamed. "This is the company's Finance Department. If you give her twentythousand dollars, what should we do if President Yardley blames us?"
"Who's your Dad? Get out of here, you little br*t," the middle-aged man waved his hand andmotioned her away. Then he smiled and said to Kimberly, "I will raise your reimbursement to twentythousand dollars. Vera, hurry up and settle this. Don't let Assistant Shell wait for too long."
Kimberly stood and waited for them to deal with it. She was still thinking why was their attitude sodifferent the second time around. Was Vera just picking on her earlier? While she was thinkingabout it, she heard the man apologize to her, I'm really sorry. Vera has a bad temper, but she is notbeing mean to you. Assistant Shell, can you forgive her? She's still young."
"You're too polite. It's very kind of you to let me apply for this in advance," Kimberly smiled slightlyas she spoke.
She could see that the middle-aged man was very frightened when facing her like he was afraid ofoffending her. It seemed like someone had put some pressure on him. Even when he was speakingto her, his forehead was drenched in sweat.
Upon hearing her, he visibly heaved a sigh of relief.
Kimberly couldn't help asking, "Vera said that the application needed time to be processed, but nowit suddenly doesn't need to. Did someone give you a call?"
