Female Novel
Chapter 376
"It seems like everyone is here." Juliette looked around and saw that everyone was there. Shelooked around and saw a young man sitting alone in the corner, then she said, "Allow me tointroduce to you Miss Minerva, your new superior."
The crowd didn't hear the last sentence. They only heard Juliette address her as Miss Minerva.novelbin
For so many years, Juliette had always been Quill's secretary and his capable assistant. Herreputation in the business world was very established. These designers naturally knew about her.
But now, Juliette had addressed Minerva with respect. Furthermore, her eyes were filled with smilesand she did not sound as if she was mocking her as everyone else had expected.
The way they looked at Minerva was a little different, but there were still some who spoke withdissatisfaction.
"A superior at such a young age? Do you really have the skills, or... did you get your position viaother means?" The one who was speaking was Erica. She was wearing a red dress and had brightred lipstick on her lips. The blush on her face was particularly attractive, but the temperament sheshowed was cold and glamorous.
Upon hearing her words, Minerva's expression was indifferent. She did not become mad. Instead,her gaze fell on Erica's face. However, after Vera listened carefully, she felt that there wassomething wrong with her words.
She thought about it for a long time before she reacted. She was so angry that she cursed directly,"What other means? What do you mean by that?"
Erica squinted her eyes and glanced at Vera. "Hey, who is this? How dare you shout at us themoment you step into this room. Are you our new superior instead?"
Vera was so angry that her facial features were almost distorted. She bit her lower lip and said,"Why do you care who I am? I simply don't allow you to talk about Minerva like this. What's the bigdeal about a professional team?"
Vera had a bad temper.
Minerva had always known about this.
However, she did not expect Vera to explode right after one comment by Erica. Seeing that she wasso angry that she almost yelled at Erica again while Erica still sat there leisurely, she sighed in herheart. Then she raised her hand to pull Vera's sleeve and pulled her behind herself.
"Minerva, don't pull me. Let me argue with her. What do you mean by 'other means'? You are..."
"That's enough," Minerva said softly, "You don't have to say anything."
Vera was furious, but she still listened to Minerva. Since Minerva told her to stop talking, she couldonly purse her lips and look at Minerva. Seconds later, she walked to the side and left the stage toher. As for Juliette, she had no intention of helping Minerva from the very beginning.
This was specially ordered by Quill. Since the team was handed over to her, she had to rely on herown abilities to manage them.
And of course, Quill trusted his sister.
If Juliette interfered in this matter again, then it would seem like she was being overprotective.
Minerva took a few steps forward and looked at Erica. Although she had a smile on her face, heraura was very strong and it managed to suppress Erica's arrogance in an instant.
In an instant, Erica felt that her image seemed to be much lower than Minerva's.
"You," Erica took a small step back unconsciously and said, "What do you want to do? Did I hit thenail so you're planning to go into a rage soon?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva continued to smile without expression. She said softly, "Why are you soafraid of me? I won't eat you."
When everyone heard this, they were a little shocked.
Minerva's aura was completely different from when they first met her. When she dressed like that,they thought that she was easy to bully. They never thought that she could be so strong when shespoke to them.
She even said that she was not going to eat them.
Her expression now was actually scarier than the fear of her eating them alive. Seeing that they didnot speak, Minerva looked around and her pink lips rose slightly.
"I've read your details before I came here. All of you are outstanding designers. It's my honor toinvite you to this company as soon as it's established."
"Honor?" The crowd could not help but think. "I really cannot feel the sincerity of your words."
However, Vera, who was standing behind her, was so angry that she wanted to go forward again,but she was held back by Juliette, who was next to her.
"What are you doing, Secretary Sharpio? Hurry up and let go of me. I'm so angry. What did thatwoman say? Minerva still said that it is her honor to invite them? When did she become so weak?"
Juliette helplessly looked at Vera and said, "What about you? When did you become so reckless?What did Miss Minerva tell you when she came? She has expected that the following days will notbe easy."
Hearing this, Vera nodded her head. "Yes, I now understand. It turned out that she was referring tothese people, but what is she doing now?"
"Since she said that, it means that she had already expected this."
Vera was speechless.
"Since she has long predicted that these things would happen, do you think she would not havethought of any countermeasures?"
After hearing Juliette's words, Vera realized that she was being impulsive. Then she turned aroundand looked at Minerva again. She didn't know exactly when, but Minerva had changed. She was nolonger the yes-girl who only followed her emotions. She was now smart and had an aura ofarrogance. It was just that her past days had made her restrain all her qualities.
Later... her strong aura was gradually released.
Only then did Vera realize that Minerva was far more powerful than she had imagined.
Vera found herself getting further and further away from Minerva.
Thinking of this, Vera looked down at the tip of her shoes and did not speak again, nor did she goforward.
"You are all outstanding talents and I value talents very much. But I have another characteristics.For example, I don't like forcing others. Although you are all very excellent members, if any of you isunwilling to stay in the company, you can leave now."
Hearing this, the faces of the few people changed. Jessica suddenly felt wronged and complainedto her, "What do you mean by this? Are you going to drive us away?"
"No." Minerva shook her head lightly. "It's your freedom to come and go. If you feel like you've beentaken advantage of, you can leave on your own. I'll still pay you a month's salary."
"You... you are insulting us!!"
"I hope that you can understand one thing. Although you are an excellent team hired by Mr.Hanover, I will be the one paying your salary in the future. From today onwards, I will be yoursuperior. If you can accept it, you can stay here. If you can't accept it, you can leave immediately.Still, as I said just now, I will pay you this month's salary."
Minerva's words were loud and clear. Her expression was calm and unruffled, as if she was notworried that they would really leave the room.
She did not care about the team at all.
This was the first time they had suffered this type of humiliation. The members of the team were allextremely angry.
Yasmine said angrily, "How can there be such a superior like you? Who do you think you are? Howdare you look down on us!"
