Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 73

Annie looked at her warmly with an unconvinced expression.

Just then, Tom and Zoe walked in.

Seeing Tom, Annie immediately left her seat and walked to the front of in total with a wronged expression: "Tom, I really can't handle this job anymore. She is so arrogant and bullied me."

As she spoke, she stomped her feet in anger.

Tom frowned, "What's the matter again?"

"She came to me for medical fees and even splashed water all over me. I didn't do it on purpose yesterday, and I apologized too, why did she do this to me today?"

Her voice was cold. "Weren't you the one in the office just now begging everyone to throw their tantrums at you? It was you who said it, and now I helped you fulfill your wish, why do you blame me now? Annie, you can't be so unreasonable, this is our company, not your home."

"Laura, shut up," Annie shouted.

Tom frowned: "Enough! What's the matter with you two? This has been going on since yesterday. Stop fighting with each other."

"It was her problem. Before she came, our office had always been very peaceful," Annie said as she looked at Laura.

At this time, Tom also set his gaze on her.

Before Tom said something, Zoe said: "Who said that the entire office has always been harmonious? Annie, you have always been arrogantly bullying everyone, we are angry but we have no choice but to compliment you because you are the boss. What kind of harmony is this?"

"Zoe, stop with your nonsense, when did I do that? What's more, what right do I have to bully you?"

"You've always been doing this. As for the reason, other than contract workers, does anyone else not know about it?"

The office instantly quieted down.

Tom knew that it would affect him if this matter continued.

He glanced at Zoe sideways: "Alright, everybody goes back to work. Laura, go back to your desk, I have something to announce."

Annie pulled her wrist when Laura was about to go "Tom, so, do you mean that she didn't wrong?"

Laura said calmly: "Take the invoice and give it to me. I will give you money as compensation. Also, when I come to the company tomorrow, I will give you the invoice for my clothes. You should do the same thing, then we are even."

After she finished speaking, Annie immediately fell silent.

Tom said: "If the two of you continue to make trouble, both of you, get out."

Annie gave a cold snort and let her go, returning to her seat.

Then she returned to her desk and sat down.

Tom stood in the middle of the office and said with a serious expression, "Everyone, attention, please. I have something to announce. Just a moment ago, I received a notification from the personnel department. From today onwards, Zoe will be promoted to the supervisor of the Training Department. If anyone has any problems in the future, go and find her to solve the problem. If she can't arrange the matter, she will talk to me."

Hearing the news, everyone in the office immediately applauded.

Zoe smiled to everyone: "From now on, I hope we can work together happily, please tell me if you have any questions."

Annie was furious, she flung her brush into the corner of the table.

Zoe turned her head to look at Laura and smiled with pursed lips. She smiled too.

However, she was a little puzzled. She felt that Zoe seemed to be very nice to her.

But why?

When it was time for lunch, everyone left one by one. Laura carried her food and prepared to leave as well.

Before she stood up, Amy walked over and said to her, "Laura, let's go and eat together."

She quickly put down the box of food that she hadn't picked up. "I still have something to read. Why don't you go first?"

"Don't worry."

She clapped her hands warmly. "That's great. Come over and have a taste. This is my specialty."

William Walton got up, and with a cold expression walked over: "How's your wound today?"

"It won't hurt even if I don't touch it. It was not serious, so it should be fine soon."

"Don't say things like that. You're not a doctor, you need to be careful in taking care of yourself. In a place like this where you can't see, if it breaks, you'll suffer greatly."

"Got it," she looked at him and smiled faintly.

It had been a long time since anyone had cared about her since her mother had left.

Halfway through his meal, William Walton suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

A burst of nervousness arose in her heart as she slowly stood up and looked at him.

William Walton looked towards the door and calmly asked: "Who?"

"Mr. Walton, it's me." Secretary Daniel 's voice came from outside the door.

She whispered, "What do we do? What do we do?"

William Walton looked at her nervous appearance and smiled sinisterly, "Give me a kiss, I'll think of a way for you."

"Hey," she whispered, staring at him.

"Otherwise, I'll let the secretary in. When he goes out and tells others that you were here, it won't be a matter that I can meddle in."

"You ..."

William Walton turned his face to the side, and tapped his cheek: "I won't make things difficult for you, you can also kiss my cheek."
