Mollie stood frozen, her wide eyes staring, and her hands trembling slightly. Her colleagues, who were usually
bullied by her and had to please her, now stood up one after another, seeking revenge.
“How could Ms. Chapman possibly work overtime? The hard and tiring tasks are always assigned to the interns as
part of their ‘newcomer workplace training’!”
“Yes, Ms. Chapman has been wholeheartedly ‘supporting the newcomers.’ Her enthusiasm is truly admirable!”
“But there seems to be one intern who’s an exception… When Gia arrived, she acted even more arrogantly than
the boss herself. She doesn’t do anything yet receives praise from Ms. Chapman every day!”
Flustered and stammering, Mollie said, “You… What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Gia?” Linda pursed her lips and walked toward the empty workstation, gently knocking on the desk. “Is this where
Gia sits?”
“Yes!” everyone else hurriedly answered.
“If she’s so outstanding, why isn’t she present during work hours?” Linda’s gaze turned sharp, and she looked coldly
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtat Mollie. “Ms. Chapman, apart from the previous questions, you also need to explain this issue. Does this intern
have special privileges?”
Mollie was already drenched in sweat, her teeth chattering, and she struggled to form a coherent sentence.
An employee spoke up. “Mrs. Thompson, even though Gia is an intern, she seems to have some connection to Ms.
Chapman. She has privileges here!”
Linda shifted her gaze to Mollie, her tone rising at the end. “Is that so?”
“Mrs. Thompson, I—”
“Yes, Mrs. Thompson, that’s true!” another employee added. “Ms. Chapman went out of her way to give Gia a
prime position and even switched Lina and Renee’s workstations! We couldn’t bear to see it. Lina and Renee work
diligently, but Ms. Chapman deliberately targets them…”
“You… You’re all going too far!” Mollie’s frustration overwhelmed her, and she nearly lost her balance.
Collecting herself, she forced a strained smile and looked at Linda pleadingly. “Mrs. Thompson, please… let me
explain!
“I might have been strict with Lina and Renee, but I’m not specifically targeting them! Besides, if they didn’t have
any flaws in their work, I wouldn’t have resorted to this!
“In any case, it takes two to tango!”
“It takes two to tango,” Linda softly repeated these words with a cryptic smile.
Suppressing her anger, she glanced at Mollie’s office.
It was a separate room, spacious and bright, occupying the best position on that floor. From the floor-to-ceiling
windows, one could see the street outside. It was a world of difference compared to the tiny workstations next to
the restroom.
Taking a deep breath, Linda looked at Mollie and calmly instructed, “Clean up your office and move out
immediately.”
Mollie was taken aback. “What?”
“As a manager, you’ve worked hard to mentor the interns and deserve a reward.” Linda walked up to her and
patted her shoulder. “I’ll move you to a better position!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMollie was surprised and delighted. Did this mean she was getting a promotion?
“Thank you, Mrs. Thompson! Thank you, Mrs. Thompson!” She bowed repeatedly. Inadvertently, she turned her
head to glare sinisterly at the people who had reported her.
Linda continued. “Ms. Chapman, you’ll move to a new spot soon. Rearrange this office, and it will be a good fit for
the two interns. Having them seated too close to the restroom might give outsiders the impression that the
Thompson Group lacks even basic workstations for interns.”
“Yes, Mrs. Thompson, you’re right!” Overwhelmed with joy, Mollie agreed without thinking. “I’ll immediately arrange
for Lina and Renee’s belongings to be moved into my office!”
“Very well.” Linda smiled. “Follow me.”
Mollie hastily followed Linda, feeling like she had just hit the jackpot.
The disgruntled colleagues insisted on following them to argue their case.
Meanwhile, Lina and Renee exchanged a glance, sensing that things were not as simple as they seemed, so they
went along with Melissa.
Linda walked ahead without a care. They descended the stairs, crossed the lobby, and continued to the alley at the
back of the building.
