Her Precious Baby

Chapter 275

The commotion in the office soon drew the attention of many employees.

Many stood outside the door and peered into the office.

Taking a deep breath. Angeline strolled to the desk and scanned the awards on the wall, including the group picture of her mother with the directors of various fashion shows.

Those were the achievements of Angeline's mother: they had nothing to do with Angeline.

Now that Angeline was in her mother's shoes, she finally understood the difficulties the latter had had to go through.

"Don't just stay silent, Ms. Sorelie. Say something and stop delaying my department's work,” Steven urged with a smug smile.

He had absolutely no respect for Angeline when she was the leader of the company. In fact, he even picked up the cup on the table and took a sip from it.

Angeline turned around and glared at him with disgust. With a smirk, she said. “I don't agree with it.”

“What?” Steven frowned. He did not expect Angeline to reject liis request.

Angeline rested her arms on the edge of the table, her eyes filled with hostility. “I won't give you any form of raise. In fact. I'll deduct your commission from your salary this month for your unruly behavior today.”

Steven's expression instantly darkened. After slamming the cup on the table, he said with displeasure, “Don't go overboard. Ms. Sorelle.”

Angeline's eyes brimmed with dissatisfaction. She had always been someone who would take revenge whenever someone offended her. She snatched the cup and splashed the contents onto Steven's face. “I find you a little too arrogant. Do you think we won't be able to hire new people if your team is gone?”

“You—•” Steven covered liis eyes, grimacing from the searing pain caused by the hot liquid.

Angeline gave him an expressionless gaze before shifting her attention to the employees outside. Following that, she purposely raised her voice as she said, “I've always treated capable employees with respect and will never mistreat them. As for employees who never perform well and only care about their profits, they'll be fired!”

She uttered each word clearly. Although she was skinny, she exuded a powerful aura.

All the employees who gathered near the door shuddered with fear and hurriedly dispersed from the spot.

Steven never expected Angeline to be so tough. Panic began to flood liis eyes, and liis lips trembled. He could not utter a single word.

Just then, a security guard knocked on the door and entered. Noting the look in Angeline's eyes, he immediately dragged Steven out of the office.

Then, with a bang, the door slammed shut.

Finally, there was silence in the office. Angeline leaned against the table and massaged her pounding temples.

“Mmph!”

Right then, she felt a weight on her thighs.

As she looked down, she saw Sebastian had run to her. hugged her thighs, and gazed at her with his puppy dog eyes.

The concern in liis gaze sent a warm feeling through her heart. Patting Sebastian's head, she asked softly, “Darling, you were worried about me, weren't you?”

Sebastian nodded firmly. He pointed at the strawberry cake Angeline had bought for him, gesturing for her to eat it.

Sadly, he did not know how to speak. All he could make were sounds with liis forehead covered in sweat.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Sebastian, but I don't want to eat it now.” Angeline squatted and gently squeezed liis shoulders. Her eyes that were fixed on him were tender.

“Don't w’orry. I'll do my best to earn loads of money to let you live a better life. Soon, you'll be able to play under the sun like the other children.”

She did not mention about liis sickness to his face.

Sebastian blinked as if he understood her words. Smiling shyly, he lifted liis hand and caressed her face.

The sight of liis cute face comforted Angeline greatly that all the grievances she experienced in the company were nothing.

“Sebastian, run along and play. I'll be with you in a while.” Nancy approached with a smile. Once Sebastian left, she shot Angeline a look of admiration. “Babe, your response just now was perfect. There's no need to be so polite with people like them.”

Angeline shook her head helplessly and crossed her anus with worry written all over her face. “I only taught them a lesson. The problem now is that there's less than a week's time until this month's product gets launched into the market, and there's no originality in these designers' drawings.”

That was what worried her the most.

She needed a professional designer with great ideas who could help raise Forrester Group's performance and make a comeback.

As if suddenly remembering something, Nancy said, “Speaking about that, I have someone to recommend to you.” She bent over and pulled out a name card from her bag and handed it to Angeline. “Here. This is a senior I got to know when I was abroad. Back then, he was a genius in the design academy. In fact, liis first collection of clothes was featured on the international runway show.”

“Wow, really?” Angeline took the card from Nancy and glanced at the name—Joel Quinn.

She had never heard of that name before.

Nonetheless, it was normal since she never did her homework on the industry before.

A hesitant look emerged on Angeline's face. After thinking about it, she said, “If he's that capable, then it should cost a lot to hire him. This company started not long ago and we're really tight in terms of finance—”

“Hey, of course. I've considered your troubles.” Nancy placed an arm on Angeline's shoulder and harked back to her past. “Joel might be incredible, but he has an odd personality. The salary is the least of liis concern for signing a deal with a company. The impression is what matters the most. He could've made a comeback two years ago, but he hid in the mountains during the most crucial period and hasn't stepped out ever since.”

Angeline was surprised. She took another glance at the name card and deduced he was probably in liis thirties.

He has such high-level thinking at such a young age. That's impressive.

“You've always felt that the design department's drafts lack originality, so I'm recommending him to you. Think about it. I'll send you liis address if you decide to hire him.”

Angeline tightened her grip on the name card, her heart wavering at the offer.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Lilian pushed it open and entered. “Ms. Sorelle. are you busy? Mr. Yiurk is in the cafeteria. He'd like to talk to you.”

The moment Angeline heard that, she turned around and exchanged looks with Nancy. They saw the smug look in each other's eyes.

Looks like Hanson's finally desperate enough to play liis trump card.

Meanwhile, drama was still unfolding at Golding Group.

Although Evander had suppressed the company's internal strife using liis marriage with the Sherrock family, Julius was not the kind who would give in easily.

He initiated a shareholders' meeting and managed to place Hubert into Golding Group, making the latter the company's vice CEO after getting votes from the shareholders.
