“Oh!” Cindy exclaimed, smacking herself in the head as she realized with a start. “Sorry, Helen. I was busy on a date with my boyfriend, so I forgot…” “Urgh…” Helen was speechless.
Gina Zonda had bugged her constantly for a while that was why Helen gave Cindy a job at all.
However, Cindy had somehow managed to hook up with a hunk from the urban development department of Zamri.
When he asked her about her job, Cindy said she was working for the Lane family to avoid embarrassment.
The hunk mistook that for Lanecorp of Zamri, and not Lane Holdings of Riverton.
That was why Cindy asked her Aunt Gina to beg Helen for a job at Lanecorp.
Helen was now the head of the Lane family-arranging for a job could not be easier.
Helen, however, was left with a migraine over the issue.
It was true that it was easy to arrange a job for Cindy, but the problem was that Cindy knew nothing except fooling around.
But in the end, Helen caving to Gina’s pestering allowed Cindy to work for her as a secretary, acting as a runner or making her tea.
Helen just did not expect Cindy to assert her authority the first day at work. Not only had she been playing around with her new boyfriend past midnight, but she had forgotten all about her work and was late by an hour!
As a matter of fact, Helen’s evidence against the board members, which she had presented earlier, was delivered by her other secretary from Riverton. While she had
electronic copies that were net
even
more detailed, they were in her laptop, which she had left in Cindy’s care here in Zamri last night while she returned to Riverton to bring Frank over.
She really did not take into account that Cindy would fail even at that if she had her laptop, the documents and contents would have made that board meeting so much easier.
As Helen rubbed her temples, she looked at Cindy in her business suit, repressing her rage as she asked, “Where’s my laptop? Why didn’t you bring it with you?” “Oh… whoops, I forgot!” Cindy flinched like a cat which had its tail stepped on. “Will was playing some video games with it last night. I must have left it at his place!” “What?!” Helen could choke. “Company secrets were saved in that laptop! No one can be allowed to see it-I told you that before I left! And you let your boyfriend use it?!”
“What are you being so upset about, Helen?” Cindy made a face, and whipped out her phone. “I just forgot… I’ll call Will to bring it over, okay?”
Speechless, Helen whipped out her phone and dialed Gina’s number.
“Hello? Helen?” Gina chirped cheerfully. “How did the meeting go? Cindy didn’t get you into trouble, right?”
Helen took a deep breath-Gina really knew how to rub it in on the get-go.
“I’m sending Cindy back right now,” she snapped coldly. “My company doesn’t need someone like her. And no-nothing you say will change my mind!”
