Shelby was excited, and she said to the secretary, "Secretary, can I give my reward to Doris?"
When her voice fell, seeing everyone looking at her, Shelby blushed, but still sincerely said, "Doris has more work experience than me, and she personally taught Fawzia a lesson. In my opinion, the position should be hers."
The secretary only smiled at the other party. "Doris, what do you think?”
After being stunned for a moment, Doris waved her hand and said, "Miss secretary, don't ask me. We should just listen to Mr. Hopper."
In the end, she said to Shelby, "Shelby, you are smart and very hard working. I believe that you are the right person to be the deputy manager!"
"But Doris..." Shelby still wanted to say something, but was gently interrupted by Doris, "I am very satisfied to know the truth of the whole thing. I don't care about other things."
"All right," the secretary said, "don't be modest to each other. In fact, Mr. Hopper has his own purpose to arrange for her to be the deputy manager."
Two days ago, she quarreled with Fawzia in the lobby. There were many people present, and the speed of gossip spread was fast. As a result, almost all the people in the company knew that the source of the dispute between Shelby and Fawzia was Madam Amelia Ramsay.
Therefore, the more Mr. Hopper supported her, the more Fawzia would be embarrassed, and other employees in the company would know how to restrain themselves.
As for Doris, although she hit Fawzia, she hit her in the sales department. The people in the sales department were not gossipers, so this matter did not spread out.
Fawzia suffered a great loss in the sales department, and it was even more impossible for her to publicize this matter to the public.
So after a careful consideration, Mr. Hopper chose Shelby to be the deputy manager. I don't know if everyone understood what I said, do you?"
Hearing that, the sales department nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, everyone in the the company was all talking about the quarrels between Shelby and Fawzia now. As for the fight between Doris and Fawzia, apart from the sales department, there was really no discussion outside.
"It's really a good ending for everyone." Lily, who was standing aside, sighed with emotion.
She had to admit that she had always believed that Mr. Hopper would not let others offend Amelia.
It turned out that those who offended her had paid a heavy price, while those from the sales department who actively supported Amelia had been rewarded and pardoned.
At the same time as Lily was happy, she didn't forget to tease, "Doris, now you don't have to think about resignation anymore, do you?"
Hearing this, the secretary asked in surprise, "What? Doris, are you going to resign?"
After hesitating for a while, Doris said with some embarrassment, "Yes, I did think so at first, because... because I thought Mr. Hopper didn't want to stand up for Amelia.
I have beaten Fawzia, who just got the position, and I thought I'd definitely be driven out of the company. Instead of being driven out by others, I would rather resign."
The secretary asked with concern, "Now that the truth is revealed, are you still going to leave?"
"No, no, no!" Doris shook her head desperately and said, "I misunderstood Mr. Hopper. Please apologize to him for me, Miss secretary."
Just as Doris finished speaking, she heard Shelby's reply, "Miss Secretary, me too. I misunderstood Mr. Hopper, and... I also misunderstood you, sorry."
In an instant, the sound of apology rose one after another, which made the secretary feel embarrassed. "Don't, don't, don't apologize to me anymore. I can't accept it.
As for the message you want to convey to Mr. Hopper, I will convey it to him after I go back.
Tucker was speechless. He had been back for a few days.
For a moment, Tucker didn't know if he should follow Patrick's words and say that he just came back and didn't know anything. It was better to stay honest and distance himself from Fawzia.
Until Tucker saw Patrick's sharp eyes, he couldn't help shivering. He felt that he'd better not play petty tricks, lest he end up having the same fate as Fawzia.
"Well... Mr. Hopper, I have something to report to you. Are you free now?"
Tucker was older than Patrick, but he dared not to be disrespectful.
Patrick took a deep look at him and said, "Sure. Take a seat."
Tucker carefully sat on the empty chair opposite Patrick. His movements were all stiff, which showed how nervous he was.
"Mr. Hopper... you probably don't know that Fawzia, who was punished to clean the toilets by you... is my secretary, right?"
Patrick asked expressionessly, "Oh, so what? Are you here to plead for her?"
"No, no, no!" Tucker denied. "I want to say that you did a good job! You did a good job!"
"People like Fawzia, who simply spread gossip about others, should be severely punished for slandering others. I came here today to apply for a new secretary."
Patrick answered an 'oh'. It seemed that he was surprised at Tucker's wisdom, or he seemed to be pity for Tucker's compromise. He wanted to follow Fawzia's words to pull Tucker down together.
