The last words seemed to slap Sheila right in the face.
Sheila felt a burning sting on her cheek, utterly embarrassed.
"Alright, I still need to take Mrs. McMillian for a tour in other departments. You guys figure out the rest."
Romeo’s words left the design department feeling a pang of loss. They hadn’t had enough chat with Rosemary.
"Mrs. McMillian, you should come visit the design department when you have time."
"The entire design department would love to invite you for an afternoon tea!"
"Exactly! Next time you come, just say what you’d like to eat or drink."
Rosemary’s gaze softened. "Thank you."
"We should be the ones thanking you. You’ve inspired us and made us realize that we still have a long way to go in design."
"Next time, I’ll definitely present more impressive works for you to see, Rosemary."
"Mrs. McMillian, see you next time."
"You must come."
Rosemary nodded with a smile, surveying the crowd. Sheila was at the very back, her face contorted with embarrassment.
"Sheila, could you step out for a moment?" Rosemary suddenly called out.
Everyone in the design department looked at Sheila. She had just offended Rosemary.
Now that Mr. McMillian was back from his call, Rosemary was going to settle the score with her.
Having won several international design awards in recent years, she dared to be so reckless in front of Rosemary.
She was still a young girl — a bit green.
Sheila was initially taken aback when Rosemary called her out, but she quickly composed herself. The clicking sound of her high heels on the floor wasn’t as confident as before.
"Mrs. McMillian," Sheila stepped into the hallway outside the department, her voice considerably quieter.
"Irene chose to resign."
Rosemary’s words left Sheila frozen on the spot, her expression a mix of surprise and embarrassment.
"Deputy Manager Max was taken away by the police because he had been harassing female interns for the past two months, and they reported him."
Sheila’s face turned even more sour. She hadn’t expected that Rosemary had heard every word she’d said to others just now.
"The person who turned Mr. McMillian’s office upside down was Maria, not me," Rosemary continued. "She was fired because she made a mistake, thought she was clever, and spoke ill of others. Mr. McMillian didn’t take into account the relationship between the McMillian and Paisley families and fired her.
This goes to show that nepotism doesn’t work in this corporation. What Mr. McMillian values more is an employee’s personal abilities and character."
Sheila was dumbstruck, unable to utter a word.
How had Rosemary heard what she’d said to others from such a distance — and so clearly!
"Mrs. McMillian..." Sheila didn’t know how to defend herself. She glanced at Romeo, who seemed somewhat indifferent.
"Mr. McMillian—" Sheila really didn’t know how to explain.
