Chapter 30: Making A Big Mistake
Standing by Yusef's side, Yolanda couldn't help curling her lips when she sees Macy embracing and saying goodbye to these two handsome foreign men. "Taking liberties with guys in the name of work..."
Yusef tilts his head slightly, "Go back to the company."
They happen to be here to have lunch after talking with the other party. Unexpectedly, they meet Macy and the German representatives.
He doesn't handle this project, so there is no need to greet them. Of course, he has read the text messages sent by Macy and Rayburn in advance.
The only thing he doesn't expect is that Macy might be more capable than he imagined. While working as his secretary, she could also act as an interpreter to save the day.
It seems that he underestimated her too much before.
Macy returns to the company, and within minutes, Yolanda suddenly comes in.
"Wow, our interpreter is back?"
In a strange tone, Yolanda even doesn't hide the sarcasm. Macy glances at her, replies with a chuckle, "Interpreter? Miss Sue, don't pull my leg!"
"Pull your leg? How dare I make fun of you! While becoming the translator of Mr. Rayburn, you are also able to flirt with a handsome German guy rightfully. Not everyone has this treatment!"
Macy stops tidying up her stuffs, looking at Yolanda, still smiling, "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Sue, I just work normally."
Yolanda's face clouds, "Mr. Penn and I have seen everything at the entrance of the hotel, and you still want to deny it?"
Macy's heart tenses, but she doesn't say anything.
Yolanda mentions that they see her at there.... Could it be that Rolf hugged her?
As Macy is about to speak, Yolanda rolls her eyes at her, " hypocritical!"
Leaving this word, she walks out of her office. Macy takes a deep breath and keeps silence.
The reason why Rolf hugs her is expressing his gratitude. It's not as complicated as Yolanda describes. Besides, Rayburn is the vice president of the company, who is also her superior, and they have already noticed Yusef, so she really has no reason to refuse.
But in the end, it seems that she is still thankless.
Macy bit her lip, finally holding back her grievance, but she doesn't expect that the bad things will come so quickly.
Almost approaching afternoon, Rose calls her in a hurry, "Miss Macy, please come to Mr. Rayburn's office immediately!"
Rose's tone is very anxious, completely devoid of the gentleness and calmness she had on the morning call. Macy is taken aback by her panic. Before she asks for the reason, Rose has hung up the phone. Macy feels disturbed, walking to Rayburn's office right away.
The door of the office is open, and Rayburn's furious voice comes from inside, "How can you give her such an important thing! She has only been here for a few days! Rose, Rose! Where is your brain today? You forget to bring it?"
Macy couldn't help being shocked by the reprimand from the office. She suddenly had an ominous premonition, and her pace slows down unknowingly.
Until walking to the door, she sees Rayburn, who is standing by the sofa with an angry face, and Rose leaning back to the door and bowing her head slightly.
As Macy appears, Rayburn becomes silent suddenly, while his eyes almost shoots through her.
Macy steps forward with the sweaty palms, "Mr. Rayburn, what's wrong?"
"You ask me?" Rayburn's eyes are bloodshot, and his anger directs at her.
Macy is scared. Bending her eyebrows, she flashes through everything that happened this morning in her mind. From the beginning to the reception room, and then accompanying the German representatives to restaurant,
doesn't realize anything goes wrong...
Except...the document she gave to Rolf without authorization!
Macy reacts abruptly, looking at Rose beside her in amazement, saying in a low voice, "Miss. Ansel, is it because of that document..."
Distressed, Rose nods. "That is the
final market price of our finished product. In fact, if they ask to see the pricing table, we will change the price and show them what we want, so that we could reduce the price of accessories they provide... However, you've shown them our real pricing directly. Now they know our real profits, so they are definitely not
willing to give us extra discounts..."
In other words, she directly showed their last card to the other party. Therefore, they will not lower the price, which means that today's negotiations are all in vain!
Macy clenches her lower lip, knowing that she has committed a big mistake. She lowers her head, and makes an apology solemnly, "Mr. Rayburn, I'm very sorry...I shouldn't give them the pricing table without any authorization..."
"You are sorry?" Rayburn asks her with a furious tone, "Do you know how much the company will lose just because of your mistake? Macy, can you afford it?!"
Of course, she couldn't. Her carelessness puts Rayburn's efforts into vain and make the company lose countless benefits directly. How could she afford it?
"I am so sorry..." At this moment, all the words sound extremely weak but that's the only thing she could say.
Rayburn snorts coldly, "Macy, since you make a mistake in my field, you should follow my rules! Rose, arrange it! For the final punish, we will wait for the price proposed by German representatives." Feeling the whole face flushing, Macy follows Rose with a panic.
This incident is indeed her fault. If she had calls Rose and ask about it at that time or refused to give the documents directly to Rolf, she would not have ended up like this."
Rose leads her to the entrance of
the staff canteen's bathroom, and says softly, Miss Macy, Mr. Rayburn set this rule for his subordinates before. If someone makes a serious
mistake, he or she has to clean &
bathroom. Without his instructions, you can't stop until going off work..."
Biting her lip, Macy looks at Rose and apologizes guiltily, "I see. I'm so sorry, Miss Ansel, I become your burden this time."
Rose smiles at her. Without saying anything else, she points Macy the direction of the tools before leaving.
Rayburn's punishment is indeed ruthless. It is a very terrible humiliation for people to clean the bathroom in the most crowded part of the company.
Taking a deep breath, Macy walks towards the tool room, and takes out a worn-out mop that has been used thousands of times.
With a slight frown, Yusef stands at the entrance of the cafeteria, staring at the girl walking into the bathroom.
At noon he still thought that he underestimated this girl, but now it seems that he overestimates her at all.00000
