Chapter 14 Mocked by the Colleagues

Chelsea decided to teach Celeste a lesson later. On the other hand, Celeste quickly pulled herself together and entered the elevator to go to the floor where the Design Department was located. Marlon was pretty fond of her. Just as he was praising her design for its novelty, Chelsea pushed the door open and shouted, “Celeste!” Celeste was shocked. Then, Chelsea took her to task and warned, “You’d better stay away from the CEO whenever you see him so that he’ll forget about the farce today. If the Design Department is affected negatively because of you, I’ll kill you!” Well, I’d like to stay away from him, but we’re going to sleep in the same bed tonight! Certainly, Celeste wouldn’t dare to refute her in real life. She stood in an upright posture and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll stay away from him. I’m sorry, Miss Mack.” Since Celeste had apologized sincerely, and Marlon asked for mercy on her behalf, Chelsea decided to let the woman off. Also, she was swamped with work, to begin with. Marlon then discussed the remuneration and signed the contract with Celeste before asking, “Do you have some time today?” “Yes.” “We’re not going to pay you for your first day here, though. If you’re free, why don’t you go to the office and ask your colleagues about work-related matters?” “Sure.” Marlon then brought her to the office and introduced her to everyone. “Guys, please stop what you’re doing for a moment. We have a new colleague here.” “Hi guys, my name is Celeste Kiss. Nice to meet you.” Celeste politely greeted them. The colleagues welcomed her. After the introduction, Marlon left the place. “That’s a pretty unique name, huh?” a woman said with a smile just then. She sounded scornful. “Are you hoping to marry a wealthy man one day? Is that why you tried to leave an impression on the new CEO?” The woman was downstairs as well earlier. Just as everyone was puzzled, the woman told them what had happened downstairs just now. Celeste flushed with embarrassment. “Hahaha! Have you been reading too many romance novels or something?” Someone mocked her. “Well, young lady, I have to remind you that even though he’s a new CEO, he’s not a fool. It’s rumored that he has been controlling the company in secret for years. Also, even though he’s only 23 years old, he’s a ruthless businessman. If you don’t want to be destroyed, you’d better stop pulling any tricks and focus on your work!” “If you want to attract the CEO’s attention, show him your work,” a blonde man said all of a sudden. He looked pretty trendy with a nose ring. “We’re going to launch a jewelry series named ‘Love Forever’ at the end of the year. It’s the project that the CEO is most concerned about. However, I heard from Marlon that you have zero work experience. How are you going to compete with us? Also, some employees might be sacked.” Anyway, it had been a trying day for Celeste at the Design Department. Faced with her colleagues’ mockery, she remained tough. First of all, she loved design and was adventurous. Her passion could help her fend off all the derision. Secondly, she needed a job to help pay for Tyler’s studies. When it was finally time to get off work, Celeste bid Marlon farewell and went downstairs using the elevator. Upon arriving at the lobby, she couldn’t help but recall the incident in the morning as she fell deep in thought. I can’t believe the man I’m married to is the CEO of the Greatrep Group! Does that mean I’m a wealthy woman now? Also, the child I’ll give birth to in the future will be the heir to a powerful family. The moment she left the lobby, she saw Julian striding toward his car. No doubt he was tall and muscular. The driver opened the door for him and greeted him politely. She recognized that it was the same car outside the city hall that day. Before the car left, she took out her phone and snapped a photo. The CEO’s secretary, Ella, who was clad in a blue suit, happened to leave the lobby and saw what Celeste was doing.
