Chapter 14 Get Promoted

Finally, at the last minute of work time, Adele rushed to the company. This month's full attendance bonus was secured. Adele leaned on her desk and gasped in a low voice. She had thought that she would be seen, but who would have thought that Damon had a private entrance, and no one else was present. Henceforth, she would be able to ride in the car openly. Thinking about it, she was quite happy. Just as Adele was feeling a little proud of her luck, the department meeting started. Adele took her notebook and quickly found a seat in the small corner of the conference room. Yusuf Group's administrative department was very large. There were more than fifty people in total. The content of the meeting was still the usual. It was about appearance, time, rules, etc. These words made people feel a little sleepy. But at this time, the Administrative Director, Corine Blunt, suddenly called Adele's name. Everyone turned to look at Adele in high spirits. Adele was even more confused, yet she had no choice but to stand up obediently. "From today onwards, Adele will be the administrative assistant." Corine clapped after saying this. Although everyone felt that it was a little strange, they also clapped. Then the meeting was over. As the person involved, Adele was confused. She quickly followed Corine and asked. "Corine, what's going on? Did I get promoted?" Corine glanced at Adele and replied expressionlessly, "I received a notice from the personnel department this morning. As for why, I don't know." After that, Corine left. All of a sudden, Adele became the hot topic of the department. There was a set of strict standards for Yusuf Group's promotion. Interns had to go through three months, then pass the exams and interviews. After that, they could become an official employee of Yusuf Group. If ordinary employees wanted to be promoted to be an assistant, they would have to be in the office for three years. Adele had only been in the office for two years. In terms of time, she was not qualified. Therefore, her promotion made people speculate. "What right does she have to be an assistant? Oh, I remember that you have been here for three years now. The supervisor is also good to you. You should be the assistant, not her! " "God knows what kind of luck she got!" In the bathroom, there was more criticism than congratulations about Adele's promotion. At this time, Adele, who was squatting in the cubicle, felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her colleagues' evaluation of her. Although she had only been in the company for two years, she had been diligent, serious, and a good team player. Why should she get ostracized after being promoted? "Adele, congratulations!" Adele returned to her seat in a depressed mood. Jacquelin suddenly jumped in front of her and handed her an apple. Jacquelin was a young girl who had just turned 20 this year and had been working in the company for almost three months. She was assigned to Adele as soon as she entered the company and trained with her. During this period, Adele had always regarded Jacquelin as her younger sister. Jacquelin was the first person to congratulate Adele, which made Adele feel a little better. She smiled at Jacquelin and said, "Thank you, Jackie." Then she took the apple from Jacquelin's hand. Since she got promoted, Adele had to hand over her previous work to Jacquelin. Jacquelin followed behind Adele and listened carefully. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the ring on Adele's ring finger. Jacquelin's eyes suddenly lit up and she said in surprise, "Adele, this ring of yours is really beautiful!" Although this ring was not inlaid with any diamonds, the design was very beautiful. Adele's hand stopped, and her eyes also fell on the ring. Looking at the ring, she could not help but think of the scene when Damon put the ring on her. Although it was not a romantic occasion, a handsome man was romantic enough. Adele's face turned red. "Adele, can you lend me this?" Jacquelin looked at the ring on Adele's hand and asked sincerely. Adele did not expect Jacquelin to make such a request. Looking at Jacquelin's eager eyes, Adele was a little embarrassed. Damon had said that she was not allowed to take off this ring at any time or place. After hesitating for a while, Adele apologized to Jacquelin, "I'm sorry. This is my wedding ring." Jacquelin was a little surprised when she heard what Adele said. She quickly said, "Ah, ah, I'm really sorry. I didn't know. I was so rude." However, there was a flash of disappointment and sadness in her eyes.
