Not Your Doormat Anymore

Of course, I remembered that. Jason told me that I needed to find a traditional craft artisan and convince him to partner up with us.

Nevertheless, ever since Lindsey came over, I no longer paid attention to that matter. Could it be that it hadn't been settled?

"The other party is an elderly man with a strange temperament. Not only has he been refusing to see us, but he has refused many other companies' representatives too. He rejected everyone.

"This is a part of the marketing department's task. If you don't mind, I can arrange for Ms. Gomez to convince the craft artisan with you. No matter how great the price is, as long as you can settle this deal, those rumors about you and Ms. Gomez will naturally die down."noveldrama

Colleagues working together on a project was a perfectly normal reason to be seen together.

"Hasn't the post been taken down?"

Lindsey shook her head. "Deleting the post is just surface-level. What we really need to address are the company-wide rumors. Simply silencing people isn't enough. It wouldn't be fair to Ms. Gomez either."

"Alright then. You can make the arrangements."

I nodded. After all, this matter was related to Kourtney's reputation. It was better to nip the gossip at the source.

When Kourtney was led to my office, she appeared lost.

"I'm going with Mr. Ranford?"

Kourtney pointed at herself, confused. As she was only an intern who had just joined the company, it was surreal for her to participate in a project with the general manager.

"With all the gossip going around about you, we need to give people a proper explanation."

Lindsey nodded. I stepped out of the suite after changing my clothes.

"Let's set off now. Let's go."

Before Kourtney could even see the content of the partnership, she was brought to the car by me. On the way, she looked through the proposal and kept nodding.

"This is indeed a good idea, but I heard the other party has a bad temperament. Even if we go over today, it'll be hard for us to meet him."

Kourtney raised her head and looked at me. Since I didn't know much about this, I said, "Lindsey said that we have to settle this partnership no matter what." "That's too difficult."

Kourtney rested her chin on her hand. "Let's go over and have a look first, then." "Is your work very tiring?"

Kourtney hadn't been in a good mood lately and would sigh at times. Even though

I had helped her settle that matter, her mood hadn't seemed to improve.

She shook her head. "Actually, it's because my manager expects too much of me."

After her matter had been resolved

by me, the manager of the marketing department went to her the next day. Not only did he transfer her to another team, but he also gave her a document, promising her that she could become an official employee in advance as long as she completed it.

It was the first time Kourtney received a marketing task. As she didn't know any colleagues, she couldn't ask for help. So, she felt overwhelmed.

"Don't worry if you can't complete it. You still have half a month left to become an official employee. I don't think it'll affect you."

I quickly did the math. Even if she completed this marketing project, she would only become an official employee a few days in advance anyway.

"If I can become an official employee in advance, the salary I get for this month will be the same as an official employee. It's a thousand dollars more!"

Kourtney treasured this job a lot, so,

naturally, she didn't want to

disappoint her superior. However, because she hadn't finished that marketing task and had to work with me, it became a major challenge for her. sŵnovel

After this partnership was settled, Kourtney probably wouldn't have enough time

to complete the marketing task.

"Why don't I tell your manager to make you an official employee tomorrow?"

Kourtney immediately stopped me from talking. "No, I've already got enough eyes on me. If you help me become an official employee in advance, how will others look at me?"

She quickly shook her head and pouted adorably.
