Anastasia's expression grew somber, and her aura became austere. She instantly remembered Susan as a new graduate and was in awe of Anastasia. By then, she'd even developed a sense of inferiority.
Susan soon overcame this emotion. She was now a deputy manager at Spark Enterprises, and Anastasia was simply a junior employee reporting to her. Anastasia was available whenever Susan needed her. She can toy her around in his palms.
Susan regarded Anastasia with contempt. "Yes! Do you still believe that you are the lofty chairwoman you once were and that I am still your assistant? Now that I'm your manager, you have to do anything I say. You must bear with all of my scoldings and beatings! Do you understand? If you can't stand that, go away and don't comeback in front of me."
"I know you still dream of returning to management and rising to the top of the Spark Enterprises, but those are just your dreams! You should know your place, Anastasia Reed. You are no longer the pampered heiress of this company!"
"I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you'll never get the opportunity to be promoted. You will remain at the bottom as an average employee for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to rise again! Put that in your mind, bitch!"
Susan yelled at Anastasia with a threatening attitude. She felt angry and envious of her!
How could Anastasia Reed have been born into such an affluent family and with such a lovely face? She even became the company's chairwoman at a young age and had everything everyone envied.
Why did I have to act so humble and inferior in front of her while she showed me favors and kindness?
Anastasia Reed has finally fallen from her perch and is considerably worse than me. I, Susan Clide, shall step all over her and never let her climb back up! I won't allow it. She should remain from where she is right now and never return to the top. Whatever it takes!
Anastasia found that ironic. Susan was now a deputy manager, but she had gotten there with Anastasia's help. On the other hand, Susan suddenly pushed her weight around and acted arrogantly in front of her. She even promised to criticize Anastasia and sabotage her! What a lunatic.
In that situation, her former ideas of her were extremely innocent and virtuous. She failed to see Susan's inner character after all.
Anastasia took a deep breath and gave Susan a chilly look. "Is that true?" Keep your eyes open. "I hope you never regret it!"
After saying this, Anastasia stopped gazing at Susan and the other people in the office, who were wearing strange expressions. She went straight to the bathroom to change out of her wet clothes. She was done with this kind of treatment from Susan.
…
Everything that happened at the business department office was promptly reported in detail.
Gideon Boysen refused to be irresponsible regarding Anastasia's concerns. He dispatched someone to monitor Anastasia's workplace conduct and reported these incidents to Ethan as quickly as possible.
When Ethan learned that Susan had openly humiliated Anastasia, slapped her, and even spilled hot water on her in front of everyone at the office, he felt compelled to kill someone. She is only the deputy manager of the business department, and she dares to disrespect Anastasia. Susan Clide wants a beating out of her guts!
Susan had previously compelled her to visit Dreamscape Media to discuss collaborating with them, but he hadn't yet had time to deal with her. Now she was getting worse! She had even the nerve to humiliate his Anastasia in front of everyone!
On the other end of the telephone, Boysen appeared to detect Ethan's coldness. He was so scared that he didn't dare to take deep breaths. Waiting for Ethan's order.
"Conduct a thorough investigation of Susan Clide. "She cannot be pure because she has openly accepted bribes in the office. "Find out all of her dirty deeds over the years, sort through the evidence, and report her to the police," Ethan replied coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Knight. I'll send someone to check it out immediately and make certain to perform a thorough job!" Boysen hurriedly responded. He was really scared out of his skull! He can feel Ethan's icy tone.
At this point, Ethan's phone received a text message. It was from Anastasia.
Ethan opened it quickly and smirked after reading the contents. This stupid girl has finally figured something out. It's time.
Before hanging up with Boysen, Ethan said, "I'd like to make Anastasia the General Manager of Spark Enterprises. Draft the official documents now and announce them before noon. I want everyone in Spark Enterprises to hear it! It's time the employees know their real boss!"
Boysen was surprised but quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Knight! I will get to it right now!"
He was surprised because he knew Anastasia had rejected Ethan's suggestion to appoint her the chairwoman of Spark Enterprises. After all, she preferred to start from scratch. However, he understood what Susan had just stated. Now, Anastasia's approach was the best one. This is the right time to make things right, for Anastasia, Mr. Knight's wife!
"Get someone to spread the word and say that the company is likely to promote Susan Clide to the position of the Director of the business department."
"Um...of course, Mr. Knight." Boysen was puzzled about why Ethan wanted to elevate someone like Susan Clide, but he soon figured things out and cursed himself for being so foolish.
Susan had the arrogance to bully Anastasia, so how could Ethan continue to praise her? He only wanted her to grow conceited once he revealed the news. The higher she stood, the harder she fell! A beating she deserves.
"Okay, I understand, Mr. Knight!" Boysen recognized it and moved on to it. He acts as swiftly as possible and spreads the news.
Ethan sat on the couch, looking at the message Anastasia had placed on the screen. "Can I be the General Manager?" He felt both heartbreak and hope. This stupid girl has finally decided to rely on me.
…
Soon, an HR assistant dashed into the business department's office and said to Susan, smiling, "I've come back to congratulate you. Ms. Clide, you'll get promoted shortly! I've come to your office as soon as I've heard the news. "
Susan was pleased when she heard this and exclaimed, "Really?" Am I going to get promoted? I'm going to be appointed manager? Wow! I'm so good!"
She had been deputy manager for some time, and her former boss, Reed family member, had been fired a while back. Susan assumed that the role would be naturally assigned to her. Amazingly, she finally got the news after such a lengthy wait! She was over to the moon now!
Susan grinned, and the other staff were about to congratulate her on her promotion. But the human resources assistant shook her head. "No, you won't be promoted to a manager."
Susan Clide froze, leaving everyone around her speechless. Given that it was a promotion, how could it not be to a manager? Is this some joke?
"Congratulations, Ms Clide. "You'll soon be the Director of the business department!" the HR assistant shouted, panting heavily.
Susan Clide was overcome with delight as if she had won the lottery! This is what she is waiting for!
Being promoted from deputy manager to department Director was a fantastic opportunity! She is really ecstatic of the news!
