Ecstacy of the Heart

Lillian suddenly reacted and was stunned. Her original suspicions became even more pronounced. Was there really something secretive happening between Allison and Alexander that couldn’t see the light of day? This thought flashed across her mind but was immediately dismissed by her.

How could Mr. Parker be attracted to this kind of woman? It must be her who was pestering him! Lillian slowly clenched her fists as she saw Allison walk away. Her heart was determined to expose this woman if she got her hands on any evidence.

“Achoo!” Allison sneezed as she felt a chill behind her as she entered the lift. Did someone miss her? She rubbed her nose but didn’t think too much of it and exited the lift when it reached the HR department.

As she walked into the common office area, a colleague walked over, “Ms. Gibson, Irene is waiting for you at her office.”

Irene? Allison tensed up and composed herself. She thanked her colleague and walked towards the supervisor’s office. Why did Irene look for her when it was almost the end of the workday? With knots in her stomach, Allison knocked on the door and entered the office.

Irene was at her desk and waved Allison in, “Come in, Allison.”

“What’s up, Irene?”

“I heard about it. Now that you had been promoted, you will take charge of the welfare gifts for this upcoming holiday. A lot of people are upset about your promotion. So, you need to handle this well to convince them of your abilities. Do you understand?”

What Irene said made Allison tense up and she nodded, “Yes Irene, I understand.”

She could feel the change in the attitudes of her colleagues toward her. Therefore, this task was critical for her. She also wanted to prove herself with this task.
