Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 114

Blanca kept her head down, but her nails were heavily hurting her palms...

She always believed in herself and felt confident that she would be able to handle everything well. But reality slapped her in the face - she wasn’t as good as she thought she was.

“Excuse me, Miss Gregor. Can you please let me know what I can improve on?” Blanca let out a long relief, held up her head, and squeezed a smile.

Blanca never got defeated!

Seeing Blanca being all humble, Anna was surprised. It was beyond her expectation that the chairman’s wife would speak to her in this manner. A brief moment later, she adjusted her approach - Blanca was a new member of staff after all. Anna never made an exception to treat anyone differently.

“First of all, you should come to me if you haven’t been assigned any work instead of spending the whole day going through only the Employee Handbook. It wasn’t even a book. In addition, you seemed like an outsider. You don’t get along with your co-workers. We are a team here. Are you aware of that? Besides, I don’t really like those who use connections to land a job or anyone inexperienced. So I hope you can catch up with our productivity, or you will be dismissed.”

Anna said all these super speedily. Blanca didn’t catch every word, but she knew where these words were coming from...

Blanca’s face turned so pale.

And her eyes were watery.

Blanca thought she was working hard enough, and she was studying the Employee Handbook all day yesterday, but it turned out... From the leader's point of view, she was wasting her time - it was nothing but low work efficiency and her being not gregarious... But she didn't do anything?

“And now you are crying?” Anna saw Blanca getting all upset, and she said with a sneer, “If you cannot handle the pressure, leave as soon as possible. If you are not leaving, get out and go back to work.”

“Noted.” Blanca forced an ugly smile and sniffed, “I am on my way out.”

She wouldn’t give up on this valuable opportunity...

Blanca had a very long sigh. She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore once she got out of Anna’s office and saw everyone working so hard at their desks.

She knew she did not belong here.

Why...

“What’s the matter, Blanca?” A girl who was seated next to Blanca passed by and asked.

Blanca shook her head and walked into the pantry quickly. She feared she would lose it in front of everyone - Obviously, she was scolded for not doing a good job. Why would she be so wrong? Was it because she didn’t do a good job? All she needed was to do better next time than this one...

But beads of tears were running down her cheeks. Blanca held up her head, feeling upset. People around her grew up in happy families, and found a good job after finishing college; but what about Blanca herself? She didn’t have any skills... She didn’t even hold a college degree.

Blanca could hear her colleagues laughing and speaking from the outside. She wiped her tears away in a hurry and pretended she was in there to fetch some warm water.

Throughout the morning, she was devoted to getting familiar with her work. But in fact, she was an intern so all she had to do was simple - printing documents, ordering couriers and filling out forms, etc. Thanks to the help from the girl seated next to her, Blanca now knew how to fill out the forms. The girl saved Blanca’s day!

When it was lunchtime, Isabel asked Blanca to have lunch together. She was about to leave with her, but her phone rang.
