Second Marriage novel Chapter 373

“It seems that everyone is here.” Megan looked around and her eye fell upon a young man in the corner. Then she said, “Let me introduce Miss Alice to you guys. She is your new boss.”

They didn’t catch her last sentence. They heard that Megan called this woman Miss Alice.

Over the years, Megan was Zain’s right-hand secretary and assistant. She was a big name in the business. These designers knew her well.

However, Megan was very respectful to Alice. Her attitude towards Alice was sincere, which was out of their expectation.

Now they looked at Alice from a different view.

But Winnie said discontentedly, “She became a boss at such a young age. Is she really a capable designer? Or does she take a crooked way?”

Winnie was wearing a long red dress with red lips. She had very attractive eyes and had ice-temperament.

Hearing her words, Alice was not angry. She looked calm and imperturbable. She just took a glance at Winnie.

But Yanis felt uncomfortable when she heard Winnie’s words.

Then she realized what she meant. She was so furious that she scolded, “Crooked ways? What the hell do you mean?”

Winnie squinted at Yanis and said, “Who are you? You look very arrogant. Are you our new boss?”

Yanis got mad at her. She bit her lips and said, “Whoever I am, you’re not allowed to despise Alice. Even if you are a professional team.”

Yanis had a quick temper.

Alice knew it.

But she didn’t expect that Yanis lost her temper just because of Winnie’s words. Her face twisted in anger, while Winnie reserved an appearance of nonchalance. She pulled at her sleeve and dragged her to her back.

“Alice, don’t pull at me. I want to argue with her. Why did she say that you used crooked ways? You are…”

“Well,” Alice said, “Stop it.”

Although Yanis was angry, she was obedient to Alice. She pouted and took a look at Alice. Then she stepped aside.

Megan didn’t plan to help Alice.

It was demanded by Zain. He had told Megan that she should let Alice herself manage her team and win over her team members with her ability.

Zain trusted in Alice.

Megan knew it clearly. She wouldn’t interfere with Alice.

Alice walked forward and looked at Winnie. Although there was a smile on her face, she was a woman who was hard to deal with. She squelched Winnie’s instantly.

“You.” Winnie unconsciously took a step back and said, “What are you going to do? Do you feel guilty about my words?”

Alice smiled faintly and said in a low voice, “Why are you afraid of me? I won’t blame you.”

They were stunned by her words.

Alice now looked different from what they saw her at the first sight. At that time, she was dressed casually and they thought that she was a pushover. However, she was a tough woman who had a strong heart.

She told Winnie that she wouldn’t blame her.

But it was scary when she said it.

The office became quiet. Alice looked around and smiled gently.

She said, “I’ve seen your profiles before. Each of you is an excellent designer. It’s my great honor to work with you in my new company.”

These designers actually didn’t believe her words.

Yanis was angry and wanted to come forward to talk to them. But Megan stopped her and pulled her back.

“Megan, what are you doing? Let me go. I am very angry now. That woman is so arrogant. But Alice showed them a sincere attitude. Why does she treat them so kindly?”

Megan looked at Yanis helplessly. She said, “What about you now? Why are you so impulsive? Before we come here, Miss Alice had told you that she will have a period of a tough time.”

Hearing this, Yanis nodded and said, “Yes. Now I know that she means that it will be hard for her to handle these people. But what is she doing?”

“Miss Alice has expected this situation.”

…

“Don’t you think that she knows how to solve this problem?”

Then Yanis realized that she was impulsive. She turned around and stared at Alice.

Alice had changed a lot these years. She was no longer the weak and emotional girl. Alice was smart and determined. She just restrained her behavior in those years.

Now she showed her true self to them.

Yanis realized that Alice was stronger than she thought before.

It seemed that the gap between the two of them was widening.

Thinking of this, Yanis looked down to see the toe of her shoe. She just stood still and didn’t say anything.

“I know that you’re outstanding designers. I cherish talents. But I don’t like to force others. If you don’t want to work for me, you can leave this company now.”

When they heard what she said, their faces changed. Chloe felt wronged and asked, “What do you mean? Are you kicking us out?”

“No,” Alice shook her head and said gently, “It depends on yourselves. If you think that you’re wasted in the present position, you’re free to go. I’ll pay you the salary of this month.”

Her attitude was very firm. She seemed that she didn’t fear that they would leave her company.

She didn’t care about this design team.

It was an insult to them. They were angry at her words.

Rachel said, “You’re so arrogant. Who do you think you are? You look down on us.”
