Chapter 427: 423, The Parachuted Rival
Seeing that Titus Zane did not speak, Linda thought she had intimidated her, and with a slight uplift at the corner of her lips, she sneered coldly, "Sister Hua sent me to work with you, but,"
At this point, Linda paused slightly, Titus Zane came back to her senses, and heard her continue, "You know, people who are equally excellent can only be rivals, not...partners."
After finishing, Linda turned around and went back to her secretary’s desk to sit down and flip through documents.
Watching Linda’s determined demeanor, Titus Zane knew that the plan she had thought of earlier would be difficult to carry out.
Linda is a veteran among them, previously disdained to take domestic orders, this time to come to the domestic side, must be because Sister Hua promised her a not-so-low commission.
"So this time we are competitors, whoever gets the thing first, it’s all based on ability."
Linda was still flipping through the documents, her tone casual, if it wasn’t for someone close by, one wouldn’t be able to tell she was communicating with Titus Zane.
Her gaze slightly tightened, Titus Zane walked towards her own office.
Only after hearing Titus Zane’s footsteps entering the office did Linda raise her head, her eyes with color contacts no longer holding the previous sarcasm; instead, they were filled with deep inquiry.
She had seen Wesley Foley’s profile at the headquarters. What kind of man is he that Sister Hua’s best-trained assistant refuses to make a move?
In the CEO’s office, Titus Zane finished reporting Wesley Foley’s schedule for the day and put away the itinerary, "Director Foley, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first."
"Hmm, go ahead, and bring in a cup of coffee on the way."
Wesley Foley bowed his head to look at documents, the new product developed by the research institute was about to go into production, he had been busy these past few days.
Watching Wesley Foley busy, Titus Zane remembered that he seemed to have not invited her for meals together for a few days, not sure if it was because of being busy or deliberately distancing.
Unclear, but she had a vague feeling that it should be the latter, ever since that gathering with alcohol, he had become cold towards her.
"Yes." Titus Zane bowed slightly and turned around, and before she reached the door, a knocking sound came from outside.
It was a very polite rhythm, Wesley Foley had just looked up to say "Come in." when Linda had already walked in with one hand on the doorknob and the other carrying coffee.
She placed the coffee on the desk and took a step back, meeting Wesley Foley’s obviously questioning gaze with an appropriate smile.
"President, hello, I am the new secretary, Linda Q, you can just call me Linda."
Watching Linda’s behavior and dress, Wesley Foley frowned slightly, "Returned from abroad?"
Linda smiled again, with a very shy feel.
"President, you misunderstand, what returned from abroad," Linda continued humbly under Wesley Foley’s astonished gaze, "I’m just an unsuccessful American-Chinese who has been overseas."
"What did you do before?" Hearing that she was an American-Chinese, Wesley Foley couldn’t help but ask one more question.
Linda lifted her gaze, meeting Wesley Foley’s eyes, "I did scientific research."
Seeing the two hit it off, Titus Zane quietly left the office and closed the door. Through the door, she could hear Wesley Foley and Linda’s conversation still going strong.
Titus Zane wasn’t jealous of Linda’s sudden appearance, but worried instead.
Worried that the achievements Wesley Foley and his subordinates have been working day and night to research would be successfully stolen by her.
In the past when carrying out missions, she was just focused on getting what she wanted; now, she’s racking her brain on how to make Linda also "fail".
Having just walked a few steps, not yet reaching her own office door, Wesley Foley’s laughter came out, of course, along with Linda’s.
Titus Zane couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, no wonder Linda is so arrogant, just arriving at the company and already getting along so well with Wesley Foley.
