Chapter 9 Lilly's First Day of Work
706 Words
Pain!
The next day, when Lilly woke up, the first sensation she felt was that her head was in so much pain that it was about to explode.
"Here, Mommy, drink some honey water."
Maisy stood at the head of the bed with a cup of honey water in her hands.
Lilly smiled when she saw how thoughtful her daughter was. She took the cup and drank the honey water in one gulp.
"Where is Aunt Melissa?"
At this moment, some memories came back to her. She seemed to have drunk too much last night.
"Aunt Melissa has going to work!" Maisy took the empty cup.
"Mommy, it's time for you to go to work."
Maisy's words immediately woke Lilly up. It was really a mistake to go drinking yesterday. It was her first day of work today!
Thinking of this, she could no longer care about her headache. She quickly got out of bed and washed up.
Most of the clothes in Lilly's wardrobe were black professional clothes. She still looked dull and old-fashioned after changing her clothes.
"Maisy, be a good girl and listen to aunty. " Lilly reminded her daughter before going out.
Melissa had arranged for a nanny at home to take care of Maisy so that Lilly could go to work without needing to worry about her daughter.
After handling the official entry procedures, Lilly was randomly assigned a seat at a corner and told to start as a design assistant.
She was fine with this type of treatment. Since she had returned to Skargness, she'd have to start from scratch, leaving all of her previous abroad successes behind her.
But no one handed in her any work in the morning, so she occupied herself by reading the company's rules and regulations again and again.
"Did you see that woman in the corner?"
"Yes, it's her."
Some people began to secretly talk about Lilly during lunch break.
"Her style is so weird. I heard that Mr. Chen didn't come to work today because of her."
"I think so. But the most amazing thing is that Mr. Grant, who is as cold as an iceberg, made a joke after seeing her yesterday."
"Ah! What joke? What a pity I missed it. I was on leave yesterday."
"You don't look like you're here to look for love. Hahaha." The staff mimicked Stanley Grant, and the crowd burst into laughter.
Lilly heard all the conversations going on around her, but she didn't react to it.
She was no longer the young lady of the Morris family. She had been in the industry for so many years, so she knew very well that she had no chance of winning in her career if she relied on gossip or competition with others.
What she needed to do was to wait for the right time.
"Hey you, newcomer, take a look at these first. You can ask me if there is anything you don't understand."
Someone suddenly plopped a stack of documents on Lilly's desk in the afternoon.
The woman had already left in her high heeled shoes by the time Lilly reacted. Lilly noticed her enter an office marked 'Design Manager'.
It looked like the woman was going to be her leader.
Lilly thought about it. Then she quickly sorted out the documents and opened them one by one.
There was a design draft on each piece of paper. In terms of lines and design concept, this batch of drafts looked like the work of newcomers.
Was she testing her?
Lilly thought for a moment, picked up her pen, and started editing the drafts.
It was already eight o'clock by the time she finished all the drafts.
The people around her had left, and the only light came from her desk.
Lilly strolled out of her company gate and headed towards the bus stop. A red Porsche suddenly stopped in front of her.
The door opened, and a woman in branded clothes got out of the car.
Her fishtail skirt outlined her curves perfectly, and her 10-centimetre high heels clicked on the ground.
Lilly stared at the charming woman in front of her.
It was Laura White.
"Lilly, it's really you! I thought I was mistaken!"
