Chapter 15:
Was he making a fuss because of what she said? He was so narrow-minded. How did he manage Benton Group with such a sensitive attitude? Weren’t his family afraid that he would bring the family’s business to ruin?
The following morning, Erica and Cathy criticized Annabel as usual during breakfast.
Annabel had developed thick skin over time, so she didn’t say anything.
Her silence fanned the troublemakers’ anger. They had wanted to get into a shouting contest with her this morning, but that wasn’t feasible now.
Annabel ate her breakfast as if she were the only one at the dining table. She then freshened up and left for work.
Her job as a secretary was a piece of cake since she was naturally dutiful. She finished all her tasks in the morning, had lunch, and then took a nap.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, she went to the bathroom. When she came back, she found a pile of documents sitting on her desk.
Nina was standing beside it, so it was obvious she had just dropped them.
“Why are these on my desk p>
Nina responded, “The data on these documents must be input into the company’s system today. Another secretary was supposed to share the workload with you, but he had an emergency and left earlier than usual. You have to work on them alone. Finish it all today. Sort out the data correctly because they are needed tomorrow. Have I made myself clear p>
Annabel silently leafed through the documents. The data was a lot. It would require hours upon hours of hard work. She would have to work overtime if she was to finish it alone today.
“Why didn’t you give them to me earlier? As you can see, this is a lot of work p>
Nina pointed at her menacingly. “Oh, please. What’s difficult about handling basic data records? You can’t fault me for handing them to you now. Just so you know, I was just notified of them. Working here can be very spontaneous, you know that. Why then are you complaining? Your title as Mr. Benton’s fiancée doesn’t excuse you from doing your duties here. As the head of this department, I have every right to assign tasks to you. If you can’t take it, just quit p>

Even a blind man could see that Nina was just trying to make things difficult for Annabel. However, Annabel wasn’t going to let anyone beat her down.
“It’s fine. I’ll handle it p>
With this, Annabel sat down and got to work.
A sinister smile appeared on Nina’s face. She had actually been notified about this in the morning. When she saw that Annabel had finished her other tasks so early, she intentionally gave a day off to the employee who was supposed to work on it. She had also kept mute until it was almost closing hour.
It was a heavy workload, so she calculated that Annabel would work until ten at night, and she would be exhausted even if she managed to finish it.
“Remember to make no mistakes. Every single figure must be accurate. One mistake can ruin the entire statistics and cost the company a lot p>
These words were getting on Annabel’s nerves. She uttered impatiently, “Anything else? If you have something important to say, just say it all at once p>
“Ermm… that’s all p>
“Now, please leave. Don’t you have work to do p>
Nina felt humiliated in front of the other employees.
It was a slap in the face for her because no one in this department ever went against her or said such words to her. How dare this newbie speak to her in that manner?
Nina was way above Annabel in this company, but she still felt somewhat inferior. She hated Annabel’s guts.
