Cathy didn’t have much of a reaction.
Andy happily planted a kiss on Cathy’s check. “Cathy, thank you for supporting my career. If you have any friends who want to do this, just bring them along, okay?”
Cathy felt that this whole thing sounded very strange, but she didn’t want to argue with Andy, so she just gave a perfunctory
nod.
Gabriel dropped Gina off at the Quaria building
Michael, who had been waiting at the entrance of Quaria, immediately greeted Gina as she got out of the car, but his face turned sour as soon as he saw Gabriel.
Last night, the three of them had dinner together, and the atmosphere was filled with tension. Michael and Gabriel just couldn’t stand each other..
Michael thought Gabriel was superfluous, hindering his get-together with Gina.
Gabriel thought Michael was spoiling his and Gina’s alone time.
Throughout the meal, they silently gave each other bad looks.
“Gina. I’ve already informed the design department to welcome you. Everyone is waiting for you. Let’s go.”
Michael wanted to quickly make Gabriel stop trying to be present around Gina.
“Gina, don’t overwork yourself. I’ll wait for you after work.”
Gina turned her head and nodded to Gabriel.
“Gina, let me give you a heads-up about the situation in the design department first.”
Michael was not willing to show weakness and drew Gina’s attention back to him.
Gina was a bit confused, always feeling that Michael and Gabriel were competing in secret.
What were they competing for?
They exited the elevator.
Michael’s phone rang. “It’s an important client. I’ll take this call.
“Okay”
Gina nodded and walked toward the design department first. As soon as she reached the entrance, she was sprayed with confetti
“Welcome to the design department!”
After the crowd cheered, they looked at Cina in surprise.
Gina didn’t know they had prepared a welcome ceremony, and they were not sure if Gina was the designer they were waiting
for

Chapter 242
“Is she the exclusive designer Mr. Clark is going to bring today?”
If so, where was Michael?
75%
Before Gina could admit anything, a somewhat shrill voice rang out. “You’ve mistaken someone, haven’t you? Where does she look like an exclusive designer?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Alison, who was dressed impeccably with a sharp, professional look. She scrutinized Gina from head to toe, feeling that the so-called exclusive designer was nothing more than a pretext.
The main point was that Michael wanted to insert someone into the design department.
Alison had a low opinion of such parachuted high-end talents.
Moreover, Quaria had never had such a precedent, and now. Michael, whom she had always respected, had actually done such a thing, which made Alison feel a bit disappointed.
But after all, Michael was the company’s president, and she couldn’t possibly get angry at the CEO.
So, she was hostile towards this exclusive designer she had never met.
And because of this matter, she was in a bad mood and had no good attitude to Gina, who had wandered into the design department. “Newcomer? The newcomer should stay where they should be. What are you wandering around for? You’re so restless. I really don’t know how you got into Quaria.”
“Alison, even if she’s a newcomer, you shouldn’t be so rude to her, right? Maybe she’s here to work in the design department?”
Zelda appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
Someone whispered.
“Zelda… Has she fallen in love with our design department recently? Why is she running here all the time…”
“Hey, don’t you know? Zelda had a bit of a conflict with Alison some time ago, and Zelda probably didn’t accept it and always came to provoke Alison from time to time.
Zelda stood considerately in front of Gina. “Don’t be afraid. Actually, many of our colleagues at Quaria are very easy to get along with
“You really are, Alison. You’re scaring the newcomer.”
Zelda pointed at Alison. “She is the director of the design department. If you are in the design department, she will be your direct superior in the future.”
Alison didn’t like Zelda to begin with, and seeing her meddling, she rolled her eyes. “What does our design department’s matter have to do with you from the marketing department?”
“I just can’t stand you bullying newcomers!” Zelda said righteously.
“What are you arguing about?”
Michael arrived late, and the scene finally quieted down.
“Good morning, Mr. Clark.”
Michael saw the glitter on Gina’s hair and smiled. “Has the welcome already taken place?”
Alison was a bit surprised, “Mr. Clark, is she the exclusive designer you mentioned, Gina Miller?”

Michael nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
Zelda dramatically covered her mouth with her hand. “Miss Miller, so you’re the new exclusive designer? I thought you were just a new employee.”
Tm
sorry. I didn’t realize. I truly didn’t see that you were the exclusive designer. You are so young and yet so accomplished. That’s incredibly impressive.”
After Zelda finished speaking, she gave Alison a triumphant look glad she had known early on that Gina wasn’t an ordinary
person.
Today, she had helped Gina out of a difficult situation. Although it wasn’t a huge favor, it would at least make Gina remember her. This small act of kindness might bring her great benefits in the future.
Alison was in a different situation. She had offended this influential exclusive designer on the first day, and her future days. would not be easy.
If Alison had a hard time, Zelda would be happy because Alison had offended her before.
Served her right!
Alison calmly accepted the fact that Gina was the exclusive designer.
And she gave Zelda a disdainful look, thinking of her as a sycophant
Seeing how
young Gina was, Alison became even more convinced that Gina was probably a person without real talent, and she felt sorrow that the design department would be stuffed with mediocrity.
“Since everyone has already welcomed Miss Miller, I think I dont need to introduce her too much, do I?”
“Mr. Clark!” You didn’t see it when you came late ju
just now. Miss Miller was bullied.
Zelda could not miss the opportunity to throw Alison under the bus.
Michael was surprised. “Who?”
Zelda pointed at Alison. “Of course, it’s Alison. She thought Miss Miller was a newcomer who had taken the wrong path and got angry with Miss Miller.”
Michael’s expression became serious. “Alison, is that true?”
Zelda quickly answered, “Of course it is.”
“So many people saw it.” Zelda pointed at the crowd from the design department.
Alison responded quickly as well, I’m sorry, Miss Miller. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have lost my temper.”
Zelda sneered. “Tsk, you shouldn’t have lost your temper? I think it’s because you thought Miss Miller was a newcomer, so you dared to vent your anger on her so recklessly, right? Do you think Quaria is your home and you can vent your anger on whoever you want?”
“I don’t think your apology is sincere. It’s because you found out that Miss Miller is an exclusive designer, so you changed your attitude, didn’t you?”
