Chapter 70 - Little Dum-Dum (1/2)
”Sir, if you didn't stop abusing your rights as my boss, I'll file a lawsuit against you!” Xiu's veins had bulged out in anger now. All her anger was obviously directed at Dylan.
”Ms. Bai, come here,” Dylan beckoned her to come to his side and Xiu took careful steps towards his desk. But she stood at a considerable distance away from him. He clicked a button on his keyboard and said, ”Watch carefully.”
Xiu frowned but she still looked at the screen. The screen showed the surveillance view of the secretarial department on their floor.
On the screen, she could see how three out of five of secretaries were busy on their cellphones. Xiu was uncertain about why he was showing this to her. This was not something surprising to her. She had seen this scene everyday live.
”What do you think they are hired for?” She heard his question and looked at him.
”They are your secretaries?” She answered doubtfully. ”So must be here to complete your tasks.”
”Then why only you're allowed to enter my office?” He further questioned while looking at her.
”I don't know,” she answered shrugging her shoulders. ”Maybe, it's your favorite hobby to only order me around.”
Dylan stood up from his swivel chair and stepped close to Xiu saying, ”You just said that you're overqualified for this job. But why am I finding you not as smart as your resume stated?”
”What do you mean?”
”Do you know what your job title is?”
”Chief Executive Assistant of the CEO.”
”Correct. Then do enlighten me why are you not using your position or your brain?” He poked her head with his finger seriously finding her very slow-minded now. ”In this company, the only person who can order you is me. The rest are below you and they would have to do as you say. Therefore...” He crossed his arms before his chest and added, ”If you had used your own mind a little bit instead of running all around the city. You could have ordered anyone in that secretarial department to do this menial task for you. I never said that you have to go to the bakeries yourself. Your task was to bring cupcakes, how you do it was all up to you.”
”Oh,” was Xiu's reply. Now that he mentioned it, he really didn't say that she had to go herself. But since she always did her work herself, she just assumed that she was supposed to go and buy those cupcakes herself.
Also, she was still skeptical about those new secretaries who joined with her. All of them were either lazing around or gossiping. And Xiu wasn't fond of people who didn't take their job seriously.
