Chapter 203 - Face of Adversity (2/2)
”Please set an appointment between me and Ms. Chanel,” Olivia said as she picked up a folder and flipped one page after another. ”And a meeting with Henry too. Tell his secretary it's important. If he wouldn't free his schedule, then let them know that I will assert my right as a Lin and march down his office unannounced.”
”Yes, President,” Secretary Gail agreed, and she fished out a notepad and pen from her blazer's pocket, jotting down Olivia's order.
”You know what? Scratch that. I'll just go and surprise him this week.”
A sinister aura outlined Olivia as her mind concocted random scenarios to surprise Henry Lin. She suddenly felt invigorated at the thought of angering Henry Lin.
In front of her, Secretary Gail dug her notepad and pen back inside her pockets and regarded Olivia. She was happy to see that her boss was looking healthy and glowing after her miscarriage.
After that unfortunate incident, Secretary Gail noticed how Olivia would rub her belly at random, and a glint of sadness would flash in her eyes before she would school her features back into her signature poker face.
Secretary Gail knew Olivia could hurdle the little bump that was thrown her way. Yes, she must be emotionally weak at the moment but it didn't negate the fact that her resilience was praiseworthy.
It was one of the few things that Secretary Gail found commendable about Olivia. Sometimes when she's slumped with work and she wanted to curse her job she would be reminded of how her boss would work twice as hard as anyone in the company.
People thought Olivia was just some heiress who got money to burn, well, yes, she had a headstart in that department but that didn't mean that Olivia didn't bust her a.s.s off and lazied around in the office.
It was known to everyone that Olivia spent her days slaving in the office. She was the first in and the last one out.
It was those years of training that toughen Olivia's stamina, and made her the woman she was,
Add to the list was the fact that being a woman in her chosen field, which was finance, wasn't a walk in the park. But Olivia didn't cower down, she kept pushing through to beat all the odds that blocked her path.
The level of adversity she had to face in England all because of her gender shaped Olivia into the woman she was known for in the finance world.
Pushing away any feeling of pity towards her boss, which Olivia would definitely pick up, Secretary Gail chose to toughen up. She knew Olivia had Maxen now, and could guess that he was also the reason why Olivia kept on moving forward no matter what life threw on her way.
