Chapter 322 You''re Not The Boss.


    Mnie felt uneasy. That night, she called her mother.


    Eliza was pretty close to Damon’s wife, Cynthia, and she knew some people in Damon’spany quite well. After updating her


    mother about the situation, Mnie requested Eliza’s help to secretly find out about Lena and her family’s situation in Willowfort.


    The next morning. Mnie received news from her mother just moments after she woke up. Her mother found out that Lena


    pleased Damon very much. His soft-hearted nature made him pity her plight right now. He allowed her to work in hispany,


    going so far as to assign her the position of a department head.


    She also heard that Lena would be working at the office today. Mnie had a feeling that her meeting with Damon today would


    be fraught with challenges.


    Mnie prepared her materials, and hailed a taxi to Thousand Acre Exhibitions office building. On her way there, she gave


    Damon a call.


    “Damon, are you at your office right now? I’ming over. | want to discuss an exhibition coboration with


    you.


    “| have something to attend to, and I’m not in the office right now. Look for the department head. She’s in charge of liaising with


    you,” Damon said matter-of-factly.


    Mnie blinked. She asked frankly, “If I''m guessing correctly, the department head you''re referring to is Lena, right?”


    The silence on the other end affirmed her guess.


    Mnie sighed.


    “Perhaps you’d tell me that harmony in the family is of utmost importance, no matter what | say. | have no


    idea what Lena and her family told you and what you believe, but you’ve worked hard your entire life for thispany. You''ve


    been running it well.


    “You''ve never asked for a share of the pie of Jones Enterprise, despite its growth. I’m sure you don’t want to see her


    compromising Thousand Acre’s interests, do you?


    “To be honest, | need your help with a perfume exhibition this time. But if you let Lena liaise with me, believe it or not, she will


    reject me on your behalf and go back home with a truckload of excuses to exin why she did


    that.”


    “Lena’s been performing well at work recently, and has been very obedient. Will she really do as you said?” Damon said


    ‘doubtfully.


    “Damon, why don’t youe back to the office and listen to it for yourself? If you’re right and Lena has really turned over a new


    leaf, | won''t make things difficult for her from now on,” Mnie said firmly.

    Mnie wasn’t surprised by that at all. She had expected this all along. Given Lena’s petty mind, she certainly wouldn’t be early


    in meeting her in a bid to show her who’s boss.


    Mnie calmly took out herptop. She started working while texting Mr. Smith over the phone, choosing photos for the


    exhibition backdrop.


    Lena finally came one hourter.


    She had thick makeup on, her hair was styled in an Updo. She was d in branded office wear.


    “Oh, if it isn’t my dear sister! Had | known it was you, | would’ve pushed away my earlier appointments ande to meet you


    first.”


    Mnie’s eyes grew cold, and she said unceremoniously, “Did you just buy this pair of shoes yesterday? Are they biting your


    feet? You look silly walking in them.”


    “You''re as observant as always,” Lena said with a wave of her hand, hiding the frustration growing inside.


    Mnie had no intention of sparing her, “Are these new clothes you''re wearing for the first time? They’re not your style at all.”


    “You still remember my style, Mnie? Oh, yes! | used to be a starlet under your wing in the past. That naturally cannot be


    compared with the professional manager that | am right now,” Lena retorted.


    “Nothing much seems to have changed. Whether a starlet or a manager, you''re ultimately still working for Damon,” Mnie said


    proudly as she made her intentions clear. “Quit putting on a show in front of me, it’s exhausting. | have something serious to


    discuss today.”


    Lena looked around her and tumed around to shutter the windows. “What is it?”


    “| want to work with Thousand Acre Exhibitions on a perfume exhibition.”


    “When is it?” Lena asked without even looking up.


    “Next week.”


    “We''re not avable next week.”


    Lena looked up, a firm look of rejection in her eyes.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Why is thepany not avable?” Mnie asked, fully expecting Lena’s rejection. She added with feigned persistence, “The


    perfume exhibition is a highly anticipated event, and the perfumes I''ve concocted have drawn much public attention. | want to


    work with Damon firstly because | think highly of Thousand Acre Exhibitions as a stable and reliablepany. Secondly, | want


    to achieve a win-win situation with Damon.”


    “Wow, this is my first time hearing someone speak in such a self-righteous tone when asking for a partnership. You make it


    sound as if we’re begging for a chance to work with you instead!”


    Lena smiled wickedly.


    “Well, pardon me. We''re in the peak season for exhibitions right now, and the schedules of all of our departments are packed.


    There’s no slot whatsoever for any new exhibitions. Find anotherpany.”

    “Lena, | hope you understand that we''re talking business right here. It’s best that you don’t bring in our personal grudges.”


    Mnie nced out the windows, and said steadily, “Damon might not know the terrible things you did in the past, but I do.


    Since he’s willing to give you a second chance to turn over a new leaf, you should treasure it and prioritize thepany’s


    interests in all things.”


    Lena raised her voice, “Save your lecture for your employees in Jones Enterprise! Quit acting like you''re the boss of this ce!”
