Chapter 21 Find out Who He Is
After the meeting was over, it had been two hours.
Ella returned to the office in a bad mood, not only for being singled out for criticism by her boss, but only for the time wasted due to the meeting -- she had 20 pictures to be finished that an overtime was a must! She hated Aiden even more!
After a short period of work, it was the time for lunch.
Sofia, Bella and Anne came to her for lunch together.
"You go. I will not have lunch. I haven't finished my work." Ella was staring listlessly at the computer screen.
Sofia pulled her up. "Ella, are you crazy? You are not a robot! How can you keep working without eating. Though our jobs do not require physical efforts, but laboring with brain is also exhausting! Besides, you've just recovered. Do you want to get sick again?"
"Yes, Ella, we know you are in a bad mood, but the three of us have decided to treat you to a feast. You can return to work after lunch!" Even a cheapskate like Bella offered to treat her, Ella's resolution began to stagger
Anne added, "Come on, let's go. Time passes quickly, and we also have a lot of work to do. Ella, don't hesitate anymore."
Seeing everyone was so enthusiastic, Ella didn't refuse any more "OK! Let's go."
Because of their promise, the four people did not go to the company's staff restaurant. Instead, they went to the Hong Kong restaurant near the company.
The minimum consumption per capita was 300 dollars. Not cheap.
After ordering five dishes, the four began chatting while waiting.
Sofia said with sympathy, "Ella, I'm not gossiping, but I think Daniel is aimed at you. You were just late for a meeting, but he threatened that he will cut all your bonus next time. He is not from the personnel department or finance department, does he really have such a right?"
Anne took a sip of water. She hesitated for a while but still said, "I tell you a secret. According to my husband's uncle who had cooperated with the Hill's group, it is said that our boss and CEO are related, so he does have such right."
Ella felt her stomach drop. Another person she couldn't afford to offend. Hearing Anne had mentioned the CEO, she immediately asked, "Do you know who the CEO of our company is? What is his name?"
Bella was surprised. "Ella, you don't even know the name of the CEO! There is the CEO's electronic signature on the labor contract on!"
"Yes, yes, although his handwriting is kind of illegible, but you can still find his name is Aiden Hill!" Sofia said, "The name is quite special. I can even sense his coldness and powerfulness just by his name!." Aiden Hill...
Ella murmured this name. She pieced together the chain of events. The girl named Camila also called the man "Aiden"...
Aiden...
The thought that he might be the CEO of Hill's Group frightened her so much that she unsettled the cup.
Ella let them all stand up at once, as she was afraid that the water might splash on their skirts.
"Sorry, waiter..."
Because there was water all over the table, they moved to another table.
As soon as they seated, Ella apologized immediately, "Sorry, I was so careless just now."
Sofia waved her hand. "What a big deal. And we all avoided it in time."
The four people chatted for a while, then the dishes began to arrive. There was little time left for them, so everyone just focused on the food.
Half an hour later, the food was almost done, and they decided to pay for it.
The waiter came and politely said, "Hello, what else do you need?"
Sofia was responsible for paying the bill first, and she took out her purse: "Waiter, could we please have the check?"
"The bill has been paid, by this lady." The waiter pointed at Ella.
The three people immediately looked at her. Bella dissatisfiedly said, "Ella, when did you pay the bill? It should be us!"
"It's okay, you can treat me next time. Let's go."
"How generous!"
"Thank you Ella!"
Seeing Ella's smiling face, the three people accepted it. They returned to the company and back to their office.
Ella went to the tea room, and Sofia just walked in.
She pulled Ella to the stairwells and whispered, "Ella, I tell you something. You know I'm working for Leo and I know something you may not. The three chief designers of the design department are also in charge of the business. She talked to the boss of a company before. It didn't go well, but she still didn't want to lose it. She has picked two beautiful female designers recently, to negotiate with the boss. Well, you are one of them. You know what I mean... Be careful." Ella's heart gave a leap, then she nodded. " Sofia, thank you for reminding me!"
Sofia smiled with ease. " Nothing. We work in the same company, and we need to help each other. If you have any tidbits, remember to share with us!" "Well, I will."
After the two returned to their seats, it was a long afternoon of hard work.
By 6 o'clock, Ella was still sitting in front of a computer screen like a fighter. Her fingers already hurt, but there were still ten pictures waiting for her to finish.
During the meeting on the morning, Daniel said that soon the company will hold a design competition, and the top three can directly participate in a new project. If the project goes well, each involved staff can get a bonus. She calculated roughly. Each designer involved in the project will get at least 100, 000 dollars!
Thinking of this, Ella was working hard again.
She finally understood why designers across the country wanted so badly to work in the Hill's Group. Not because of the high salary, but because of the bonus!
The idea of quitting her job at the beginning disappeared. For fair competition, Ella had always been confident!
She also understood that acceptance was the best choice. Since now she had been working for Hill's Group by accident, then she should work hard!
It was 7 p. m. now. During the period, Benjamin called her three times, but Ella did not answer.
She knew that his intention was letting her go home to have dinner with his mother.
Ella had been focused on work, and there are few designers in the office now.
The staff canteen closed at 9 o'clock, now it was already ten. It was now that Ella felt so hungry.
She took out her phone to order a takeout, and then continue working.
At this point, she heard a voice behind her. "I've seen the ten pictures you've done. great."
Ella instantly turned around and found Daniel was standing behind her, looking at her computer screen.
She stood up stiffly. "Daniel, are you still working?"
"Well, I need to work overtime too. Please order me a takeaway as yours. I will give you the money later." With that said, he left.
Order a takeout for Daniel?
Ella took the phone slowly. She was just ready to call, but saw an unread text message. She did not notice it since she put her phone on mute. From: Nut.
Because Aiden's text messages were special, she set the content invisible on the home screen. After unlocking her phone, she saw the text message: come up.
