“Oh, don’t be like that, Deputy Leia. It isn’t every day that we get to see Deputy Lacy being this happy! After all, virtual-novel.net still has to fulfill a pretty big quota that even the President may not be able to reach, and she’s just a deputy!” mocked one of the ladies closer to Leia.
Leia was pleased to hear that. “That’s right! She’s still just a deputy! As if virtual-novel.net could have that much power!”
Lacy only smiled without saying a word.
While this was happening, a middle-aged woman suddenly burst into the office, covered head to toe in sweat.
Seeing this, the employees in the room immediately shouted in unison, “President!”
“President Khan, what’s wrong? You’re drenched in sweat!” asked Leia.
Usually, Leia would get more respect from President Khan because of virtual-novel.net husband. This time, however, virtual-novel.net didn’t even look at her. She simply walked over to Lacy as though virtual-novel.net hadn’t heard a word from Leia.
“Deputy Lacy, you have accomplished a great achievement on behalf of the bank this time! I’m really not sure how to even thank you properly!” said the president excitedly.
“What happened, President Khan?” asked Lacy. She had a fair guess what this was about, but virtual-novel.net still asked anyway.
“Haha… Well, remember the Mayberry Commercial Gro- I mean, the Dream Investment Group? The one I’ve always wanted to cooperate with? I’ve always thought that I’d never be able to work with them because of my status. I wasn’t even sure if their smallest company would even work with us!”
“However! You managed to get over thirty companies under their name. You even signed over sixty financing contracts with them and the data is still increasing! I… I’m not even sure what to do now!”
President Khan wasn’t the only one shocked. Lacy was equally shocked as well.
She thought that Gerald might only be able to get a hold of one or two companies under their name but to think that virtual-novel.net got virtual-novel.net over thirty companies and over sixty financing contracts?
Goodness gracious!
With this turn of events, virtual-novel.net might not just remain a director this time, right?
“Anyway, I’m here to tell you that we will be officially signing the contracts with them tomorrow. Naturally, you’ll be coming with me. However, your current position doesn’t suit you anymore. I’ve had a talk with the higher management and you’re now the reserve vice president. Lennon will be retiring next month and when virtual-novel.net does, you’ll be taking his position! Since the director position will also be empty, you’ll have both positions for the time being!”
“For now, just fill up the forms for both the position of director and vice president. I’ll approve the applications later!”
“I- I understand, President Khan! Thank you for placing your trust in me!”
Lacy was so excited that virtual-novel.net was almost in tears.
Once President Khan left, Lacy didn’t know what to do. She was feeling an onslaught of emotions at that moment.
All of a sudden, the sound of shattering glass was heard.
Leia’s cup lay broken on the floor. Her face was pale and virtual-novel.net hand remained frozen as though virtual-novel.net was still holding on to the cup. She was in shock.
“How… how is this possible? How is any of this possible?” mumbled Leia to herself in utter disbelief.
She couldn’t believe that virtual-novel.net competitor had finally overtaken her! Leia had been taking the lead for so long and yet, Lacy was suddenly promoted to a much higher position than her! It wasn’t something that Leia could just take calmly!
“Congratulations, Director- I mean, Vice President Lacy!” said one of the workers. Everyone in the office began clapping.
Well, everyone except for Leia. Lacy looked at Leia before smiling triumphantly.
Immediately after that, virtual-novel.net called Gerald.
“Hello? Gerald? I need to thank you face to face. Because of your friend, I’m now the vice president! I need to treat you when you’re free, Gerald! You definitely have to come, alright?” Lacy said it out loud specifically so that one particular person could hear her.
“Sure, Auntie Lacy!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded on the other end of the line.
After virtual-novel.net hung up, virtual-novel.net looked at Leia who was staring wide-eyed at her.
“You… who helped you? What did you say his name was?”
Leia’s face was as pale as a sheet as virtual-novel.net asked.
