Chapter 313: Establishing Cooperation

The Montgomery Group's corporate performance was assessed quarterly, and the president personally reviewed it, basing the company's development on the performance of various departments and their staff members. For the employees, this performance report was critical due to its implications on their bonuses. Everyone had worked hard for three months, all for this reward.

However, due to the numerous departments and their differing responsibilities, the standards for performance evaluation varied greatly, as did the methods of assessment. The Montgomery Group was not a small company, and compiling the data of so many employees would normally take at least a week. Yet, she was expected to complete it in just one day?

Mrs. Lyman patted her shoulder, "Heather, I was too busy with other matters the past few days and forgot to hand it over to you. You are competent, and even the manager holds you in high regard. I believe you can do it."

"But... how can one day be enough?" Heather said, holding a thick stack of documents.

"Heather, I thought you didn't mind working overtime? Just put in some extra hours tonight and you'll have it done. I really appreciate it, and I believe you can handle this," Mrs. Lyman said with a smile before leaving.

"Mrs. Lyman, I..."

Heather stretched out her hand but failed to catch the hem of Mrs. Lyman's garment, a look of worry spreading across her face.

One day it is, she couldn't believe she wouldn't manage. The manager had said that any difficulty must be overcome, so Heather began to meticulously review the documents, unaware of the mocking smiles on the faces of some people behind her.

Aurora arrived at Luminary, a company that had been established just this year. Despite being new, its size was considerable, indicating that Luminary intended to deeply root itself in Clothville for long-term development.

Upon entering the lobby, a beautiful receptionist approached, "Are you Miss Montgomery? The president has been waiting for you for a while now. I'll take you up."

"Thank you."

Following her into the elevator, they went directly to the top floor.

The higher they went, the less crowded it became. When Aurora stepped out, she noticed the floor was almost deserted.

She stopped in front of a grand, retro-styled door, "This is it, Miss Montgomery, please come in."
