Faux Vows, True Desires

Lucinda halted and flashed a professional smile, greeting Edgar, "Hey Edgar, how's it going?"

Edgar didn't smile, but his face was amicable. He gave a slight nod in response to Lucinda's greeting.

Lucinda assumed that he would walk past her, so she stepped aside.

But Edgar didn't move. Instead, he stood there, looking at Lucinda holding a pile of materials to deal with, and curiously asked, "What are you up to?"

"Jennifer said that these materials are no longer needed, so I'm assigned to dispose of them."

"Is that part of your job description?"

Lucinda was slightly taken aback. Her job title, printed on her badge, was assistant to a certain manager, but she had no clue what that manager looked like because she hadn't seen her direct superior since she started that job.

Later, she learned from others that her boss was at that time on a business trip.

So, her official duties were still unclear. She carried out whatever tasks people gave her.

"I didn't have other tasks, so I just thought I'd give Jennifer a hand."

Hearing Lucinda's answer, Edgar fell silent for a moment. In the midst of everyone's nervousness, he calmly said, "Yeah, newbies should learn more and do more. No matter the size of the task, doing it yourself would always teach you something."

Nobody started off handling big deals. Everyone started small.

Everyone's experience started from scratch.

Lucinda thought so too. She thanked Edgar, "Thanks for the advice, Edgar."

"But don't let people push you around. If anyone at Ascend Global bullies the newbies just to slack off, they'd get the boot."

Edgar's words implied that he had heard a lot.

Jennifer broke into a cold sweat, and even Linda started to get nervous after hearing his words.
