Chapter 042

Emma shook her head, “I’m not sure, but Carter looks unhappy You’d better hurry up and go over.” Lucia turned serious when she heard that She imme­diately got up and walked out of the office, going directly to the supervisor’s office

When she pushed open the door of the supervisor’s office and walked lit, Lucia saw three or four colleagues

standing in a row, all with their heads down.

Carter was sitting in her office chair. She glanced at Lucia with a sullen face and asked in a cold voice, “Are you working on the quarterly report?”

Lucia hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Yes.”

Last night. Lisa stopped her after work and asked her to do overtime for the report, but she left directly and

didnt start doing it until she arrived at the office this morning.

Carter forced back her anger, but her eyes were sharply fixed on Lucia. “I heard that the documents were handed over to you yesterday, yet you haven’t turned the report in today.”

Lucia was instantly stressed out and said, “Yes, but I...”

No buts!” Carter slapped her desk and interrupted Lucia unceremoniously. “Where did you get so many excuses? Do you know how many people are waiting to use the report? Just because you didn’t do it, the schedule of the whole team has been delayed!”

Carter was usually quite forgiving about almost everything, but she was abso­lutely strict and meticulous about work

Lucia lowered her head and couldn’t say a word. It was true that she had been given the task yesterday, but it was already the end of the day when Lisa told her. Even if she had started to do it then, it would have been too late to organize and file some of the documents and then do the report. Carter said in an angry voice, “Let me remind you, don’t make excuses at any time! Not doing a good job is your own problem, understand?” Those colleagues standing in a row responded, and only then did the angry look on Carter’s face ease up a bit. She turned to Lucia and instructed in a deep voice, “Now that you are an administrative assistant, Lucia, whatever you do must be thoughtful. With an attitude like yours, our Administration Department will be in trouble! Don’t get proud just because of a small achievement, understand?”

Carter was saying that in front of all those colleagues in the room. Lucia found it quite embarrassing,

She bit her lip and nodded. “Yes, Carter, I will keep it in mind.”

As she spoke, she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Lisa standing next to Carter with a look of pleasure and triumph. Instantly, she got to know what was going on. No wonder Lisa had given Lucia the documents after work yesterday. It turned out that she had done it on purpose so that Lucia would fail to hand in the report and delay the schedule of the team.

Lucia took a hard look at Lisa and slowly suppressed her anger.

Carter glanced at her and instructed, “Go back to your work and finish the quarterly report as soon as possible”Okay.”
