The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1970



I was given light work for the past two days in Grant Corporation by the cleaning department until this day.

I saw that the ladies were all gathered around when I first arrived. I did not know what they were discussing, but when I got closer, I heard one of them say, "The chief accidentally fell when she was picking up her grandson yesterday. She hurt her foot and is expected to recuperate at home for a while before she can come back to work."

"Falling at this age is no trivial matter. It's a must that she gets some good rest. But we don't have a leader now."

"Director Doyle said someone will be transferred over to serve as interim chief to assign work. I don't know who it is."
