Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 280 Jealousy

Lacey had just walked in and saw the scene unfolding. She was about to say something when Richard casually said, "Since you studied marketing, you should join the marketing department and start from the basics."

Lacey had planned to give Sophie a good position, but she didn't expect Richard to make her start as a junior employee in the marketing department.

For Sophie, though, the fact that he didn't send her back to the Empire Artistry Group was already a sign of leniency.

After Richard left, they were taken to their respective positions.

Lacey personally led Sophie to the marketing department.

"Sophie, I didn't know Richard would make such an arrangement. If I had known..." Lacey started to explain.

"It's okay, Lacey," Sophie gently interrupted with an understanding smile.

"Richard's arrangement is very reasonable. I have no objections. I've done many jobs before. I've washed dishes, cleaned, handed out flyers, and sold small toys. I never thought I would one day enter big companies like the Empire Artistry Group and Skyline International Corporation. Emily took care of me and nurtured me, and I am truly grateful. For me now, I do need the experience, and I will work hard to do this job well," Sophie continued.

Lacey looked at her with admiration, thinking that Sophie, though seemingly fragile, was actually very strong and brave.

Since they were now in the same company, they would naturally see each other often. Sophie was diligent, sensible, and polite. After joining the marketing department, she helped her seniors with their tasks without complaint, making her very likable.

And the single male colleagues took the opportunity to get close to her under the guise of helping her get familiar with the job.

"Sophie, can I treat you to dinner tonight?" Roger Dunn, her colleague, asked, knocking on her desk.

Since she joined Skyline International Corporation, Roger had interacted with her the most and helped her the most.

Sophie felt embarrassed and said, "It should be me treating you."

But the planned dinner didn't happen because a sudden order came down for

everyone to work overtime that night to prepare a marketing plan.

Although they didn't get to have dinner, Roger made a surprising move the next day.

He brought a bouquet of roses to the office and confessed to Sophie.

Sophie knew Roger had a bold personality, but she didn't expect him to confess his feelings to her within a week of knowing her.

Colleagues clapped and cheered.

"Say yes! Say yes!"

Sophie couldn't bring herself to agree, but with everyone watching and Roger kneeling in front of her, she didn't want to embarrass him either.

She was at a loss, but suddenly, the room went silent, and everyone quietly returned to their workstations.

When the crowd dispersed, Sophie saw Richard standing not far away, looking stern. Roger awkwardly put away the flowers and went back to his desk.

Sophie slowly sat down, trying to stay calm, and pretended to look through some documents.

The once noisy marketing department was now dead silent.
