Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 67

When I interrupted Kourtney, she raised her head and looked at me with teary eyes. Mira could no longer stand it and said, "Actually, a lot of companies have these kinds of unspoken rules where new interns are ordered around by others. When I interned at another company in the past, it was the same…"

Lindsey nodded. "This has indeed become an unspoken rule in the industry."

Everyone would treat interns like errand runners. At the mention of that, who had never experienced such things during their internships? If others could overcome it, why couldn't someone else handle it?

My expression darkened. "This isn't a rule set by the company. It shouldn't exist."

Kourtney had never mentioned her work to me before. Whenever I asked her about it, she would say that everything was going great.

However, after seeing what happened today, I realized that Kourtney might not be having as good of a time working at the company as I had expected.

I looked at her. "The company won't fire you just because you won't run errands for them. You just need to finish your tasks. You don't need to care about other matters."

Kourtney nodded. "I-I got it. Thank you."

Her voice was soft, but I could tell that she was still sad. With a sigh, I said, "Go ahead and eat. If you don't, your food will really turn cold."

After lunch, Kourtney returned to her team. On the other hand, Mira, Lindsey, and I returned to my office. I was still thinking about this issue.

"Wherever there are people, there will be fights and schemes. This can't be avoided." Lindsey seemed to have sensed what I was thinking and comforted me.

"But that doesn't make it right."

Lindsey glanced at me and smiled. "You're right. It isn't a good thing."

"But how can we solve this? Like today, although it might seem that you've helped her, she'll still have to be confronted with her team leader's orders when she returns to work. No one can change that. You can't keep watch over them forever."
