Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 70

"I'm sorry. It's just that I don't have any work experience, and they said they had experienced it themselves too, so I…" Kourtney shook her head, her eyes quickly turning red. She must have believed her team members' words.

"You're just too kind. If you encounter such things in the future, tell me right away. They're getting paid by the company, yet they dumped all their tasks on you. How is that fair?"

Kourtney nodded. I recalled the conversation between Lindsey and Mira. Both of them had different perspectives, so their opinions differed too.

When I was handling these matters, I only had one thought in my mind—I didn't want Kourtney to be bullied. It didn't matter who it was and what that person did.

As expected, the manager of the marketing department came the next day. Many people knew that I was the new general manager, but none of the executives had done anything yet. Many of them hadn't come to see me.

So, this was the first time I was meeting the manager of the marketing department. He kept his head down, and his attitude was humble.

"About yesterday, I didn't manage my team well and caused trouble for you."

When I came to work today, Lindsey reminded me that a few managers might come over today and that I should take notice of it. She also told me how to deal with them in detail. The manager of the marketing department was the first person she specifically pointed out.

"You're a manager, after all. There are more important tasks for you to handle, so it's understandable if some oversight occurred," I responded indifferently.

The manager of the marketing department initially thought I would let him off the hook with that excuse, but he was caught off guard by what I said.

"Mr. Ranford, you're right. It's my oversight. So, how do you plan to punish me?"
