The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel 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."

Transfer an interim chief over?

Immediately, I felt a sense of unease.

After a while, a voice came from the door. "Look at the time. Why aren’t you guys off cleaning? What are you all doing around here?"

It was a familiar voice.

Hattie!

I looked up and saw Hattie walking in wearing a fancy dress and heels. She was giving off quite the aura of a leader.

She put her hands behind her back and looked down at us. "Since your old chief is injured, I’ll be the acting chief during this time and assign you your work. I hope everyone will cooperate."

"Isn't she Director Doyle's mother? She caused some trouble a while ago."

"Yes, it's her."

A few of the ladies whispered among themselves.

It seemed that Hattie had a reputation in the company.
