Chapter 21
Emily could scold Pearl, but if it involved the Waldorfs… When she thought of the Waldorfs‘ power, she shuddered in fear.
Pearl did not want to dwell on the past with this old classmate, so she lowered her gaze. “I’m glad you understand. Now, you’re disturbing my work, Miss Emily ”
This statement was the final blow for Emily. Her face turned livid as she gaped, but she could not refute Pearl. She straightened up and said fiercely, “Why you… You may be engaged to the Waldorfs and are under their protection, but you’ll still be fired sooner or later if you prove useless since this is a place of work.”
Pearl remained unconcerned. She smiled. “We’ll see about that.”
Emily glared at Pearl before she stomped away angrily, thinking of ways to vent her anger.
At eleven o’clock in the morning, Pearl emailed her proposal to Emily an hour in advance. Emily quickly rejected it without any comments. There was only a vague order attached.
[Redo it.]
As expected, Emily always found ways to make things difficult for Pearl
Pearl was confident in her proposal, so she emailed it to Emily again without any modifications. And as expected, Emily refused it again. Pearl could not be bothered to discuss this with Emily, so she immediately went to the president’s office with the proposal.
Richard was working. When he saw Pearl come in, he asked indifferently, “What is it?”

He read it through briefly, and his eyes gradually lit up. Pearl’s idea was unconventional and unexpected, making full use of many skills to achieve success. It just so happened that he had the same views as her in some aspects.
When he was done, he looked up and asked, “Is this the task Emily assigned to you?
“Mm–hm.” Pearl nodded and smiled.
Richard told his secretary to call Emily to his office. When Emily saw Pearl there, she glared at the latter before asking cautiously, “What can I do for you, Mister Richard?”
Richard asked coldly, “You gave this task to a new employee?”
Emily trembled “Mister Richard, I…..”
“This is the most important proposal of this season, and you gave it to a new employee. You’re just mishandling your subordinates… How dare you, Emily!”
Richard was not quick to anger, but today, Emily trembled in fear when she heard the chill in his voice.
“Deduct two months‘ salary from her pay.”
Emily became furious but did not dare to express it. She cursed Pearl in her heart and yearned to slap the latter.
After Emily left, Richard looked toward Pearl.
“You differentiate between reward and punishment well, Mister Richard.”
Pearl was not fully satisfied with this result but at least she managed to teach Emily a lesson.
Richard looked at her grinning face while his thoughts ran a mile an hour. As expected, she had not let him down. She was full
