The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)



Chapter 380

I walked to the fridge, turning to Suzy. "What would you like to drink?"

Suzy thought briefly and replied, "I'd like a soda. Do you have any in the fridge?"

"We do." I took out a can, opened it, and handed it to Suzy.

"Thank you." Suzy took a sip and said with satisfaction, "It's been so long since I've had a soda."

After we finished chatting, Zane asked Suzy about her recent work progress.

Suzy didn't hide anything and reported everything truthfully.

I was from the comic department and thought I shouldn't be overhearing their work matters, so I was about to leave.

But Zane pressed my hand down and said, "This progress isn't a secret. You don't need to leave. Stay here and keep me company."

After hearing that, I sat back down.

Suzy glanced at us before continuing with the topic she had left off earlier.

Once she finished, Zane said, "Once this project is done, we can give you a few days off."

Suzy didn't refuse. At her previous company, she was always assigned a new project after finishing the previous one. She hardly had any time off throughout the year.

Now, with a rare opportunity to relax, she wanted to spend some time with her daughter. Suzy agreed. "Alright."

Zane finished discussing the work matters with her and looked at me, saying, "You haven't worked in this kind of field before, so when you hear her report on her work...

"You might think she's speaking very convincingly. But you don't have an accurate understanding of her abilities.

I nodded. "That's true."

But I could tell that Suzy was indeed very capable.

Zane explained, "If the project she's handling were given to our most outstanding

employee, it would still only be at the third step by today. But she's already at the sixth step."

The example was simple, but the information behind it was vast.

For instance, Zane summarized it as steps, but to move on to the next requires a lot of cooperation and effort.

I was amazed. "She's that good?"

Suzy was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Huxham is exaggerating."

But Zane didn't think so. "It's because she's very capable. Many companies were eyeing her when she was at her previous company. She was in high demand!

"If our company hadn't kept such a close eye on her, she wouldn't have joined us."

Zane then looked at Suzy and asked, "Has the CEO of your previous company contacted you recently?"

That company's business should have been greatly affected after she left.noveldrama

Even if the new president was a fool, they should still be able to realize that the main reason for all of this was Suzy leaving.

And then, they would definitely try to find a way to get Suzy back.

"Yes," Suzy said.

She told no one about this and was curious about how Zane knew. "It was the retired CEO who contacted me and said he wanted me to come back.

"They probably think my abilities are average, and now that I've left their company, no other company would want me.

"The offer they gave me was outrageous. They said I should return with the same salary I had when I left."

Suzy only realized how unbelievably foolish her previous company was after leaving them." I told them I was working for your company, and my salary was several times what it was before.

"I told them I also get a commission percentage on top of that.

"They probably thought the benefits at Huxham Corporation were too good, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't catch up.

"They didn't even try to offer me a salary raise, just saying I didn't know how to appreciate them. They said the company invested so much manpower and resources into me, making me who I am today.

"But when I became capable, I abandoned them and went for something better."

Suzy laughed, saying, "I reminded them that I left because the company fired me. So,

there's nothing for me to feel guilty about."

Zane spoke calmly, "Even if they hadn't fired you, your abilities deserve better treatment."
