Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 742:

Allan shot to his feet and was already walking to the door before Brenda could even say anything.

Her brows furrowed in disappointment. She called out to his departing figure, “Good night.”

The very next morning, Rachel was called into Brenda’s office.

Brenda didn’t say anything at first and quietly looked Rachel up and down, as if trying to figure her out.

After a short pause, she finally spoke. “You do have a certain charm, but in this place, looks don’t mean much. What really matters is what you can do.”

Rachel gave a small nod, keeping her tone steady. “I completely agree. I believe in that too. Since I’ve accepted this job, I’ll make sure I prove that I deserve it.”

Brenda let out a short chuckle, her tone a little less sharp. “Oh really? In that case, let’s see what you’ve got. Show me just how capable you are.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not just about appearances, and I have no interest in being here just to look good.”

“Great. Then tell me, how’s the project coming along? When will Mr. Clifford be able to review the collaboration plan?”

Brenda’s fingers drummed against the desk as she spoke, her voice full of authority. “I’ll give you three days at most. If you can’t get it done in time—”

But before she could finish, Rachel cut in, unfazed, “I don’t need three days.”

Brenda let out a dry chuckle, her smirk a mix of amusement and mockery. “I knew it. You’re backing out already, aren’t you?”

Rachel shook her head slightly, keeping her voice calm. “I think you misunderstood. I’m not backing out at all. What I meant was… I’ve already finished everything. It’ll be ready tonight.”

Brenda blinked, clearly caught off guard. “Wait, are you serious?”

“Yes. The proposal is already done and sitting on my desk. If you want, I can bring it over right now.”

“Alright then, let me take a look.”noveldrama

A couple of minutes later, Rachel walked back with the proposal in hand. She set it down on the desk in front of Brenda. “Here you go. Take your time going through it. Let me know if you have any feedback,” she said, keeping her demeanor poised yet professional.

Brenda still had that slightly condescending air about her, but Rachel didn’t let it bother her.

After all, she had landed this position thanks to Allan’s recommendation, so she understood why Brenda wanted to test her skills.

Besides, Brenda wasn’t just anyone. She was well-known for her expertise, especially in design. Rachel had to admit, she respected that.

If this was just about work, Rachel had no problem working under someone like Brenda. But if Brenda was planning to make things difficult for no reason, Rachel wasn’t the type to just sit back and take it anymore. She wasn’t about to let anyone walk all over her. If she had to stand up for herself, she would.
