CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 186: SHE REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT

After a good night’s sleep, Serena Sullivan felt refreshed when she got up in the morning, as Ethan Grant drove her to The Sullivan Corporation.

Yesterday, Joel Quinn arranged for her to join the design department of The Sullivan Corporation.

Design is her specialty, and she is also the deputy manager of the design department.

Serena doesn’t care about the rank of the position.

Even if she were given the vice president position of The Sullivan Corporation, it wouldn’t necessarily shake Joel Quinn’s standing there.

Over the years, with Claire Sullivan’s support, Joel Quinn has firmly held the reins of power at The Sullivan Corporation. Even if Claire or the old master returned, they wouldn’t be able to move him easily.

Inviting a wolf into the house only results in the wolf tearing them apart and devouring them completely.

Fortunately, Joel Quinn doesn’t hold many shares.

The design department of The Sullivan Corporation is certainly not up to the standard of The Grant Corporation.

Both in terms of numbers and quality, they are inferior to the designers at The Grant Corporation. Externally, the designers that The Sullivan Corporation can present are Zoe Quinn and then Ruth Hale, as a consultant.

Zoe Quinn received the gold medal at "The Brilliance Competition" before she graduated. She has been a figurehead at The Sullivan Corporation for years, and her output was sparse until this year.

She had seen a recent series by Zoe Quinn; the color palette was vibrant and surprisingly attractive.

She had been thinking, Zoe Quinn has made significant progress over these four years.

Hearing the conversation between Ruth Hale and a girl in a black suit from the office while in the corridor, she understood.

"Good morning."

As Serena was thinking about the girl in the black suit, the girl, holding files, bumped into her face-to-face.

"Good morning." Serena looked up and smiled at her.

Yesterday, the girl didn’t testify for Ruth Hale, suggesting that Ruth Hale had often bullied and used her.

"Your design drafts are quite impressive." Serena continued.

"Hmm?"

The girl hesitated, looking confusedly at Serena.

"Yesterday, what Ruth Hale dropped."

"That’s not mine."

The girl shook her head continuously, lowering her head, not daring to meet Serena’s gaze.

Serena’s handling of Ruth Hale yesterday was still vivid in her memory. She knew that although the grand lady before her sat in a wheelchair and appeared worthless, she was very intelligent.

"Is that so?"

Serena chuckled softly, "Then it’s Zoe Quinn’s work."

"Yes!"

The girl, still bowing her head, responded again.

"Miss Sullivan, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."

As she spoke, she moved past Serena, and Serena’s voice resonated, "I know Zoe Quinn’s style very well, and her skills aren’t at that level."

Upon hearing this, the girl halted her steps. She turned her head and saw Serena wheeling herself into the office. Pondering upon those words, she tightly clutched the files in front of her chest, eyes heavy, staring ahead with resentment; truly resentful!

On the surface, the design department at The Sullivan Corporation treated Serena with courtesy, but ultimately, it was Joel Quinn and Ruth Hale’s domain. At work, they still tried to make things difficult for Serena.

Regardless of what others say, as long as it isn’t excessive, Serena faces it with a smile.

In this way, unable to gain any advantage, they are left vexed and helpless.

Ruth Hale arrived in the afternoon at The Sullivan Corporation. Before she even reached the design department, from her seat in the office, Serena overheard her interacting with others.

"Ms. Hale, your skin looks great today, you look gorgeous!"

No woman dislikes compliments about her beauty, not even the pretentious Ruth Hale.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Ruth Hale’s voice approach, Serena looked up just in time to see her triumphant expression. Then, she heard another colleague ask, "Ms. Hale, is this your boyfriend?"
