“The person who is promoted to become the associate director shall have a salary
increment of 5,000 to 10,000 on top of his or her original basic salary, depending on this person’s
capability,” Felicia announced.
Anastasia, who had been initially uninterested with the promotion, heard that, and her stunning eyes lit
up and her interest was instantly piqued. “What are the conditions that one must fulfill in order to be
entitled for the promotion?”
“Firstly, one must have worked with the company for more than 5 years. Secondly, we will review their
design skills. Thirdly, one must possess a teamwork spirit, understand the market direction, and be able
to analyze the market needs.
The light in Anastasia’s eyes dimmed when she heard that, while Alice, who was sitting opposite her,
smiled and deliberately reminded her, “Anastasia, you merely worked with the company for two months.
You don’t fit the first condition.”
Although Anastasia was disgruntled, she said nothing. Just then, a low yet firm male voice rang out
beside her. “Anastasia will be promoted as the associate director.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Anastasia abruptly jerked her head toward him, but Elliot was seen looking at Felicia as he ordered,
“Notify the Human Resource Department about this.”
Felicia, who didn’t expect the boss to promote Anastasia with just a statement, revealed an awkward
smile. “Sure, I’ll notify the Human Resource Department about the change in her position.”
At that, Alice, who was sitting opposite them, was so mad that her face blanched, while the other
designers were astounded. Does Anastasia have such a powerful background? Could it be that the
reason President Presgrave attended the meeting today is just to promote her as the associate director
in front of all of us?
“But that’s unfair, President Presgrave! Shouldn’t other employees be given a fair chance?” Alice boldly
refuted. “It will be difficult to convince the others if you make an exception and grant her a promotion like
this.”
As soon as Alice voiced out her disapproval, the air in the meeting room instantly became heavy.
Elliot furrowed his brows, darting a sharp gaze at her. “Are you objecting to my decision?”
“N-No… I-I just think that t-this is a company, and the company should have rules and regulations…”
Alice was so frightened that she started stammering and her face flushed crimson.
Anastasia suddenly didn’t find the position of the associate director attractive anymore. It would be alright
if she earned the position with her own effort, but an exceptional promotion like this was indeed unfair to
the others, let alone when she didn’t want to owe the man any favors in the first place.
“President Presgrave, I refuse to accept the position. Please allow Felicia to pick someone more
suitable!” Anastasia chimed in reasonably.
Elliot’s cold gaze that had initially been on Alice now landed on Anastasia, but there currently was a hint
of frustration in them. Why is she concerned about all those irrelevant matters? Doesn’t she want to earn
more money?
“Let’s do it this way, then. Anastasia gains the right to compete for the position because her capability is
undeniably outstanding. Alice, Anastasia and Alexia are the suitable candidates for this position. I’ll
assign tasks to the three of you to assess your capabilities.”
