Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter) >>
She thought Madison was very brave!
She quickly dispelled her drifting thoughts and snapped back into reality.
Madison saw her pleading gaze tinged with threats.
She said, “Which part of my proposal are you not satisfied with, Mr. Williams?”
Hunter narrowed his eyes and said, “You made this?”
Hunter knew she had only been working for two days.
Normally, the team leader wouldn’t even let a new employee take part in such an important job.
This proposal was linked to the quarterly evaluation and year-end bonus.
It was apparent that the team leader wanted Madison to take the fall.
Madison was not stupid. She said, “Yes, I took part in it.”
Sophia was not satisfied with Madison’s words.
If she only took part in the planning of the proposal, she wouldn’t be able to take full responsibility for it.
“Which did you take part in?” Hunter asked.
In Sophia’s expectant gaze, Madison pointed at the proposal and said earnestly, “I printed the whole thing out with my own hands.”
Sophia was at a loss for words.
Hunter held back his smile.
He was the only one who knew her obedience was just a farce. He knew she was a fighter at heart.
He had lost count of how many times his head was hit by the things she had thrown at him.
Sophia hissed through gritted teeth, “Madison, why are you joking in front of Mr. Williams? Why are you talking about printing?
“Aren’t you the one who suggested this proposal? Please understand, Mr. Williams. She’s still learning the ropes.”
Madison thought about the team meeting yesterday. She was new and had unknown origins.
Sophia feared that she might be a spy from another team. She didn’t even allow Madison to sit in the meeting.
Madison didn’t mind. She wasn’t here to work anyway.
But she was displeased that Sophia tried to pin all the blame on her. She was angry that anyone thought they could just bully her.
Madison didn’t even need to speak. Hunter tapped the table with the fingers of his right hand. His gaze fell on Sophia nonchalantly.
“Are you telling me that your team’s proposal was made by a new employee who just started?”
“That’s right, Mr. Williams.” Sophia had stood up. Her back was slightly bowed. She had a subservient expression on her face.
“If that’s the case, she should be the team leader instead.”
Sophia’s expression changed immediately. “Mr. Williams, that… that isn’t a great idea. She is a new employee.
“She has no achievements on her record. She was formerly a medical student and has no experience in sales…”
Hunter slammed his palm on the table and stood up. “So you do know she’s just a new employee. Yet you tell me that a proposal for a project worth millions was made by her.
“Are you mocking my company? Are you telling me that none of the veterans are better than her? What nonsense are you sprouting?”
Sophia was shaking in fright. She kept stuttering, “Mr. Williams, I-I…”
“Do it again. If I see such trash from you again, take the entire team and get out of my company.”
“Yes… yes, Mr. Williams.” Sophia quickly picked up the proposal.
Madison left the office with Sophia without looking back. She wondered why Hunter pulled such a stunt.
Once they were back at the Team C office, Sophia said with a cloudy expression, “Come with me to my office now, Madison.”
“Okay.”
Sophia shut the office door with a loud slam.
As soon as Sophia entered the office, she threw the proposal at Madison.
“Go and submit your resignation to the HR department now! There’s no place for a person like you in my team.”
Madison gave her an icy smile and said, “How bossy of you, Ms. Linden. I did not make any mistakes. On what grounds are you firing me?”
Sophia vented all the frustration she suffered from Hunter on Madison.
Her face was twisted in anger. She no longer wanted to keep up the facade.
“On what grounds? The fact that we don’t need an idiot like you in the workplace.”
“I’m an idiot because I don’t want to take the fall? Even if I did, would Mr. Williams believe it? Or do you think he’s as dumb as you are?”
Sophia slammed her hand on the table and yelled, “Madison Evans!”
“That’s me. But if there’s nothing else, I’ll be excusing myself, Ms. Linden. Also, I am a contracted employee.
“If you want to fire me, you should acquire the company first.”
Madison left the office without looking back. She even went to the pantry, got a glass of warm water, and swallowed some stomach medicine.
She didn’t care about the gaze of others, nor did she care about their biting remarks.
Everyone understood for a fact that the failure of the proposal had nothing to do with her.”
But her noncompliance had angered Sophia. Even if she stayed, Sophia would make her life hell.
Still, these cunning veterans would never risk offending the team leader for a new employee like Madison.
They began to isolate her. They wanted to force her to quit.
Even if she didn’t quit today, she would still be fired when the results of the quarterly evaluation were out.
No one felt the need to befriend a person that was soon to be gone. Naturally, they treated her with disdain.
“Damn, I didn’t think you had that in you, Madison. You acted so prim and proper.
“I thought you were docile. But you dared to stand up to Ms. Linden.”
“She was assigned to our department out of nowhere. She must have someone backing her. Naturally, she’s bolder with her words.”
Madison turned slowly to look at Norma. “Ms. Talbot, since you know I have a backer, why are you still barking so loudly? Aren’t you afraid that my backer will hear you?”
Her words caused the entire office to fall silent.
What did she say? Was she here to restructure the workplace?
Norma was in shock. She didn’t expect it to play out like that. Who would flat-out admit that they had a backer?
She recovered from her daze, and her face flushed in anger. “What did you say?”
“I said your barking is too loud. It hurts my ears. Don’t do it next time.”
Madison patted Norma on the shoulder and went back to her desk. She took a look at the time and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll be going home now. Everyone, work hard and come up with more proposals. Good job.”
Madison knew they didn’t want her to help in the planning anyway. So she didn’t bother to trouble herself.
Her colleagues were all shocked. They had wanted to isolate her. But it seemed like she didn’t care. She even looked happy.
Sophia kicked on a trashcan. She called out to Madison through gritted teeth, “Madison Evans, did I say you could leave?”
Madison lowered her head to look at her watch and said, “It’s time to go home.”
“Why is everyone still working then?”
“They’re doing overtime.”
“And why aren’t you doing the same?”
Madison shrugged and said, “Because I don’t want to.”
She patted Sophia on her shoulder and said, “Try your best, Ms. Linden. So that you can deliver a proposal that Mr. Williams is satisfied with by tomorrow.”
Sophia’s face grew red with anger. Her breathing became labored from the intense emotions.
She had to pat herself on the chest to calm herself.
“Are you okay, Ms. Linden?”
“I’m fine!” Sophia slammed the door and said, “Go to the conference room.”
Madison hummed happily when she recalled Sophia’s constipated expression.
Even the heavy rain didn’t dampen her mood. She had already asked Everly to pick her up.
Everly should be here any moment.
Madison raised her head and met Hunter’s eyes. He was sitting in his black luxury car.
It was apparent that he was waiting for her.
Madison nodded her head toward him as a greeting.
Kelvin turned to look at Hunter and said, “Mrs. Williams doesn’t seem to be getting on, Mr. Williams.”
