Chapter 157
In fact, Kimberly had more than enough ability. She could sort all the documents easily because she had the experience. However, these people didn't know that. They didn't know that she could easily keep up with Maddox when she had worked with him.
They judged her by her looks. They thought that Kimberly was a woman who had gotten that position just by sleeping with the president.
They even thought that the president demoted her because he was sick of her now.
That was why the supervisor had instructed Kimberly to do all the work by herself, to make her struggle. Everyone else was happy to see that. They were hoping that if Kimberly made a fool of herself, they would be able to complain to Young Master Yardley about her in hopes that Kimberly would be kicked out of the company.
As time passed by, from the moment she accepted her task until now, Kimberly ignored everyone else in the office and focused on her work.
When the crowd saw how calm she was, they all started to insult her again.
"Look at her putting on an act! Does she really think that she can handle all the documents within an hour?" Someone said sarcastically.
"Tsk. Those documents are necessary for the meeting later. She will be begging for mercy if something goes wrong later!"
"Why isn't she moving at all? Does she really think that she can handle it?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"There's only ten minutes left. Hey, Newbie... It's still not too late for you to beg for mercy!" Another person yelled.
Kimberly simply ignored them. However, she had been sitting at her desk for a long time and had to go to the bathroom. She glanced at the computer screen and sorted out her remaining work in the last five minutes.
After that, Kimberly hurried to the bathroom when she saw that she still had time.
As soon as she left, the group of people gathered at her desk.
"They're all sorted out!" Lydia Canning, one of the colleagues, exclaimed as she examined Kimberly's work.
"How is this possible?" Her friend, Agnes Gavlin's eyes widened and as she looked at what Kimberly had completed and gasped, "I thought she was useless? How can she sort them out so quickly? It hasn't even been an hour!"
Lydia bit her lip and said, "But, Agnes, these documents clearly have been sorted out. What should we do? We can't let her show herself off on her first day!"
"No way!" Agnes sneered, "Sister Winna has ordered us to teach her a lesson. I won't let her off easily."
"Then, what are we going to do?" Lydia asked in a hushed voice. Agnes smirked wickedly.
After going to the bathroom, Kimberly returned to her seat with a pale face.
Although she took the medicine on time every day, her stomach was still uncomfortable sometimes. Perhaps it had something to do with her mood. She had to adjust her mentality for the sake of the child.
Kimberly was about to print out the documents, but she noticed that the computer screen was dark.
Instantly, her expression changed drastically. She clicked the mouse a few times, but the screen was still off.
The computer had been switched off.
Kimberly pressed the power button. After waiting anxiously for about a minute, the computer was finally on again. She quickly clicked on the previous pages and realized that all the information she had organized had been deleted.
"Haha!" She heard a burst of cackling laughter from beside her. Kimberly turned around and saw Lydia and Agnes laughing at her in relish. Seeing that Kimberly was looking at them, the two of them glared at her arrogantly as though they wanted her to know what they had done.
Kimberly frowned and stood up quickly. She asked, "Did you switch off my computer?"
Hearing this, Agnes stood up and met Kimberly's gaze with her arms crossed. She said arrogantly, "Can you prove that we switched off the computer? It has been a long time since anyone touched that computer at your desk. It always had its problems. Why are you blaming others when you didn't save your work?"
"I saved it but you deleted it," Kimberly replied coldly.
"Haha, how can you prove that? You might have lost the file when the computer broke down. How can you blame us? You can't blame us because you can't finish the work," Agnes sneered.
Lydia also stood up and said sarcastically, "That's right. I can see why you were demoted. You blame other people when you yourself can't handle your work. Did you do that every time? You'll be kicked out of Yardley Corporation sooner or later. Why don't you go and work as a cleaner instead? Don't waste the resources in our department, don't you know that the computer consumes electricity?"
Agnes was pleased with Lydia's words. They looked at each other happily, then Agnes spread out her hand and added, "It's almost time. Let's see what you can do when the supervisor comes. If you can't do it well, get out of our department quickly."
Kimberly sucked a deep breath to calm herself down. Before she could say anything, the supervisor had already come over.
"What's wrong? Why are you all standing here?" The supervisor asked disapprovingly.
"Lincoln, she hasn't finished the work you gave her, but she didn't report it to you in advance. Lincoln, they're the documents you need for the meeting with the president later," Lydia quickly jumped forward and reported.
Agnes also said with a delicate and pitiful look, "Lincoln, let's forgive her. She's new here. After all, this kind of information can't be sorted out by one person. She has been demoted, it naturally means that she doesn't have the capability to do all this work. Let's let it slide this time."
The supervisor glared at Kimberly and said angrily, "Are you going to cause me trouble on the first day?"
Kimberly stood still and said nothing. There was no point for her to explain anything since her supervisor was pressuring her when she had arrived recently.
"Fine, you are coming with me. You'd better take responsibility and explain yourself at the meeting. I will not help you!" After saying that, the supervisor reached out and was about to grab Kimberly's arm.
But Kimberly took a step back to avoid the man's touch, and then she said indifferently, "I can go by myself."
The supervisor withdrew his hand and said impatiently, "Alright, come with me right away."
Kimberly walked back to her desk with a blank expression on her face and picked up her backpack. Then, she removed a USB from the computer's CPU and took it with her before she left with the supervisor.
After they left, Lydia and Agnes spoke.
"Why did she bring the bag with her? And it also looked like she took something from the computer."
"I don't know. Anyway, we deleted all the information. Who cares what she takes with her?"
