Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Dylan turned to Garwood.

"I've called one of JK's big clients in England," Garwood reported quickly, "he showed great respect to you and agreed to do us a favor. He would ask Mr. Wills to go to England in-person to solve a program error, and Mr. Wills is supposed to stay there for at least two weeks."

Dylan nodded in satisfaction, and his face relaxed.

He finally sent Kevin away.

At least these days, he couldn't get involved in that little woman's life.

It was Savannah's first day on the job in the design department at Zagreb Film. However, Tony, her direct superior, showed no kindness to her at all. If it were not for Director Thomson, maybe Tony would not have agreed to hire her in the interview. Now even if she had been employed, Tony never asked her to do any design related work but only arranged small and unimportant tasks for her.

After three days in the design department, Savannah felt that she was not a designer assistant but a go for.

Although she was not tired, her work now was contrary to what she wanted.

She applied for the job to gain some design experience, not to laze away.

But she was only a newcomer, and she couldn't say anything.

This morning, Savannah was typing papers idly when Tony's secretary, Sunny, asked all members of the department to have a meeting.

The company was going to shoot a new web series, and the design department was responsible for the costume. Now they should decide on the clothes for leading roles in advance.

Savannah was very excited about this opportunity. She could learn a lot by participating in the costume design of this online drama. Picking up her notebook, she stood up and went to the meeting room.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Tony frowned and stopped Savannah at the door.

"Can I join this project?" Savannah plucked up her courage and asked.

Tony crossed his arms and snorted, "have you finished your other work?"

Her work? Did he mean typing, copying, serving tea and water? Savannah tried to be polite, "director, I applied for a job as a design assistant, not a receptionist or clerk.".

"Are you still picky? Do you expect me to give you the most important things when you're new here? Everyone starts from little things!" Tony raised his voice, which made other colleagues of the design department look at them.

It was all a deliberate distortion of her meaning! Savannah's anger almost suffocated her, but she could not go against her boss in front of so many colleagues.

"I didn't mean it," Savannah was able to hold back her anger, "I just want to do my own work as a designer. Since all the designers and designer assistants can participate in the new project, why can't I? Isn't it a little unfair?"

Being heckled by Savannah, Tony looked slightly awkward. He gritted his teeth, "I'm your boss. I think you're too new to join the new project or any design-related work. If you don't agree, complain about me or quit, and I won't stop you!"

Even if she was hired through the back door, she was still his subordinate! As long as she worked in his department, she had to follow his orders!

What's more, Tony didn't think this girl had a strong backing, otherwise, her backing would have asked him to take care of her in advance.

With a sneer, Tony came into the meeting room with a group of designers.

Savannah bit her lips. Obviously, only she was unacceptable. There were several designer assistants the same new as her. Why could they participate in the project? Tony disliked her, so he shut her out deliberately.

"Savannah, are you okay?" A young woman asked anxiously.

Savannah turned and saw Fiona, from the planning department next door, standing behind her.

Fiona entered Zagreb Film a few months earlier than her. On Savannah's first day at work, she met Fiona at lunch break in the staff restaurant. Maybe because of their similar age and interests, and they were all new, they got familiar with each other soon.

Fiona just came over to the design department to send documents. When she passed by and happened to see this scene, she hurriedly came over to Savannah.

"Nothing." Savannah shook her head.

Fiona glanced at the closed door of the meeting room and whispered consolingly, "don't haggle with Tony. He's a stingy man and acts like a snob."

"I didn't haggle with him. I just feel pity that I can't join the project I like."

"Ah, yes. you are a designer assistant, but he only asked you to do chores. Isn't he forcing you to resign? Why don't you complain to the superiors?" Fiona was also angry for Savannah.

Complaint? To whom? Tony was her immediate supervisor. Who else did she know?

Although she didn't have much work experience, she knew that it was impossible for leaders of other departments to interfere with the complaints in the design department. Complaint to Tony's boss? Who cares for a new employee?

What's more, offending Tony would only make her life more difficult.

Forget it. Maybe Tony would change his mind and give her a chance one day.

Not far away, at the entrance of the design department, Garwood was standing behind the wall. Today, he came to Zagreb Film with Dylan and especially came to see how Miss Schultz was doing in the design department.

He heard the conversation, pondering for a while. Then he turned and got on the elevator to the top floor.

The office room on the top floor was large and sumptuous. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a huge modern mahogany desk that six people could comfortably sit around. It matched the coffee table by the couch. On the walls, there were paintings. A shimmering chandelier was hanging from the ceiling.

Compared to those offices bustled with people and activity downstairs, it was quiet and placid here.

This was Dylan's exclusive office at Zagreb Film.

Owned by the Sterling group, Zagreb Film was managed well by its general manager. Dylan, its largest shareholder, didn't usually come, so his office was a little cheerless and empty.
