"Get back to work.
As for you, Lindsey, you're coming with me.
" Jayleen opened the door to Lynne's office and briskly walked in.
The sudden promotion had sent Lindsey into a shocked daze, but she quickly cback to her senses and hurriedly followed Jayleen inside.
Jayleen stood in front of the French window wordlessly for a while.

The higher-ups think highly of you, which is why we're giving you an unconventional promotion, but—” After a deliberate pause, Jayleen locked eyes with Lindsey and said, "You'll be under probation for three months.
If you can do this job well, you'll be officially able to keep the position.
If not, the company will demote you and have someone else fill in for Lynne.
Understand?" Lindsey nodded slowly.
"Yes.
"Good.
"Jayleen stood up, walked to Lindsey, and patted her on the shoulder.
"You're the first employee to ever get promoted so soon.
I look forward to your performance.

On her way out, the elevator she caught happened to be quite crowded so she retreated to one corner so as to let the others in.
Just as the elevator doors slid to a close, the voices of two employees in the front reached Lindsey's ears.
"Did you hear that? Snew assistant agent in the Agent Om Department got promoted to executive agent. "Bah! She probably hooked up with Mr.
Howard to get that promotion.
I mean, how else could she have gotten promoted so quickly?" "I've been wondering why Lynne resigned from out of the blue.
Turns out she was forced to give up her position!" "Those who get in by the back door are so despicable!" Finally, the elevator doors slid open and the two gossips left.
Lindsey clenched her fists angrily.
That night at the party, Emihad seemed quite keen to praise her, and he had even gone out of his way to introduce her to those big shots.
Was her performance that night too eye-catching that he had suddenly taken an interest in her?
