Laura also felt puzzled.The owner held the microphone in his hand and asked, "Are there any questions? Please raise your hand."Laura raised her hand, but the owner glanced at her and then ignored her. He then picked someone else.Laura waited patiently, but the owner kept on ignoring her."Are there any more questions? If not, we'll proceed to the next stage."Laura still had her hand held up high and she even exchanged glances with the owner, but he still ignored her.She then stood up and said, "Sir, I have a question."The room was relatively quiet. As soon as Laura spoke, everyone looked at her.The owner, who was standing at the front frowned. He then held the microphone and said, "We'll talk about your question later on. We're about to proceed to the next stage. Let's not waste time."If Laura had been unsure earlier on, then she was now 100% sure. The owner was deliberately making things difficult for her.Shannon stood up as well. "Sir, what's the meaning of this? Y
"That's right. Who she is has nothing to do with us. We're just ordinary employees. However, the two girls who stood up to Bruce were quite good-looking."The employees continued to discuss amongst themselves.Nicole turned and looked at Laura. She then said, "During this annual summary meeting, I'm going to mobilize some staff. Rewards and punishments should be equal. Only then can we motivate everyone to do their best."As soon as Nicole said that, everyone in the room quietened down."For the employees of the top 10 stores mentioned, we'll reward them with 1,000 dollars each.""What? 1,000 dollars? The reward was only 400 dollars in the past.""Miss Wayne is so generous. She's actually rewarding people with 1,000 dollars each. I'm so jealous. Our store missed the top 10 by an inch.""Well, looks like we'll have to work hard next year. That's 1,000 dollars each we're talking about here.""Miss Wayne's so generous. I like her!"Listening to the compliments, a satisfied smile
"Laura."As soon as Laura and Shannon walked out of the meeting room, a cold breeze blew past. Shannon was still very angry."I'm no longer the manager of the store. There's no need to follow me around." Laura smiled.There was a short pause and then Shannon wrapped her arms around Laura's. "I don't care if you're the manager of the store or not. You'll always be my dearest friend."Laura had always treated Shannon really well. Deep down, Shannon had begun to treat Laura like her sister a long time ago.Laura nodded and said, "Thank you, Shannon."She knew what situation she was in as soon as she saw Nicole. But what she didn't expect was that Shannon would also quit her job on the spot as well."Laura, you don't need to thank me. I'm single with no children or mortgages, so I have no financial pressure. It doesn't matter if I quit this job. Besides, I find that Nicole girl disgusting. I'll feel very uncomfortable if she's my superior. She can post a fake list today, who knows i
After arriving back in Empfield, Laura and Shannon went straight to the convenience store.They had resigned, but they still had personal belongings at the convenience store, so they would need to take the personal belongings with them.Chris what they were doing when he walked out of the Jacobs Group."What's going on?" Chris frowned.Harry was leaning against the car door. When he saw Chris, he walked over. "Chris."He then told Chris what happened in Brosland.After Chris found out what happened, his face darkened."Chris, we can't just sit back and do nothing."'Looks like Nicole doesn't know the power of the Jacobs family,' thought Chris."I know," said Chris.When Laura and Shannon finished packing their belongings, they walked out of the convenience store.After all, they had been working there for quite a long time, so they were a little unwilling to leave.Laura took one last look at the store before locking the door.Chris walked over, took the things from Laura
"If you are considering this option then I can help you get the lowest rent possible. It'll probably be lower than the market price. However, because the store that you used to work at is still open, there's going to be quite a lot of competition if you plan to open the store next to the Jacobs Group as well." Chris analyzed the situation for Laura. "It'll depend on your marketing skills when the store is opened."Laura knew what Chris was talking about. She bit her lip and said, "Okay. I want to give it a go."She knew by doing so, she owed Chris even more."What's wrong?" asked Chris as he felt the change in Laura's mood.Laura shook her head. "Nothing. It's just that I owe you quite a lot."If it weren't for the fact that Chris was working at the Jacobs Group, how would she be able to rent a store at a price lower than the market price at such a good location?"What are you thinking about?" Chris reached out and rubbed Laura's head. "We're husband and wife. We're married. You
After an agreement was reached, Laura began the renovations and ordering the first batch of goods.Her alone would definitely not be enough for the grand opening.Therefore, Laura decided to tell Shannon about her plan to open her own store. She also asked Shannon if she was willing to come and work for her. She would also give Shannon a wage higher than that of her previous job. There would also be an annual bonus at the end of the year as well.Shannon immediately agreed after hearing Laura's words. "Sure!"Shannon had been thinking about the fact that she wouldn't be able to work with Laura anymore, so they might not see each other as much. She didn't expect the two of them to be able to work together again so soon.They were also doing the same jobs as well.The only difference was that Laura was the boss, but Shannon was quite happy with that.The preparations took about a week. The goods had arrived at the store and the renovation was complete.On the day of the grand ope
However, the person in front of Mike seemed to be dissatisfied with Laura. This caused Mike to sneer.He placed the things he was about to buy to where he got them. "I don't want these anymore."He then turned and left the store.Mike's actions caused the smile on the new store manager's face to freeze.After leaving the convenience store, Mike took out his phone and opened WhatsApp. He found Laura in his contacts and sent her a message. "Laura, I came to your convenience store today, but didn't see you."Mike placed his phone back into his pocket after sending the message.He stood where he was and looked around. That was when he realized that there was a new convenience store on the other side of the Jacobs Group.Mike walked inside.Laura was just about to reply to Mike's message when she saw it.That was when she heard that a customer had entered the store. She put down her phone and raised her head. "Welcome."When the two of them looked at each other, they were both tak
When Laura saw Mike's message, Shannon just happened to see it as well.Shannon widened her eyes in shock and said, "Laura, what does she mean? Why is she treating you to a meal? Is she trying to provoke you?"Shannon didn't have a good impression of Mike.She felt that Mike was a homewrecker and was now trying to show off in front of Laura. Such a thought made Shannon feel that Mike was shameless.Shannon didn't know what was going on between Laura and Chris, but Mike alone made Shannon dislike him every time she saw him.Laura typed a reply. "I'm sorry. My store has just opened, so I don't have much time."Mike had expected that Laura would turn him down.However, when he thought of the phone call he just received, his heart sank.He knew that his father wasn't joking. Ethan said that he would be arriving in Empfield in three days' time, and then he would definitely be there.During lunch, Laura told Shannon to get some rest in the lounge and that she would stay at the count
