BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 - Don't Try Against Me!
Two days later, Lisa returned to the office as usual. Today, her work piled up! Being a financial manager was not easy, especially when she was allowed to take a break after the incident.
She was busy with her computer most of the time. Sitting staring at the screen and working on the endless inventory report. Lisa's attention was then distracted when a girl came over with a folder and said, "Excuse me, are you Sister Lisa? I want to submit this document for re-examination,"
Her voice sounded completely uncompetitive. Lisa turned her gaze at the girl and suddenly got shocked.
"Vira!? Why are you here?" Lisa asked, still surprised to see the figure of her junior in college.
Vira laughed crisply. "Hehe, hello Sis. I applied for a job at Colors Advertising and was immediately accepted two days ago! We finally met again," the girl said with a big smile, her voice was cheerful.
"Gosh, I never thought you could be working here too, Vir!" Lisa replied, grabbing the folder Vira handed over.
"At first, I didn't know that you also worked here. I just heard that there was a job vacancy in the finance department, so I just took it. But I didn't think that Brother Rangga would be the boss!" Vira added sparklingly.
"By the way, how long have you been here?" Vira asked again. Her curiosity hadn't ended.
"It's been almost a month since I worked here. The finance department is the division with the fewest employees, so if someone applies in this department, they have a high chance to be accepted!" Lisa replied as she typed.
"Ah, really? Weren't we both accepted because we both know the boss?" Vira whispered while covering one face with a palm.
"Shush! Don't talk carelessly! The president himself said that all the candidates were selected according to the skills needed by the job!" Lisa explained trying to change the subject.
She didn't want to let the other employees hear their conversation. It'd be dangerous if they knew that both Lisa and Vira knew Rangga and even knew the guy outside of work!
"I'll take care of the files that you brought with you later. Don't be lazy to work, okay!"Lisa said firmly.
"Got it, Sister Lisa! Anyway, after this trial period is over, shall we hang out like we used to? Wait, I'll talk to you again later!" The girl then stepped out of the finance department. She waved at Lisa.
Lisa just waved her hand and smiled in return.
She was back struggling with computers and inventory reports again. Today would be a very long and tiring day for her.
When Vira had crossed the doorway, she accidentally bumped into a woman with a grim and scary face.
Their heads bumped against each other. Vira instantly felt her head become dizzy. She held her head and groaned in pain.
"Hey! Look carefully when you walk! Don't you have eyes!?" Riani curtly shouted at Vira.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it. My bad, I didn't pay attention to my steps," Vira casually said. She then smiled hesitantly.
The woman with the grim face only snorted in response. She watched Vira's entire appearance from head to toe with condescension. Her eyes narrowed fiercely, as if she doubted everything about the girl in front of her. She looked at the white blouse and black cloth pants Vira was wearing.
"Is that how you treat your seniors in the finance department?" Riani said curtly.
Vira looked at her with a confused look. She thought that something must be wrong with this woman. "Well, I already apologized. Besides, it was an accident and I didn't mean to do that!"
Whatever it was, Riani really liked to make small problems, especially if it involved someone younger than her, bigger than ever.
"You are a trainee here, how should you apologize to your seniors?" Riani snapped, stopping Vira's steps from getting out. "Remember, you have fully functioning eyes! Put it forward, not backward! I wonder why the hiring department has recruited lots of young candidates lately. Don't they realize that young people nowadays are less disciplined!?"
"Sis, I already apologized earlier. After all, this was an accident. I have no intention of hurting you!" Vira replied defensively.
She had already apologized to Riani in a proper way but who knew what was in the mind of that gloomy woman that she didn't accept Vira's apology at all!
The woman was so arrogant and felt she held the highest position as a senior among the employees in the finance department. She would make a fuss even for the smallest mistake, especially when it was made by someone younger than her. Riani definitely would not accept their apology.
Hearing Vira's words just now made Riani's feelings explode. She stepped forward to Vira and pinned her between the walls.
"Listen, I'm a senior in the finance department! You should be respectful and apologize in the proper way! The way you apologize just now shows that you are not truly sincere and sorry! And the way you speak is very rude!"
When Vira was about to reply to Riani's words, Lisa immediately intervened when she saw the commotion.
"Hey, hey," Lisa said, separating Riani and Vira. "I'm sorry, Sis Riani. This is a new employee. She's still in training, so just forgive her," Lisa looked down at Riani in a low, resigned voice.
Riani was annoyed. She felt as if Lisa was defending Vira because she was just a naive trainee. Anyway, Riani really hated the new employee who's much younger and smarter than her!
"Lis, do you seriously want to argue with the manager of this department just to defend this kid!? She accidentally bumped into me but she didn't apologize sincerely! The way she talks is also rude and very disrespectful!" Riani yelled at Lisa.
"But I'm already sorry, I've also apologized! Besides, I accidentally bumped into her. I mean there's no way I intentionally ran into someone. No joke, it hurts as hell!" Vira said defensively.
"See!" Riani pointed at Vira angrily. "You heard her, Lis! Is that how she's supposed to talk to a senior!? Use proper and correct language! Don't talk as if you're hanging out with friends!" The woman with the gloomy face leaned forward while looking at Vira closely.
"Come on, please, can you not fight here? This is just a small problem, Sis Riani! Vira has also apologized," Lisa said, trying to break up and separate the two before Riani wrecked the financial department.
"This kid hit me first, Lis! How come I can let her just get away without teaching her how to talk to a senior in a proper manner and apologize sincerely?!?" Riani was getting annoyed, her crunchy voice began to rise.
