Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 735:

When she arrived at the company, the first stop was the HR department.

Because Allan had personally recommended her, the HR director greeted Rachel with a warm and friendly demeanor.

“Come, let me show you to your desk,” he said with a friendly smile.

“I appreciate it. Thank you,” she responded politely.

With his guidance, the onboarding process was seamless, and everything fell into place effortlessly. Once she had introduced herself to a few colleagues, she took her seat and began settling into her new workspace.

However, the design department director was absent, supposedly away for a business meeting.

Around midday, just as Rachel was halfway through her packed lunch, a cheerful young woman approached her desk and asked, “Are you the new manager, Rachel Marsh?”

“Yes, that’s me. And you are?”

“I’m Brenda, Myers’s assistant. She just returned and would like to see you in her office.”

Brenda was the head of the design department.

Rachel nodded without hesitation. “Of course, I’ll be there right away.” She quickly packed up her lunch, straightened her outfit, and made her way over without delay.

She knocked lightly, and a cool, detached voice from inside instructed, “Come in.”

Brenda’s office was expansive, dominated by a striking wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. The decor was starkly minimalist—only a sleek desk, a few chairs, a computer, and a filing cabinet.

The moment Rachel stepped inside, Brenda’s cold, assessing gaze left a lasting impression. Though momentarily caught off guard, Rachel maintained her composure. With a polite yet confident tone, she introduced herself, saying, “Hello, I’m Rachel Marsh, the new hire.”

“No need for introductions. I’m already informed,” Brenda said flatly, her attention fixed on the stack of documents her assistant had placed before her, not sparing Rachel a glance.

The air of arrogance and indifference surrounding her was unmistakable.

Rachel, however, wasn’t discouraged. She remained standing patiently, waiting without complaint.noveldrama

Meanwhile, Brenda continued with her work, calling her assistant over, flipping through files, and giving out instructions as she assigned various tasks.

As soon as the assistant left, another knock came at the door—yet another work-related matter demanding Brenda’s attention.

Brenda added her input. Her expertise was unquestionable.
