The Matter With Joyce
Therefore, Natalie wanted to know who spread such rumors in the company. It would be bad if Joyce heard it and
thought that Natalie wished to replace her.
Even if Joyce believed Natalie did not have such intention, Joyce might begin to wonder whether Natalie would
consider replacing her in the future. After all, many friends started businesses together but later became enemies
due to differences.
Some even became enemies after they were influenced by others.
Therefore, Natalie now suspected that someone was deliberately sabotaging her relationship with Joyce and
spreading such rumors.
Seeing Natalie’s expression darkened, the assistant knew she had made a grave mistake and angered Natalie.
Therefore, she bowed and explained, “No, no one told me this. I was only guessing.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You guessed it?” Natalie pressed her lips together. “What is the basis of your guess?”
“From Ms. Rivers’ behavior.” The assistant kept her head down. “Two days ago, Ms. Rivers applied for leave and
distributed all her work to others. She even distributed some of the works that only she could handle.”
“What?” Natalie stood up in shock. “Did you say she even distributed the works that only she could do?”
“Yes.” The assistant nodded. “Previously, I was shocked too and asked Ms. Rivers why she did that. Ms. Rivers said
she might never return, so she distributed her work in advance to let others familiarize themselves with them.
Then, they would not be thrown into disarray. Thus, I thought Ms. Rivers wanted to resign from her position and
asked whether you are appointing another director.”
I see.
Natalie pursed her lips after hearing her assistant’s explanation.
She did not expect Joyce to distribute all her work to others.
Furthermore, Joyce even said she might never return.
What did Joyce mean? Is she planning to resign?
Natalie bit her lower lip.
That doesn’t sound right. If Joyce wanted to resign, why didn’t she tell me? Furthermore, the company belongs to
both of us. Joyce is the second-largest shareholder. It would not do her any good to resign. Where has she gone this
time? Previously, we agreed to grow this company together into a listed company and create many brands. We
have yet to achieve our goal, so I don’t believe Joyce would just resign and leave the company. It means that
something is wrong.
Natalie squeezed her palm as she considered the matter. Then, she turned to the assistant and said, “I understand.
You can go out now.”
“Sure,” the assistant replied and turned to leave.
However, the assistant had just taken a couple of steps when Natalie thought about something and called out,
“Wait.”
The assistant paused her step and turned around. “Ms. Smith, is there anything else I can help you with?”
Natalie replied, “I need you to take back all the work that only Joyce can manage and place them in her office. As
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor her other works, you can let them be.”
“Understood.” The assistant nodded.
Then, Natalie sat on her seat and pinched between her eyebrows.
Natalie could not allow Joyce to assign works that only she could manage to her subordinates. After all, they
involved many trade secrets. Thus, she could not trust other employees to work on them.
Furthermore, Natalie did not wish for anyone to criticize Joyce.
However, it would be different if Joyce truly wished to quit.
But Natalie did not believe that Joyce wanted that.
Therefore, Natalie took out her cell phone and called Joyce.
Joyce soon answered the call. She sounded tired. “Nat, what is the matter?”
“Tell me, are you planning to resign?” Natalie asked solemnly.
Joyce was stunned upon hearing Natalie. “I…”
Hearing Joyce’s nervous tone, Natalie’s heart sank, and she furrowed her brow. “Why did you do this, Joyce?”
Natalie gripped the cell phone tightly. “Joyce, if the assistant did not ask me if I should look for a director to take
over your work, I would have never found out that you distributed your work!”
