CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 139: MAKING AN IMPRESSION (SECOND MAJOR UPDATE)

At this moment, Director Hao was in her office telling jokes to her roommates.

She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, fair-skinned and plump, with a very pleasant round face, though a pair of upturned eyes slightly ruined her appearance.

She picked up the phone and lazily asked, "Who is this?"

Lawrence Winters chuckled, "This is Lawrence Winters. Could you come over, please?"

"Lawrence Winters? Who’s that? I don’t know you..." she said, then deliberately asked loudly to the people in her office, "Hey, does anyone here know who Lawrence Winters is?"

The people in the office looked at each other, not daring to respond.

They had seen it with their own eyes these days and were quite impressed with the new spokesperson.

They saw her, just a delicate girl, and yet she managed to set up the office all by herself, without relying on anyone else. This determination and poise clearly set her apart from those fresh out of college.

They were all small potatoes in the company, keeping their distance from the upper-level squabbles, afraid of becoming collateral damage.

Therefore, no one responded.

The worst thing is when the air suddenly becomes quiet.

No matter how good the joke, it turns awkward.

Director Hao stood there stunned, mouth wide open.

If someone were looking at her then, they’d see even her gums were showing.

But at that moment, everyone pretended to be busy and no one paid her any attention.

On the other end of the internal line, Lawrence Winters listened calmly to Director Hao’s performance.

When the other end fell into an awkward silence, Lawrence then said, "Director Hao, I am the company’s newly appointed spokesperson who started on Monday. If you don’t know who I am, it shows you’re not doing your job. My office needs curtains, and I hope you can have someone measure them right away. I want to see the curtains on my window before I leave today."

Director Hao’s face turned red from Lawrence Winters’ firm yet polite words, but having pretended not to know her earlier, it would be embarrassing to back down in front of the whole office. Didn’t she care about her face?

But with Lawrence Winters issuing a direct order, she couldn’t ignore it either. She heard that the girl was on good terms with Director Mason, having used connections to get in.

She wasn’t sure if Zoe Johnson could have the girl kicked out before Director Mason returned, so she had to be cautious.

Director Hao snorted, saying brusquely, "Got it, just wait."

After that, she hung up on Lawrence’s internal call and turned to her computer to find a website to read novels.

Lawrence Winters poured herself a cup of coffee, and after drinking it, she felt much more energetic.

She didn’t have to move furniture today, and finally, she could take a break.

She’s been exhausted these past few days from all the heavy lifting, but luckily lost a few pounds, so it was worth it.

After finishing her coffee, Lawrence opened up Weibo, first checking the trending topics, then scrolled through her home page for news, and finally went to her fandom hashtags.

First was the #MasonandGrahamCP# fandom, followed by the #LucasHarlow# fandom.

Lawrence lingered a bit longer in the Lucas Harlow fandom, seeing the last time Lucas posted was two weeks ago.

That was around the time she spoke on the phone with Lucas Harlow.

What was he up to?

Lawrence pondered, then picked up the internal phone and called the company’s HR department.

This time, the person who answered was more polite and said with a smile, "Miss Winters, what can I do for you?"

This person didn’t pretend not to know her. Lawrence smiled and said, "Hello, I wanted to ask about Lucas Harlow and his assistant Jason. What are they up to, and when will they return?"

The person was Director Dai from HR, who checked the HR department’s calendar and said, "They’re on vacation."

"Lucas Harlow is taking a longer break this time. He was supposed to be back last week, but said there’s some business overseas, so he can’t return for now. He’ll be back next week."

"Lucas isn’t in the country right now, and Jason is also on vacation."

Lawrence nodded, "Thank you, Director Dai. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime."

"No need to be so polite. I hope you enjoy our company and have a great work experience." Director Dai exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up.

Seeing that Jason was also on vacation, Lawrence decided not to bother him.

In any case, they would all be back next week, just over the weekend.

She happily continued to browse through Weibo, catching up on entertainment news, and took a careful look at government spokesperson videos.

In no time, the morning had passed. She went out for lunch alone and, upon returning, closed her office door for a leisurely nap on the beautifully decorated chaise she placed there.

Waking up from her nap, it was already two in the afternoon.

She opened her office, went to the break room to brew a cup of green tea, and slowly strolled down the company hallway, casually observing the faces she encountered.
