Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 550

Elena was currently doing busywork at the company. Receiving the call, she said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

Elena put down the documents in her hand and looked at Elaine, who was walking over from the opposite side.

“Elaine, I have a family emergency. Can I take a little time off?” Elena asked.

Elaine looked at her. “Time off? How long have you been at the company? You’ve already asked for leave twice. What other intern is like you?”

“Elaine, there isn't much to do this afternoon anyway. You can deduct whatever amount from my salary for the absence. I really have something I need to take care of.”

“No! Even if the sky is falling, you wait until you get off work! Do you think the company is your house, where you can come and go as you please?”

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” Sienna suddenly approached.

“Director, it’s nothing. This intern wants to leave early, and I was just lecturing her,” Elaine said.

Sienna looked at Elena, then said to Elaine, “Elaine, we are a caring company with a human touch. Don't be so harsh on the interns. Since she needs time off, let her go. She must have something important to do. I trust her.”

“Yes, Director,” Elaine replied.

“Thank you, Director!” Elena glanced at Sienna, grabbed her backpack, and left.

Sienna shook her head.

Elaine felt it was strange. When did Sienna become so nice?

She was famous in the company for being strict!

Especially with subordinates, she didn't tolerate the slightest error.

“No, no, no, Ms. Hayes. I didn't mean that. I’m happy to do it. I just... I worry too much.”

“What is there to worry about? Are you afraid they’ll surpass you? Let me put it this way: if they can surpass you, then they deserve to eat. What you need to do is improve your own designs. Look at your design skills these past few years—have they improved at all? You’re still running in place. So sometimes, don't blame me for favoring Claire’s designs. You need to look for the reason within yourself.”

Elaine hadn't expected a casual complaint to result in a lecture from Sienna.

“I understand, Director.” She could only lower her head and agree.

Sienna patted her on the shoulder and walked away.

Elaine felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
