Caged By My Devil Uncle

Chris’s point of view

As Warren stood immobile, I had no idea what was going through his mind. I whispered, “Brother Warren…”

Warren has finally come to his senses. “Sorry.”

P. O. V. of Warren

It wasn’t until Chris had gotten out of the car that I spotted myself in my rearview mirror making my way to Chris at the office. The further she moves away from me, the more compelled I am to come near to her.

Chris’s point of view

Calvin smiled at me when we returned to the office. “Chris, thank you so much. As a historical person, you already know that. The King Group has never done business with our company.”

“I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.” The fact that I’m getting all the credit for something I didn’t do makes me feel humiliated.

“And who gets lucky? This is where the power lies. Others aren’t as fortunate as you are if they want an uncle with your sway. Luck, too, is a form of success.”

“Look who just showed up! So soon after her arrival, she had already garnered considerable collaboration, but her abilities are undeniable.”

Christine, a member of Group B, had a reputation for being abrasive.

Julie, her colleague, also echoed: “Of course, I heard that she have a powerful uncle, who can get through all the relationships for her with one sentence. This, too, is a capability. Why don’t we have an uncle like that?”

In other words, I don’t have any special abilities, and they all come from my swaggering uncle.

It’s impossible for me to argue with what they’ve said, and I’m out of options.

Wendy entered the room wearing a high-heeled shoe. “Who is green with jealousy??”

When they saw Wendy, their expressions altered instantly. Greetings, Sister Wendy, and congratulations on your new position. You have a capable team member.

“Group B appears to be sluggish. It’s no wonder the grade is a B in two quarters in a row. No, we don’t have the same laziness that you do. Arrange a meeting , Chris so we can discuss cooperation.”

“Sister Wendy, you’re right.” After Wendy’s comments, I stepped over to Wendy and observed that the two were angry.

“Nothing to be proud of here. If it weren’t for Chris, they’d be relegated in the near future.”

“No, we’re simply unlucky? This quarter’s performance is in vain again, hey.”

There was a sigh of relief from Wendy as she walked into the Group A office “Chris, you should know that the three of us are in a constant state of conflict. We are both in the same boat when it comes to poor relationships. The other two groups will join forces if a single group has a slight gap in their defense. ” Choosing the sales department means accepting the fact that you will be entering a battleground. All of them are going to be your foes. To be bullied in today’s world, you have to exhibit signs of vulnerability. Fighting back is essential if you find yourself in this situation. No one here is clean, despite her assertions that our means are shabby.”

There is a lot I have learned in the last two days. It appears that I have a long way to go.

You can expect a rebuttal from me in the future.

There were only three groups that Calvin mentioned to me when I first walked inside the sales department. As of right now.

When I first saw them, I thought they were all students in the same class from the same department. Despite the fact that each of our grades is slightly different, we may still be good pals. The more I thought about it, the more naive I realized I’d been.

This isn’t the sales department, this is the battlefield, as Wendy put it. Salary is tied to every order placed by our customers. Aspiring climbers will earn more money.

Remember, there are only interests here, Wendy added as she stared at me.

Why can’t we be friends, too, Sister Wendy? I took a moment to look at her.

Wendy remained motionless for a few seconds before responding, “There is no one-size-fits-all definition of a good friend. I’d like you to join me. What can I say? I’m not sure.”

As Kenneth predicted, Wendy will use me as a pawn to her full advantage. She bought me gifts solely to entice me to cooperate.

Constricting the fingers of my right hand, I realized the next step.

While I’m here, Wendy needs me, so I’ll have to rely on her for a while.

“Chris, how did your collaboration talk with the president go yesterday?” I said while entering Wendy’s manager’s office.

The very mention of yesterday makes me cringe. Kenneth and I have left our imprints all over the place here.

We didn’t even discuss cooperation. Why don’t I just say nothing at all?

He indicated he would work with us and that more details will be worked out later.

“A lot of learning is required of Chris. Every now and then, you’ll run into an abundance of mutations at work. Many bosses will promise to marry you on the surface. His thoughts are his own, and no one can read them. Signing a contract is the safest option. His relation to you means that you have nothing to fear. A contract signed early is a good idea for keeping everything on track.”

“Sister Wendy, I see,” I respond.

“Since the president has designated you as his sole represetative of contact, I’m afraid I’m unable to go with you at this time. When you’re negotiating, I’ll give you a few things you should know.”

After listening to her comments, I learned a lot and carried a notebook with me to jot them down.

Wendy is a role model for me. The first stage is to secure the cooperation of your team. The most important thing is to figure out how to maximize the company’s profitability.

Calvin appears at the door and enters. “Chris and Sister Wendy just received a call from the King Organization. They requested Chris to go over the details of the partnership.”

Wendy came to an abrupt halt. Doesn’t that sound a little strange?NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

It’s all clear to me now, sister Wendy. ”

If you’re going to be there, do your best to communicate effectively and be intelligently.

You may go down now, because the King Group told us it’s already down there.

It’s a nice to talk , too.” I gathered my belongings and headed out the door. That’s fine with me. I’ll go ahead first.

Calvin’s pov

While watching Chris leave, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. “Chris doesn’t have an uncle that I’m aware of. When things are tough, I’d really like the support of a relative.”

My brain felt like it was being stabbed by a finger as Wendy walked up behind me. “Don’t dream, you’re different,” she said. 

“Well, it’s different,” Wendy said, and I was able to decipher something from her words.

Wendy’s point of view

For Chris, it doesn’t matter why Kings Group wants her as the project leader.

Chris has made great contributions only by virtue of this order, and she is the person Mr. Warren specially ordered to take care of. I’m concerned this girl is going to outpace everyone else.

This is not even my first day on the job, and I can already notice these issues. Here we are in reality. There is nothing in my past that has prepared me for this moment.

While many around me may see my glitz and glamour, only I know the price I’ve paid.

Was there anything else we could do for you?

“Sister Wendy, I’ve just realized. I’ll get it done in half a day if you give me the go ahead.”

Everything is back to normal at the office.

Chris’s point of view

A familiar Bentley was parked on the side of the road outside of the company. Blue eyes stared out of the glass as the window rolled down. “Get in the car .”

I had no idea that Kenneth would be the one to pick me up.

As soon as I got inside the car, he grabbed my arms and held them tight.

“Uncle…” Suffocation had taken hold of me.

What did Warren do to you the night before?

The answer is “no, he won’t.””

Tobacco was strongly detected on him. “Uncle, how many smokes have you had?”

We’d just left the pub, and I recall him puffing away like crazy on his last ride home with me.

“I can’t sleep because I’m upset.”

There were still lingering images of yesterday in my head when we walked into his office once more. So far, nothing has been accomplished and my face has been stained with blush.

“Let’s talk about the contract, Uncle.”

“Clearly state the goals of your business. I’ll let Cliff deal with it. It was never my intention to have you here to spout off.”

I’m not happy about it. “Uncle, they aren’t pranks.”

“Anything unrelated to you is a complete waste of time. You’re welcome to join us.” It was Kenneth’s way of saying hello.

I took my time and approached with caution.

Kenneth’s pov

My smirk was contagious as she appeared to be standing guard over me.

“It was you who threw a fit at me yesterday.”

Chris’ cheeks flushed. “Uncle…”

Taking her in my arms and staring at her face intently made me feel soft all over.

How did you sleep the night before?

As a result, “I lacked sleep; I couldn’t sleep through the night, and I wasn’t used to it.” Chris uttered the words in a sly tone.

“You’re not completely devoid of morality. Relax and take a nap in the house. Wake up and eat.”

I’m here to discuss the deal, after all.”

We should chat when you get up.” When I found out she hadn’t slept at all the previous night, I quickly took her to a bed in the rear room where she could rest easy in peace.
