Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 666

"Nothing!" Cordelia's expression was innocent, but there was something else deep in her eyes.

"The employees should be complimented when they do a good job. They joined the company at different times, but they have one thing in common-they are serious about what they do and hardworking! Talents like them are highly sought after no matter which company it is."

Ava was stunned, clueless about Cordelia's strategy.

"But Cordelia..." She forced a smile. "These people offended you!"

"They didn't know who I was then. Besides, if there were actually an intern, errands like that should be their job!"

"You..." Ava was rendered speechless and could only gawk wide-eyed at Cordelia.

The other three women were equally surprised. They had been under the impression they were in trouble this time and had even figured they would rat Ava out if they were really punished.

It was a surprise that their young mistress was beautiful, kind, and so magnanimous that she was not petty with them!

"If I have to say what you did wrong..." Cordelia looked at them with a smile. "It's that your attitude was relatively bad. An intern's duty indeed consists of running errands, but you have to watch your words and tone. We ought to be polite when we ask someone to do things. It's necessary at work, so you have to keep an eye out for it next time!"

"Yes, sure!" The three of them nodded fervently.

"So... you don't blame us?"

Cordelia smiled and shook her head, allowing them back to work in peace.

The three of them were grateful.

Seeing that her plan was going to fail, Ava panicked. She yanked Fan with a step forward and yelled at Sarah and Jenny to stop them from leaving.

"Cordelia! You're letting them leave just like this?"

"What else?" Cordelia held her waist and watched Ava's distress like a show. "Ava, what should I do otherwise?"

"These people offended you. They should be punished severely!"

The moment the words left Ava's mouth, she covered it in regret. How could she be saying this? Cordelia was supposed to be the one kicking up a fuss here!

At the same time, the three women looked at her coldly with disdain in their gaze.

"Oh, no, no..." Ava quickly backtracked. "I mean, you suffered such a grievance and I feel bad that you aren't punishing them! This way... I can't explain it to Zephyr, right?" "You?" Cordelia raised a brow. "Explain what?"

Ava was rendered speechless, unable to answer.

"Hah!" Cordelia chortled. "Are you the one calling the shots here in the Baker Group, Ava? That everything should be explained to you?

"From what I know, you don't have a position in the company."

Ava's heart dropped, and her expression changed. The other three women behind her chuckled behind their hands.

Cordelia looked at Ava and said softly, "One picks up the duty that's in one's position. If one isn't in the position, there's no need to bear such responsibility. Don't you think so, Ava?"

"You..." Ava clenched her fists.

"These are the Baker Group's official employees." Cordelia continued. "They're hired by the HR department and joined through formal procedures. Even if they're to be punished, it should be formal in order to be fair.

"You said that they have offended me and should be punished? Heh, it's like I'm instigating something here!"

"No." Ava sucked in a cold breath and said stubbornly, "Cordelia, you've misunderstood. Actually-"

"The Baker Group's a fair and open company, not a dictatorship!" Cordelia did not allow her any chance to speak. "If this got out, it would damage the Baker Group's reputation. Ava, don't push me into a trap here!"

Ava was stunned, not expecting Cordelia to have such a sharp tongue.
