Chapter 144 - How Dare You Fight Senior!
"Come on, Riani, this is just a small problem, don\'t make it big!" Lisa said while holding Vira\'s arm as the girl seemed confused.
Hearing that sentence, Riani\'s heart burned even more. Never before had she heard of a younger employee like Lisa who dared to advise her.
Before Lisa came to the office and joined the finance department, no junior employee dared to fight and oppose Riani. Many times Riani was summoned to the president director\'s room and was warned by Rangga himself, but Riani did not change. She still felt like she deserved more respect as a senior employee in the finance department.
Vira leaned closer and said, "Sister Lisa is right, it\'s all just a small problem. It wasn\'t intentional and I\'ve also apologized to you. This matter shouldn\'t be made big!"
"Oh so you dare to oppose me now? Let me tell you this, I hate younger new recruits who have no manners like you! Is this how you talk to your seniors? How insolent! You must be the troublemaker kid in your elementary school!" Riani mocked her with a condescending look.
Seeing the tension couldn\'t subside anytime soon, Lisa told Vira to apologize to Riani according to how the latter wanted it.
Vira lowered her head, staring at her shoes with a blank stare, then said in a low voice, "I\'m sorry, Sis Riani, I accidentally hit you. It\'s my fault…"
"Is that all? Don\'t you think you have other mistakes besides that?" Riani asked curtly.
Vira lowered her head, trying to be humble and patient.
"I won\'t forgive you! I\'ll never forgive any new kid who dares to fight me! So don\'t try to melt my heart so I can forgive you!" Riani replied in a high tone.
Vira was surprised to hear those words. She was very furious inside and wanted to slap the grim-faced woman in front of her. She was willing to bow and apologize in exaggerated ways in order to defuse the situation. However, Riani was triggered!
"Sis, I already apologized!" Vira said, getting annoyed.
"I don\'t care! Sorry I won\'t accept it until you finally left Colors Advertising! I hope you get fired from this company because of your bad behavior!" Riani snapped at Vira. "Oh I should talk to Mr. Rangga to expel you because of your bad attitude!"
"Are you threatening me? You think Mr. Rangga will comply with all of your requests?" Vira replied back. "I am not afraid!"
Vira bravely pointed at Riani\'s face.
Riani really exploded with anger inside, feeling humiliated for having a younger junior employee like Vira who dared to point her index finger right into her face while fighting her. She really didn\'t like this, she didn\'t expect Vira to enrage her this much.
"You damn whore! How dare you fight your senior! Be thankful I didn\'t rip your mouth for this!" Riani snapped, feeling increasingly furious. She leaned over and pointed at Vira\'s collarbone roughly. "You are a new kid! Don\'t cause trouble in this place!"
The situation in the finance department room was heating up! Other employees did not dare to interfere, especially when Riani\'s involved. She could have raised a storm in the office and destroyed everyone in it! They preferred to focus on their respective jobs even though they were a little distracted by the sound of yelling and screaming from the three women in the doorway.
"Listen, Sis Riani! I am a new employee but your attitude towards me is too much! I already apologized and I have no bad intentions to hurt you!" Vira firmly said.
"Shut up! Don\'t be pretentious. Just because you\'re smarter than me, you think you have the right to go against my words!"
The atmosphere was getting excited. Lisa could not hold back her patience.
"Hey hey hey! Stop it already, you two! This is an office, not a boxing ring! I\'m here as a finance manager telling you to go back to work. Vira, please return to the training room. And Sister Riani! I know I am younger but my position here is superior than you, so please listen to me!"
For a long time, Riani ignored what Lisa said. She looked at Lisa with a fierce gaze. "You\'re a bad manager! I don\'t understand why the hiring department would accept you!"
The woman with the gloomy face returned to her seat and started working. Vira also quietly stepped out, her face was painted with a mixture of anger and embarrassment because her bickering with Riani made the atmosphere in the finance department room very noisy.
Dealing with a childish senior was really tiring for Lisa. Before she worked at Colors Advertising, she met two crazy women who bullied her every day. First, Karina, who was jealous of her, and second, Clara, who deliberately provoked her into divorcing Oscar.
Now she met another annoying co-worker. She didn\'t know why there\'d always be one or two people in her working place that made things difficult for her.
Riani was a really difficult woman to deal with. Although Lisa and Riani\'s ages were not far apart, Riani still felt that she was the oldest among employees in the finance department.
Lisa hoped that she could find a way out so that Riani wouldn\'t fight with Vira again in the future.
***
The next morning, the atmosphere in the finance department was suddenly peaceful and calm! All employees worked according to what had been assigned to them. Moreover, this morning Riani was not acting up at all. She even wanted to listen to all of Lisa\'s orders to do her job.
Honestly, it was hard to believe! What just happened to Riani? Was she struck by lightning last night? Or was she scolded by Rangga directly?
What a peaceful day for Lisa. However, she should not consider Riani to be an easy employee. It could be that Riani would mess up again in the future and ruin their work efficiency!
This morning Lisa was busy working on the company\'s inventory report. Suddenly, a courier came to her and brought a package. She then tried to remember if she had ordered something this week, but she seemed like she didn\'t have any order.
Lisa\'s money had started running low since she sent living and medical expenses for her mother and sister. There was no way she\'d be buying anything online lately.
The woman raised her hand when the courier called her name out loud.
The courier came to Lisa and handed over the package. He also handed over a pen and paper to be signed.
Lisa stared at the box in surprise. Who sent her the parcel? She grabbed the razor blade and opened the box.
A new cell phone! Lisa was shocked and happy to see it. It was a perfect moment, she just lost her cell phone due to an unpleasant incident two days ago and now she\'d had its replacement!
She looked at the box, looked for the label, and read the details stuck on the wrapper. There was no sender name.
Who sent her a cell phone?
