Chapter 11
It was clear that Faye’s assistant, Alice Mills, was behind this sabotage, as the methods used were particularly underhanded.
Celeste frowned briefly but soon let it go. In fact, she felt slightly relieved. This meant she could take full responsibility for planning Samuel’s birthday party. samel was so endearing that it was impossible not to want to give him the best of everything. She wanted to create an unforgettable birthday celebration for him.
With the documents gone, she would simply start over. The plans were nined, so she would redesign them. Samuel’s birthday needed to be truly unique.
Lynn had no clue what Celeste was up to. Seeing the pile of shredded plans, she immediately complained, “Faye is completely useless ourside her work. She’s so small–minded to try to trip you up like this.”
“Exactly,” someone added. “She’s getting what she deserves after insalting Samuel and almost slapping him.”
“And these plans were partly our work she uned them without a second thought,” another coworker chimed in.
The others also voiced their displeasure with Faye’s actions.
Celeste quickly ceassured them, “Don’t worry. We canards the documents. I’ve reviewed them before, and we can recover at least 20%, However, I think we should change the original plan. I’ve had some recent talks with Mr. Samuel Ford, and I believe that we can tweak some details to make the party even better. 30, are you all confident in working with me on this?
“Of course. Even if we’re not totally confident, we’re all in this together. You’re incharge now, and we’re here to back you up,” Lynn said. She was enthusiastic about working with Celeste on this project

“There’s a bag I’ve been eyeing, so please make it happen,” a female colleague sald.
“I need to buy an engagement ring, so my future happiness depends on you,” another coworker added
Hearing the laughter and support from everyone, Celeste felt much more relaxed and motivated.
In the head of the Planning Department’s office, Fave’s face was dark and stormy. Her assistant, Alice, watched her nervously. She was afraid to provoke Faye further.
Faye gritted her teeth in rage and swept all the documents off the desk, shooting, “How dace Celeste steal my project!”
She had invested so much effort into the project. If It had succeeded, the company would surely recognize her as an outstanding employee, which would have led to an opportunity for intemational training and a smooth careerpath.
However, Celeste had ruined it at such a critical moment. Faye found if infuriating
Alice stayed silent but thought that this might not have happened it Faye had kept her mouth shut. Alice’s silence only made Eaye more furious.
“Why are you so quiet now? You always have a ton of Ideas, even if they reuible. But now, when it’s crucial, you have nothing to say?”
Alke felt embarrassed by the reprimand. Although she resented it, she kept her feelings to herself. She replied, “Ms. Hart, you’re missing the point. She’s just a new inter with only two months of experience. Do you really think she’s capable of handling everything? Plus, Mr. Food Junior’s birthday party is huge! Even a small mistake could lead to serious consequences.
