Chapter 2216

Ava knew that these people were saying that to her. She raised her head with a smile and said.

“This kind of thing doesn’t depend on fate. If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to sit in the

corresponding position.”

“Not necessarily,” Kendra retorted.

“Why not?” Ava aimed her sharp eyes at Kendra. Kendra pursed her lips. She wanted to speak but

stopped herself.

At this time, Tom entered the office with a

woman in business attire who looked very capable.

“My fellow colleagues, please stop what you're doing,” Tom said and then introduced, “This is Ms.

Parker, the new manager of your design department. She'll be managing all affairs of the design

department in the future. Just look for her if you have anything you want to ask.”

After Tom finished making the introduction, everyone in the office except Ava was stunned — including

Maisie.

She had clearly heard that Ava was going to get this position, so why did someone else replace her all

of a sudden?

“Good morning, everyone. I'm your new

manager. If you have any work-related matters in the future, feel free to come to me.” The woman

introduced herself with a smile. It was obvious that the position of manager of the design department

was hers.

Kendra and the other colleagues looked at Ava in confusion and surprise. However, Ava was

extraordinarily calm.

Tom left with the new manager after staying for a while. Immediately after, the office was in an uproar.

“Ava, what's the matter? I clearly heard that the company was going to give you a promotion. Didn't you Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

get called over by Mr. Lowe two days ago? Didn't you guys talk about the promotion?” Maisie

expressed her doubts. She referred to her elder brother as Mr. Lowe in the office according to company

rules.

When everyone around them heard Maisie’s question, they also pricked up their ears to listen to Ava’s

answer.

Ava smiled at Maisie and explained, “That did happen, but I rejected the offer.”

“What? You rejected?” Maisie was confused. “ Why?”

“Because I felt that once I’m promoted to that position, I might not have more energy to spend on my

design drafts. I love designing, and I’m happy with my current salary, so I don’t wish to change my

position,” Ava slowly stated what she was thinking.

After Maisie heard that, her eyes were filled with admiration. “Ava, I’m growing more and more fond of

you. If I were a guy, I’d definitely pursue you!”

“I’m honored.” Ava went along with Maisie’s joke and lifted her eyes to look at Kendra, who was now

speechless.

Just now, Kendra was inciting other employees to make oblique accusations at Ava. In the end,

however, it turned out that Ava did not want to be promoted at all. They could only swallow their

complaints against her just now.

After the new manager took office, she quickly issued a new task to Ava and it was also a very

important one. This was enough to show the manager's trust in Ava's design ability.

After reading the contract, Ava could grasp the client's situation and needs.

The client was an influencer who had gained fame on the internet. She was going to marry her rumored

boyfriend next year, so she specially asked a designer to help design her new house. Since the client's

requirements were pretty stringent, Ava specially brought the information to the venue stated by the

client for a meeting. After arriving, it was not the owner of the house she would be designing who

welcomed her. Instead, it wasaman. |

The man said that the owner of the house was waiting for her in the house she would be designing, so

Ava had no doubts and took the elevator upstairs. However, the person she saw immediately after

exiting the elevator made Ava think that this might be a set-up.
