Chapter 770:
At that moment, the general manager patted me on the shoulder and comforted me.
“I know you’re a very capable person. Our company needs talents like you. Go back and prepare. I’ll arrange for you to become the vice general manager next month.”
As I left the general manager’s office, my mind was in turmoil. Before I could return to my office, Linda stopped me in the corridor.
“Bella?”
I heard someone calling my name. I looked up, still lost in thought, and saw Linda staring at me with a look of complexity in her eyes.
I nodded quickly.
“Linda… What can I do for you?”
“Come to my office.”
With that, Linda turned and entered her office. I was confused but followed her inside.
“Close the door.”
Linda walked to the window, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and spoke with her back turned to me.
I quietly turned around and closed the door. As I looked at Linda’s back, I sensed that something was wrong. The atmosphere felt tense. Linda didn’t seem happy.
I immediately wondered, Has the general manager told Linda about my promotion? It made sense. Linda had worked at Qihang for many years and was still just a business director. It must have been hard for her to accept that I would suddenly be her boss, especially since I got the promotion due to my relationship with Herbert. And, on top of that, Linda had feelings for him.

“Linda, are you looking for me… for something?” I asked, trying to break the silence.
At that moment, Linda turned around, still with her arms crossed, and said in an unfriendly tone, “Bella, should I congratulate you on your promotion? Vice general manager?”
I was taken aback. It seemed like the general manager had already spoken to Linda about it. No wonder she was upset.
“Did the general manager tell you?” I asked cautiously.
Linda sneered.
“Who else but the general manager would have the authority to do that?”
“I…” I started, unsure how to respond.
Linda interrupted me.
“The man I like is your ex-husband. I’ve worked hard for many years to build my career, but there’s no room for me to rise because of your presence.”
Bella’s POV:
Linda reached out and touched her forehead, clearly agitated.
I paused for a few seconds, then said, “Linda, you misunderstood me. I never wanted to compete with you.”
“You never wanted to compete with me?” she shot back.
“But now everything I want has been taken away by you.”
With that, Linda began packing her things in frustration.
“Linda, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Of course, I’m going to quit,” Linda responded, her voice thick with anger.
