I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 471 After saying that , Camilla turned and left . The translation team's work area fell completely silent . Five minutes later , Kate finally asked Gisselle , " Who was that ? " Gisselle didn't reply verbally but sent her a message instead . " She's Camilla Hurst , the leader of the translation team . " It appeared that the translation team had a leader . Kate hadn't seen Camilla when she had started work and had almost assumed that no one supervised the team . " Then why hasn't she shown up these past few days ? " Kate quietly asked . Gisselle messaged again .

" She was out on a business trip with Mr. Frost . " That explained it . Thinking of Camilla's stern , unyielding expression , Kate figured she'd be even better than Annie at giving Rhea a hard time . She got up and went to the pantry . Opening her personal cabinet , she took out some expensive coffee beans and poured some into a cup . Then , she patiently waited for Camilla to return . Soon , Camilla appeared , following behind Damian and Eden . From a distance , Kate saw Damian and immediately returned to the translation team work area . She didn't go back to her desk , though .

She deliberately stood upright in the corridor , waiting for Damian to notice her . Upon hearing the hurried footsteps , the translation team members all knew who was coming . They pretended to be busy , but their attention was on the approaching figures . Out of the corner of their eyes , they noticed Damian walking briskly with Eden and Camilla without glancing at anyone . Only Eden gave Kate a faint , gentle smile . Kate felt a breeze sweep past , and her gaze stiffened . Damian ... didn't recognize her ?

Connor had asked Sawyer to bring her into Damian's company , so she should have been introduced 1/3 Chapter 471 +25 BONUS to Damian . Perhaps he simply didn't notice her . Kate turned back to her desk . Gisselle remarked , " I thought you were going to greet Mr. Frost . " Everyone knew Damian was friends with Sawyer , whom Kate had mentioned was her boyfriend . Naturally , they should know each other . Kate tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and lowered her gaze . " He probably didn't notice me , and it's work hours anyway . " She projected a professional demeanor .

Noticing that , Gisselle grew even more fond of her . Kate had never put on airs , so why was Rhea acting so grandiose ? About 20 minutes later , footsteps approached again . This time , Damian stopped and scanned every person in the translation team . Everyone instinctively assumed that he was looking for Kate . Gisselle immediately said , " Mr. Frost , Kate's over here ! " Kate was nudged to stand . She smiled politely and greeted , " Mr. Frost . " Everyone watched . Damian looked puzzled , wondering who had said that he was looking for her .

He gave Kate a calm glance and then looked away , continuing his search . Finally , his gaze landed on Heidi . " From today onward , you'll be Ms. Hurst's assistant . Learn from her closely . " Heidi had previously stepped in for Camilla on a translation task and performed very well . Damian had remembered that . Camilla had only just brought it up , and Damian personally made the appointment . It was clear how much he appreciated effort . Heidi stood , bewildered . " I - I will , Mr. Frost ! " The rest of the team frowned .

Heidi's appointment as Camilla's assistant meant that she now had a clear path for promotion . If 2/3 Chapter 471 +25 BONUS Camilla ever got transferred to headquarters , Heidi would likely take her place . They weren't happy about that . After that , Damian left , and Camilla didn't follow . Kate stood there awkwardly , feeling the air grow even thinner around her . Damian had ignored her completely without even giving her a friendly nod . It was as if he didn't know her at all . Kate forced down her embarrassment .

Once Camilla turned and walked into her office , she immediately ground the coffee beans she had just poured and brewed a fresh cup . Carrying the fragrant cup of coffee , she knocked on the office door . " Come in . " Camilla's voice was emotionless . Smiling , Kate entered and placed the cup of coffee on the desk . Having just received some instructions from Camilla , Heidi stood to the side . She looked at Kate , confused . She didn't know why the latter was so obsessed with making coffee . Camilla glanced at the coffee but didn't react . " What is it ?

" Kate introduced herself , " I'm Kate Pearson , the new hire . It's my first time meeting you . Please don't hesitate to assign me any work . Mr. Burton ... assigned me here hoping I could gain some experience , meet new people , and settle into a pleasant environment . " Chapter 472 344 +25 BONUS Chapter 472
