Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 782:

Then, in an instant, the lights blazed to life.

“Congratulations!” A chorus of voices rang out as confetti and streamers rained down around her.

Before she could even react, her colleagues swarmed her, their faces glowing with excitement as they erupted into applause.noveldrama

Rachel stood there, stunned.

A welcome party this grand? It had to be because of the major client she had just secured.

Before she left, she hadn’t dared to be too optimistic. She never expected the deal to go through so smoothly—let alone for the news to travel back to the company so quickly.

“Thank you, everyone!” Rachel grinned, offering her gratitude.

“Are you treating us today?” someone called out from the crowd.

She blinked in confusion. “What for?”

“You’ve been promoted to Director of the Design Department!” another voice chimed in. “Mr. Vance personally signed the appointment letter. It was posted on the intranet this morning. You seriously didn’t know?”

She really didn’t. Between wrapping up the contract, catching her flight, and passing out in the taxi ride back, she hadn’t even checked her phone. It wasn’t until she stepped into the building just now that she finally turned it on.

Just a week had passed, and she never imagined she’d return to a promotion.

“Thank you, everyone! Let’s get back to work. I’ll treat everyone to afternoon tea—and dinner’s on me tonight.”

As soon as Rachel spoke, a collective cheer erupted. “Thank you!”

When she went to find Allan, he was in his office.

“You’re here to ask about the promotion, aren’t you?”

Rachel nodded. “Allan, I know you’ve always looked out for me, but isn’t this a little too soon?”

Allan chuckled. “I figured you’d say that. Take a look at this first.” He handed her his phone, displaying an electronic recommendation letter.

Brenda had written it herself, detailing Rachel’s design work and listing her achievements one by one. At the end of the letter, Brenda wrote, “Rachel may not have been with the company for long, but her skills more than qualify her to lead the Design Department. I strongly recommend her as my successor. I hope you and the board will give this serious consideration.”

Allan leaned back in his chair. “All I did was back the decision. The one you should really be thanking is Brenda.”

Rachel would never have guessed Brenda had advocated for her so strongly. Right now, the only thing she could say was, “Ms. Myers, thank you for believing in me.”

“Just do your best. Don’t disappoint me.”
