Chapter 64
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 64<\/p>\n
Chloe slammed her hands on the desk and stood up, sneering as she leaned in. “What, trying to shift the blame now? You are the team leader on this account. Failing to deliver is your own incompetence!”<\/p>\n
Watching Chloe blatantly target her, Stella felt her own temper flare. Refusing to back down, she met her superior’s eyes dead-on.<\/p>\n
“Director Huxley, there are corporate procedures for a reason. I followed every single step required of me, and there is no proof of incompetence on my part. Your accusations are entirely unjustified.”<\/p>\n
Hearing Stella snap back with such defiance only fueled Chloe’s rage. She pointed a manicured finger at her face. “Stella Quinn, if you can’t do the job, then get the hell\u2014”<\/p>\n
Before she could finish the sentence, a low cough sounded from the doorway.<\/p>\n
Both women snapped their heads toward the entrance.<\/p>\n
Jarrod stood there, having arrived completely unnoticed, flanked by one of his top executives.<\/p>\n
Chloe’s hand froze in mid-air. Her blazing anger instantly fizzled out. She awkwardly smoothed her hair and lowered her voice. “Mr. Fuller. Director Stanton.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s gaze swept over the scattered documents on the floor, then settled on Stella’s composed face. He turned back to Chloe, his tone dangerously calm.<\/p>\n
“Causing a scene like this during business hours. Is this how you run your department?”<\/p>\n
Chloe pouted, her voice tinged with stubborn grievance. “Stella is failing her assignment with the channel partners. I was merely disciplining her…”<\/p>\n
Stella remained silent, fully prepared for Jarrod to take Chloe’s side and reprimand her instead.<\/p>\n
“Director Stanton, I’ll let you handle your internal departmental matters,” Jarrod said, looking to the executive beside him.<\/p>\n
Miles Stanton immediately stepped in, asking Stella to explain the situation.<\/p>\n
Assuming Miles would also favor Chloe, Stella nonetheless laid out the facts clearly and concisely.<\/p>\n
Miles then pulled up Stella’s negotiation logs and briefly consulted the colleagues assisting on the account. He quickly grasped the reality of the situation\u2014Stella was entirely blameless.<\/p>\n
However, Miles was caught in a difficult position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3352","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
