Chapter 210
Cornelia walked into the CEOâs office, respectfully asking âMr. Hartley, you needed something?â
Marcus snuffed out the barely lit cigarette in his hands, âAt future formal events, the ladies of the company need to wear shoes Ever thought about what kind of shoes youâd be wearing?â Comelia was touched that he remembered such a seemingly trivial matter, âBoss, thanks for caring about us girls!â
Itâs tough for women in the workplace A lot of companies have some pretty stringent rules for female employees. Rarely does a big shot boss like him consider the difficulties faced by female employees
The longer she worked with Marcus, the more she believed that the rumors about him were pure hogwash. Heâs such a nice guy, thereâs no way heâd do anything to hurt his family
She quickly pulled up a photo on her phone and showed him, âBoss, I think this style is great Itâs simple and elegant, and comfortable to wearâ
The shoes in the photo were the ones he just gave her. Seeing her high praise, Marcus was delighted, âYou picked them that quickly?â
âJeremy just gifted me a pair of leather shoes. Theyâre both good looking and comfy, I thought our female employees could wear something like this Cornelia didnât realize how proud she sounded mentioning Jeremy, but Marcus noticed
His mood improved even more, and when heâs in a good mood, heâs ready to make big moves, âLetâs go with this style then. Also, the company will custom make two pairs of these shoes for each female employee Get the relevant department to collect their shoe sizes
Considering the size of the company, ordering two pairs for each woman, even at wholesale prices, would be a huge expense. This wasnât just showing his generosity, but also his understanding and respect for women.
Alright, Iâll shoot them an email right awayâ As Cornelia was about to leave, Marcus stopped her, âWrite the email here, let me see it before you send it
âSureâ Cornelia focused on her email, completely oblivious to Marcusâs gentle yet firm gaze on her.
He silently repeated her name in his heart, as if trying to etch âCorneliaâ deep within him, never to be forgotten.
Cornelia finished her email, and when she looked up, she was startled by Marcusâs intense yet gentle gaze, âMr. Hartley?â
âWhatâs up?â Marcusâs gaze quickly returned to its usual calm, making Cornelia wonder if she had imagined it all.
She just reminded herself not to overthink, and here she was, overthinking again!
Cornelia quickly snapped out of her own thoughts
Marcus calmly said, âGreat job, send it to the admin department. Let them handle it, you donât need to worry anymoreâ
Cornelia immediately hit the send button. The admin department quickly replied. âThis is great news for our female employees. Weâll let everyone know right away.â
Soon after, the Hartley Groupâs admin department released a new dress code, cancelling the requirement for female employees to wear high heels.
At events where high heels were previously required, female employees could now choose to wear high heels or flat leather shoes.
News of this made the female employees very happy
Even in the soundproof CEOâs office, they could hear some cheering
Cornelia said with a smile, âMr. Hartley, can you hear that? Those cheers are all because of you.â
Marcus stared into her bright eyes, softly asking, âAre you happy?â
