Chapter 89 The Great Boss
Sophie put her phone in speaker mode and stretched out before doing a split in the living
room.âHaven't we foreseen all of this, Ms. Lineker? You'll have a lot more to do in the upcoming
days. Once we get past this stretch, you and the team will be sent to holiday abroad." They have
been highly strung of late. It's about time they relaxed."Please take me under your wing, Ms.
Sophie.âAt that moment, Wilma felt so content and spoiled.How generous of Ms. Sophie to give us
a holiday abroad.âIs there anywhere you would like to go? Tell me if there is, and I will make the
arrangements for you.â"Sure."Wilma accepted the gesture graciously. As her team had been fraught
with worry over the launch, she naturally leaped at the opportunity to take them out for a break.âIs
there a budget?â she added as an afterthought. Transfix Cosmetics has been making a loss until
yesterday, after all. Though we have had an explosive start, it wouldn't do to go overboard."There is
no limit."Since I have made them that offer, I'm more than happy to pay for everything.On the other
end, Wilma covered her phone to seek suggestions from the rest."Ms. Sophie wants to treat us to a
trip abroad, girls. Is there any place you have in mind?"âWhat? All expenses covered?"âl haven't
misheard, have I? Is it a holiday oversea?"âExcellent! Let's go to Jinrich Island!"âJinrich Island it is,
then!""Would Jinrich Island be too expensive, though? We aren't exactly raking in the profits yet.â
Wilma felt the need to modulate their excitement.âYou're right. Why don't we go to Jinrich Island
after Transfix Cosmetics makes big money?"âMs. Lineker."Wilma removed her hand at Sophie's
voice.âI'd heard your conversation. Just go to Jinrich Island.â"Ms. Sophie-""Hang on a couple more
days. Leave the arrangements for the trip to me.ââI can do it, Ms. Sophie. There is no need for you to
do it personally.â Ms. Sophie is a busy woman with classes to attend.âIt's no problem. I can easily
book the tickets and hotel rooms online. We'll talk soon as I have to head to school.âAll right, Ms.
Tanner. Talk to you later."Wilma hung up and gazed at the faces alight with excitement."How did it
go?"âWe're going to Jinrich Island,â Wilma announced with a smile.I'm grateful to have chosen the
right employer. Though Ms. Sophie may look cold, she is kind to those loyal to her.âWe're going to
Jinrich Island!"âWe are! It's a pleasure to go on holiday with all of you."Gazing at the group's
excitement, Wilma felt that all their hard work was worth it.Cecelia heard the news of Transfix
Cosmeticsâ company trip to Jinrich Island and gazed at Sophie glumly.âI played a part in Transfix
Cosmeticsâ success too, Sophie! If your staff can go on holiday, what about me?âSophie gazed at
her.âHaven't you been to Jinrich Island many times before?"âSo what if I have? Are you that
reluctant to part with your money?"âFine, you can come too."Cecelia was satisfied. âThat's
better."Meanwhile, Ysabelle also caught wind of the trip to Jinrich Island and gazed at Sophie with
large, expectant eyes.After being subjected to such intense scrutiny for half an hour, Sophie could
not bear it any longer.â"What is it?"âAre you planning a trip to Jinrich Island, Soph?â Ysabelle asked
as she twiddled her fingers.Sophieâs gaze shifted from the anatomy chart on her book to her friend's
face."Yes?""I would like to join you.â I want to join her on her vacation. Otherwise, it feels like she has
abandoned me."You may."Geez, she could have just told me. Why did she have to stare at me like
that?Upon hearing from Ysabelle that she was going to Jinrich Island, Felix immediately relayed the
news to Tristan.âHow are you this calm, Mr. Tristan? Jinrich Island is the perfect place to develop a
romantic relationship. Are you really not going?"âYou are the one who wants to go, aren't you?â
Tristan retorted. Since Felix found out that Ysabelle was going to Jinrich Island, he had not stopped
talking about it.âYou're right. I admit that I badly want to go. It's meaningless to be working all the
time! What's the point of earning so much money if I don't enjoy myself? Going on a trip with
someone you like is a good opportunity to develop a romance.â"Usually,â he added sagely, âa
romantic spark is not found in familiar places, and going someplace new might just bring out the
romance in a different light."Being almost nineteen, Ysabelle is no longer a child. It is an
impressionable age when girls fall in love easily. If Mr. Tristan did not take advantage of his niece's
company when he still could, he would regret it when Ysabelle found someone she loved."We
should join them, Mr. Tristan.âYsabelle would not agree if I went alone.âMr. Tristan?"Felix was
annoyed at how transparent his thoughts were compared to his employer's.I can never fathom Mr.
Tristanâs thoughts...The sale of Transfix Cosmeticsâ new products had been skyrocketing. By that
point, it was almost impossible to obtain any ready stock.Wilma had the factory work three extra
shifts to produce the new stock.The new products of Transfix Cosmetics only took three days to
become the most popular series out of the companyâs entire catalog.As the date of their trip to
Jinrich Island drew closer, Wilma handed her tasks on hand to her trusted aide before heading to
Jinrich Island with the rest. Having agreed to meet at the airport, the girls were already there when
Wilma arrived.âOver here, Ms. Lineker."One of them saw Wilma from a distance and waved at
once.Wilma soon gathered with her team."Will Ms. Sophie be coming with us, Ms. Lineker?""Yes, she
will.â"Wonderfull Come, let's take a picture!â Photography was a popular activity for girls on an
outing.The girls huddled together for a selfie which one of them posted on Instagram.The caption
wrote: Throughout all the choices I have to make in life, I have never regretted choosing Transfix
Cosmetics. Though I expressed doubts back then, I have become more certain about my choice to
work for Ms. Sophie. She's taking us on a trip! It pays well to have an employer like Ms. Sophie.The
other girls supported her view by liking that post.On the other side of town, the girls who had
followed Rachel to found Dream Cosmetics were close to tears.The staff scheduled another press
conference to compensate for the pathetic end of the first one.Though they had extended the
invitation to many reporters to play safe, the response was tepid at best. And now we're working
overtime every single day.After finding the time to catch up on her social media, the first thing the
girl saw was the post about her ex-colleagues going on a tour abroad.âWhat are you looking at?â
asked another one of the girls as she leaned over. She, too, became depressed after viewing that
post."How nice it would be if we never left Transfix Cosmetics.â"It's too late to regret that
now."âThat's right. If it were not for Ms. Summers, we wouldn't have left Transfix Cosmetics.âWalking
in at that exact moment, Rachel heard them.âMs. Summers,â one of them exclaimed upon catching
sight of her employer. Dropping her gaze in terror, she dared not say another word.Rachel
scowled.âDo you think it is degrading to be working for me? Look at how jealous you are getting
over a trip abroad!"âThat's not what we meant, Ms. Summers.ââThen what exactly do you mean? You
are free to leave if you think Dream Cosmetics is holding you back.â
