Secret Marriage, High-Profile Pampering!-Chapter 648 Another Punishment
The next day, she was late again!
By the time she arrived at the company, it was already two-thirty in the afternoon.
This can’t even be considered as tardiness, it’s considered absenteeism!
Summer Sutton was especially embarrassed and hadn’t stopped complaining about Adrian Walyon all the way there. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The department manager checked his wristwatch, his face tightened again and again.
"Miss Sutton, it’s already afternoon," he reminded her with a stern face.
"Manager, I was wrong. I’ll come in a few hours early every day tomorrow and the day after, and I won’t take any breaks. I’ll make up for the few mornings I’ve been absent, okay?" Summer Sutton admitted, her attitude genuinely sincere.
"Miss Sutton!" The manager placed the documents in his hand down with a clatter and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, reminding her, "Every company has its own rules. If everyone who was late made up for it like you suggest, what would we need the clock-in system for? What are the rules set for?"
What he said was valid.
Summer Sutton hung her head and said nothing.
She was late first, and if she got scolded or punished today, she’d accept it.
The manager stared at her for a good while, his fingertips continuously massaging his temples.
He seemed to be quite troubled by Summer Sutton, especially since this wasn’t the first time she was late.
She was still a newbie, not even considered a formal employee yet, and how many times had she been late since she joined Royal Delight?
Summer Sutton’s tardiness was truly unintentional; each time it was due to Adrian Walyon’s excessive demands.
Before she encountered Adrian, she was known as a model student, never late from childhood to adulthood.
But ever since Adrian appeared in her life, Summer Sutton has been late for classes, late for work, late for gatherings with friends, and when she was in the Walyon Family, she needed to get up early every day to greet the elders and was still late.
She seems to have not been on time for quite a while.
Summer Sutton even thought, if one day she was dismissed from Royal Delight, it definitely wouldn’t be because of her capability issues, the biggest reason would probably be Adrian.
The manager continued to look at her, casting glances at her repeatedly before saying with a stern face, "Just as well, the company is shooting a scene today, and they’re short-handed on-site, why don’t you go lend a hand!"
This was his punishment for Summer Sutton; she had been late too many times and the manager didn’t know what else to do with her...
Summer Sutton was indeed excessively late today, undeniably at fault.
She accepted the manager’s arrangement.
"Alright." Without saying much more, she simply asked the manager for the specific location of the set and hurried to the scene.
The snow had stopped today, but it was still very cold outside.
Summer Sutton sneezed just as she walked out of the company building.
The manager only asked her to go to the set, but Summer Sutton didn’t know who was filming there.
When she hailed a cab and arrived, she unexpectedly found that the female lead was Lorraine Hughes.
The filming site was outdoors, at a location scattered with variously sized lakes.
Because of the cold weather, all the lake surfaces had frozen over today.
When Summer Sutton arrived, Lorraine Hughes was filming a scene with the male lead, running on the ice.
Summer Sutton checked with the director what she needed to do when she got there. The director just threw her a line, "Wherever there are people in need, go there."
Summer Sutton could only wander around the site, finding tasks for herself to do.
The weather today wasn’t just cold; the snow had stopped, yet it was even colder than yesterday.
During filming, Lorraine Hughes was so cold that she couldn’t stop shivering.
