“I don’t care how things worked when you were in charge, Mr. Anderson. Now that I’m taking the lead, I
will oversee everything,” she said in a firm, determined voice, making him look even more sullen.
Then, she shifted her gaze to look at everyone, “Gareth Wickam asked you to take my orders. I hope
you keep that in mind. I won’t let this project fail. Even if we lose money, it’s still his fault – he’s an idiot
with way too much money anyway. Since he chooses to trust me, you have to follow suit and take my
orders.”
She sounded cocky, but no one thought of her that way because they were mesmerized by her.
Wow! She dares to address Mr. Wickam by his full name and even calls him an idiot.
They felt slightly conflicted when they thought about that.
Apart from that, Thomas is still here! Wouldn’t he report this to Mr. Wickam?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that thought in mind, they turned around to look at Thomas but were baffled when they realized he
was trying to hold back a smile.
???
One of them felt the urge to ask, ‘How long can you hold that for? If not, feel free to laugh out loud.’
What is going on?
Seeing how everyone turned around to look at Thomas, Elisa felt something was up. She observed him
from the corner of her eyes and glimpsed the occasional grin on his face.
Regardless, she didn’t comment on it.
After retracting her gaze, she continued, “You may freely share any suggestions, but I disagree with
people who slander others. If this happens again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
What is she going to do about it?
Right when everyone was wondering, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Though shocked, the crowd felt as though their life savior had arrived.
Gareth appeared in a smart, black suit. Standing at almost two meters, his broad shoulders and
comparatively slender waist made him look appealing. His handsome face, especially, could send girls
into a frenzy.
Though he was usually arrogant and indifferent, no one thought badly of him.
After all, he had the power to act in that manner.
The crowd did not dare to look him straight in the eye. As their eyes secretly followed him around, he
sat next to Elisa.
Though Elisa was the host of the meeting, she didn’t sit in the main seat. She sat to the right of his
usual seat.

it?”
Does Mr. Wickam disagree with her? They thought in surprise. That’s great news! I hope he fires her
immediately! I want her out of this company!
Darell looked at them expectantly, but he didn’t dare to complain to Gareth about her. What if the
situation is not as I expected?
Everyone enjoyed seeing Elisa being put on the spot. Let’s see how she’ll get away with this now!
Under everyone’s attention, she replied coolly, “I’ll ask them to go to the finance department to get their
severance pay.”
What the hell? She’s too cocky!
