Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 657

Chapter 657 You Should Stay At Home!

Back at the secretaries' office, Annette saw that everyone was busy at work.

She smacked her table to get everyone's attention, then said exaggeratedly, "Hey, I have sjuice news to tell all of you! Just now, I saw the acting CEO reprimanding Ms. Laviere! She even said that Ms. Laviere's bid proposal is imperfect. What a joke! No one in T Corporation dares to question Ms. Laviere's capabilities. Who does that newbie think she is?"

The other two secretaries covered their mouths and chuckled when they heard Annette's description.

Only Tina continued typing in front of her computer, fully focused on her work.

Secretary A stretched, yawned, and took out a powder puff to apply smake-up to her face. "Does she think that she's the CEO just by sitting in that chair? Can she even stay in that chair for long?" "Who knows? I saw that she signed many contracts and documents, but I’m sure that she's only pretending."

Secretary B pushed her glasses and guessed, "Our CEO’s capabilities are legendary, so his wife should be equally capable too. Why would a wealthy family accept that woman if she's brainless? I can also see that our acting CEO is quite talented in architectural design. She should be capable of managing a business as well.”

Annette rolled her eyes at Secretary B. "Or so you think! She looked so frail and delicate. What capabilities can she possibly have? Don't you know, I’ve seen her sitting on Mr. Crawford's lap several times when I went into the CEO's office. She was half undressed and was trying to distract Mr. Crawford from her work! Do you think that our noble CEO would be tempted by such a vile woman?"

Then, Annette looked around to make sure that no one else had entered the room and lowered her voice. "I've heard that Mr. Crawford has given that woman 90% of his property. Wouldn't you expect that he leaves his property to his mother or children? Do you think that the woman might have secretly amended Mr. Crawford's will?" "Oh my god!" Secretary A's jaw dropped. "That’s sensational news! How scheming that woman is to amend Mr. Crawford's will! That's unbelievable!"

Secretary B did not readily believe it. "That shouldn't be, right? Is it that easy to amend a will? Moreover, she's bearing Mr. Crawford's child and will be delivering the baby soon..."

Annette continued, "Who knows? Maybe she's involved in Mr. Crawford’s death!"

Tina, who had been keeping quiet, slammed the table with a pen and said unhappily to the other secretaries, "You're not paid to gossip on company time, and you should know the consequences if our acting CEO finds out that you’ve been talking behind her back. Looks like our acting CEO needs to assign more work to you..."

Compared to the other secretaries, Tina was closer to Bianca. To her, Bianca was gentle, courteous, empathic, and easy-going.

Bianca was not an opportunistic woman like what the other women were saying.

She spoke out because she could not stand the other secretaries slandering Bianca.

The office instantly resumed its silence. Secretaries A and B did not dare to retort.

The secretaries were not divided by rank, and Tina shared equal responsibility with the other secretaries, but Tina was the most capable one, and the others respected her authority.

Only Annette shot a disdainful glance at Tina.

’Do you think that you can get on Bianca’s good side by siding with her? In your dreams!

Td be grateful if that woman doesn't wreck the company.'

Mavis had a gloomy expression on her face as she stepped out of the

CEO's office. How dare Bianca say that her proposal was imperfect?

No one ever said that to her, including Mr. Crawford. At most, he would give her ssuggestions.

That woman even boasted that she would win that plot of land at Draco Lake too!

Mavis would like to see Bianca go against the ruthless Blatt Corporation and the resulting humiliation!

The emergency general meeting of T Corporation started at ten o'clock sharp.

Jason had informed everyone of Luke’s passing and will.

The news that Bianca Rayne was elected as acting CEO was shocking, especially to the major shareholders who were vying for the position.

All the shareholders were waiting in the conference room on the acting CEO's first day at work.

The atmosphere in the conference room was somber. The shareholders whispered to one another.

Many people were contemptuous when they saw the pregnant Bianca walk into the room and sit at the head position.

Jenson Zook, a senior member in T Corporation's board of directors, grunted coldly and said sarcastically, "I say, Mrs. Crawford, don't you know the time? Everyone here is waiting for you. Do you think that you're fit to lead T Corporation if you can’t show up to your first general meeting on time? Just stay at hand take care of your children!"

The other people laughed when they heard his words. The people in Jenson's gang also started to speak up.

"Mr. Crawford is a punctual man. He never arrives late, even by one minute.

It's true that women love to dawdle!" "You must be deliberately stalling for time, right? Do you even know what happens at a general meeting? If that's the case, you should've stayed out of this!"

Now that Luke was gone, they mocked Bianca openly without considering that she was still the acting CEO.

Moreover, the woman looked frail. They did not think that she could do anything to them.

Louis looked at Bianca worriedly. He began to regret involving Bianca in this mess.

His sister-in-law would not have to suffer such humiliation if he were more capable.

He had the urge to tape up the mouths of all those shareholders who think that they knew better because they were older!

All the major shareholders had different motives. Swanted to gain positions of power, while some hoped to dump their shares and bail from the sinking ship. Sobserved quietly before they made their minds.

There were ten shareholders present at the general meeting.

Four of them were veterans from Crawford Industries. Three younger ones worked closely together with Luke to grow the business.

Three more were major investors in the corporation.

Those that looked down on Bianca were the veterans along with Jenson, while the younger shareholders did not say anything as they quietly observed Bianca.

They wondered if the young woman had the capability to take on the responsibility as T Corporation's CEO.
