Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 59: New Contracts for All

Finishing her speech, Eleanor stepped down from the podium and returned to her seat. The employees watched

her in stunned silence as Teresa Li walked up to the podium, wearing a professional smile.

"Everyone, please remain seated," Teresa announced. "The Chairman will now leave, but our legal team will

arrive shortly. Each of you will have the opportunity to sign a new employment agreement, reflecting updated

salaries, benefits, and responsibilities. If you have any questions, you may address them directly to our legal

team. Thank you."

She paused for a moment, letting the words settle, before adding with a small grin, "NexaByte, welcto

Heimdall."

After saying that, she walked toward Eleanor, glanced briefly at her phone, and said in a low voice, "Boss, we're

ready to go."

Eleanor stood up gracefully, her calm gaze sweeping across the employees one last tbefore she began

walking out of the conference room. Teresa, Joseph, Ava, and the other directors followed closely behind her.

Just as Eleanor was about to leave through the main door, Daan Hendriks, who had been battling with a growing

sense of panic, suddenly stood up from his seat. Without thinking, he rushed towards the door, only to be

stopped abruptly by two bodyguards standing like statues.

"Please, | need to speak with the Chairman! It's an urgent matter! Please letpass!" he pleaded, desperation

thick in his voice.

But the guards remained unmoved. They had clear instructions: without Ava Martin's permission, no one was

allowed to leave the conference room.

By then, Eleanor and her group had already walked a fair distance away. However, her super-sensitive hearing

caught the commotion behind. Out of curiosity, she paused and turned slightly to look back.

Everyone behind her stopped as well, their eyes naturally following her line of sight. They saw Daan frantically

trying to reason with the guards, his face filled with anxiety.

A flash of memory passed through Eleanor’s mind. She recognized Daan, he was the man who had been with

Willow White at the Louis Vuitton store during the embarrassing incident.

Calmly, she asked Ava, "Who is he?"

Ava glanced at the man before replying, "His nis Daan Hendriks, General Manager of the Logistics

Department.”

"Is he competent?" Eleanor asked, her tone neutral but curious.

"His performance is excellent. Everyone likes him," Ava replied without hesitation.

At that moment, Dennis West, one of the directors who had been silent all along, spoke up, "He's a very

competent worker. In fact, | promoted him to his current position because of his dedication and hard work,

despite his lack of formal academic qualifications."

Eleanor considered it briefly, then said, "Alright. Let's hear what he has to say."

Ava nodded and walked toward the guards. She gave a slight hand signal, and they immediately stepped aside,

allowing Daan to pass.

He hurried toward Ava, breathing a sigh of relief. "Thank you," he whispered.

Then, gathering his courage, he asked, "May | speak with the Chairman, please?"

Ava nodded, knowing Eleanor was willing to hear him out. "Cwith me," she said.

As they approached the group, Daan looked Eleanor straight in the eyes. His heart sank a little when he saw no

recognition in her stone-cold green gaze. Clearly, the incident at the store was a mere blip on her radar,

something she had long forgotten.

Nevertheless, he steeled himself. He had decided he would cclean... whatever the consequences.

Before anyone could prompt him, he began speaking.

"Chairman... no, Ma'am, | have a confession to make," he said, his voice slightly trembling. "You might not

remember someone as insignificant as me, but a few days ago, there was an unpleasant incident involving you

at the Louis Vuitton store. My girlfriend caused a scene. | didn’t directly participate, but... | was there. | want to

apologize for that."

A murmur spread among the directors. Even Teresa and Ava looked surprised. They hadn't expected this kind of

revelation.

Daan, now staring at the floor, continued, "My wife remarried a long tago. My two children are living in

university dormitories. I've been alone. At a party, | met that woman... We got involved after a night of drinking.

She was young, and |, foolishly, let her into my life."

He paused, taking a deep breath.

"I knew she was withonly for my money. There was never much emotional involvement. | was simply...

enjoying the company. But | love my job here. NexaByte was my first employer, and I've dedicated my entire

professional life to this company. | don’t want to lose it because of one foolish mistake."

He lifted his eyes again, pleading silently. "I'll break up with her today. | swear. Please... letstay."

A heavy silence fell.

The directors exchanged looks; swere confused, others curious. Teresa and Ava remained quiet, though

there was a subtle gleam of admiration in their eyes for his honesty.

Eleanor, on the other hand,

maintained her icy composure.

Without any hint of emotion, she said

With that, Eleanor turned around and stepped into the waiting elevator. The others followed silently.

Daan stood there for a long moment, feeling both relieved and humbled. He slowly returned to the conference

room, his steps lighter than before.

Once everyone was settled, Ava walked to the podium and spoke briskly.

"Before we proceed, may | ask if anyone wishes to leave the company rather than sign the new contract?" she

asked, scanning the room.

No hands were raised.

Nodding in satisfaction, Ava continued, "Very well. We will call you individually. When your nis called, please

stand up and collect your employment folder from the legal team."

Names were called one by one. As each employee stood, a lawyer handed them a folder with their nclearly

printed on it.
