The young man was at a loss for words before retaliating angrily, “I can’t believe you recorded the
meeting! Isn’t that against the law?”
The corner of Elisa’s lips twitched. “The law, you say?”
The look on everyone’s faces changed instantly.
One of the women who looked up to Elisa shot a sharp look at the young man. “Did you sleep enough
yesterday? How are you always so senseless? Ms. Benett is Iris – I think she knows very well what is
against the law and what is not!”
It was considered polite of her to not point out that he was an idiot.
“I…” he stuttered.
Meanwhile, Darell’s face darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThough Elisa did not mention his name, he was the one who came up with the recruitment process.
She’s implying that I’m incapable, isn’t she?
Underneath the table, his fists were clenched tightly as he struggled to reign in his anger.
“What are your thoughts on this, Mr. Anderson?” With that, Elisa glanced at him coolly.
This was not the first time he had opposed her ideas.
Though he was just a deputy manager, it was common knowledge that he had already hijacked the
manager’s responsibilities. Everyone in the department had to take his orders.
Everyone turned around to look at him.
He gritted his teeth before explaining, “I’m not accusing you of insulting me. I just think that there are
some problems with the candidate just now. He has such an erratic temper. I don’t understand why you
insisted on hiring him. Did he display such high moral values?”
Elisa retorted calmly, “He is slightly stubborn, but he isn’t unethical. One needs to think out of the box
when handling the mechanics of a machine. During the interview, he checked those boxes.”
The main reason Elisa was facing a backlash now was because of her status.
If Gareth had made the same decision, no one would complain. They would even praise him in an
attempt to suck up to him.
Yet, now that Elisa was taking the lead, everyone questioned her decisions.
If she was still married to Gareth, it was highly likely that no one would say a thing. Since she didn’t
have such a status now, everything was different.
Darell let out a cold snort. “Just do whatever you want.”
He obviously disagreed with her, but she ignored him and addressed the rest of the group.
“I know everyone is doubtful of my capabilities, seeing that I’ve just joined the company. I don’t care
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhat you think of me, and I won’t take it personally. Of course, I will never take revenge against
anyone. However, you must take my orders since you work for me.”
The last sentence was spoken with such authority that they felt a familiar sense of pressure.
Everyone jolted in their seats before realizing it was Elisa – not Gareth – standing in front of them.
The pressure they give out is so similar! It felt suffocating at that moment, and I almost forgot how to
breathe!
No one dared to say anything. Even Darell felt as though he was imprisoned, forgetting to protest
against her.
A sudden silence fell upon the room, but Elisa was not done with her speech.
As everyone held their breaths, she locked eyes with Darell indifferently.
