Hmph! Whatever! I have nothing to be afraid of.
Half an hour was soon over. Everyone made their way to the meeting room.
When Elisa arrived, the room was already occupied. Everyone greeted her again when they saw her.
Though exasperated, she couldn’t do anything about it.
A few more people arrived, followed by Gareth and Thomas, who were the last.
Elisa was the only person in the room who didn’t look at them.
Gareth’s broad shoulders and lean waist made him look even more indifferent in a suit. There was a
grim look on his face, and his eyes exuded coldness. His tightly pursed lips accentuated the icy vibes
he had been giving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe women in the room no longer dared to look at him, each lowering her head.
As soon as he entered, he looked at Elisa, who was seated right next to the main seat.
She was reading the documents in front of her calmly, but he could still feel the distance between them.
Gareth frowned and sat down next to her while everyone held their breaths.
He was not someone to be crossed, especially at that moment.
Everyone was perplexed to see that. With Ms. Benett here, he should be in a good mood. Why is he so
terrifying today?
The people sitting close to him felt like they were frozen in their seats.
Is it because Ms. Benett rejected him? That seems plausible.
Some of them looked at Elisa begrudgingly. He is such a decent person. Why didn’t she accept him?
Now, we have to suffer because of that. I can already imagine how we would be criticized later. If all our
proposals are going to be shot down later, we have to spend the next few days rewriting them. This is
tough…
Since everyone had already arrived, Thomas looked at Elisa and announced, “Ms. Benett, we can start
now. Can you report the latest progress in the project? Perhaps each department manager can also
give an update.”
Elisa said calmly, “Let’s start from the human resource department.”
The human resource department manager froze upon hearing that.
Though he was grateful that Elisa gave him the opportunity first, he felt nervous about Gareth’s
presence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNevertheless, he braved his insecurities and cleared his throat.
“After the commencement of the project, we have changed how we recruit people. Right now, we have
already recruited…”
He reported the statistics and numbers fearfully. Nevertheless, it was already expected of the
employees who worked with Gareth to produce good results.
It didn’t alleviate his nervousness that he was not an exception to that expectation. After he finished
speaking, he still felt his hands trembling.
The subsequent manager took the baton and started taking turns reporting to Gareth.
Though everyone had a good report, Elisa frowned when she heard some minor mistakes.
Meanwhile, Gareth’s face grew more solemn.
