Gareth’s gaze landed on Elisa. Even though he didn’t say a word, she could feel the thick sarcasm in
his eyes.
Nevertheless, she ignored him and looked at the manager from the planning department instead.
“Why did you shift the tasks around?”
The manager quickly explained, “Everyone excels at different things. Since there are some changes in
the project, we decided to work on the tasks that suit us most.”
Gareth glanced at him coldly. “And the result is?”
Realizing something was off, and the manager didn’t dare to look at Gareth. Instead, he turned to Elisa,
whose face also carried a bleak expression.
A shiver traveled down his spine. Oh no! I thought we would get better results that way, and I might

I’m doomed!
With such thoughts in mind, his legs trembled.
Elisa remained silent, while the manager had no idea what had gone wrong.
No one else dared to say anything. All the employees in the planning department panicked, their hearts
palpitating wildly.
Though they were just following orders, they were still from the planning department.
Immediately, Gareth asked, “This is the result you promised, eh?”
Elisa knew the odds were stacked against her. Gareth let her drive the project, but she didn’t realize the
manager acted on his own accord. She had to take responsibility for that.
Without any explanation, she nodded. “I’ve overlooked this.”
Gareth’s frown deepened. He expected her to explain the situation.
However, without waiting for his reply, she looked at the team from the planning department.
“You shifted people around and exchanged tasks with another department, delaying our progress and
reducing efficiency. You didn’t come up with the design or the plan, and now we have to call off our
current plan. Now both departments have to work overtime to get back on track. Do you have any
objections?”
Everyone was speechless upon hearing that.
What the hell? She resembles Mr. Wickam so much when she asks us to work overtime!
Gareth pursed his lips quietly. He was clear on the boundary between work and personal life. He
wouldn’t unleash his anger toward Elisa at work, but he felt annoyed at her calm and efficient way of
handling things.

anything, though they were unhappy about it.
They directed their anger at the manager from the planning department. All he had to do was to follow
orders. Why did he make his own decision? Now we have to work overtime because of him!
The manager panicked and quickly said, “I’m sorry for my mistake. I’m willing to work overtime without
getting overtime pay. It’s because of my negligence, after all. I’ll pay for everyone’s overtime pay as
well.”
Elisa replied calmly, “It’s fine. Just carry out the work as you’re supposed to. I’ll take responsibility for
this.”
With that, she implied that she would pay everyone’s overtime fees out of her own money.
The edges of his face hardened.
