“May | know who is asking?” “Ren Husson,” he spoke in an authoritative voice.
The person whom he spoke with was so shocked that he stuttered, “Oh, i-it's the vice-president, sir. Yes, we have just completed the recruitment of six interns.” “Add one more. Name, Ruka Singed.” “Of course, of course. We'll add her immediately.” Ren responded and then ended the call. He pondered for a bit before smirking. / have not seen this spoiled brat in years.

Since Angela becthe department head upon her arrival, it was rather stressful for her. Yet, at that moment, she had forgotten entirely about her subordinates, as only Scarlet’s voice remained in her mind.
“Angela, Richard has successfully completed his mission and is on his way home.” Angela fell into tears at hearing this news and cried, “That's wonderful, Ms. Husson!” “Please wait calmly for his return, as you two will be reunited soon.” She felt utterly relieved. “Sure, Ms. Husson. When the tcomes, may | accompany you in picking him up?” “Of course. When he arrives, | will definitely bring you along.” Scarlet knew that Richard was no longer attached to her but to Angela..
Angela had been tormented by insomnia for the past half month, as the mental tension she was experiencing prevented her from falling asleep without medication.
Her mother was worried that she was about to have a nervous breakdown. At that moment, this joyful news relieved all of her concerns. She was previously in pain regularly. Finally, the good news she had been expecting arrived today.
Angela's subordinates were puzzled by her outbursts of emotion. Then, when she realized she was in the middle of a meeting, she took a tissue from her assistant to wipe away her tears and said, “The meeting is over for today. Today's lunch will be on me, so let's eat together.” “Wow!” Everyone applauded enthusiastically; ever since she took over this project department, they had been receiving numerous benefits and working in a much more relaxed atmosphere.

He sported an expensive watch, wore clothing from a well-known brand, and was impeccably dressed. It was Andy Graham, the previous general manager of the project department, who she had just terminated from his position.
“President Meyers, | know that Miss Meyers is your daughter. But, aren't you worried that your company might be ruined for allowing her to manage such an important department?” Andy asked with a defiant expression.
“Andy, no matter what, she is my daughter. | believe | have a better understanding of my daughter's potential than you do. After all, aren't you constantly looking for a new job? I'm just helping you along,” Daphne responded calmly.
“President Meyers, over the course of all these years, I've assisted you with a great number of important projects; do you really think it's appropriate for you to kick away the ladder now?” His eyes had a hint of threat in them, and he continued, “People who act like this often find themselves in trouble.” “Andy Graham, are you threateningright now? Since you claim that | am kicking away the ladder, then perhaps we should discuss the various sneaky tricks that you have been pulling behind my back for such a long time. With all of the kickbacks you've been receiving, | believe you should be able to afford a brand-new house. What else are you not satisfied with?” Andy's face flushed with rage, and he glared at her. “President Meyers, you were lucky enough to walk away from that car accident without any serious injuries. Next time, be extra cautious and aware of your surroundings on the road.” “Andy Graham! What do you mean by that?” Daphne bellowed.
