NovelEnglishRyan sprang to his feet, shieldingas tea splashed onto his back. He let out a muffled groan.
There were gasps in the conference room. I quickly checked on Ryan, relieved that the water wasn't too hot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI pushed Ryan away, slamming the table and startling everyone. Even Nelson trembled, his eyes flickering as he looked at me.
"This is outrageous! I did not expect such uncivilized behavior from Bourdamun managers. It's no surprise that Bourdamun has been stuck in the past. It is stifling Orlinda's entire economy. It's all because of people with narrow minds like you!" My words left everyone in the room stunned, especially Nelson's people, who turned pale.
Nelson had acted like a tyrant and becthe unquestioned ruler.
"How dare you speak tolike that, you little brat? You've gone too far!" He yelled it while pointing at me.
"Security! Restrain her. She's out of control," he barked. "Unbelievable! Tell me, where did she cfrom? She couldn't have had a good upbringing if she's that rude." His yelling echoed in the conference room, and even his people dared not breathe. Swere subtly signaling tonot to confront him.

Let's see if his age alone makes him qualified, or if our world-famous qualifications stack up against Bourdamun's local construction team. My voice was loud, and my words were articulate. I leaned on our qualifications. The ATL Empire's design institute boasted true global recognition.
"If the CEO says Tanum is not qualified to take over this project, I will take my elite team and leave!" After my declaration, I sat down and stared assertively at the former authority figure.
