âMay | know who is asking?â âRen Husson,â he spoke in an authoritative voice.
The person whom he spoke with was so shocked that he stuttered, âOh, i-itâs the vice-president, sir. Yes, we have just completed the recruitment of six interns.â
âAdd one more. Name, Ruka Singed.â âOf course, of course. We'll add her immediately.â
Ren responded and then ended the call. He pondered for a bit before smirking. / have not seen this spoiled brat in years.
Scarletâs next call, though, was to Angela, who was in the midst of a departmental meeting. Daphne, hoping for her daughter to have experience in every department, assigned her to the project department so that she could develop her skills in all areas.
Since Angela became the department head upon her arrival, it was rather stressful for her. Yet, at that moment, she had forgotten entirely about her subordinates, as only Scarletâs voice remained in her mind.
âAngela, Richard has successfully completed his mission and is on his way home.â
Angela fell into tears at hearing this news and cried, âThat's wonderful, Ms. Husson!â
âPlease wait calmly for his return, as you two will be reunited soon.â
She felt utterly relieved. âSure, Ms. Husson. When the time comes, may | accompany you in picking him up?â
âOf course. When he arrives, | will definitely bring you along.â 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.
Angelaâs 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, âThe meeting is over for today. Todayâs lunch will be on me, so let's eat together.â
âWow!â 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.
Meanwhile, at Daphneâs office, a man in his early forties was sitting across from her. 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.
âPresident Meyers, | know that Miss Meyers is your daughter. But, arenât you worried that your company might be ruined for allowing her to manage such an important department?â Andy asked with a defiant expression.
âAndy, no matter what, she is my daughter. | believe | have a better understanding of my daughterâs potential than you do. After all, arenât you constantly looking for a new job? Iâm just helping you along,â Daphne responded calmly.
âPresident Meyers, over the course of all these years, Iâve assisted you with a great number of important projects; do you really think itâs appropriate for you to kick away the ladder now?â His eyes had a hint of threat in them, and he continued, âPeople who act like this often find themselves in trouble.â
âAndy Graham, are you threatening me right 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?â
Andy's face flushed with rage, and he glared at her. âPresident 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.â
âAndy Graham! What do you mean by that?â Daphne bellowed.
