Jasper stated with a grin, “This flavor is its favorite. Bring this brand of dog food back later, Ms. Lawrence.”

Genevieve nodded and looked at the miniature version of the mansion prepared as a luxury kennel next to it.

She bestowed upon Jasper a look of profound satisfaction before carrying the golden retriever into the office.

NOW THE

The little golden retriever calmed down after eating. It sluggishly rolled over, exposing its round belly, and playfully stuck out its tongue to act coquettishly.

Genevieve was very happy and rubbed it a bit more.

Jeffrey nudged the door open and stepped inside. He noticed that Genevieve wasn’t engaged in anything significant. He was on the verge of addressing her when Genevieve lifted the golden retriever into view and said, “Hurry up. Greet Uncle Jeffrey.”

Jeffrey was at a loss for words.

He walked over speechlessly, glanced at the little golden retriever, and couldn’t help laughing. “This is the first time we’ve met. Do I need to prepare a gift for it?”

With a smile, Genevieve gently pressed the tiny paw of the golden retriever against his hand. “Quickly thank Uncle Jeffrey!”

With a speechless smile, Jeffrey ran his fingers through its golden hair.

Yet, the small golden retriever found no pleasure in his coarse touch. It turned over to the other side of the desk, -playing with Genevieve’s tiny ornament.

“Where did you pick it up?” asked Jeffrey.

Genevieve smiled and replied, “At the entrance of the bar. I’m planning to adopt it. Do you want to name it?”

After pondering briefly, Jeffrey suggested, “Money?”

THIS IS Genevieve retorted, “This is low. Let’s name it Goldie!”

Jeffrey agreed, though with reluctance.

Shortly thereafter, Genevieve took some pictures of Goldie and shared them in the family chat group: [Welcome my beloved pet, Goldie Lawrence!]

Samantha supported her and responded: (Wow! So cute! I’m going to buy some clothes for Goldie.]

Darrell replied: [Wow, my grandson is so adorable!]

Jeffrey was about to join the conversation but stopped when he saw his parents were already too enthusiastic, so he put his phone away.

‘No way!‘ he thought, unable to utter those words against his will.

But soon, Jeffrey received a call from Samantha. “Haven’t you seen the pictures of Gen’s new pet? Why are you quiet? Do you not like the new family member? Are you worried that Goldie will take your place?”

Jeffrey was speechless and claimed he didn’t see it.

Then, he quickly transferred money to Genevieve and mentioned it in the group chat: [Buy some clothes for Goldie!]

After that, Genevieve immediately replied: [Thank you from Goldie.]

Jeffrey was speechless.

Being a brother was difficult, but being an uncle was just as hard.

He quickly packed his things at the office. If he delayed, it would cost more.

Jeffrey headed to the airport after getting everything in order.

After he left, Genevieve had to finish her work.

However, Genevieve was happier with Goldie around.

She bought expensive dog food and supplements regardless of the cost.

However, after Jeffrey left, some people started to take action.

Nearly half of the employees from all departments were absent at the next day’s morning meeting.

Genevieve sat in Jeffrey’s seat and waited for over ten minutes. Only a few employees showed up.

Jasper

was displeased outside the conference room. He thought, ‘They don’t care about Genevieve at all. Are they out of their minds?‘

Twenty minutes later, Genevieve checked the time and smiled kindly at the employees. “We won’t wait anymore. Jasper, call them one by one here.”

Everyone was startled.

The conference room was quiet, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

They were confused by what the new CEO did.

Some employees did not attend because they doubted that a former entertainment company director could become the president of Lawrence Group.

Some employees intentionally made things difficult for her.

After all, Jeffrey couldn’t protect her forever.

Jasper calmly reached out and turned on the speaker.

Eric Lawson, the project department director, picked it up casually, “I’m sorry, Jasper. I sprained my ankle and can’t come. Please say sorry to Ms. Lawrence for me.”

Jasper glanced at Genevieve and replied politely, “Mr. Lawson, today’s important meeting involves your department’s cooperation. Your presence would be highly valued.”

Eric chuckled. “What’s so important? I’ve been in the company for a long time and have dealt with tens of billions of dollars of projects. Ms. Lawrence’s projects are trivial. Why should I bother going there? Besides, let’s put that project on hold. We have more pressing projects to complete.”

The conference room became so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

They quietly stared at Genevieve, afraid to even breathe deeply.

She was calm and composed, showing no sign of anger.

But they were worried about Eric. He likely didn’t realize his call was on speaker.

Jasper gazed at Genevieve with a complex look.

Genevieve calmly took the phone and said, “Mr. Lawson, since you sprained your ankle, take a long vacation to recover. You don’t need to come in for the next six months. Your assistant director Maxwell will cover for you

temporarily.”

The harsh words shocked everyone in the conference room.

A new boss came in aggressively, and Eric had landed himself in trouble.

Genevieve was kind and giving, and she seemed approachable, but her words were unexpectedly shocking even though she said them with a smile.

This was to set an example for others by punishing one person.

Some employees were eager to inform those who hadn’t arrived yet.

Eric laughed after being silent on the phone for a few seconds. “Ms. Lawrence, it’s good to have you here. But it wouldn’t be right for me to take a long vacation, and Jeffrey wouldn’t approve. If you can, try to fire me. The board of directors won’t agree!”

The arrogance in his voice was palpable, even through the phone.

Genevieve let out a laugh, looked around at others, and said indifferently, “Given the gravity of the current situation, I’m going to be direct now, Mr. Lawson. As a shareholder of Lawrence Group, I am formally notifying you that you have been dismissed.”

Then, she hung up the phone.

Her mesmerizing eyes sparkled with serene radiance.

She dressed casually and simply, yet her presence was unmistakable.

It was very quiet, and everyone was nervous for no clear reason.

Any individual could hold the position of CEO at Lawrence Group, but becoming a shareholder in the company was a considerably more challenging feat, as it required significant financial investment.

After a second thought, the crowd became more respectful and careful around Genevieve.

Jasper’s phone abruptly rang with a callback, but he immediately disconnected the call.

Undoubtedly, Eric was feeling anxious.

Genevieve checked the time. She was not upset, angry, or overly emotional.

She spoke softly and calmly. “Please inform everyone that should they choose not to attend, they are expected

to submit their resignation letters. The company employs you to follow instructions, not to cause problems. Anyone as rebellious as Mr. Lawson will meet the same fate.””
