Seeing as everyone was speechless, Ashwin had no choice but to speak up. “Miss Young, we trust Mis s Summers’s ability beyond a shadow of a doubt, but-”

Iris, however, interrupted him before he could say anything, “I don’t want to hear any buts! It was Leon

who secured the contract with the Wick Group, so it stands to reason that this cooperation ought to be

entrusted to him! The bottom line is this: I’ve already made up my mind, and all discussion about this m atter is to end. here!” Iris slammed the table and made a final decision.

“I… Alright.” Ashwin’s expression soured and he slumped back somewhat embarrassedly.

He initially planned to join hands with several executives to put pressure on Leon and attempt to force

Leon into relinquishing that authority. Little did he expect that Iris would value Leon so much more than he imagined, even to the extent of giving it her all to defend Leon and waste all of Ashwin’s efforts.

However, he was not one to give up so easily, so he quietly looked at George Proctor, the director of th e research and development department. George was a middle–aged man in his 50s with a medium–

fat build. He looked like he was the kind of guy who grew accustomed to living the high life.

“Miss Young, there’s one more thing I’d like to discuss.” George stood up, with his belly jutting out as a

result.

“Yes, Mister Proctor. What is it?” Iris asked.

“Miss Young, I have no objection over your decision to let Mister Wolf have full authority over the coope ration with the Wick Group. However, nothing good can be done in absence of rules and regulations. I

heard that Mister Wolf went to the factory and intervened with the production and our department’s har d work under the guise of supplying the products. This behavior is unethical! You need to stand up for the R- and–D department’s people, Miss Young!” George complained. He blinked his small eyes as if he suffered. the worst humiliation.

“About that…” A frown appeared on Iris’s beautiful face. She knew about Leon’s plan to increase the refining efficiency and develop cosmeceuticals, and his involvement in those matters whic h are not within his responsibility could be construed as exceeding his authority. Things would have be en all fine and dandy if the people in the research and development department turned a blind eye to it, but alas, the director decided to complain about it to her.

As a result, Iris was put in a tight spot.

Leon stood up and said, “Mister Proctor, I know that my behavior might’ve been inappropriate, and I sin cerely apologize to everyone in the R–and–

D department. However, we’re all working for the same company, and I believe the research and devel opment of cosmeceuticals are intrinsically linked to the company’s benefits. All in all, there doesn’t see m to be any conflict considering that our goals are at the same.”

“What do you mean there’s no conflict?” George shot back, “First of all, you’re shouldering a heavy res ponsibility as the person in charge of the cooperation with the Wick Group. There are already a lot of important things for you to do, yet you’re interfering with the affai rs of the other departments. Such an act amounts to a dereliction of duty!”

“Secondly,” George added, “meddling in the affairs of the R–and–D department is no different from VHURILE LUJ questioning our capabilities. You’re implying that people in our department are incompetent!

Ariel was not pleased to hear that. “I don’t agree with your statement, Mister Proctor! If I remember correctly, Miss Young approved a significant amount of research and development funding as early as h
