Chapter 78 Summoned Back to the CEO
âGlacier Lakeâs plan? What does that have to do with me resigning?â Wanda rested her chin in her hands, her expression a mix of confusion and bewilderment.
Judy eagerly provided an explanation, her eyes twinkling with excitement. âWanda, listen up! Gwyneth has just taken the reins as the CEO of Glen Corporation, and sheâs determined to handle the Glacier Lake project all by hersell. Can you imagine?â Judyâs voice carried a playful undertone.
She aimed to include Wanda in her inner circle, making her future endeavors smoother. She continued, âIf Gwyneth continues to push ahead with this solo act, our company will be on the verge of bankruptcy. Thatâs why we need to âlend her a handâ.â
In response to Judyâs words, Wanda cut to the chase. âHow can we help?â
âOf course, itâs by finding out about her plan. That way, weâll secure our position, reap the benefits, and make your days much brighter,â Judy replied.
Lost in thought, Wanda lowered her head. Judy wore a selfâsatisfied smile as she observed Wanda, discreetly signaling the server to take their orders without interrupting Wandaâs contemplation..
Once their dishes were served and the server departed, Wanda finally raised her head. âJudy, I appreciate your help. I now understand what needs to be done.â
âYouâre a smart girl and I trust your expertise in navigating each step better than anyone else.â Judy said, raising her glass in a toast to Wanda.
Judy drank half of her glass of red wine, while Wanda merely took a sip. As the glasses settled on the table, Wandaâs brow remained creased with concern.
âI know itâs too early to ask this now, but if I succeedâ¦â
Judy interjected, her tone laced with arrogance. âYou will remain a secretary.â She gulped down the remaining red wine, her demeanor exuding confidence. âBut youâll either be my secretary or my fatherâs secretary.â
Although Judy wore a conceited expression, Wandaâs furrowed brows revealed a slight hint of unease, unnoticed by her companion.
Wanda then asked, âWell, what about our CEO, Gwyneth Glenâ¦â She anxiously nibbled on her lip, anticipation radiating from her.
As expected, Judy burst into laughter, perhaps fueled by the effects of the alcohol or the prospect of success. âWhere will Gwyneth be then? That bitch wonât be anywhere near Glen Corporation.â
âAlright then, I understand,â Wanda replied, raising her glass once more in a toast to Judy. She took another small sip, barely wetting her
lips.
The following day, during work hours, Wanda called Judy, and they arranged to meet in the same break room.
âWanda, why are you calling me at this hour?â Judyâs tone carried a hint of displeasure, as she couldnât help but feel summoned and ordered around by Wandaâs unexpected call.
Wanda smiled mysteriously and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket. âJudy, this is for you.â
âWhat is this?â Judy took the paper from Wandaâs hand, a look of confusion on her face. She quickly scanned its contents, and her gaze became transfixed. âThâThis is the plan for Glacier Lake prepared by Gwyneth?â
âYes, sheâs currently in a meeting. Since she doesnât require my presence, I took the opportunity to make a copy.â Wanda explained, her excitement shining through her expression.
In Judyâs eyes, Wanda seemed lost in a reverie, still holding on to the idea of being a CEOâs secretary. Judy silently thought to herself, âThis girl is naive. My father and I would never hire someone who previously worked for Gwyneth.â
The meeting between the two didnât linger any longer. Wanda was afraid of raising Gwynethâs suspicion, so she handed the documents to Judy and quickly left the break room. Meanwhile, Judy immediately called Gaspard.
âDad, your suggested plan is simply brilliant!â
âWhat? Did that Wendy or Wonda take the bait?â
As expected, this father and daughter understood each other with just a few words.
âYes. Sheâs a fool. I merely mentioned that she could retain her position as a CEOâs secretary, and she willingly handed over the plan!â Judy stood in a secluded corner, her voice brimming with barely contained excitement. The thought of ousting Gwyneth from Glen Corporation brought her immense joy.
âWhat? You obtained it so quickly?â Gaspard remained somewhat skeptical, as events were progressing unexpectedly smoothly. After all Gwyneth was someone who had skillfully manipulated her own family into relinquishing control of the family business to her.
*Dad. I have the plan in my hands. How could it be anything but genuine?â Judy glanced over the Glacier Lake plan once more, her elation impossible to conceal. âIâll make a copy of it for you as soon as I return to my office.â With those words. Judy ended the call and turned to
head back to her workstation.
As she passed by the CEOâs office, Gwyneth emerged from within.
Judy took the initiative to greet her. âHi, Ms. Glen.â
Gwyneth paused momentarily, a smile gracing her lips. âI assume your workload has decreased since becoming a lowâlevel employee. hasnât it?â
