Chapter 1824 Settle
Elisa suggested that Bella go home and rest, but Bella declined.
"The proposal is almost done," she said. "I can only sleep in peace once it's been signed."
Elisa respected Bella's decision but couldn't help but feel uneasy. She gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Let me know if you don't feel well," she responded.
Bella nodded in agreement.
Elisa drove to the office in silence. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
Bella was in a vulnerable state, but she insisted on working. She felt grateful to Elisa and also wanted to prove her worth.
Paul's refusal to let the proposal go through made Elisa's blood boil. She was determined to make sure the proposal was passed today. She thought to herself that she would do whatever it took to make it happen.
The car stopped at the entrance of the office. Elisa accompanied Bella to the top floor and supported her to her seat. Bella was reluctant, but Elisa insisted on helping her. Elisa wanted everyone to know that she had Bella's back. If anyone tried to hurt Bella, they would have to answer to her.
Elisa predicted that Paul would be furious if he knew her plans for promoting Bella. He was known to despise people who used connections to get ahead.
He believed integrity was about earning your position through hard work and merit, not nepotism or
favoritism. He also believed that a company would be in a mess if people were promoted based on their connections rather than their qualifications.
Ultimately, the people who were plotting schemes and flaunting their power and status were all people under Paul.
In the past, Elisa had paid no heed to this, as Paul had been one of the investors supporting the company for a long time.
But she couldn't let it be anymore!
As expected, Paul was late for the executive meeting.
Someone in the room asked if they should send a staff member to remind him.
Elisa's lips curled up in an inscrutable expression. "Even the president knows how to be on time. Who does Mr. Grayson think he is? Do we need to cancel the meeting if he's not here?" she said coldly.
The person looked displeased by Elisa's criticism. His lips started to tremble, but he didn't say a word. Not everyone had the ability or power to speak over Elisa. novelbin
After asserting her unwavering stance, she started the meeting.
About twenty minutes later, as the director of the project department was giving his speech, Paul barged into the meeting room angrily.
Everyone's head turned towards the door. Paul was standing by the door, his eyes flaring red and his anger visible through the veins popping out of his neck.
"Mr. Grayson, I thought you won't be joining us today," Elisa muttered dismissively.
Paul had to clench his fists to keep himself from slapping Elisa across the face. Her words were respectful, but her tone was condescending and mocking.
"I had something to attend to," Paul said with a lilt, though he was boiling with anger.
He wouldn't have achieved his current position if he couldn't maintain his composure in front of people of higher authority.
Within a short while, Paul had composed himself and returned to a neutral expression.
"Since you're here, take a seat," Elisa said, pointing to a seat on her left. "You're just in time to listen to the upcoming plans. The next one has to do with market research, the department you're in charge of." She didn't spare another glance at Paul.
Paul seethed with anger, his face red and his fists clenched. He knew he couldn't lash out at Elisa, so he sat down and tried to calm himself down.
