Chapter 1825 Meeting
Elisa announced, "Let's begin," with a slight nod. Rochelle stared between Paul and Elisa, unsure of what to do. She didn't want to offend either of them.
She had significantly benefited from being under Paul's wing and couldn't afford to disobey him.
Paul smiled slowly, savoring his moment of power. His smile seemed to say, "Look at this. She is my employee. They only listen to my orders. You may be the CEO, Elisa, but you're nothing compared to me. Who do you think you are?"
Paul's eyes lit up with a mocking glint, his face devoid of the anger he felt a moment ago. He spoke matter-of-factly, "Ms. Benett asked you to start your presentation. Why aren't you listening to her?"
Although he was reprimanding her, anyone could tell that his voice had no hint of displeasure. Instead, his tone was light and carefree, secretly pleased with her actions.
A few stakeholders who didn't want anything to do with their feud started to lower their heads. The others were curious to see how this would end up.
Paul was facing Elisa head-on, and the people in the meeting room wanted to witness how Elisa would diffuse the situation. Without a doubt, if Elisa couldn't manage it, Paul would hold her by the nose for the rest of her time as CEO here.
Elisa's eyes were cold, devoid of any emotion. They looked directly into Paul's eyes, and their gazes met in an intense stare.
Elisa shifted her gaze to Rochelle and smiled, her eyes a half-moon shape. "You should have told me
you weren't feeling well. Is there anyone who can take your place in presenting the report?"
Rochelle's deliberate attempt to step over Elisa was met with a quick-witted dismissal from Elisa.
Before she could say anything in her defense, Elisa had already found someone else to present. novelbin
It seemed that if someone wasn't going to rise to the occasion, Elisa didn't need them around.
Rochelle had chosen to side with Paul, but that didn't mean everyone on the events team was siding with him.
"Ms. Bennett, let me do it," a familiar voice rang out in the meeting room.
Everyone turned their heads to the source of the voice and saw Bella enter the meeting room, carrying files and her notebook.
She nodded her head, politely greeting everyone in the room.
She then walked over to Elisa and placed the notebook before her. "Ms. Benett, if you would allow me, I would like to present our report to the executives here today," she said. As she finished her sentence, she winked at Elisa mischievously, her lips curving into a smile.
Elisa was stunned to see Bella here. She had not expected her to show up, especially after what had happened the day before.
But she was also intrigued by Bella's plans.
She saw this opportunity as a chance to evaluate the management of the project department and make significant changes if necessary.
Since Bella was here, it would make things much easier. She could take this as her chance to get used to her future responsibilities.
Elisa smiled back at her and gestured for her to start her presentation. "You can go on."
Bella nodded and walked to the front of the projected screen.
Rochelle felt uneasy at Bella's actions. She pointed at Bella and said sharply, "This meeting is only attended by the executives and directors. Bella has no right to present here as a mere temporary leader." She turned to Elisa as soon as she finished her sentence. Remembering what had happened the other day, her voice deepened with conviction and a hint of displeasure. "Ms. Benett, Bella has no right to be here."
Elisa kept quiet and stared at her indifferently, the corner of her lips lifting subtly. Her expression was unreadable.
A heavy silence hung in the air after Rochelle's unwavering statement.
"Calm down and have a glass of water," Elisa said with a chuckle.
