A Meeting Arranged by Fate


    Everyone in the room was shocked, and it fell silent. Each one of them had fought hard to climb the corporatedder. None of them were fools.


    Despite their disdain for Seraphina''s sudden appointment, it had been clear from the first day that Sivir fully supported her. Seraphina was not someone they could afford to offend! They began to regret giving her a hard time today, just because Kris had subtly encouraged them to do so.


    The atmosphere in the conference room grew tense and gloomy. No one dared to speak. Kris realised that the momentum had shifted and that no one would continue to challenge Seraphina. "Edward, from the nning department, can you deliver the proposal by today?"

    By this point, everyone knew how to adapt to the situation.


    When given a way out, one should take it-otherwise, they''d face the consequences.


    Seraphina nodded in satisfaction. Her voice softened as she addressed the others. She asked, "What about the other departments?"


    "We''ll get to work right away. We won''t let you down."


    "Yes, we''ll do the same."


    "Of course, we''ve been prepared and are ready to get to work."


    The atmosphere slowly eased as everyone chimed in, offering their support. Seraphina''s stern demeanour softened. She joined in the discussion with a warm smile.


    They weren''t unprepared. On the contrary, everyone was highly capable, and each was a distinguished leader within thepany. None of themcked the skills or the savvy to get the job done. Everyone purposefully overlooked Kris and Julia. Theirplexions were pale, and their expressions were grim.


    Seraphina couldn''t care less. Their time was limited. Those two would soon face expulsion.


    She checked the time when the meeting neared its end. Seraphina said, "Although the core research team is with Giant Group, we still need to make our own preparations. I''ve already discussed this with the CEO of Giant Group. While we can''t participate in core technology development, he has agreed to send two researchers to assist in theter stages. Those two need to be reliable, and thepany would provide them with the best reward. HR, please begin the process of identifying suitable candidates and pay more attention to the task."

    This meeting had temporarily established Seraphina''s initial authority. At least for now, thepany''s top executives were willing to cooperate with her for the sake of money.


    After the meeting, Kris and Julia retreated to Kris''s office, shutting the door behind them, their activities

    The sky gradually darkened and cast a gloomy blue over the city. The evening chill added to the difort.


    Julia left work right on time. When Seraphina learned she had left work, she headed to her office''s wardrobe. Then, she selected a tasteful cocktail dress, slipped on elegant high heels, and discreetly followed Julia. No one in the club recognised Seraphina. Everyone was engrossed in their own conversations. This salon had no specific theme; it was just a gathering for wealthydies to socialise and pass the time. Seraphina sat in a qu

    Seraphina raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hansen? What brought you here?"


    "It''s fate that we meet here," Hansen replied with a raised eyebrow.
