Lucinda felt a bit tired, but she didn’t let it show.


    She continued to listen attentively.


    Finally, the meeting concluded, and Lucinda asked in her usualposed manner, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll adjourn the meeting.


    ”


    As people began shutting down theirputers and collecting their documents, Crosby raised his hand and stood up.


    “Miss Simmons, when I came to your office earlier today, I noticed that Mr.


    Payne was also there.


    What were you doing with him in the office when you refused to see me?”


    His question left everyone in the room shocked.


    Many nced at Crosby in astonishment, silently admiring his audacity to confront the new president so boldly.


    The answer to Crosby’s question seemed apparent, and he seemed to be asking it just to embarrass her.


    It took courage to challenge the new president so openly.


    Raising her head, Lucinda showed no sign of embarrassment.


    She replied nonchntly, “Mr.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Agur, my wedding with Nathan is scheduled for next week.


    What do you think we were doing in the office?”


    Crosby’s face darkened.


    “As the president of thepany, you’re not ashamed of flirting with your man in the office at all? It seems like you’ve gotten used to it.


    How can you expect all the directors to believe you can lead us and manage the Simmons Group?”


    Lucinda’s hand fell hard on the desk, causing a loud bang that made many people tremble with fear.


    When she was angry, her aura was strong and fierce.


    “I can’t manage the Simmons Group? Well, do you think you can do any better? Even if you take my ce, how long do you think you can hold on to this position?


    It’s not a big deal that Nathan and I had a little fun in the office.


    We’re going to get married.


    Mr.


    Agur, do you seriously question me about my private affairs in a meeting? Don’t you think you’re being too officious? Or are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?”


    What’s more, what right do you have to question my ability? I’ve only been in office for a few days.


    Can you already predict that I won’t be able to increase thepany’s revenue this year? Do you have the power of fortune-telling? And have the ability to predict?


    A few people in the room couldn’t help but let out a small, silveryugh at Lucinda’s witty response.


    “You! You’re unreasonable!”


    Crosby’s face turned livid.


    He had only raised one question, but she bombarded him with numerous ones.


    He worked for thepany for decades and he deserved some respect!


    Lucinda snorted and stared at him coldly.


    “Mr.


    Agur, don’t think that just because you’re a founding member of thepany and hold a high position, you can defy the rules and go unpunished like Graham did.


    For what happened today, you will be punished ording to thepany rules!”


    “Lucinda!”


    Crosby was fuming.


    “Even your father wouldn’t speak to me Like that.
