Sophie gestured at the piles on the table, then to those on the floor, and finally at the couch, asking, "All of this... and these... everything?" "Yep, everything," came the reply.


    Tricia had a smile on her face, but to Sophie, it looked particrly menacing!


    "How could there be so many reports in just a few months?"


    Just then, Jenna and Adler walked in, lugging more files. Adler, bncing the stack, said, "Just these? Sophie, are you being a bit too hopeful? There''s more on the way!"


    Jenna dropped thest stack on the floor and remarked, "Can''t we hire more staff? Is ourpany really that broke? What kind of ce has shareholders doing the heavy lifting!" Outside, Harold, Odie, and Jonah brought in even more stacks.


    Odie gave a cold nce around and said, "I''m not a shareholder here, why should I be hauling stuff?"


    Adler pped Odie on the shoulder, saying, "We''re just a bit short-staffedtely, you know. When Joseph was around, he poached a ton of our people, and now we''re swamped. Besides, didn''t Sophie promise to help you reform the Mintons? Moving a few stacks isn''t a big deal!"


    Odie frowned and said, "Get your hand off me."


    Jonah stepped forward and removed Adler''s hand from Odie''s shoulder.


    Seeing the heaps of files in the office, Sophie felt like backing out for the first time.


    "I, I think my injury... might not bepletely healed."


    Sophie turned to leave, but Tricia blocked her path, saying, "Ms. Sophie, if you don''t handle this, thepany might go under in a few days."


    Sophie forced a smile and said, "Well... weren''t we running smoothly before? Now that Joseph is out, and Burke International is supposedly friendly with us, we''re not exactly broke. Let''s just aim for modest earnings..."


    "Who said Burke International is friendly with us?" Tricia said seriously. "Ms. Sophie, you''re too naive!"


    "??"


    Tricia picked out a few files from the piles and said, "There are nosting friendships in business. Lately, Burke International has been gearing up for a new business model, and they''re moving way faster than us. they''re already encroaching on our turf, Ms. Sophie, you need to step it up!"


    Under Mr. Burke''s leadershi


    Upon hearing this, Adler rushed to Tricia, snatching the documents from her hands, eximing, "No way! James is ying dirty? After we helped him out, he turns around and pulls a Mission Impossible on us!


    Tricia replied, "The business world isn''t about friendships. If Mr. Burke doesn''t take the business, someone else will. Mr. Adler, you''re being too naive!"Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Adler, sternly, said, "Little Zhang, as a shareholder, you think I can''t fire you?"


    "I''m Ms. Sophie''s personal assistant, you can''t fire me."


    "You!"


    "Alright, alright! Stop arguing, I''ll handle it! I''ll do it now!"


    Sophie, getting a headache from the noise, rubbed her temples.


    For the first time, she realized being the big boss wasn''t easy.


    Seeing Sophie like this, Harold couldn''t help but suggest, "How about we all pitch in? We should be able to get through it faster that way."
