    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In Team One, Miranda learned about Cecilia’s act of giving mary gifts. She scoffed in disdain and said, “A single mary gift only contains two hundred. Those people look like they’ve never even seen money before.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda had no regard for Cecilia’s tactics. As a leader, toly should she be pandering to her employees?</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The subordinates who were working for her truly wanted to tell her that Cecilia did not just send a single mary gift.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Moreover, for the employees, the asional receipt of mary gift was genuinely a source of joy.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Miranda was stingy and reluctant to give her employees mary gifts, yet she had the audacity to mock others.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As the assistant was about to leave, Miranda said to her “Inform everyone in Team One, They must outperform Team Five in this month’s performance. If they fall short, their performance bonus will be cut in half.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Okay”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">-The assistant ryed the news to the group, immediately met with a chorus of sighs from everyone.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the surface, nobody openly mentioned Miranda, but behind her back, everyone was criticizing her.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Why must Miranda drag us into her feud with Cecilia? We’re innocent in all this.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Exactly! She told us to surpass Team Five if we want our full performance bonuses, but she never mentioned any benefits if we were to surpass Team Five.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You’re still hoping for benefits, huh? Dream on. Aren’t you aware that Team Five used to be the top in sales? It all went downhill when Miranda was parachuted in as the manager, causing the department’s performance to deteriorate.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone dared to whisper only in the men’s restroom</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">People from Team Five were also there. Upon hearing those words, they couldn’t help but ry the information to Cecilia.</font></font>This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that time, Cecilia was already on her way back to the office. Regardless of the disruption caused by Nathaniel, she couldn’t allow it to derail her original ns.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Having the opportunity to learn and build connections at Orion Corporation was truly a joy.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After she arrived at the office, she also came to know about some matters.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia made up her mind there and then. “Could you perhaps go easy on Team One? Taking half of their performance bonuses seems a bit too much.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“How could we let that happen? We’ll certainly not let you down, Boss,” each subordinate voiced out.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia chuckled. “All right. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">seeking client coborations.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When engrossed in work, tinte seemed to fly by especially quickly, and it was not easy for Cecilia to allow her mind to wander to matters unrted to her job.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the evening, as usual, work ended.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Charlotte, who was overseas, called and asked, “Boss, what have you been up totely? I haven’t seen any new songs from you. Why is that?”</font></font>


    Charlotte was not just Cecilia’s assistant. She was almost like Cecilia’s manager, supervising her from time to time.


    “I’ve been a bit busytely, so the new song hasn’t been released yet.”


    “So many of your fans are eagerly waiting, and several film and televisionpanies want to coborate with you.” Charlotte sighed. Boss is bing increasinglyid–back.


    It was important to note that back in the day, when she was abroad, Cecilia wouldpose several songs in a week just for the sake of money.


    “All right, can I give it to you next week?” Cecilia asked, feeling helpless.


    “All right.”


    Only then did Charlotte get off Cecilia’s–back.


    “By the way, Boss… When exactly are you returning to Erihal? You leave yourpany running every day without supervision, and people are starting to think I’m the boss,”


    At the time, Cecilia’spany was notrge, making it quite easy to manage. It simply couldn’tpare to Orion Corporation, so she entrusted it to Charlotte and felt quite at ease.


    “In that case, consider yourself the boss for now. I need to further my studies, but I’ll return in the future.” Naturally, Cecilia was not content with always being just a small–time boss and aposer.


    Since Nathaniel had divorced her, as the mother of four children, she had to be even stronger. That was the only way she could protect her children.
