One attendee exhaled deeply while eyeing Madisyn.


    “Youngdy, this enterprise is abyrinth, far moreplex than it appears.


    At your age, isn’t it preferable to relish life? To watch the blossoms unfold, to bask in the daylight? Why subject yourself to this mess?”


    “Brenda, I swear, I’m not ying around here,” Madisyn responded, her gaze steady and earnest.


    Brenda Peck, startled, suddenly saw Madisyn in a different light.


    She didn’t think Madisyn would actually know her name.


    She had assumed Madisyn wasn’t serious about working here, since she had got the position through Dane.


    Now, when she noticed Madisyn’s preparedness, Brenda’s attitude shifted towards a more serious demeanor.


    Throughout the meeting, everyone sat in sheer astonishment.


    Madisyn’s presentation was not only robust but exhaustive, her demeanor echoing not the inexperience of youth but the acumen of a seasoned business strategist.


    Without dallying, she had, within a mere half hour,id out a roadmap for thepany’s future-clear, concise, and eminently feasible.


    A murmur of approval hummed through the room; eyes sparkled with a newfound respect.


    How refreshing!


    The new president was actually a gem!


    Even Brenda, previously skeptical, now addressed Madisyn with newfound esteem.


    “Miss Johns, my apologies for earlier.


    You’ve clearly earned your role here.


    ”


    Madisyn let out a slight, gracious smile.


    “Thank you, Brenda.


    ”


    As her words lingered, the conference room doors swung open abruptly, admitting severalte-arriving executives.


    The most conspicuous among them, d in extravagant attire and shrouded in a cloud of potent perfume, strode in with arms crossed and a dismissive nce at Madisyn.


    “Apologies for my tardiness.


    I was detained by some urgent business.


    ”


    “The meeting has concluded,” Madisyn informed her tly.


    “But we’re here now.


    You wouldn’t deduct from our performance bonuses, would you?” the woman asked, a hint of challenge in her tone.


    Madisyn’s reply was terse, unyielding.novelbin


    “And why not?”


    The expressions of thete-arriving executives grew grim.


    The group’s leader, Michelle Frey, scoffed sharply.


    “Fine, if you’re set on doing this, we’ll have no choice but to resign.


    ”


    Her deration visibly shifted the mood of the room.


    Out of camaraderie, Brenda cautioned, “Michelle, consider this carefully.


    She’s more than just a charming face; she has the potential to lead our growth.


    ”


    “If you think you can advance with her, by all means, proceed.


    I, however, do not need to follow along.


    What’s more, the form I created leaves with me,” Michelle stated, her gaze on Madisyn full of disdain, showing no fear.


    Brenda, concerned, leaned towards Madisyn and murmured, “Miss Johns, the form she’s referring to is crucial for our uing product.


    If she departs with it, we’ll fail tounch the product, disappointing our clients!”


    This form was crucial for thepany!
