Different from the undercurrents on Daybreak’s side, Hestia’s methods of making things difficult for Duval Group were relatively more straightforward.
Benji brought the proposal out of her office with a demoralized expression. And as soon as the team waiting for the results saw Benji’s look, they immediately knew that Hestia must have returned the proposal again, and they could not help but feel a little defeated for a while.
When Hestia came into the company yesterday, she only wandered around the company, making Benji feel a little uneasy. However, Hestia started asking questions related to the project that morning, and both the previously proposed plan and its backup had all been rejected by her.
Now the entire Team A that was in charge of the project was outside Hestia’s office. They were there waiting to receive Hestia’s next order at any time, and among them was the unlucky Benji.
Although Hestia had been making things difficult for them deliberately, everyone could still see that every point that Hestia put forward was something they could not accomplish at this moment, so all they could do now was curse the evil capitalist deep down while correcting all the problems that Hestia had pointed out.
The most devastated person in the group was actually Benji. After all, the others were only there to modify the proposal, but he was the one who had to face the devil head-on.
"Mr. Lynch, Mr. Duval asked you to go downstairs to pick someone up." Seeing that Benji was walking out of the office, the secretary standing next to Team A instantly said, "Right now."
Benji’s eyes lit up; he handed the proposal back to the members of Team A and dashed downstairs. He originally thought it would still take a while longer for Kenji to arrive at Duval Group, but he did not expect him to come so soon.
As soon as Benji left the scene, Hestia opened the door and came out. "Has Benji gone downstairs?"
The team members looked at each other in dismay. Although Hesper was now their immediate superior and had an unclear relationship with Rickard, they also knew that she was not part of the company, so they did not know whether they should disclose Benji’s itinerary to her.
Hestia could tell what they were thinking at a glance. Seeing that they did not intend to answer her question, she took a few steps backward unconcernedly. "Okay, you people are to come up with a new proposal. If we were not in Halwanest, but Fredonia instead, and I was your direct superior, your salary for this month would have already been flushed down the drain at this very moment.”
After saying so, Hestia closed the door, leaving all the team members with their heads bowed guiltily.
