Clearly, Angela and Clara appeared to be partners who had collaborated happily for a long time.
Andrew waved his hand and said, "I don't agree! What gives you the right to act like the king and be in charge alone?"
"I'm the CEO, Mr. Graham. I didn't mean to argue with you about your son receiving a salary without making any meaningful contributions to the company, but I need to clarify. This department was created to prevent issues like yours.
"The company is for everyone, but it isn't a free-for-all. If everyone conducts themselves appropriately, there's no problem. However, if someone misbehaves, I won't hesitate to enforce rules."
At that moment, Angela was sharp and stern, commanding respect from others effortlessly.
"Ms. Graham is a progressive leader, and I believe she'll help our company improve."
"Exactly. Our company needs young, capable leaders like Ms. Graham."
"We just need to follow Ms. Graham and do our jobs well."
Everyone there understood that adapting one's attitude to suit the circumstances could be highly beneficial. On the other hand, having situational awareness and the ability to be flexible were essential skills.
Andrew's expression contorted with rage. He was on the verge of losing control, filled with an overwhelming urge to confront Angela.
"So, who exactly did you choose for your so-called department of supervision? And what do they do?"
Once he obtained the list of names, he planned to select a few to help him. He was confident he could find Angela's weak spots.
