Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Brielle maintained a calm and composed demeanor in her professional endeavors. Having made her point, she fixed her gaze steadily on Max.

Max offered a slight smile, his slender fingers pausing their rhythmic drumming on the table surface as he asked lightly, “And what might that be?”

Rising gracefully to her feet, Brielle cast her presentation onto the wide screen.

The attention in the room shifted towards the large screen, where a detailed summary was displayed.

But what did it all really mean?

Brielle’s expression remained unflustered as she switched the content on the screen once

“This is the HR department’s personnel flow chart. If a department hires a new leader who brings a bunch of people from their old department, when that leader leaves, those individuals tend to follow, which is a significant loss for us. The 2N Rule effectively prevents this from happening.”

The atmosphere within the conference room grew tense. Her words were simple and clear, leaving no one in the dark about their implications, but her proposed principles threatened to upend the status quo for many in management, and their displeasure was
