However, Stella figured that Darcie might consider giving in if she made that promise.
Sure enough, Darcie’s expression softened upon hearing what Stella said.
Then, she pursed her lips and said, “Stella, I don’t have anything against Sonia joining our company, but we are a well-established organization. Your father and I can’t just decide everything on our own without considering the feelings of our stakeholders. And, we have to coordinate with various departments. Back then, there was someone in our company who wanted his daughter to join us as an intern, but the company rejected them. Now that we’ve put it out there, we must face it ourselves. We’re simply going to embarrass ourselves if we can’t follow the rules we made.
“I feel really sad about what happened to Sonia’s father too. Your father is a sentimental person, and so are you. At this point, I’d seem like a heartless person if I were to refuse any further. However, let me be clear. You can bring her in, but if anything goes wrong, you have to bear the full responsibility. I’m not going to allow any exceptions anymore.”
Darcie sounded very generous as if she had no personal motives at all.
Wenham frowned. He wanted to say something, but Trevor nudged him with a light kick.
Stella smiled. “Darcie, you’re really cautious when it comes to the company. But, I understand it because you’re just trying to protect my mother’s hard work.”
Darcie was taken aback, and she said after a brief pause,” That’s good.”
After Jaylene was scolded, she ran upstairs and refused to come down when the food was ready. Darcie had to go up and bring herdown personally.
Darcie’s expression was not pleasant, and Jaylene’s eyes were red. It seemed she was scolded by Darcie upstairs.
With her parents and brother always siding with her, she had always been doted on. That was probably the first time she got scolded like that.
