"I've never seen anyone with such audacity! Celena doesn't know any better, so she can't possibly compare to Cheryl, who's been working in the company for years now. How can you possibly come up with such an idea, Dad? You might as well just announce that Cheryl has won! It's a no-brainer!" Teresa said curtly.
Reginald slapped the table and turned to Teresa with a scowl. "Teresa, are you questioning my judgment?"
Everyone was terrified of Reginald, so naturally Teresa shook her head furiously, blushing. "Of course not, Dad-"
However, Teresa was not the only one thinking this. Everyone else at the meeting thought the same; Reginald wanted only Cheryl for the job but did not want to appear cruel for not giving Celena a chance. However, Cheryl would no doubt win this competition, and there was no going around it, so everyone kept their opinions to themselves.
However, they were still displeased over this. They could not understand why Celena was offered a chance when their children were not. Was Celena better than any of them? No, of course not! She knew nothing about business. If anything, they would rather the project end up in Cheryl's hands than Celena's.
Celena could hear everyone murmuring about this among themselves. She knew she could not stand a chance against Cheryl when it came to running a business, so she turned to stare rather blankly at Liam.
Celena was silent for so long that Reginald could not help shooting her a glare. "Why aren't you saying anything, Celena? Do you agree with this plan or not?"
