Elisa glanced at Gareth from the corner of her eye. She realized he had no intention to speak, as though he wanted her to handle the situation alone.
If Elisa could not assert herself, it would be difficult for her to undertake this task.
I wouldn’t care so much if I have nothing to do with this plan; I can just say that I was asked by Gareth. However, if this proposal brings a lot of profit, I will be respected by Benett Corporation in the future.
Under everyone’s gazes, she said, “Ms. Becker, are you doubting my leadership capabilities because I don’t have any relevant experience?”
“Anyone can come up with a great plan. But when it comes to the execution, something might be left out. This is a huge investment, after all. If we encounter any problems, it will come at a great cost to the company. I hope you understand my concerns about this.”
Hazel had always been a straightforward and frank person. To her, there was nothing wrong in voicing her concerns.
The crowd looked at Elisa again. Some thought gleefully, Hah! Does she think she can call the shots around here just because she’s slightly capable? How can such an inexperienced girl head this critical project? If there are any issues, she won’t have to bear the responsibility for the colossal losses. Instead, Gareth will be responsible because he makes the final decisions. If that happens, the only person who will be criticized will be Gareth, not Elisa. Perhaps Gareth’s decision will be questioned as well. How can a woman like Elisa shoulder this tremendous responsibility?
“Of course, I understand your perspective. Ms. Becker, why don’t you point out some of the challenges we might face? You are always welcome to test me on how I’ll resolve them. I know everyone doubts my problem-solving skills from the presentation alone.” Elisa nodded calmly without showing any discomfort.
