I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 493

It's about time for lunch anyway. My treat. We can talk over a good meal."

Interrupted by Timothy, and wary of ruining the mood for Jasper, Hayden and Garrett reluctantly declared a ceasefire.

Under Timothy's arrangement, the group relocated to a restaurant.

Meanwhile, Sienna was single-handedly chairing an executive meeting at Easton Group.

Since Easton's founding and the departure of Charles Thorne, it was the very first time Hayden had been absent.

Sienna sat at the head of the conference table. Her former seat was occupied by Julian Winters, alongside Easton's founding shareholders and top-tier management.

Even without Hayden present, Sienna was dripping with arrogance, acting even more high-profile than when he was around.

After all, everyone was addressing her as Chairwoman Winters, and this time they weren't doing it just to kiss Hayden's ring.

Easton's shareholders held Sienna in high regard. The second-half dividends she promised were enough to guarantee their great-grandchildren wouldn't have to work a day in their lives.

Her approval rating was through the roof.

Valerie Yates sat right next to her, looking unbearably smug.

She had bet on the right horse, riding Sienna's coattails all the way to becoming the gold-star secretary.

As Valerie passed out the meeting agendas, Sienna outlined her new initiatives: slashing operational budgets, flooding the company with student interns, and firing high-salary, lower-tier employees.

Her proposals were met with overwhelming support from the majority of the shareholders and management.

A few questioned the logic, asking if swapping out seasoned employees for inexperienced interns just to save on payroll was a short-sighted move.

Sure, interns worked for free, but they were clueless about the business.

Most of them stayed for three months—six at the absolute most.

The company would bust its back training them, only for them to leave, forcing management to start from scratch with the next batch.

It would secretly skyrocket everyone's workload and waste immense amounts of time.
