She stood up immediately and left the office.
As Sheena entered, all the executives‘ expressions turned serious in the conference room, and the atmosphere bectense. Especially Rafael, who had just visited her office, stared at her with a stern
gaze.
Sensing the tension, Sheena paid no mind to it and calmly announced the start of the meeting.
The meeting was tedious, mainly consisting of reports on this month’s marketing figures, project progress, and so on, but it lasted for a long time, a full hour and a half.
Sheena felt a bit weary but did not show it, remaining attentive throughout.
Finally, as the meeting drew to a close, she followed the usual protocol and asked, “Do any of you have any further comments? If not, this month’s meeting will be adjourned.”
Many people began closing their laptops and tidying up their materials.
Suddenly, Rafael raised his hand and stood up.
“Ms. Lawson, when I cto your office today, I found Mr. Jenkins was also there. You refused to see me. What exactly were you doing with him in the office?”
The room fell into shock at Rafael’s words.

Sheena slammed the table abruptly, creating a loud noise that startled many.
When she was angry, her presence was intense and formidable.
“Are you saying you’re a better fit to lead the Lawson Group? If this position were handed to you, could you guarantee stability for more than a few days? What’s wrong with a little fun between spouses? Mr. Atkins, should I say you’re poking your nose where it doesn’t belong by bringing up such matters in a meeting, or should I say you’re being disrespectful to your CEO and lacking discipline?”
”
After a momentary pause, Sheena continued, “Furthermore, you’re callingincompetent? I’ve only been in this position for a few days, and you’re already predicting that I can’t increase the company’s revenue for the year. Do you have a crystal ball or something? Can you see the future?”
Speople in the room chuckled softly at the exchange.
“You’re ridiculous!”
Rafael was livid. He barely got a word out before Sheena countered him with several more, completely disregarding his status as a company veteran.
Sheena gave a cold snort, glaring at him with icy eyes.
“Mr. Atkins, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve been with the company for thirty years and hold a high position. I won’t indulge you as Corey did! Today’s incident will be handled according to protocol!”
“Sheena!”
Rafael was so furious his beard was practically standing on end. “Even your dad would givesome respect, and you dare to punishas soon as you arrive?” “Are you surprised?” à
