Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

“If we talk about academic qualification, everyone here in this room graduated from top universities. These two directors sitting in front of you are top students from Konig University. As for the experience, you don’t have presentable work up to this point. I saw your Christmas special edition jewelry. There’s a reason the sales for that were mediocre.”

Everything Elspeth said was like a sword stabbing into Alaina’s heart, making the confidence that was left in her shatter instantly. Alaina suddenly felt as though she was just a clown, showing off her immature skills in front of experts and embarrassing herself.

“Miss Lynwood, we’re all colleagues. How can you say that to me?” With her innocent look, all the male colleagues around her relent the moment she cried.

Since reasoning couldn’t work, Alaina wanted to play the victim but was exposed mercilessly by Elspeth. “You start crying whenever you can’t win an argument. Miss Sullivan, is that all you learned in Winthrop Group?”

At that moment, Alaina’s tears were hanging from the corners of her eyes. It didn’t seem right to let them fall or wipe them off, so they were left hanging awkwardly there.

“Enough. There’s no need to argue anymore. I’m the one who decided on this.

“It’s settled then,” Callum gave the ultimate word, finalizing the decision on this matter.

anything to you.” Elspeth put on a faint smile. “Also, no worries about all the drama. Just like you said, considering what’s best for the company, we should maintain the status quo.

“You’re right, Miss Lynwood. By the way, you had a lot of contacts when you were the director of the Design Department, right? Can you…”
