Chapter 113: The new general manager
The room went quiet for a beat, then a few polite nods and murmurs of welcome followed.
Lily leaned closer to Anne and whispered. "Megan Granet? Isn’t she the daughter of that high-profile lawyer, Mr. Granet?" Her eyes flicked toward Megan with a mix of curiosity and surprise. "I heard she came back recently after finishing her studies overseas. I didn’t think she’d join our company, though."
Anne kept her gaze fixed on Megan, quietly sizing her up. From the sleek, tailored dress to the confident, almost dismissive air she carried, Megan looked every inch someone used to privilege. There was a chill to her presence.
’Of course. Just another rich kid with too much confidence and not enough humility. Typical.’
Anne kept her tone even and her expression unreadable. "It’s her decision. She is the general manager now. Let’s just stay professional and give her the respect her position demands."
Helena smiled politely and turned to Megan. "Would you like to say a few words to the team?"
Without so much as a glance at the others, Megan replied coolly, "I’ll speak during the meeting. I want all team leaders in the conference hall after lunch."
She pivoted, heels clicking against the floor, Helena trailing after her without a word.
A wave of whispers and raised eyebrows swept across the team.
"Yikes..." Rose leaned toward Anne. "Watch your step around her. That woman radiates ice. She is not at all friendly."
Anne didn’t pass a statement.
