Chapter 48 She's Capable
While Sam and Anna chatted, Leah's clear and confident speech echoed through the microphone.
She seemed graceful and spoke smoothly without a hitch,
and her passionate delivery captivated the audience effortlessly.
Even those who had initially appeared disinterested were now leaning forward, fully engaged in her speech.
As her speech concluded, the room erupted into thunderous applause, followed by a chorus of praise and admiration. "Miss Wilson can actually deliver such an impressive speech without notes. It's evident she possesses exceptional skills." "This also reflects her thorough preparation for this business exchange, showing great respect to everyone in attendance." "Miss Wilson's dedication and professionalism make her a valuable collaborator. I'll be sure to pass her my business card."
"Count me in for one as well..."
Consequently, after Leah stepped down from the stage, she received a stack of business cards from numerous company executives.
Many of them came for her, wishing to cooperate with her business.
Leah expressed her gratitude to each one, saying, "Thank you all for your recognition. I will continue to strive for excellence."
After collecting the business cards, Leah chatted with the executives for a while. When it was about time, she found an excuse to go to the restroom and then returned to the lounge. Layla's eyes were reddened and swollen from crying. She immediately stood up upon seeing Leah's return.
"Miss Wilson."
"Crying won't change anything. At the moment, the most important thing is to uncover the truth of what happened." Leah glanced at her and sent a message to the work group, summoning all the executives and employees who had accompanied her to the exchange.
Before long, everyone had gathered in the lounge, wearing expressions of confusion.
"Miss Wilson, why have you gathered us here? Has something happened?"
"Indeed, but it's just a trivial matter." Leah walked to the center of the crowd, her clear eyes scanning everyone.
"I'd like to know if any of you had taken away my speech from this table."
This question caught those around her off guard.
"We assumed your impromptu speech was part of the plan. We had no idea the speech had disappeared."
"Yeah. The script went missing, yet you still delivered an outstanding speech. Your composure is truly remarkable, Miss Wilson."
"But before this, no one had entered the lounge. How could the speech simply vanish? Is it possible Layla misplaced it herself and was afraid to admit it to Miss Wilson?" Leah had a gut feeling that Layla couldn't do such a thing, but she still turned to Layla and asked,
"Is that what happened?"
Tears welled up in Layla's eyes again, and she struggled to hold back her emotions as she replied, her voice quivering, "Miss Wilson, I... I didn't lose it. I'm very certain that I
put that speech on the table."
Leah squinted her eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, she inquired, "So, during that period, were you in the lounge all the time? Did you go anywhere else?"
"I..." Layla tried to recollect.
Suddenly, a memory flashed in her mind, and she fixed her gaze on Anna, who was standing behind everyone. "Back then, Anna asked me to come with her. And after I returned, the speech had already disappeared."
Leah's eyes narrowed slightly, and she locked her sharp gaze directly on Anna.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Anna, why did you ask Layla to come with you?"
