Anna stood in the office doorway for a moment. Then she took a blanket from the couch and wrapped it around Wayne.

Wayne opened his eyes immediately, and then looked at her with drowsy eyes and said, “Anna, it’s you.”

After that, he stood up, checked his watch, and said, “You’ve arrived early today. Did you get enough sleep last night?”

Anna said with a nod, “Yes, | did. | ate too much last night, so I’ve been experiencing stomach pains.”

Hearing that, Wayne placed his hand on hers and said, “Your hands are freezing! | see; maybe it’s because your sweater is too thin.”

“Oh, don’t worry. The heat is on in the office.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Wayne abruptly let go of Anna’s hand. Then he reached into his desk drawer for a hot water bag.

While handing it to Anna, he said, “It’s quite cold today, so take this. It’ll be hot in a minute.”

Anna stared at the hot water bag, dazed

After a while, she noticed that it was gradually becoming warmer. Looking at the adorable Doraemon pattern on it, she asked curiously, “Oh? Did you buy it?”

“No. My secretary bought it. She explained that it was her Christmas gift to Matthew.”

Anna had asked an intern to look after Matthew and Tammy after they had visited the company sometime before. After graduating, that girl came

to work at the company and became Wayne’s secretary. 309 Shirley Is Back

“You know what she meant by that, don’t you?” Anna asked, giving

him a thoughtful look. Anna realized that Wayne’s secretary didn’t just want to give Matthew a present; she also wanted to hit on Wayne. After giving Wayne the hot water bag, the girl could have a chance to ask Wayne if Matthew liked it. And she would almost certainly send more gifts, like gloves and scarves so that she would have more opportunities to get along with Wayne. Meanwhile, Wayne frowned and looked like he had no idea about that. He asked, “What? ” “It’s so obvious! Wayne, she wants to flirt with you! Did she ask you later if Matthew liked this gift “She did, indeed.”

“Oh, that’s obvious, isn’t it?”

“I didn’t give it to Matthew because the directions say it’s not safe for children under the age of five,” Wayne said.

Anna blinked, picturing his expression when he opened the gift.

She said, “Give your secretary a raise then. It’s pretty hard for her to work for you.”

Then Anna looked at her watch and said, “So, I’m off to the office now. Ihave a board meeting in the morning.”

Perplexed, Wayne asked, “You’ve got another board meeting? To be honest, having a board meeting every six months is sufficient. Although the company has been in quite a lot of trouble lately, you don’t have to discuss literally everything with them.”

“No, it’s Rachel who wants to have a meeting,” Anna said with a frown.

Anna knew Rachel well enough to know she was the type of person ‘309 Shirley Is Back Ye who enjoyed causing problems for others.

Rachel had studied art in America and had grown conceited because she thought she could fix anything. As a result, she desired to be the advertising department’s design director.

When Frank was alive, he knew Rachel was untrustworthy, so he never let her work for the company. However, after Anna became chairman, Rachel began to reconsider this idea.

Rachel called everyone to discuss the advertising contract, just as Anna had predicted.

She said, “True, we saw a significant increase in performance following the first phase of advertising. However, | believe that the widespread negative rumors about Leon caused us to take too many risks. So I don’t think we need to keep signing contracts with him. We can pay the same amount of money for a better candidate.”

Rachel did seem to have a valid point.

Anna paused to allow Rachel to finish her sentences.

Then she said, “Well, the advertising department offered to renew Leon’s contract. I’m no expert in advertising, but I think they’re on to something. But, I’m also aware that we were taking a risk. The advertising department suggested a plan B: we can hire someone else.”

“Huh? Who is it? ” Rachel asked doubtfully.

“Scott.”

Hearing that, Rachel snickered, “Anna Gabriel, are you kidding me? Everyone knows he’s your brother.”

Anna said as calmly as possible, “It has nothing to do with my relationship with him. Well, they’re all convinced he’s the ideal spokesperson. He not only has a good image, but he also has no scandals.

‘309 Shirley Is Back Ye He’s a perfect candidate.”

Rachel stood up, looked at Anna, and said, “Anna, We all know what you’re trying to do. You’ve always wanted to make your people work in the company, right? Ha! You can’t fool us anymore. Since | got here, you’ve fired several employees and even sent two of my cousins to the branch company. Are you trying to replace the entire company before my aunt returns?”

Rachel was aggressive even though all of the directors were present. That was why Anna thought it was challenging to be the chairman here.

Anna exhaled a deep breath and raised her head, looking at Rachel indifferently, saying, “You got us all here just to criticize me, right? Rachel, | know you hold stock in the company. But, this does not mean that you are free to do whatever you want. We’re not at your house, but a company. So, you must follow the rules here. | fired your two cousins because they embezzled funds.”

Before that, Rachel’s two cousins were the most rampant employees in the group. They misappropriated project funds to make investments and lost a lot of money. Because the department lacked funds to pay salaries, employees reported Gabriel Group to the government

In the end, Gabriel Group was in trouble just because of these two people.

Rachel elaborated, “They simply made the wrong decision! Who are you to treat them this way, Anna? You’re only an interim chairman! Don’t overestimate yourself!”

“Yeah, maybe you’re right. But as long as I’m the acting chairman, | have that authority,” Anna said calmly and indifferently.

Rachel lifted her chin and appeared lofty and powerful. She said, “So, 309 Shirley Is Back

what if my aunt returns? She is the group’s majority shareholder. Shouldn’t you then resign?”

After a while, two secretaries opened the door next to the conference room before Anna could respond

And then, Shirley, who was wearing a suit, walked into the conference room followed by two assistants carrying her bags.

As soon as she entered the room, she glared at Anna with contempt and said, “Miss Gabriel, you’ve been doing exceptionally well lately. Now that I’m back, you may resign now.”
