One of his other business partners had used thepany’s shares as coteral for a loan of hundred of billion dors. For this


    reason, thepany was sold and the sale proceeds were transmitted directly to the bank. It waster found out that Drake was


    also responsible for another debt, which had been taken out in his name.


    This was the said debt that Arthur had settled up in full.


    Drake was furious but also helpless. There was, however, nothing he could do to change the situation. As a result, he had little


    choice but to ept his fate. On top of that, he had always nned on retiring someday.


    “Dad, focus on your health first,” Sophiaforted him. She stood by the handrail on the second story and nced down at


    Arthur working on hisptop downstairs as she spoke. The man


    seemed so cold, stoic, and charming at the same time.


    Up until now, she hadn''t been able to believe that those delicately pursed lips of his had kissed her.


    Anastasia arrived at thepany earlier in the morning to meet a few important visitors. As a jewelry designer, she’d always


    been attentive and patient with clients. Even though she was with a prominent status now, she still met with every client and that


    dignified attitude of hers captivated them.


    In less than a half hour and two cups of coffeeter, she was able to secure nearly 10 million worth of custom orders for three


    prominent women.


    Anastasia was aware that the jewelry market was bing increasinglypetitive. That meant that if they truly wanted to


    break away from their old operating model, they had to go all out at the top end and she wanted to build Bourgeois into a top-tier


    company in the industry.


    During her time as an employee at Bourgeois, she was aware that thepany had a lot of unproductive staff.


    She was aware that the majority of these ckers were executive-levels who received substantial perks from their positions


    without performing any effort.


    With this in mind, she made the decision to restructure the entire organization and redeployment of staff.


    Anastasia trusted Felicia, Larry, and Mason the most out of all the employees she knew and they were already in the conference


    room at this stage.


    The process of personnel reformation was quickly brought to a conclusion. The Vice-president was held by Larry while Felicia


    was promoted to regional chief director. On the other hand, Mason was given an instant promotion and had the responsibility of


    running the general business operations of the Bourgeois couture line as general manager.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The first thing that Anastasia had to do was to give them responsibilities that were suited for their level of expertise.


    In the afternoon, the executives of the Bourgeois organization underwent a transformation. All of the managers who


    believed their jobs were secure and wellpensated were demoted to positions of less significance whereas their sries


    were also based on their sales performance.


    Meanwhile, the employees who had worked earnestly and honestly for thepany were also promoted and rehired. For a


    moment, sounds ofints and rants echoed in the big office of Bourgeois while those who were rehired realized at the same


    time that the top management of the corporation had practiced fairness and justice. This realization motivated their strong will to


    devote themselves to their work.


    Once she was done restructuring thepany, Anastasia was looking at some documents in her office. Suddenly, she heard


    Grace’s voiceing from outside and judging from thedy''s intonation, she sounded like she was anxiously stopping


    someone.


    “No, you can’t enter. President Tillman is working.”


    Regardless of what, Grace still couldn’t stop the burly male manager with that petite figure of hers. Coincidentally, this male


    manager was one of those executives who had been transferred from his original position.


    Feeling resigned, he pushed open the door and made his way across to Anastasia’s desk. “President Tillman, what’s the


    meaning of this?! | have been working in Bourgeois for 8 years. I’m pretty sure | could get some credit for my efforts, but how


    could you demote me just like that?!”


    Observing the agitated male manager in front of her, Anastasia calmly stood up. She stared at Gordon Quigley, the male


    manager, with a piercing gaze and spoke, “Mr. Quigley, | must remind you that Bourgeois will not support idlers from now on. You


    can submit your resignation if you don’t wish to cooperate with this transfer decision. I’m more than happy to receive your


    resignation letter.”


    “Anastasia, do you think you''re that great? You''re nothing but a mere designer who became lucky and able to climb to the


    top. Gordon sneered, after which he quickly added, “All in all, you sessfully seduced a man like Elliot just because you have a


    pretty face. I’m telling you: | have already been holding the position of a manager even before you joined Bourgeois! How dare


    you demote me now!”


    Likewise, Anastasia didn’t intend to pamper anyone in thepany. Therefore, she said coldly, “I dare to because I’m the boss


    of Bourgeois! | have the right to make any decision!”


    “Anastasia, you can transfer me to another position, but I’m not fine with a sry reduction. If you don’t implement it, I''ll go on a


    strike with all my men!” Since Gordon was previously the manager of Bourgeois, he had quite a number of subordinates under


    him.


    “| dare you if you have this ability. We shall see if the evidence in my hand would send you to jail first, or your strike wille


    first.” After she finished speaking, she coldly recounted his charges. “Don’t think | don’t know what you have been up to! | have


    calcted the amount of money that you have illegally transferred out all these years! It’s at least more than 8 million, if not 10


    million!”
