Elliot was rendered speechless.
Unable to reason with a furious Sheena and realizing there was no way around it, Elliot reluctantly
returned to the sofa and hurriedly returned to work.
The air instantly quieted down, with neither of them breaking the peace again.
The sound of typing and writing blended perfectly, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Two hours passed, and Ria cautiously approached the door, this time not pushing it open but waiting
outside for Sheena toe out.
“Ms. Lawson, there’s a shareholders‘ meeting in fifteen minutes. All the executives are already waiting
in the conference room for you.”
“Alright, I’ll be there shortly.”
Sheena locked herputer screen, nced at Elliot diligently writing annotations on the sofa, and
decided not to disturb him.

She stood up immediately and left the office.
As Sheena entered, all the executives‘ expressions turned serious in the conference room, and the
atmosphere became tense. Especially Rafael, who had just visited her office, stared at her with a stern
gaze.
Sensing the tension, Sheena paid no mind to it and calmly announced the start of the meeting.
The meeting was tedious, mainly consisting of reports on this month’s marketing figures, project
progress, and so on, but itsted for a long time, a full hour and a half.
Sheena felt a bit weary but did not show it, remaining attentive throughout.
Finally, as the meeting drew to a close, she followed the usual protocol and asked, “Do any of you have
any furtherments? If not, this month’s meeting will be adjourned.”
Many people began closing theirptops and tidying up their materials.
Suddenly, Rafael raised his hand and stood up.
“Ms. Lawson, when I came to your office today, I found Mr. Jenkins was also there. You refused to see
me. What exactly were you doing with him in the office?”
The room fell into shock at Rafael’s words.
Many people widened their eyes, staring at Rafael in disbelief, silently apuding his bravery.
Asking about the personal matters between an engaged couple in front of so many people was clearly
an attempt to embarrass her.

“Mr.
sheena looked at Rafael coldly, feeling no embarrassment whatsoever, and casually replied, Atkins,
next week is mine and Elliot’s wedding. What else do you think a married couple would be doing
together?”
Rafael’s expression turned sour.
“As thepany’s CEO, you’re engaging in office romance, Ms. Lawson, you not onlyck shame but
also think that this is normal. Why should all the executives believe an ipetent person like you can
lead the Lawson Group effectively?”
Sheena mmed the table abruptly, creating a loud noise that startled many.
When she was angry, her presence was intense and formidable.
“Are you saying you’re a better fit to lead the Lawson Group? If this position were handed to you, could
you guarantee stability for more than a few days? What’s wrong with a little fun between spouses? Mr.
Atkins, should I say you’re poking your nose where it doesn’t belong by bringing up such matters in a
meeting, or should I say you’re being disrespectful to your CEO andcking discipline?”
”
After a momentary pause, Sheena continued, “Furthermore, you’re calling me ipetent? I’ve only
been in this position for a few days, and you’re already predicting that I can’t increase thepany’s
revenue for the year. Do you have a crystal ball or something? Can you see the future?”
Some people in the room chuckled softly at the exchange.
“You’re ridiculous!”
Rafael was livid. He barely got a word out before Sheena countered him with several more,pletely
disregarding his status as apany veteran.
Sheena gave a cold snort, ring at him with icy eyes.
“Mr. Atkins, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve been with thepany for
thirty years and hold a high position. I won’t indulge you as Corey did! Today’s incident will be handled
ording to protocol!”
“Sheena!”
Rafael was so furious his beard was practically standing on end. “Even your dad would give me some
respect, and you dare to punish me as soon as you arrive?” “Are you surprised?” à
