Chapter 33 Promotion


    “Alright, I’ve called you here today not to listen to your petty arguments, but because Sylvia has made considerable progresstely. I’ve decided to give her a promotion and have her spearhead a project independently. Does anyone have objections?” Bruce tapped the table lightly, redirecting the conversation to the real purpose of this meeting.


    He had wanted to give Sylvia a promotion for awhile now, just waiting for the right timing. With her sessfullypleting a recent project, Bruce felt now was the moment to give her more responsibility and develop her capabilities. For most employees, such a big meeting wouldn’t be needed. But Sylvia was different – as a future heir, Bruce had to get some nominal support from key stakeholders, meaningless as that was.


    Ingrid was quick to voice dissent. “I disagree. She’s just a lowly assistant. If all assistants started getting big projects instead of doing their jobs, we wouldn’t need assistants at all!”


    The others stayed silent, rolling their eyes internally. Clearly Ingrid didn’tprehend Sylvia’s special status if Bruce was going through this much trouble for a mere promotion meeting. As businesspeople, what mattered was making money, not who exactly led what project. And they had faith Bruce wouldn’t let thepany tank.


    “I support Bruce’s decision,” someone echoed..


    “Well if you’re having her lead a project, I assume you already decided which one Bruce?” another asked. Knowing Bruce, everything would be meticulously nned already before informing them.


    “Yes, I have a project in mind…” Bruce went on to outline handing Sylvia a VP-level


    temporary role to tackle ongoing challenges with a South City development. Sess there would lead to a permanent VP promotion.


    Stunned silence followed. They hadn’t expected Bruce to give such a senior position. But South City did require that level of authority.


    “You really trust her to handle something soplex?” Ingrid fumed, envy written all over


    her face.


    Bruce just stared coldly back without answering. Why should he justify anything to Ingrid?


    If he didn’t believe in Sylvia, no one would.


    As Bruce continued dressing down Ingrid, everyone else stayed mum…realizing again how uniquely high Sylvia ranked for Bruce. The meeting ended shortly after with Ingrid


    storming off while others shrugged, only caring about profit rather than who specifically


    was VP.

    Afterwards, Sylvia and Julie gleefully went to decorate her new VP office,ughing over Ingrid’s dramatics. For them, the office felt like a second home where they could<ie</i>and go freely based on Bruce’s favor.


    Yet Ingrid soon arrogantly blocked their way, threatening<i>Sylvia’s</i>role and<i>credentials</i>. Sylvia calmly retorted Julie was her new assistant, perfectly reasonable for a VP. Unable to find faults, a seething Ingrid stormed off again. The girls chuckled, anticipating Ingrid would now pester Bruce instead.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
