Chapter 1824 Settle


    Elisa suggested that Be go home and rest, but Be declined.


    "The proposal is almost done," she said. "I can only sleep in peace once it''s been signed."


    Elisa respected Be''s decision but couldn''t help but feel uneasy. She gripped the steering wheel


    tightly. "Let me know if you don''t feel well," she responded.


    Be nodded in agreement.


    Elisa drove to the office in silence. She couldn''t shake the feeling that something was wrong.


    Be was in a vulnerable state, but she insisted on working. She felt grateful to Elisa and also wanted


    to prove her worth.


    Paul''s refusal to let the proposal go through made Elisa''s blood boil. She was determined to make sure


    the proposal was passed today. She thought to herself that she would do whatever it took to make it


    happen.


    The car stopped at the entrance of the office. Elisa apanied Be to the top floor and supported


    her to her seat. Be was reluctant, but Elisa insisted on helping her. Elisa wanted everyone to know


    that she had Be''s back. If anyone tried to hurt Be, they would have to answer to her.


    Elisa predicted that Paul would be furious if he knew her ns for promoting Be. He was known to


    despise people who used connections to get ahead.


    He believed integrity was about earning your position through hard work and merit, not nepotism or


    favoritism. He also believed that apany would be in a mess if people were promoted based on


    their connections rather than their qualifications.


    Ultimately, the people who were plotting schemes and unting their power and status were all people


    under Paul.


    In the past, Elisa had paid no heed to this, as Paul had been one of the investors supporting the


    company for a long time.


    But she couldn''t let it be anymore!


    As expected, Paul waste for the executive meeting.


    Someone in the room asked if they should send a staff member to remind him.


    Elisa''s lips curled up in an inscrutable expression. "Even the president knows how to be on time. Who


    does Mr. Grayson think he is? Do we need to cancel the meeting if he''s not here?" she said coldly.


    The person looked displeased by Elisa''s criticism. His lips started to tremble, but he didn''t say a word.


    Not everyone had the ability or power to speak over Elisa.


    After asserting her unwavering stance, she started the meeting.


    About twenty minutester, as the director of the project department was giving his speech, Paul


    barged into the meeting room angrily.


    Everyone''s head turned towards the door. Paul was standing by the door, his eyes ring red and his


    anger visible through the veins popping out of his neck.

    "Mr. Grayson, I thought you won''t be joining us today," Elisa muttered dismissively.


    Paul had to clench his fists to keep himself from pping Elisa across the face. Her words were


    respectful, but her tone was condescending and mocking.


    "I had something to attend to," Paul said with a lilt, though he was boiling with anger.


    He wouldn''t have achieved his current position if he couldn''t maintain hisposure in front of people


    of higher authority.


    Within a short while, Paul hadposed himself and returned to a neutral expression.


    "Since you''re here, take a seat," Elisa said, pointing to a seat on her left. "You''re just in time to listen to


    the uing ns. The next one has to do with market research, the department you''re in charge of."


    She didn''t spare another nce at Paul.


    Paul seethed with anger, his face red and his fists clenched. He knew he couldn''tsh out at Elisa, so


    he sat down and tried to calm himself down.
