Aurelia was quite intuitive. Although Leslie hadn’t said anything, she could still understand what he was


    trying to convey.


    At that moment, no one on the other side had spoken up except for Eva. Lucia, who was the most


    important person in the meeting room, had remained silent.


    Aurelia stood up with a smile and responded, “Ms. Hanks, how could you use us of denying


    responsibility? We’re obviously trying to have a proper discussion with you. Since we have differing


    opinions, let’s enjoy a cup of coffee and calmly discuss this. We have plenty of time anyway.”


    Eva was genuinely enraged. She picked up the cup and drank half of the coffee, but then. put it down


    with a grimace of disgust.


    “Did you actually serve us instant coffee?” she asked.


    “Sorry, I only saw instant coffee on the table,” Aurelia exined as her gaze subtly shifted toward


    Lucia.


    Lucia took a sip as well since her cup was still in her hand. She nced around at the people around


    her, all of whom were drinking coffee.


    Unlike the others, she was holding a cup of tea instead.


    Aurelia actually went all out on that tea, which cost 700 dors per pound.


    Lucia also realized something was amiss. She set her cup down and looked at Aurelia.


    Aurelia smiled amiably. She was confident that Lucia understood her intention.


    Aurelia had learned about Lucia’s preferences from the information Leslie showed her. When they


    happened to pass by a tea emporium on their way, she bought some ck tea that Lucia enjoyed.


    She tailored her approach ording to Lucia’s preferences.


    If Lucia realized her drink was different from everyone else’s, she’d naturally be suspicious. After


    sipping the tea and realizing that it was her favorite kind, she should have realized that Aurelia was


    trying to get her attention.


    After a brief moment of eye contact, Lucia forcefully set down her cup of tea and red


    al Eva. A


    “Ms. Hanks, we expect you to address the problem without stirring up further issues here. You should


    also be aware that the ne was borrowed in the name of IN Magazine. If you can’t handle this


    well, everyone will be held ountable,” Lucia remarked.


    Lucia’s remark immediately shifted all the responsibility onto Eva.


    Eva was initially a bit frustrated, but she soon regained herposure.


    “Rest assured, Ms. Lawson. I’ll definitely take care of it,” said Eva.


    “Take care of it? In such a short time, the agreement you drafted has already be invalid. What


    else can you do to resolve this?” Lucia eximed angrily.


    Everyone present nodded in agreement, feeling that the situation had be moreplicated than


    before.


    Eva was furious. She remembered how Lucia had been against her ever since she joined thepany.


    After all, Lucia thought her frequent job changes meant she wasn’t reliable, and promoting her to a


    director position right away felt like a huge risk.


    Although she was already the fashion director, Lucia would find fault in all of her decisions. As a result,


    she had long been displeased with Lucia.


    Was Lucia trying to shift all the me on her? Did she really think she would be frightened by that?


    Eva casually nced at Lucia and said with certainty, “I can assure you that I’ll be able to solve it.”


    “Ms. Hanks, actions speak louder than words. What can you assure us of? Are you capable of ensuring


    IN Magazine’s credibility in Carlino?” Lucia questioned.


    Eva sensed the disdain in Lucia’s tone and stood up, stating, “If I can’t help thepany solve this


    issue, I’m willing to step down as Fashion Director of IN Magazine.”


    Lucia arched a brow as she looked at her. “Alright. Since so many people are here as witne s, I hope


    you’ll handle this matter properly for thepany.”


    Eva responded with a grin, “Rest assured, Ms. Lawson. We have witnesses who can prove that


    Aurelia’s actions led to the damage of the ne.”


    Aurelia interjected, “Ms. Hanks, everyone present here is from your own team, testimony shouldn’t be


    valid, right?”


    * their


    “Kimberly isn’t considered part of ourpany, right? She’s willing to testify that it was your retaliation


    that led to the ne being dropped,” she said.


    Eva gazed at the meeting room door with a triumphant look and shouted, “Pleasee in, Ms.
