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 to come 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 her computer screen, glanced 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 it lasted 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 further comments? If not, this month’s meeting will be adjourned.”
Many people began closing their laptops 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 applauding 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 the company’s CEO, you’re engaging in office romance, Ms. Lawson, you not only lack shame but also think that this is normal. Why should all the executives believe an incompetent person like you can lead the Lawson Group effectively?”
Sheena slammed 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 and lacking discipline?”
”
After a momentary pause, Sheena continued, “Furthermore, you’re calling me incompetent? I’ve only been in this position for a few days, and you’re already predicting that I can’t increase the company’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, completely disregarding his status as a company veteran.
Sheena gave a cold snort, glaring at him with icy eyes.
“Mr. Atkins, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve been with the company for thirty years and hold a high position. I won’t indulge you as Corey did! Today’s incident will be handled according 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
