Two days earlier, she had deployed her trusted subordinates to thwart Nalaâs partnership.
Now, it was time to see the outcome.
Fortune, like a revolving door, was about to bring someone else the sting of impending doom.
Just as Lucinda sat on the chair, there was a knock on the door.
Her subordinate, who had successfully intercepted the partnership from Nala, entered with a document in hand.
âMiss Simmons, this outlines the partnership between AN Group and TOA Group.
I persistently applied both firm and gentle tactics with TOAâs representative, ultimately securing the contract.
Just as they were ready to sign, TOA withdrew,â the subordinate explained.
Nala, anticipating victory, faced the most painful interception just before sealing the deal.
Pleased, Lucinda commended, âExcellent work.
Give me all the details.
â
The subordinate nodded respectfully.
Then he enthusiastically began detailing the events.
âWhen I saw Nala leave the conference room, her anger was evident and her eyes were red.
Your strategy was truly strong.
â
Lucinda sneered inside.
A mere partnership wasnât significant.
With Danilo backing Nala, Lucinda aimed to beat AN Group, leaving Nala without support.
Being set up for a car accident, being shot, being hit by a stick in the back of the head, all of these.
Lucinda aimed for both Nala and Danilo to pay a substantial price.
The severed partnership marked just the beginning of their losses.
Lucinda also aimed to uncover Nalaâs true identity.
With these thoughts, Lucindaâs spirits soared.
âYouâve done well securing this partnership.
Head to the financial department for your bonus.
â
âThank you, Miss Simmons,â replied the subordinate, bowing cheerfully.
He exited the office promptly and headed to the financial department to claim his reward.
Shortly after he left, Lucindaâs assistant knocked and entered.
She informed her, âMiss Simmons, AN Groupâs supervisor, Miss Diaz, wishes to schedule a meeting with you in the coming days.
Would you like to meet her?â
Nala, currently abroad and distant, was likely displeased with the partnership seized by Lucinda, prompting her quick return home.
That was why Nala couldnât wait to make an appointment with her.
Lucinda responded coldly, âNo.
Inform her that my schedule is full this week and she must wait.
â
âUnderstood, Miss Simmons.
â
After the assistant left, Lucinda had a calm afternoon.
