Chapter 204

With a clatter, the cup in the secretary’s hand fell to the ground, and her face.

turned pale with fright. The three of them stood frozen, afraid to make a move.

Calmly, Isabella approached them, poured herself a cup of water, and leaned against the table with her cup, casually observing the young girls. “It seems you are quite interested in my suit,” she remarked.

The tall girl immediately burst into tears and hurriedly apologized. “Miss Symons, I’m sorry. We weren’t talking about you-”

Isabella laughed. “Why are you crying? You didn’t say anything wrong. I don’t mind.”

The young girls exchanged glances, clearly not believing her, and Isabella adopted a gentle tone, like that of an elder sister. “Gossiping is common in the office,” she said, taking a sip of water. Her eyes curved as she asked, “Why don’t you introduce yourselves? What are your names?”

“I’m Gabriela Sanchez.”

“And I’m Samantha Jennings.”

Isabella nodded. “Alright, I got it.” She walked out gracefully with her cup in hand, leaving the young girls in a daze.

“What does she mean?” they whispered behind her.

Isabella smiled brightly as she arrived at the secretary department’s door.

The head secretary, Phoebe Sanders, appeared to be around thirty years old, exuding a mature and steady aura. “Miss Symons, I’m Phoebe Sanders. How may I assist you?” she asked.

Isabella remained indifferent, casually stating, “Notify HR that Gabriela Sanchez, Heidi Birch, and Samantha Jennings from the secretary department are to be fired.”

Shocked, Phoebe opened her mouth but couldn’t find the right words. After she glanced at the pantry, she seemed to understand the situation, and before she could plead, Isabella continued coldly, “Also, tell HR to hire new 09:54 Mon, 8 Jan Chapter 204 The Ruthless President people.”

“Yes!” Phoebe replied, her voice filled with astonishment.

Expressionlessly, Isabella turned around and returned to her office. She had been contemplating where to start and hadn’t expected the first cut to be so close to home. This is good. The secretary department is now clean, and I have one less thing to worry about.

Soon, low sobbing could be heard from outside, along with Phoebe’s attempts at persuasion, which eventually turned into cursing. Isabella chuckled silently. These young girls act as if they just entered the workplace, cursing their former boss as if they don’t want to stay in the industry anymore.

She called security and had the young girls escorted out. Not long after, Michael hurried down from upstairs to plead for the young secretaries, to Isabella’s surprise.

Isabella closed a file with a smile. “Mr. Zimmers, aren’t you busy today?”

09:54 Mon, 8 Jan Chapter 204 The Ruthless President Michael was taken aback. “What?”

“Nemotors is worth nearly 300 million. As the CFO, you should be very busy. Is a small change in HR worth your attention?”

Chuckling lightly, Michael was not embarrassed and sighed instead. “They are just young girls. It’s not easy-”

Isabella wiped the smile off her face and said in a decisive tone, “The company has also faced hardships to get to where it is today. A small hole can sink a great ship, and it’s normal to remove a few bad apples for the sake of the company.” Then, her smile returned. “Mr. Zimmers, go and get busy. I rely heavily on a pillar of the company like you.”

While rubbing his hands, he repeatedly said that he was unworthy and invited Isabella to lunch, but she politely declined.

He chuckled, saying, “Well… I’ll get on with my work, then.”

As Isabella watched him leave, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Interesting.” She stretched her muscles, checked the time, and realized it was lunchtime. Just 09:54 Mon, Chapter 204 The Ruthless President as she was contemplating where to eat, her phone rang. This is..
