"Erica," Victoria called.Erica looked at Victoria with tears on her face. She sobbed when her grandmother came to see her after what she did at the party. She was devastated that Victoria had trusted Nancy and given her the title of CEO.Nate stood next to Erica. They both looked at Nancy and Victoria in turn. Erica frowned as her grandmother approached her, clasping her hands with a face full of panic."Erica, are you okay?" asked Victoria. She regretted choosing Nancy as CEO instead of Erica. She should have kept her word, but regrets always came too late."Of course, she's not okay. You broke your promise and chose Nancy as CEO. You said you would choose Erica. She even got the deal, to the extent of inviting Bluebell's president to a party she'd never met. Isn't Erica dedication greater than hers?" Nate glanced sharply at Nancy who stood beside Victoria."It's all Nancy's fault! It's her greed. She kept saying that you were lying. That you did the wrong thing to get the deal. Tha
After Erica came out of the restroom, Victoria immediately asked her to contact Morgan and ask Morgan to change her decision. If the Bluebell company canceled their deal, the company would go bankrupt. The debts they had were piling up and she would not be able to pay them off. Everything would be destroyed in the blink of an eye. And this partnership was vital to their survival.And Victoria had opened her eyes wide and realized that Erica was the key to the company's success. Making her CEO was the right decision. That's why she wouldn't make the wrong decision again.Erica walked out of the party area into the courtyard. She planned to catch up with Morgan and see if she was still there. But Morgan had already left. She worriedly dialed Morgan's cell phone. It took a while for her to receive the call."Hello, Morgan," Erica greeted as soon as her call was connected."Miss Erica," Morgan greeted back from the other end."Morgan, is what I'm hearing right now true? That you canceled
Erica hugged Victoria with a big smile. She felt very happy and grateful. She could not hide her happiness as she had been appointed CEO of the Starry White company. After all the things that happened, her previous struggles were not appreciated. Everything had changed. She got what was rightfully hers, which was to become the new head of her family's company.And she was able to prove to everyone that it's not just men who can be CEO, but women too. It also proved to her family and cousins who often mocked and belittled her. That she is talented and she is not someone who can be put down at any time. She was able to become a CEO with all the hard work she put in. She had even gotten a deal with the Bluebell Company again when they had previously canceled it unilaterally."Grandma, thank you for keeping your promise," Erica said with a smile. She hugged Victoria tightly before letting go again."I made the wrong decision because I listened to Nancy. Now you're the CEO and the company
The next morning was Erica's first day as a CEO. She was excited, nervous, and happy. Early in the morning, she was ready to go. And she has checked everything about the company. Since it was her first time holding a company as CEO, Erica had to check its income for the past few years, documents related to cooperation, and so on. She also had to take care of how much the company had lost so that she could think of ways to solve the workers' salary problems so as not to make the company even more in the woods.Although the Bluebell company had given her a lot of money, it only helped to keep the company from going bankrupt, but for everything else, there was still no solution. And as CEO, Erica would try her hardest to bring the Starry White company through all of its current crises.As she was getting ready in front of the mirror, Nate came out of the bathroom. He had just showered in the full clothes he had put on, but his hair was a little wet. He looked at Erica with his appearance
Nate's eyes sharpened when he saw Robert coming. He walked towards him with a swaggering demeanor, so relaxed, as if he enjoyed the way he was overwhelmed by the protesters who had lost control of themselves.Nate clenched his hands into fists as Robert stood directly in front of him, staring at him with a mocking gaze. He smiled broadly at Nate's disheveled appearance due to the attack from the protesters."You really are a beggar now," he said, "but you usually are."Nate rolled his eyes in reply. He had to hold his temper. There was no point in fighting with an old man who had no attitude. It was a waste of time."You'd better leave before you get hit by a rock and your head bleeds. Of course, you won't be able to use it to think anymore. Or you've been acting without thinking," Nate said, trying to irritate Robert, but he laughed instead. Nate frowned with a puzzled expression.Why is he so calm and confident? Nate thought."Don't be a smart ass. What are you going to do to the pr
As he watched Robert leave with a triumphant smile, Nate began to understand that this was all his game. He had deliberately done this to destabilize Erica. To make her mentally unstable so that Erica would get scared and resign from her position as CEO. But he would never let that happen. As long as he was in this world, no one would be able to hurt Erica, not even by the tip of her hair.Nate stared at Robert's back who was no longer visible, entering the building. He then looked at the protesters who were still shouting for their salaries to be given immediately or for Erica should step down as CEO. They wanted wages, not a new CEO.This made Erica feel uneasy. How could she get so much money to pay all the workers' wages, while the company itself was also in crisis and almost bankrupt? So, what should she do to solve this problem?"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Nate reassured Erica, but he knew she was feeling uneasy. Judging by the look on her face, Erica was afraid that
"Okay, I'll take care of the wage payments for all the workers right away," the Manager replied to Erica."Please take good care of it and don't miss anything. I don't want to see them protesting in front of the building again and not getting their due. They also need money to live their lives," Erica reminded.The manager nodded his head. "Yes, I understand. I will do as you say. You don't have to worry.""Um, is the money given by Bluebell's president enough to pay all the workers' wages?" asked Erica curiously."Yes, I think it's more than enough. Even more than what we need," replied the Manager."Thank goodness. I'm very grateful that they're willing to send us cooperation money and help with the workers' current wage problem," said Erica. She let out a long breath. She was no longer as worried and nervous as she had been a few minutes ago. She was so afraid that if she couldn't take care of the wage issue, she would blame herself for not being a good CEO."In that case, I will t
"Erica," Theo greeted Erica. He shook Erica's hand with a big smile and Erica returned his handshake. She smiled politely and immediately removed her hand from Theo."Hello, Theo," said Erica."Yesterday, I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on becoming CEO. Congratulations to you," Theo said."Thank you, Theo.""Oh, I heard from your mother, that you're in big trouble. She called me and told me that there were some workers protesting in front of the building. But I didn't see it," Theo explained, "By the way, I came here to help you.""Before I left, they were still there," Maria said."All the problems have been clear," Nate replied.Maria and Theo frowned. They stared in disbelief at Nate."You? How is that possible?" asked Theo in a mocking tone. "How can a loser take care of such a big problem?""That's right, Erica, tell us. Is the problem clear? We should ask Theo for help. He's already here, so let him take care of all the problems," Maria said, then tugged on Theo’s arm
