Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 147

I had always counted on my skills, not who I knew. Even back at Riverwave Corp, where everyone saw me as the future CEO's fiancee, I refused to just be arm candy.

After a week, I dug through all the marketing clients' files and checked out what the company had going on. I even took the time to see how each person in the marketing team was doing, focusing on what they'd pulled off over the past six months. Then I switched up the workload and introduced a new reward-and-punishment system based on incentives.

They say a new boss comes in ready to shake things up, but I wasn't here to scare anyone. My goal was to inspire-to get everyone to give their best, not just for themselves but for the company too. It was also my way of paying back the company for taking a chance on me, despite the pressure Jace put on them.

Just when I was feeling good about where the marketing department was headed, I got hit with some bad news. The team reported that all our current clients were suddenly trying to bail on their contracts. Even the ones we were in talks with were now coming up with excuses to back out.

I knew right away-this had Jace written all over it.

When Jace couldn't pressure the company into dropping me, he switched to sneakier moves-stealing our clients to push the company to ditch me.

Since this mess was on me, I went straight to Ron to spill the tea. After listening, he just smiled. "Don't stress about it. Any client he can snatch wasn't really ours to begin with. We'll find new ones."

Ron's chill reaction threw me off. I showed him the reports, making it clear that Jace had taken almost eighty percent of our clients.

"It's all good. As long as they don't take you away, I'm sure you'll bring in new clients to replace the ones we lost," Ron said, his confidence in me shining through.
