The executives seemed to want to intimidate the newly appointed Rayna, as they spoke very fast when reporting without having any consideration for her and even used abbreviations for some professional terminology.

However, Rayna maintained a neutral expression the entire time, scanning through the documents on the table while listening to the reports from the various departments.

She sat there with her legs crossed, radiating a powerful aura.

By the time the executives finished reporting their work, Rayna had also finished reading all those documents.

She praised herself inwardly as she swept her gaze over the two thick stacks of documents on the table. After remaining beside Curtis for so long, I have even picked up his multitasking skills.

The image of the man’s calm and composed demeanor that suddenly popped into her head made her heart twinge.

What’s the point of thinking about him? That man has long found a new love. How could he possibly remember me?

Seeing that Rayna had not spoken a word, the assistant beside her carefully inquired, “Do you have anything to say, Ms. Garland?”

“Yes.” Rayna took a deep breath to suppress the irritation in her heart before taking out one of the documents and hurling it to the center of the conference table, making everyone jump and look at her.

She then instructed the assistant flatly, “Open this year’s first quarterly report.”

“Right away.” The assistant did as she was told, and the pie chart of the quarterly report soon appeared on the projector screen.

“Is this the first quarterly report?” Rayna pointed at the projector, her gaze piercing. “At the beginning of this year, the company launched three new products with an A-list celebrity as spokesperson, and the promotion expenses were higher than last year. But why is the revenue for this first quarterly report not as good as last year’s? Not only was the spokesperson for the few new products launched at the same time last year a D-list celebrity, but the expenses were also lower.”

Someone from the marketing department spoke up. “Ms. Garland, those few products last year sold well because they rode on the popularity of a movie. There’s no such thing this year, so—”

“So it’s understandable that the first quarterly report isn’t as good as last year’s even if we hire an A-list celebrity and spend so much on promotion?” Rayna smiled as she completed his words. “Is that right?”
