Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 505

Before they could react, an announcement from the president appeared on the forum. There were three announcements.

The first was that the Crossley Group would not be bought out by the Pearson Group. Secondly, the Crossley Group would slowly recover and everyone should do their jobs as assigned to them. Thirdly, all owed salaries had been paid out. The extra thousand was a symbol of thanks for not leaving and staying on with the company. While it wasn't much, it was still a heartfelt gesture.

The people who had been criticizing Leanna immediately became silent. Everyone had waited far too long for their salary and many thought that she was merely here to keep up appearances. No one would have guessed that she would immediately resolve the most pressing issue on everyone's minds on her very first day.

However, some people felt that there was no chance of the Crossley Group recovering, and they chose to quit. Many had already left after the Leroy Crossley affair. Coupled with the fiasco from today, it had reduced the number of employees in the company to nearly half. As a result, the entire office building seemed deserted and quiet.

Leanna was deep in thought as she looked down at the street from the window of her office when Freddie's voice came from behind her. "Do you regret it?"

She shook her head. "All those who left already made their intentions clear. None of them are focused on their work anymore and it's best to find someplace more suitable rather than wasting their time here. However, those who chose to stay for any reason also put a lot of effort into their work."

Everyone knew that now was the best time to leave since those who planned to waste their time here couldn't do so any longer. That was why those left in the company would be much more hardworking and focused. The survival of the Crossley Group would depend on them and they would have to try their best.

Freddie commented, "I've already read the details of the projects and will soon discuss what needs to be taken care of with them individually. But do you trust them that much? Do you know what you will face if they betray you?"

She looked away and turned to him. "I've got some idea of that."

"Well, why did you assign such an important task to them?"

"I don't have any other candidates to choose from," she answered. "Besides, there's no one else more suited to the job."

Freddie frowned. He already knew that the whole mess that was the Crossley Group would be hard to clear up and this only proved it.
