Chapter 291 A Battle for Control

Clarissa looked overly confident, as if she were the only one capable of solving Lockhart Group's current problems.
She strutted up to the desk and looked down at Zev with arrogance. "Zion, you must have been in a mess these past few days without me, right? This position still isn't quite right for you."
Leaning back in his chair, Zev smirked. “I have to say, I truly admire your thick skin."
"Apologies, Mr. Zion," Clarissa's assistant said hesitantly. "Mr. Wade requested Ms. Clarissa's return to handle the company's crisis. Right now, the HR department and lower-level staff are on strike, and numerous underlying issues exist. Ms. Clarissa is the only one who can resolve them."
"Where's the reinstatement document?" Hanson stepped forward and asked coldly.
Clarissa's assistant hesitated momentarily before replying, "Mr. Wade contacted Ms. Clarissa directly."
"Zion, you're already a grown man. Stop acting like a child. This position isn't suitable for you. Since you love your freedom so much, you should go and enjoy it," Clarissa said in a lowered voice, pressing her hands against the desk as she tried to force him out.
Zev laced his fingers together, watching her with a mocking smile.
Clearly, this expression infuriated Clarissa. "Zion! Are you going to keep messing around? Do you think the company's interests are a joke?"
"Reinstatement document," Zev said, extending his hand toward her.
"If you don't believe me, go ask Wade," Clarissa said in a low voice.
"You made a huge mistake, yet you still dare to return? You've got some nerve. Since you insist on reclaiming this position, you should be responsible for fixing things. Bring him here yourself, and I'll step down," Zev said shamelessly, stalling for time.
Clarissa clenched her fists in anger. "Zion, you're absolutely..."
"Hanson, go do what you need to," Zev instructed, signaling him to take care of the striking employees. It was up to the HR manager whether through appeasement or firm action.
Now that the HR manager had already betrayed Clarissa, she had no choice but to pick a side to survive.
Hanson gave Zev a knowing glance, nodded, and left.
From this point on, it was up to Zev to keep stalling.
"Zion, the company's entrance is still surrounded by journalists and protesting employees' families. Are you sure you want to continue this reckless behavior?" Clarissa slammed her hand on the desk. "Do you even understand what corporate management is?"
