Rowan held considerable seniority within the company. Even Howard respected him when he was in charge.

that Lysander suddenly became his superior, it was no surprise that Rowan felt dissatisfied.

Lysander listened quietly as the discussion progressed, occasionally jotting down notes related to the project.

Rowan, feeling no need to be courteous, spoke confidently as if he were the highest authority in the company. At moments, his passion caused him to strike the table for emphasis.

“The financial report this month was truly abysmal. We couldn’t collect the payments for the goods, and sales have drastically decreased. I really don’t know what the sales department has been doing! And what about the legal department? Aren’t they supposed to handle uncollected final payments? Even though Mr. Guerra isn’t in charge of Thorne Constructions and Energies anymore, I am still around!”

Another man with gold–rimmed glasses joined the conversation. “Ms. Thorne, increasing revenue and cutting costs may sound easy, but in the end, it is just empty talk. Do you have any brilliant ideas?”

Lysander matched him with the finance director’s name on the files and nodded. “I am new here, lacking experience and expertise. Mr. Barrera, if you have better ideas, please share them, and let us discu together.”

“I’ve seen everyone’s resumes and profiles, but honestly, I am still getting to know everyone’s faces. So, Mr. Barrera, any ideas?
