Chapter 755

Hilda was in a remarkably good mood today. The weekly meeting, which usually dragged on for an hour, was wrapped up in just thirty minutes.

Even more surprising, Hilda was unusually agreeable. When a department manager presented a disastrous marketing proposal-something that would've made her explode on any other day-she simply kept her cool and, in a gentle tone, asked them to revise it.

Anyone who knew Hilda's reputation at work would have been floored. She was known for her zero-tolerance policy toward incompetence; if anyone dared submit a sloppy proposal, she'd publicly eviscerate them until they left the conference room in tears.

So when everyone on the video call noticed their boss's sudden kindness, it didn't take long to connect the dots.

President Saunders' uncharacteristic patience could only mean one thing-her daughter was around.

The team couldn't help but breathe a collective sigh of relief. If President Saunders' daughter hadn't been present, today's meeting would probably have been a nightmare.
