Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 243

"Ms. Bolton," Lila's eyes now carried a hint of coldness. "I seem to remember that the Morgan Group employee manual clearly states that employees are not allowed to speak ill of or attack others.

"You've been with Morgan Group for so many years—if even you, the vice president, haven't learned this, I'm afraid the employees have even less of an excuse."

She smirked and added, "But since it's a corporate policy, I'm sure it can't be ignored, right? How about I bring it up with Mr. Morgan when I return?

"Maybe he can have you a representative, organize a little study session for the employees?" Lila spoke with calm indifference, but each word carried the weight of unshakable authority.

Shannon narrowed her eyes dangerously. She had initially thought Lila was just a harmless little puppy, but to her surprise, the girl could bite back.

She raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a dismissive smile. "You think Mr. Morgan is someone you think you can just order around?"

She chuckled, then continued, "I really should stop arguing with a little girl. I've seen you now, so if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I still have to rush back and accompany Mr. Morgan for tonight's banquet."

Shannon scanned Lila up and down with obvious amusement before she turned and left.
