Chapter 1826 Hypocrite

But her eyes were like two empty sockets, devoid of any emotion.

Rochelle stood rooted to her spot, unable to move. She didn't dare to drink or take her seat. Her eyes widened in fear. The atmosphere in the meeting room turned awkward.

She then shot a pleading gaze at Paul.

Paul cleared his throat and said, "Exactly, Ms. Benett. Ms. Matterson has a point. This doesn't seem right."

Elisa's lips lifted slightly in an indiscernible look as she tapped her finger on the table. No one could tell what was going through her head.

Elisa scanned the meeting table and asked, "What do the people here think?"

She proposed a discussion, but her authoritative voice demanded a response.

No one dared to speak up.

As Paul was about to say something, Elisa threw Rochelle's report onto the ground.

Everyone was left in shock by her unexpected actions.

Even Paul stood frozen, struggling to wrap his mind around what had happened.

"The rules need to be changed if it doesn't work. Also, I sent the proposal for Bella's promotion two weeks ago. Why didn't you approve it?" Elisa lowered her voice, emphasizing every work clearly.

This was the first time that Elisa had lashed out in anger, especially towards someone with such a high status in the company.

Although Elisa had nothing to lose by going against Paul, she had never directly expressed it to his face.

Paul had never respected Elisa, and now that she targeted him, he would only become more arrogant and condescending.

However, he had a thick skin from years of experience, so Elisa's threatening remarks rolled off his back. He kept his composure and feigned a saddened expression, but inside, he was seething with anger.

"I know this matter upsets you," he said, "but the company does not tolerate anyone who obtains their position through connections. If I approve her promotion, there will be more problems that will arise in the future. It is already an unusual practice for Bella to join the company, and now you want her to be promoted in such a short time. She can't depend on connections to climb her way up. It would be inevitable that other employees would be displeased with the unfair decision."

Elisa snickered at his remarks. She was baffled yet amused by how he acted as if he cared for the company.

"Mr. Grayson, are you sure that's not how you feel?" she asked, her eyes narrowed at him in a provocative stare.
