When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1141 Are You Firing Me

“So, Ms. Miranda, Charlotte said innocently, “should we agree to terminate those contracts? That would be a massive loss, don’t you think? Maybe we should hand the projects back to Ms. Smith instead.”

Miranda’s face went red with frustration, feeling the mounting embarrassment.

Watching from her seat, Cecilia fought back a smirk, clearly amused by the unfolding drama.

Meanwhile, Charlotte continued, undeterred. “Honestly, we don’t even know if the clients are still interested at this point?”

“Get out! Now!” Miranda’s voice reached a fever pitch, her temper flaring as she all but screamed for Charlotte to leave.

The rest of the room watched the spectacle with amused expressions, taking in the show. But before Charlotte could slip out, Elena, who had remained silent up until now, spoke up. “Wait a minute,” Elena called out, her tone firm but calm. “You don’t need to leave just yet.”

Elena couldn’t have been more relieved that she had attended the meeting today. Had she not been there, she might have remained blissfully unaware of the underhanded scheming taking place right under her nose.

Before Miranda could gather her thoughts, the managers from other departments couldn’t hold back any longer. They quickly jumped in, airing their grievances.

“Mdm. Elena, our department had a promising project, but Ms. Miranda took it from us,” one of them accused.

Too ashamed to admit that Adrian had handed the projects to Miranda, they resorted to claiming they were taken by force.

Elena was no fool, and she saw through their attempts to save face. “Since when did Orion Corporation become the Leighton family’s playground?” she asked, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.
