Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 270

The doubt in Harvey's eyes vanished, replaced entirely by admiration and praise. "I didn't expect that you would have such an opportunity. I'm looking forward to it."

"I won't let you down."

...

After Harvey left, Angela asked everyone to start buying leather again. She then held a meeting with the factory employees, urging them to work overtime and stay focused on their goals.

"It's impossible to finish the order. We put in so much effort, but everything ended up in ashes. Is this deal still on?"

"That's right. There was a big fire just now, and everyone is still panicking. How can we stay positive?"

"Ms. Graham is ridiculous. Does she think we're all magicians?"

While Angela spoke on stage, the workers below whispered, visibly dissatisfied. Noticing this, Clara waited for Angela to pause and then informed her about their comments.

Angela offered a faint smile, having fully anticipated this. It was simply a part of human nature.

As she prepared to speak again, she began with these words, "I understand everyone has just gone through a significant crisis, and recovery will undoubtedly take time. As such, I won't put any pressure on you.

"For those ready to continue working, I'll offer triple wages, with an additional 1,000-dollar bonus for outstanding performance.

"For those who prefer to take a break, I'll arrange for you to have leave, provided it doesn't hinder our future production schedule.

Angela felt more relieved. After the meeting, she reached out to Callum, informing him that she had something significant to discuss. She urged him to set aside his other tasks, assuring him she would be there shortly.

Callum seemed to have sensed Angela's intentions and expressed that he had been anticipating her arrival. Suddenly, Angela felt touched; she struggled to hold back tears.

As she drove out of the factory gates, her way was unexpectedly blocked by a black SUV.

The modified vehicle was large and imposing, almost exuding an air of arrogance that was hard to ignore. Instantly, Angela recognized it as Dexter's car.

She wondered why he was there. While his being there was acceptable, his obstruction of the road was not. Thus, she pressed the horn and urged him to move aside.

Dexter rolled down the window, showing his handsome face framed by sunglasses. His black jacket and stern expression matched the car's strong vibe.
