Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 99

The conference room was silent for a moment.

Jason gave me a cold look. "Do you mean that you can do whatever you want in the company, and we can't say otherwise?"

There were whispers of agreement with Jason's words, but there were also some who were staring at us.

Jason had not only gone against me in the meeting, but he was also trying to make things difficult for me. His intentions were clear for all to see.

My face darkened. "So do you mean I can't even decide something so trivial? As the general manager, do I need your permission to carry out my decisions? Or do you mean you're more worthy of this position?"

I stared at him intensely. The incidents last time and this time revealed more of his true nature.

"Mr. Ranford, I never said that." Jason was a cunning man. I had called him out and yet, he was using such simple words to brush it off.

I looked at him calmly. "Since you're okay with it, then it's settled."

Jason wasn't satisfied, but the higher-ups on his side tugged at his sleeve. He stopped speaking.

News of this incident didn't spread, but after the higher-ups went back to their own departments, they started paying more attention to their own department members.

"This is indeed a good idea, but the management might not be pleased." Lindsey had joined this meeting as well.

However, what I had said was my own decision; I hadn't discussed it with her yet. It wasn't that I didn't want to, but her son had been sick for the past two days. She'd had to be with him in the hospital.

"An employee was driven to the edge and was ready to jump off the building. You spent all that time trying to talk him down on the rooftop, and not a single person had the guts to step up and take responsibility. And they have the nerve to complain?"

Lindsey smiled. "Right."
