The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 85

The lights flickered on with a snap.

As the man suddenly appeared, not just the others but even Mathew was stunned.

"Mr. Neil, what brings you here?"

Neil was the big boss of NY, leagues above Mathew's position as a department manager.

Hearing Mathew's words, Neil couldn't help but laugh and sigh of frustration, "Why do you think I'm here? Who did you award this trophy to? Are you deaf?"

Catching the fury in Neil's eyes, Mathew felt a pang of guilt but didn't get a chance to speak.

Susan jumped in, "Mr. Neil, Mathew awarded the trophy to me, but Lena was far from pleased. She even publicly questioned Mathew, questioning the integrity of our NY office!"

"That's right, Mr. Neil. Lena has gone too far. Her submission didn't even make it past the preliminaries, yet she dares to challenge me here," Mathew scoffed.

Neil's expression went from heated to icy instantly, his gaze shifting to Nancy and Judson, supporting her from below the stage.

Meeting Judson's sharp, hawk-like gaze, Neil felt like he had a bucket of ice water dumped on him. He quickly turned to Mathew and snapped, "Shut up!"

Was this idiot trying to drag him into his mess? He had made it clear that this conference had to collaborate with Lena. Yet, this fool blatantly did the opposite! And to mock Lena before Judson was the height of foolishness!

Mathew's face fell, "Mr. Neil, you've changed. Or do you think I'm wrong?"

Failing even to pass the preliminaries, why bother collaborating?

And after years at the NY office, could they afford to fire him for not choosing Lena?

Furrowing his brow, Neil was about to rebuke when an icy voice cut through, "Right or wrong, just bring out Lena's draft. Everyone here can judge who's superior."
