The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 726

Once she had an idea, Carlotta Yarbrough wasted no time putting it into action.

Within minutes, she’d gathered all the company’s senior executives for a meeting.

When Citrine announced her plan for a company retreat, everyone in the room stared at her in disbelief.

A few of the executives immediately voiced their objections.

“President Carmichael, you just went viral online and our sales have skyrocketed. We should be capitalizing on this momentum, working overtime—not running off for a retreat right now.”

“That’s right, President Carmichael. If we use this opportunity to launch our new smart robot, we’ll make a killing.”

“How can we pass up a chance like this? Don’t you want to make money, President Carmichael?”

Citrine sat at the head of the table, her brow furrowed as she tapped her fingers idly against the polished wood.

Sebastian glanced up just in time to catch the look on her face. He didn’t need to guess—he knew she was silently cursing these old-timers. Judging by her expression, it wasn’t anything polite.

He couldn’t help but let a small smile tug at his mouth.

Meanwhile, some other executives were quick to voice their support.

“President Carmichael, you really care about us. You have no idea—my team has been so swamped lately that hardly anyone smiles anymore. They’ll be over the moon when they hear about this.”

“Don’t listen to them, President Carmichael. We need a break. There’s always more money to be made, but you can’t buy back your health.”

“I’m all for the retreat, President Carmichael. This is the perfect chance to recharge. After all, a short pause is just so we can sprint ahead even faster.”

. . .

Most of the team was clearly in favor of the retreat. Only a handful of the older executives wanted to take advantage of the sales surge to push out the new robot and rake in profits.

Smiling, Citrine addressed the dissenters. “We work hard so we can actually enjoy life. Let’s not lose sight of that. Besides, taking some time to relax is good for our health. Everyone’s been stretched thin these past weeks.”
