"This is the daughter of our late chairman," Regan said, gesturing dismissively at Anastasia. "She's just a girl, still wet behind the ears and completely out of her depth. I hope you won't take offense at her rudeness."
His tone was fawning toward Sean but dripping with contempt for Anastasia.
Seeing him cozying up to the powerful Mr. Quinn, the employees who had resigned felt a wave of relief wash over them.
There was no way Anastasia could command someone of his stature. It was all an act!
*Hmph, now that Mr. Frost has exposed her, she'll have no choice but to beg us to stay!*
As they were thinking this, Regan extended his hand, expecting a handshake.
However, as everyone watched, Sean’s hands remained at his sides. He had no intention of acknowledging the man.
After giving Regan a strange look, Sean moved, walking smoothly past him to stand before Anastasia.
"Ma'am, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Sean," he said, his voice respectful. "I'm here on Mr. Lancaster's orders to assist you. Please, feel free to give me any instructions."
He was the picture of professionalism, bowing his head slightly in a clear show of deference.
Regan's hand froze in mid-air. He thought he must have misheard.
Everyone stared at Anastasia in utter disbelief.
Anastasia was slightly taken aback but recovered in an instant. "Very well," she said with a smile. "From now on, you will act as the temporary general manager of Unison Pharma Ltd."
She then added decisively, "I'll have a list of vacant positions sent to you shortly. Fill them as you see fit, as soon as possible."
With these people in place, their departure would cause no disruption to Unison Pharma Ltd. whatsoever.
When Anastasia had first fired him, he could have fought to keep his job. Instead, he’d orchestrated this walkout to teach the little brat a lesson and force her to bow to him. He never thought the plan would backfire so spectacularly on himself.
Now, he was really being forced out, and years of his work at the company would be for nothing.
Regan's vision started to blur.
The other employees, who had been so smug just moments before, were now completely stunned, looking to Regan in a panic.
*Wasn't this just an act? Are we really getting kicked out? Where else can we find a company with benefits and pay as good as Unison Pharma?*
