Aileen was surprised that Mavis would stand up and speak up.
She was simply inviting trouble!
After all, Mavis was just an intern who was still going through probation, so she could not afford to take responsibility for something like this.
Aileen shook her head at her and motioned for her to sit down, but Mavis took the initiative to walk out.
As things were getting interesting, everyone in the conference room was eager to see what Mavis wanted to do.
Mavis walked over to the big screen, picked up the remote control, and adjusted it to the darkest color.
Then, she picked up a marker on the side and started writing on the whiteboard.
After writing down a few big titles, Mavis cleared her throat and said, "Ms. Hayward gave me full responsibility for the proposal, and I'm grateful for the chance to complete it on my own. It's my fault that I failed to submit the proposal. Ms. Hayward should not have to take the blame for me. I've let down her trust in me, and I've also negatively impacted the company. I'm sorry."
As she spoke, Mavis bowed deeply again.
Nathaniel frowned and remained silent.
She continued, "I'm just an intern in the company, an existence that's almost neglectable. I don't have high qualifications or outstanding skills, but I believe that with hard work, I can achieve a lot. Through this period of internship, I've learned a lot that I never had the opportunity to learn before, and Ms. Hayward's guidance definitely helped me out a lot. I'm very grateful to her. Unlike the other departments in the company, the logistics department is responsible for the logistical support of all departments. For the planning related to the logistics department, these are my ideas."
Nathaniel's slender fingertips tapped on the table rhythmically as he watched Mavis speak.
In just half a month, she had become much more confident, exuding a different kind of charm.
He rested his chin in his hand and listened to what she had to say next.
Mavis spoke passionately, and many agreed with her ideas.
"Most companies still treat the logistics department as a miscellaneous department, but it is not. If the board of directors is the brain of the company, then the logistics department is the heart of the company. The logistics department needs to coordinate the operation of all departments and ensure the daily needs of each department. I think the company should…"
Mavis spoke gracefully, continuing with the presentation.
Nathaniel would… probably be unhappy that she explained her proposal in front of everyone, right?
She clenched her hands tightly, sitting on pins and needles.
After a long while, Nathaniel finally broke the silence.
"Mavis is an intern in the company's logistics department, but she has a good understanding of some concepts. There's potential in her, but…"
He paused at this point, his eyes fixed on her.
The word "but", which represents a turning point in thought, made Mavis so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Nonetheless, she did not dare to guess his thoughts casually or even have any wishful thoughts.
"The loss of the proposal is indeed your carelessness. If you weren't responsible for something related to the logistics department today, it could have resulted in significant losses for the company. If you want to get through your internship and make up for your mistakes in the future, you need to consider how to fix the problems you've caused."
