The banter between the two left everyone both inside and outside the office in shock.
While Hazel was listening to their conversation, she had her fists clenched so tightly that her nails were digging into the palm of her hands. Even Secretary Lawson of the great Sandfort City is pleading with Janet? How is she worth all this respect she’s receiving from everyone? Although she is a good author, she has a lousy character. No amount of talent can make up for that!
Meanwhile, Madelaine was unable to comprehend the situation and only kept her head lowered while biting down on her lip. She was stunned by how high and mighty Janet was now that even the daughter of the president of Yobril’s National Council could not win over her. Who else could defeat her now? Emily might be the only one left.
The people outside the office expressed their shock.
“Tsk, tsk. As someone with such strong principles, Eric even delayed the event for Janet? What is happening?”
“F*ck. That means that as long as Janet doesn’t show up, the hundreds of authors and committee members are just going to be dawdling away?”
“Oh, sh*t. But there are hundreds of authors there. Are they all just waiting for Janet?”
“Mr. Lawson is saying that he wants her to take over as chairperson for The Tenth Writers Association, isn’t he?”
“That can’t be. All this time, the chairperson of the association was always older artists in their forties or fifties. Don’t tell me he’s going to break the custom for Janet this time?
“What? I didn’t hear that clearly. The chairperson of The Tenth Writers Association?”
Eric did not avoid the topic. He was blunt and biased as he said, “Yes, Rose has to be the next chairperson of the Writers Association.”
Janet raised her eyebrows. Knowing that she was unable to hide from it, she said, “You’ve witnessed this yourself, Mr. Goldstein. I won’t be able to attend class for today.”
Robert pushed his glasses up. “You may go.”
After he said that, Janet looked sideways and raised a brow at Eric. “Are we still not leaving yet, Old Man Lawson?”
Eric nodded with a smile. Before he turned around, he swept his eyes over Hazel and Madelaine coldly.
Madelaine kept her head down and did not dare to meet his eyes, but Hazel had her fists clenched and was gritting her teeth with a menacing look on her face.
After letting out a light scoff, he followed Janet at her heels.
Watching them walk out one after the other from the back, Hazel stomped her foot aggressively and almost broke into tears from the rage.
Throughout her life, no one had ever dared to push her around this way before. She never thought that she would be put in her place by Janet today.
She wanted more than anything to leap at Janet now and rip off the hypocritical look on her face.
This was impossible for her to bear!
Meanwhile, at the Lowry Family Conglomerate, a man was sitting at his office table with Reddit opened on his screen.
He had kept a portion of the negative posts under control.
Rubbing his brows in frustration, he wondered how Janet was handling the situation.
Just then, a few knocks came from outside.
He looked up at the big door and said, “Come in.”
Sean pushed the door open and came inside. Coming forward, he said respectfully, “Young Master Mason, Mr. Goldstein called to inform you that Miss Jackson has dealt with the matter at hand, so you don’t have to worry.”
Upon hearing that, the deep crease between his brows relaxed a little.
“That’s good.” Jan is becoming more efficient at getting things done.
Sean glanced up at him and added, “Mr. Goldstein also said that Miss Jackson has gone to The Tenth Writers Association Meeting.”
“The Tenth Writers Association Meeting?”
“Yes. She was also nominated for some chairperson position. It sounds quite honorable.”
“Okay, I got it.” The man turned off his screen and sighed. She is truly becoming more outstanding and a little too good for me.
