The meeting room was dead silent.
Lance stared at Yvette intently, trying to see if she was doing this just to provoke him.
However, she was not.
It looked as if Yvette had made this decision long ago, and all she had left to do was announce it in this
meeting.
Lance’s face was gloomy as he looked at her in silence for a few seconds.
“You're unprepared for this, so there’s no way you can go. It’s more appropriate for someone else to
deal with this.”
Yvette expected Lance’s objection.
Her eyes were arched when she spoke.
“It’s because I’m unprepared that the people at Cali won’t be on guard. How do you think the people at
Cali would respond if it was a well- prepared director instead of me, who doesn’t know anything?”
Lance’s face was taut as he stared at her without
speaking.
Someone at the table nodded in agreement. “That makes sense.”
In an instant, Lance’s cold and stern gaze swept over to that person.
Even if everyone else agreed, they did not dare to voice their agreement.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was inexplicably tense.
Everyone realized that Lance just did not want to let Yvette go.
It also made sense from his perspective.
Lance could not leave this office, and if he allowed Yvette to go to Cali, he would have been left alone
for the majority of the year.
There was silence for a moment.
Yvette could not help but cough.
“If there are no objections, it’s decided then...” “Let’s talk about this again some other time.” Lance
suddenly stood up. His voice was strong and resounding.
He grabbed Yvette’s wrist and went out.
The rest of the people looked at each other with blank faces until the assistant finally came in and
coughed.
“Mr. Collins, please stay back for a while.”
Mr. Collins froze for a moment. He watched as everyone left one after another while he sat there. “Is
Mr. Sheldon looking for me?”
The assistant shook his head, smiled, and took out a card from his pocket.
“Is this card yours?”
“Yes.”
The assistant smiled. “According to the company’s rules, you can enter the office and lounge above the
12th floor with this card, but this card is for personal use only. You didn’t forget, right?”
Mr. Collins smiled indifferently.
“How could I forget? I just lent it to Whitney Locke. Isn’t that newbie related to Mr. Sheldon?” Mr. Collins
blinked. He probably knew about Whitney’s past with Lance.
The assistant coughed and looked at him solemnly.
“Mr. Collins, I’m here to solemnly convey Mr. Sheldon’s words. You have seriously violated the
company’s policy, so your privileges will be revoked. In future meetings, you can come up here with
others, but you’ re not allowed to utilize the areas above the 12th floor in private anymore.”
