Abigail had promoted Sandy to Antonia's level. When the time came for Abigail to dismiss Antonia, it would serve as a warning to everyone else.
Antonia didn't expect Abigail to be so direct, and she was momentarily speechless.
"I've been busy lately, and so has Luna. We all forgot that L.Moon has a management team. Isn't that right, Antonia? When you were in Pendorf, you weren't like this." Abigail looked into her eyes as if trying to see through her thoughts. "No matter how many important people one interacts with, they must remember their own identity. Always remain humble and strive for improvement. That's what a designer should do… instead of constantly mingling with important people and neglecting their own talent."
In Abigail's eyes, Sandy's design ability far surpassed Antonia's.
Moreover, Sandy had better academic achievements in history and culture. She had a doctoral degree in history, while Antonia only had a few more years of work experience than her.
But Abigail didn't mind mentoring new talents.
Antonia felt indignant at being criticized. She immediately took off her work badge and walked up to Abigail to forcefully place the badge on the table. "Since you have the idea of dismissing me, why don't I resign? I don't even care about the meager compensation L.Moon offers! Just wait and see. I'll establish a new team and make L.Moon's team worthless!"
Abigail nodded. "Ambitious. I'll be waiting for your good news."
Antonia left Abigail's office in a dramatic manner.
Once Antonia resigned, more than a dozen team members of the historical drama followed suit.
…
Luna arrived at L.Moon close to noon.
She rushed into Abigail's office and anxiously said, "There's a problem within L.Moon and it's my negligence over the past six months. With so many people being dismissed at once, will L.Moon still be operating normally?!"
"What's the problem? If there are vacant positions and a heavy workload, we'll increase the salary and deal with it once we find new people," Abigail replied.
"Antonia's team is well-known in the entertainment industry. By dismissing her, she took away so many people. This team is as good as gone!" Luna continued.
Abigail smiled at her. "Do we really need this team to make money?"
Luna paused for a moment and then softly said, "Not necessarily..."
