Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Can I Come To You?

Edmond seemed really angry.

When Alicia went downstairs with Edmond to go to work, Edmond got into his car without looking back and didn't say goodbye to Alicia.

When Alicia came back to her senses, she froze in surprise.

It was so weird. Edmond had never said goodbye to her before. What the hell was she thinking?

Before Alicia could continue to be troubled, the company called her.

"Ms. Casey, there will be a temporary meeting later. Those directors want to see you."

Her heart sank.

Alicia had probably guessed why the directors wanted to hold a meeting.

Then Alicia hurried to the office. The moment one of the directors saw Alicia, he condemned her.

"You promised last time that you would take the project with the AQ Group. And we all believed you and didn't interfere with your rights. But is this your answer? It is such a great project! I can't believe you let our arch-rival company get this project! Alicia, you're quite a piece of work."

Alicia was mentally prepared.

"I have another solution for this."

However, the board members didn't want to hear what she had to say and began to condemn her.

"Peter recommended you as acting CEO, and he has repeatedly emphasized that you are his most trusted and reliable candidate. You get this position through your connection. That has already upset us. Now, you're still messing up the company like this. And the company is facing huge losses. Could you handle it?"

These directors had long been dissatisfied with Alicia, so they took this opportunity to give Alicia a hard time.

It was not the first time Alicia had faced harsh criticism and bashing from the directors.

In the past, Alicia handled these people with ease. However, after dealing with them, she returned to the office and felt depressed.

She usually chose to call Grace and asked her out for a drink to drown her sorrows.

Since Grace was pregnant, she couldn't drink alcohol and easily got emotional. Therefore, Alicia didn't want Grace to be affected by her bad mood.

After thinking about it for a long time, Alicia decided to call Edmond.

Edmond had a terrible look on his face right after he finished reading Melissa's CT report.
