Although the workplace had always clamored for gender equality, when it came to measuring room for improvement, everyone was still involuntarily biased t o women.
Eric was silent and did not speak.
Asher said, "But I'm more optimistic about Ava. She handles things well, and she has already reached this point even though she's only in her twenties. We can market her as a beautiful president striving for success. She might even be a living signboard for the Asian region!"
Eric's voice was cold.
