The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 722

"They didn't give you a hard time, did they?" Molly asked softly.

"No." Despite the fact that she had been hassled, warned, and even threatened, the assistant didn't let on, knowing Molly already had enough on her plate. "So, what's next, boss?" she asked.

"Come with me to the meeting room," Molly said, picking up the files they had prepared and headed straight for the meeting room.

The assistant couldn't shake the feeling that there was something different about Molly today. She seemed more decisive, more determined.

"Oh, and Molly, you passed out at the competition today. Someone tried to poison you. You're okay, right?" the assistant asked nervously.

"I'm fine," Molly assured her.

"Thank God." the assistant sighed in relief. Then she remembered, "You were amazing at the competition today. Your designs are out of this world. Everyone was blown away. You know, our stock price shot up because of this competition. The old board members are probably scared of your growing influence and want to kick you out. I always thought a capable person like you should be the one running the company."

Molly was touched by the assistant's loyalty. Then she remembered something, "Check if the two receptionist downstairs are breaking any company rules."

"Got it, boss! No need to check. They are always trying to seduce Harry, inflating expenses, coming late, and leaving early, yet they still get perfect attendance. I've had it with them." The assistant blurted out. "Are you going to fire them?"

"Yep, and claim damages while we're at it."

The assistant was surprised at Molly's newfound resolve. "I'll handle it. They'll regret it!"

Once they arrived at the meeting room, the assistant opened the door for Molly, immediately drawing sarcastic comments from the old board members.

"So, now that you're CEO, you think you're too good to open doors?"
