“You are expected to manage the company next year. If you don’t come to the team–
building event and get to know the management, you won’t know whn’s in charge of what

Cynthia was dumbfounded. “Who told you I was going to manage the company?”
“Uncle Jonathan, he has already decided to hand the company over to you,” Kendrick
replied nonchalantly.
Cynthia furrowed her brows. Had she not made it clear that she would not manage the
company?
“Aren’t you managing it quite well?”
“Who wouldn’t want a bit of freedom in life? Tell me, for how long have I been managing

building event.

Jonathan asked, “She isn’t upset, is she?”

the management of the company.” Kendrick replied slowly, sounding unsure.
“it’s fine,” Jonathan dismissed.
“She doesn’t like crowds. Apart from the people she knows, let’s not team her up with
others tomorrow, Shirley mentioned.
“Don’t worry, I understand,” Kendrick responded.
Cynthia was completely unaware of these arrangements. Exhausted, she fell asleep as
soon as she finished the call.
