NovelAppChapter 204 Darcy snorted, “Our ‘Destiny’ hasn't hit the market yet, so who wins or loses is still up in the air. Don’t count your chickens before they're hatched.” Emma chuckled dismissively, making a scornful gesture, “Our ‘Eternal Love’ series will blow your game out of the water, no doubt about it.” “The one who laughs last, laughs best,” Jenny chimed in.
With the pressure building in Aurelia’s chest, she remained calm, offering a serene smile, “The substantial sales of the ‘Eternal Love’ series is worth celebrating. | hope ‘Destiny can match up to ‘Eternal Love’ and create a win-win situation for our company.” “Boss, you are right,” Darcy clapped, turning to Emma, “Do you know why you haven't been promoted to a manager despite your years in the department? Your vision is too narrow.” That hit a nerve with Emma, who pouted in anger “Soon, the position of the manager would be mine.” Emma thought.
Evelyn promised her, once Aurelia was out of the picture, she would get the promotion. By then, all those who opposed her would have to pack up and leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA cold glint flashed in Evelyn's eyes, she bared her teeth in a forced smile, “Manager Aurelia is right, we are all part of the same department, and we should get along. How about | treat everyone to sushi for lunch to celebrate our ‘Eternal Love’ series being the topseller this month?” Emma quickly showed her sycophantic side, “Thank you Ms. Evelyn. How can a great vision work if you don’t have a generous leader who cares for her subordinates?” Aurelia didn’t bother with her, she took out her phone and sent a message in the WhatsApp group: [Let's not go out and fuss, let's just have a steak feast in our company’s steakhouse. The steak in our employee canteen is no less than Michelin rated, Mr. Leopold himself has approved it.] [Agreed, I've eaten there once, it was delicious, Jesper and some guys eat there all the time.] Darcy chimed 1.in.
Everyone else joined in with thumbs up and agreements.
At lunch, they went to the steakhouse, and Aurelia ordered two sirloin steak meals and three filet mignon meals. The five of them found a round table and sat down.
Soon, the waiter brought out their orders.
The steakhouse was something that was only introduced after Leopold took office.
It was Aurelia’s first time eating here, the prices were a little extravagant for her.
The set meal was plentiful, besides steak, there were sausages, vegetable salad, pasta, along with a dessert and a cream soup.
She cut a piece of steak, tasted it, and found the flavor quite good.

“Did you see the Sales Department's report? The ‘Eternal Love’ series has surpassed ‘Whisper-.” “We know, Mr. Louis,” Aurelia replied with a faint smile.
Mr. Louis looked at her deeply, “Aurelia, a wise man submits to circumstances. You should withdraw from the competition and leave the director’s position to Evelyn. Give yourself an out before you lose and face embarrassment.” Aurelia laughed, “Our ‘Destiny* hasn't launched yet, and it might be a dark horse.” Mr. Louis scoffed as if mocking her overconfidence, “Even if it's a dark horse, the position of the director will never be yours.
Don’t you know about Evelyn's relationship with Mr. Leopold? It’s the talk of the socialite circle. Mr. Leopold is planning to break off his engagement with Ms. Elowen for Evelyn. Not only the director’s position, even the vice president's position will be within her reach.” This hit Aurelia like a sharp dagger to the heart.
She knew very well how much Leopold dotes on Evelyn, she didn’t need his reminder. But she wouldn't back down midway, because this wasn't just her battle, but the battle of her team and those who supported her. She couldn't let them down.
She replied, “Mr. Louis, it seems you don’t know our boss very well. As a towering figure in the business world, he would never let personal emotions interfere with his work. Don’t be too quick to pick sides in the boss's personal affairs. If Evelyn fails to ascend, Ms. Elowen is known to settle scores.” Mr. Louis's lips twitched slightly. He had heard that Aurelia had been getting close to Elowen recently, was she trying to use her power to fight Evelyn? “Since you're determined to go all in, | can’t stop you. I've said what | had to, take care of yourself.”
