Elisa shifted her gaze to Rochelle and smiled, her eyes a half-moon shape. "You should have told me
you weren't feeling well. Is there anyone who can take your place in presenting the report?"
Rochelle's deliberate attempt to step over Elisa was met with a quick-witted dismissal from Elisa.
Before she could say anything in her defense, Elisa had already found someone else to present.
It seemed that if someone wasn't going to rise to the occasion, Elisa didn't need them around.
Rochelle had chosen to side with Paul, but that didn't mean everyone on the events team was siding
with him.

files and her notebook.
She nodded her head, politely greeting everyone in the room.
She then walked over to Elisa and placed the notebook before her. "Ms. Benett, if you would allow me,
I would like to present our report to the executives here today," she said. As she finished her sentence,
she winked at Elisa mischievously, her lips curving into a smile.
Elisa was stunned to see Bella here. She had not expected her to show up, especially after what had
happened the day before.
