Chapter 1828 Not Suitable
"Mr. Grayson, if you have any objections, please let me know once you are in my position. I will be
leaving now," Elisa concluded, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
Elisa turned on her heel and left the meeting room, not bothering to look back.
Bella was still trying to wrap her head around her new title. However, her demeanor changed as soon
as she spoke to Rochelle. "Ms. Matterson, please tidy up your office as soon as possible. I'll be moving
in three days."
She then turned and followed Elisa out of the room.
The meeting room erupted into chaos when they left. However, at that point, there was nothing Paul
could do to change the meeting outcome.
He had a plan, but he wouldn't sacrifice it for Rochelle.
As expected, Rochelle packed up her things and left in the afternoon. Bella was elated but also
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtapprehensive. Her mind was racing, and she decided to seek out Elisa in her office.
She knocked on the door and heard Elisa's voice.
"Come in."
Elisa saw Bella as soon as she lifted her eyes, but she didn't seem surprised to see her.
"I knew you would come to find me," Elisa said. "I just didn't think you would come so soon. Have a
seat."
Elisa poured a glass of coffee for Bella as she took her seat. Bella held onto the glass with both hands,
unsure how to start the conversation.
Elisa smiled knowingly when she saw Bella's discomfort. "You're not one to beat around the bush, are
you?" she teased. After a pause, she continued with a grave voice, "It'll be a challenge for you to take
up the director role if you act this way."
Bella's eyes widened in alarm, but she quickly regained her composure. "I came here to talk about
that," she said calmly. "I'm afraid I'm not capable enough for the position. I don't think I can do a better
job than Rochelle. Maybe you shouldn't have fired her."
Elisa's smile froze as Bella's words sank in. Her eyes narrowed into a cold, icy glare.
Bella felt like she had made a terrible mistake.
Elisa's gaze was chilling, reminding her of Gareth's when he was angry.
The two of them looked very similar when they were furious.
Bella fidgeted nervously, her arms wrapped around her body. "Did I say something wrong?" she asked
Elisa, her voice small and timid.
Elisa shook her head and poured herself a glass of coffee, her eyes never leaving Bella's face.
"I just think you've overestimated your value," Elisa said, her voice cold and unsympathetic.
Bella's face paled at Elisa's words, her confidence evaporating like water in the desert sun.
"I'm not sure why you think I fired Rochelle because of you," Elisa said. "Of course, you played a part in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmit, but the more important reason was that Rochelle was a threat to the company. I also don't think
you'd be able to do well as a director."
Bella's face had turned ashen, her eyes wide with fear.
Bella never expected to be met with such harsh criticism when she decided to find Elisa.
Bella couldn't understand why Elisa was treating her so differently. She was usually approachable and
friendly, but now she was cold, distant, and indifferent.
Bella felt a rift growing between her and Elisa. She had always looked up to Elisa, but now she felt she
didn't know her. She was devastated by Elisa's criticism; it was as if she was drowning in the deep
ocean. She had always admired Elisa, and now she felt like she had let her down.
A knot of dread began forming in her stomach.
Elisa took a sip of her coffee and sighed, her eyes lingering on Bella. Her tone softened as she said,
"No one is perfect at their job right away. It's normal to feel like you're not cut out for this position.
That's why I gave you three months of probation."
Bella's unfocused gaze sharpened, and her face slowly brightened.
Her raw emotions were displayed as plain as day.
