"Mika Sumrs, marry ." Seeing her smile, the tenderness in Silas Kent’s eyes deepened. He spoke with a grave seriousness.
Mika Sumrs’s expression darkened, and she cut him off coldly. "Silas Kent, stop joking. If you keep this up, I’m going to get angry."
"Mika Sumrs, you know I’m not joking."
"Silas Kent, I’m a woman who’s been married and had a child. I’m not good enough for you. You deserve soone better."
"That’s a stale excuse, Mika Sumrs. In my eyes, there’s no one in this world more perfect for than you."
"Heh. Silas Kent, are you mocking or complinting ?"
"Mika Sumrs..."
"That’s enough. Don’t say another word," Mika Sumrs snapped when Silas Kent opened his mouth to speak again.
Silas Kent fell silent, but his eyes never left Mika Sumrs’s face.
Mika Sumrs started the car, backed out of the parking space, and drove off.
Silas Kent looked away and sighed to himself. He turned to face the window and rolled it down, a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
’I originally wanted to wait until things were settled between and Mika before returning to the country. But she’s so stubborn; she just won’t listen to .’
’Now that we’re back in the country, I can’t shake this feeling of unease. After all, I saw with my own eyes how much she loved that man back then, and just how much pain she was in.’
As Tristan Grayson walked out of the hotel, he saw a car drive past. He recognized Mika Sumrs in an instant, and when he saw the man in the passenger seat, his heart sank. He looked utterly desolate and helpless.
’It’s not Archie Lockwood... so who is it??’
’Who is he? Did she find soone new in just two years? Has she really forgotten after only two years?’
’She looks like she’s doing so well now. She must be really happy, right?’
’Maybe... maybe leaving really was the right choice...’
A desolate smile touched Tristan Grayson’s lips as he dragged his heavy limbs toward the parking lot.
「The next day.」
At 10:30 in the morning, Mika Sumrs called an ergency eting and announced massive layoffs.
Instantly, panic swept through all of Sovereign Group.
Any employee who had been with the company for over a year without producing any results was fired. Any manager who hadn’t delivered results in the past six months was demoted and forced to start over from a junior position.
As far as she was concerned, there was no special treatnt for senior employees or those with connections. Everyone had to prove their worth with results.
When the eting ended, Mika Sumrs left the conference room with Jessica Archer.
The conference room imdiately erupted.
"Ugh, who is this woman? The mont she takes office, she cos after everyone in the company."
"What background? She probably just slept her way here."
"Yeah, what’s she so arrogant for? She only got the president’s chair by climbing into our Mr. Kent’s bed."
"Hey, keep it down. She’s still close by."
"So what if she hears? If she had the nerve to do it, why can’t we talk about it?"
Listening to the chatter from the conference room, Mika Sumrs’s lips curled into a cold smile.
Seeing how unbothered Mika Sumrs looked, Jessica Archer said angrily, "President Sumrs, I’m going to go chew them out right now and dock their pay for a month."
Mika Sumrs turned with an amused smile, taking the reports from Jessica Archer’s arms. "Jessica, let them talk. Once this one-month observation period is up, anyone who can’t bring results can get the hell out!"
"Yes."
Mika Sumrs flipped through a couple of pages of the reports, a smile playing on her lips. "LK Group... they’re shooting a fight scene tomorrow, aren’t they? Make the arrangents. I want to go oversee it in person."
