After Divorce I Am A Billionaire

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 You're Bullshitting

As Stacy thought about it, she felt that Lyra was laying traps for her, so she chose to ignore her questions.

Stacy continued her questioning, "When did Miss Carroll make a deal with Grandviz? How come I haven't heard anything about this?"

"Miss Kim, you're funny. You mean I have to inform you first when I do something?"

Lyra sneered and stared at Stacy with penetrating gaze, "Who do you think you are?"

Stacy was stunned, not expecting Lyra to retort her in front of the whole company.

At the moment, all eyes were fixed her, waiting for her to make a fool of herself.

She bit her lips, with an injured look on her face. She softened her tone and said respectfully, "I'm sorry. I was full of myself. I thought you, the director, would've discussed it with your subordinates."

The weak and cowering Stacy, against the proud and aggressive Lyra.

She acted like Lyra was using her privilege as the director to bully her.

Stacy was complacent about herself.

Wanna fight with her?

This unruly newcomer was not experienced enough!

Keith tapped his knuckles on the conference table, his face a bit displeased, "The director certainly has the right to make her own decisions. There is no need to make a fuss."

"Yes, Mr. Lloyd."

Stacy's face was embarrassed and she could only sit back resentfully.

Lyra, however, stared at her and continued, "But since Miss Kim is asking, I'll tell you. Yesterday morning, the head of Grandviz and I had decided on the actors."

What?

Stacy was flabbergasted.

It was not until yesterday afternoon that she told Lyra about Grandviz's new project, but it turned out that Lyra had already settle the deal that morning...

Then why did she still agree to the dinner last night?

Stacy stared at Lyra incredulously, like she had seen a ghost.

So she did it on purpose?

Could it be that both Mr. Harper and Mr. McCormick were sent to jail by her? Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Looking at Lyra's face, which was almost like too beautiful to be true, Stacy felt a sudden chill down her spine.

But after a moment, she dismissed the idea again.

How was it possible that this young unsophisticated girl would be such astute and calculating?

No way!

Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!

Under the long table, Stacy's clenched her fists so tightly that her nails were cutting her palm, before she finally calmed down.

Since Stacy did not make any further remarks, the meeting continued.

Lyra continued with her presentation.

"In terms of the overall planning, everything will remain the same for now. Each popular artists will keep working on the endorsement collaboration and variety shows they've already got."

When it was all said and done, there was no objection from the room.

Lyra continued, "Last but not least, the company have got a group of trainees whole are mostly young and inexperienced. I suggest that we can start a reality television talent competition franchise, where we can also invite other companies to participate, and in the end seven out a hundred candidates will make it to the debut as an idol group. This is also a good way to let our trainees understand the showbiz better."

"Wait, I need to say something!"

Stacy again raised her hand and stood up, "Miss Carroll, holding a reality talent competition is no small feat, and this proposal seems to be beyond your scope of work, not to mention the fact that this genre is not exactly well-received in the domestic market. If the company suffer losses due to this..."

As she was speaking, she saw Lyra frown and fan herself with her elegant hand.

"What's the smell on you?"

Stacy looked confused, "I didn't smell anything."

"No?" Lyra sneered, "Then why do you keep bullshitting? And you've tried so hard to draw attention regardless of the occasion."

Pfft...

Many employees couldn't help but snicker.

The employees sitting next to Stacy involuntarily covered their noses and silently moved away from her.

Stacy blushed in shame, realizing that Lyra was humiliating her.

Her eyes were wide open and her voice became shriller.

"Mr. Lloyd, I suggest that Miss Carroll be closely investigated."

Just as she finished speaking, with a thud, Keith in the main seat put down his coffee mug onto the table and said in a deep voice, "I agree with the proposal."

There was a commotion in the room.

The way they glanced at Lyra were different now.

Only Stacy was so happy that she almost jumped in excitement, "Really? Mr. Lloyd, you actually approve of me and will investigate Miss Carroll closely?"

Someone hissed.

Everyone knew who Keith was talking to, except Stacy, who acted like a dumbass and didn't understand his hint.

Keith was as disgusted as if he had swallowed hundreds of flies. He said with a sulky face, "If you say one more word, get out immediately and you don't have to come back tomorrow."

Stacy blanched at his words. It was like she had gotten on the emotional roller-coaster.

It wasn't until someone next to her reminded her that she reluctantly sat back down on her seat.

The conference keep going with the discussion on the details of Lyra's proposal.

Stacy listened quietly, the pain of being humiliated made her want to dig a hole and hide in it right away.

Jealousy for Lyra entangled her heart like a viper, making her suffocated.

Why didn't Keith lay his eye on her?

If she was the one having an affair with Keith, she would be the one being defended and protected by Keith in the public!

Billy Lowery's face suddenly popped up in her head, that greasy face, balding, those gold teeth.

Thinking that she could only ingratiate herself with some disgusting man like Billy, Stacy felt even more resentful.

Right! Billy!

Judging from Keith's attitude towards that bitch, the sudden disappearance of Billy must have something to do with her!

She mulled over this for a while.

Once the vignette is over.

With Stacy out of the way, the latter half of the conference went smoothly.

Keith announced that the meeting was adjourned and left with Jalen first.

The others followed one after another and left the conference room.

Lyra packed up her things and was ready to go when her file bag on the table was suddenly pressed by a woman's hand with red painted nails.

Stacy smiled and said, "I still have a few things to ask you, Miss Carroll. Please stay."

Lyra didn't say anything, nor did she reject Stacy.

Until the conference room was almost empty.

Stacy asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, why was Billy Lowery not in the meeting today? Where did he go? Did you do anything?"

"Ah, Billy, he'll never be able to come back." Lyra raised her brows carelessly.

"What?!"

Stacy's eyes widened in disbelief, her hands clutching Lyra's arms and shaking them, "He was fired from the board? You did this? Why would you do that?"

She was discussing with Billy last night how to deal with this bitch, and suddenly without warning, Billy was fired?

She couldn't believe it!

Lyra furrowed her eyebrows, patted away the woman's hands in disgust, "He is suspected of misappropriation of funds, and he also had immoral relationship with some of the company's female employees. Thus, he was fired and also sent to the police. He'll probably be imprisoned for a dozen of years."

As she spoke, she took a wet wipe to clean her wrist, which had just been touched by Stacy, and she then wiped the file folder.

Smiling, she continued, "This is confidential. No one but me dares to tell you, for the sake of have working with you for a few days. I'm being a good friend, right?"

Stacy stepped back in disbelief and horror, "So last night you... you really knew everything? You got into my trap on purpose?"

Lyra didn't answer and walked straight to the main seat of the room.

When she sat down, her long, well-proportioned legs were folded, and her luscious figure was visible.

Even though Lyra was shorter than Stacy now because of her sitting in the chair, but she was still intimidating as hell which completely outdid the other.

She curled up her lips and said, "Stacy, if you miss Billy so much, then, go keep him company."
