Chapter 17
A few minutes later.
Douglas hung up the phone and looked at the people surrounding him.
“She must be lying, right?” Alexis asked.
Getting in touch with the vice president of Prodigy Inc. had been quite challenging for Rosalynn. As a trophy secretary kept by the president, it seemed unlikely that she would have easy access to the reclusive Wallace.
Douglas shook his head in confusion: “No… Prodigy Inc. really did accept our proposal.”
The room went quiet for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter and cheers,
ecstatic!
“But wait, didn’t you say that Rosalynn was colluding with outsiders and messing with our data? Why would she help us get the deal back?” Alexis interrupted the celebration.
“What else could it be?” Douglas’s assistant, Trevor, sneered. “I heard President Silverman wanted to have her thrown into prison, so she’s scared! Now that she’s been abandoned. by President Silverman and lost his support, she wouldn’t dare to let our deal fall through!”
“That makes sense…” Alexis nodded.
“Boss, what do we do now?” Trevor looked at Douglas, “She’s still waiting in the
conference room.”
Douglas thought he was going to lose the big deal, but now, it was back in his hands.
He couldn’t stop smiling.
“She probably wants me to apologize.” Douglas said cheerfully.
“No way! The data problem was her fault!” Trevor said seriously.
“Exactly!” Alexis chimed in.
The others agreed. The sales team was the most united and protective of their own. They couldn’t let anyone bully their boss.
The crowd followed Douglas into the conference room.
“Have you confirmed it?” Rosalynn asked, her gaze fixed on her phone screen without looking up..
Douglas nodded in response. “Secretary Tesdal, I suppose you could say you’ve made amends for your mistake.”
Rosalynn’s fingers paused momentarily on her phone, and she glanced up at Douglas.

“What mistake are you referring to?”
“Don’t even try to deny the data issue!” Trevor exclaimed, his voice filled with frustration. The others joined in, echoing his sentiment.
Rosalynn couldn’t help but laugh. “You guys are really united, huh?”
“All of us in the department stand by each other!” Alexis put her hands on her hips proudly. “Fine.” Rosalynn tapped on the table, “Sit down, everyone. I made some minor
adjustments to the proposal…”
“Who gave you the right to change our proposal?” Alexis was immediately flustered when she heard this. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
This proposal was the result of half a year’s hard work by their team, especially her.
She couldn’t just let Rosalynn change it.
“Well, what would you like to do then?” Rosalynn asked, her gaze fixed on Alexis. Her tone was gentle, but her presence exuded authority.
Alexis was rendered speechless, unable to respond.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I value your unity, but we must remember that this is a company, and our actions should prioritize its best interests,” Rosalynn stated, scanning the crowd. “We have four hours left until the 3 PM deadline. Do all of you really want to spend that time confronting me?”
In response to the silence, everyone reluctantly took their seats.
Without delay, Rosalynn proceeded to open the PowerPoint and began explaining the modifications made to the proposal.
The sales team was initially unhappy, feeling that a trophy secretary like Rosalynn, rumored to be kept by President Silverman, couldn’t possibly compare to them.
Weren’t they all top talents from prestigious universities?
However, after a short while, these proud graduates straightened up and gradually became serious. When they encountered unclear points, they would even raise their hands to ask Rosalynn.
During the meeting, the sandwiches and coffee they had ordered were delivered, but they weren’t given any time to rest. They continued to work while eating.
At one o’clock, the meeting ended.
“It’s almost time, Mr. Parker, get ready to leave,” Rosalynn said as she packed up her laptop and stood up.
