Cordelia’s life improved significantly without Michael and Jesse in the office.

Meanwhile, Karine’s status plummeted without Michael’s good words with the board of directors. The colleagues who disliked her added fuel to the fire, venting the anger that they had been holding back.

In a recent meeting, the board of directors announced that they had revoked Karine’s supervisor’s position and got Cordelia to replace her.

She moved into Karine’s old office. She was emotional. She was spacing out while sitting in there without noticing Annie, who had been knocking. She only snapped back to her senses when the latter walked in directly and stood in front of her.

“What are you doing? It’s like you’ve lost your soul!” Annie placed a document in front of her and chuckled. “Please sign, boss!”

Cordelia smiled and skimmed through it quickly. She then signed her name.

“The workload is rather heavy.” Cordelia chuckled. “I didn’t know this before. Now that I’m in Karine’s position, I realize it’s not easy being a leader!”
