Suzanna thought for a while and felt that Gwendolyn was trying to trick her. Hence, the former chose to ignore the question and raised her doubts instead.

She continued, “When did you have a meeting with Grandeur Group about the actors, Ms. Shalders? How come I didn’t receive any information about this”

“Wow, Ms. Kleppen, you must be delusional! Do I have to inform you before doing anything?”

Gwendolyn laughed as she shot a cold glance at Suzanna. “Who do you think you are?”

The latter was stunned. She did not expect Gwendolyn to confront her publicly during the meeting.

At that time, everyone had their gazes fixated on Suzanna, waiting to see how she might get humiliated.

She bit her lip and conveniently played victim by putting on a hurt expression. Then, she explained politely, “I’m sorry for making my own assumptions, Ms. Shalders. I thought that you’d discuss it with us first.”

Suzanna flinched at the arrogance in Gwendolyn’s voice. The contrast between them both seemingly illustrated a perfect picture of a superior bullying her subordinate.

Suzanna was pleased with the outcome she had portrayed.

Trying to challenge me? You’re too green for that, Gwendolyn! What an amateur and inexperienced newbie!

Treyton tapped his knuckles on the desk to express his displeasure. “A director has all the rights to make any decisions on her own. There’s no need for you to make a big fuss out of this matter.”

“Noted, Mr. Harris.”

Embarrassed, Suzanna had no choice but to return to her seat.

Gwendolyn stared at her and uttered, “Since you’re interested in this project, I shall keep you updated, Ms. Kleppen. The person in charge of Grandeur Group and I confirmed the list of actors yesterday morning.”

What?

Suzanna widened her eyes in shock.

I spoke to her about Grandeur Group yesterday afternoon teithout knowing that she’s already confirmed the deal in the morning itself. If that’s the case, why did she agree to attend the dinner last night?

Suzanna stared at Gwendolyn incredulously, her face was as pale as a sheet.

So, she did that on purpose? Was she the one who got Mr. Ward and Mr. Ulmer arrested?
