A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 444 Monty was left speechless .

Calliope had just laid it all out , no holds barred .

By the end of it , he was left completely at a loss .

He knew deep down that everything Calliope said was spot on .

He was utterly floored .

Even though she hadnt been around the office much , she seemed to have an uncanny understanding of the companys ins and outs .

She was sharper than him , sharper even than Horatio , who had been working there for years .

They had always dismissed her , calling her a jinx , a waste of space .

Yet here she was , impressively capable and commanding .

She nailed every issue with precision , decisive and efficient .

Problems that had been festering for ages seemed simple to her , with solutions she came up with in the blink of an eye .

And then there were those things Monty always wanted to do but never dared .

But when she laid it out , it all made so much sense .

Uh , well … since youre handling things now , you should take care of these issues .

The thought of firing people made him uncomfortable .

Some were long time employees , and he didnt want to be the bad guy .

Calliope gave Monty a sidelong glance .

Afraid of ruffling feathers , are you ? Monty felt like a schoolboy caught doing something wrong , sheepishly silent .

I can propose the ideas , but you have to back me up , Calliope said coolly .

At the board meeting , you need to speak up , or Ill wash my hands of the company .

You cant do that! Monty genuinely believed that Calliope was the key to the companys future .

She had the chops to turn everything around .

If she stepped away , the company was likely doomed .

Before , he had been reluctant , hesitant to hand over the reins .

But now , thinking it through , if Calliope took charge and the company thrived , hed still benefit without lifting a finger .

Besides , she promised not to touch Horatios position or others like him .

So , really , it was a win win .

A thriving company meant everyone won .

Monty had come to his senses .

He was eager to let Calliope take the wheel , at least for now .

You understand what you need to do when the time comes , Calliope said , shooting Monty a knowing look .

Now , lets eat .

Im starving .

Sure thing , Ill treat you to lunch .

What do you feel like eating ? Monty was instantly enthusiastic .

Lets hit the cafeteria , Calliope said , getting up .

Monty uttered , The cafeteria ? Well , okay then , our cafeteria should be decent enough ! Calliope gave Monty a look but said nothing , heading out ahead .

Monty hurried to catch up with her .

They soon arrived at the bustling cafeteria , just as the lunch rush was in full swing .

As they approached , they could hear the chorus of complaints .

The food here is terrible ! Not even a slice of meat today ! They dock our pay for this slop , treating us like cattle ! Fed on grass every day ! Yeah , cattle at best ! We work ourselves to the bone and still cant get decent meal ! 08.39 Chapter 444 If they didnt take out the meal charge from our pay , Id just order takeout .

But since they do , it feels like a rip off not to eat here ! Absolutely , its outrageous .

Calliope stopped at the entrance , turning to Monty with a pointed look .

You want them to work like racehorses , but you wont even give them oats to eat .

Does that seem fair to you ? Monty was already dabbing at his forehead with a handkerchief , sweat trickling down .

He had spent the entire morning under Calliopes critical eye , and the worst part was , he had no good counter argument .
