Susan turned red when she recognized that Lucinda had insulted her.
She opened her eyes widely and said in a sharp voice, “I think Miss Ross’s proposal is quite self-centered. Otherwise, why would she be afraid of being questioned? She has only been with the company for some days and yet she’s proposing something that will cost us a lot.
It’s very fishy. Mr. Simmons, I advise we conduct a _ thorough investigation on Miss Ross!”
Suddenly, Cyrus slammed his coffee cup onto the table, causing a loud bang, and spoke up in a deep voice.
“I agree with the proposal.”
The audience erupted into chaos.
Their looks turned shocked as they glanced over at Lucinda.
Only Susan seemed pleased.
“Really? Mr. Simmons, you agree with me?
‘s
Are you really going to investigate Miss Ross?”
Someone hissed quietly.
They all understood what Cyrus meant, except for Susan who seemed oblivious.
Cyrus looked extremely irritated and snapped, “If you say another word, you would leave here immediately. And don’t bother coming back tomorrow.”
Susan’s face paled in shock, and she was so stunned that she didn’t react for a while.
It wasn’t until someone nudged her that she took a seat.

The meeting then proceeded to discuss Lucinda’s proposal.
Susan listened attentively. She felt incredibly embarrassed, wanting nothing more than to disappear into the floor.
Her jealousy towards Lucinda was so much that it was choking her.
Why didn’t Cyrus like her?
If she had been the one to have an affair with Cyrus, she would be the one to enjoy his public protection and spoiling.
But then, the ugly face of Lenny Gerry suddenly popped into her mind.
He was over forty years old, bald, and fat.
Susan felt even worse at the thought of having to count on such a disgusting man.
Besides, from the way Cyrus acted towards that Lucinda, it was clear that Lenny’s disappearance must have something to do with Lucinda.
