“But I don’t even understand marketing. No, I won’t go there!”
“You may work in the design department if that’s what you want. You will start out as an assistant, and I’ll have someone mentor you.”
Hannah was already reaching for her phone when she heard Johanna scoff. The latter’s face was filled with disbelief.
“I may not be qualified as a director, but I am still a designer! I know you don’t like me, and my position in the family is currently at risk, but don’t think that I won’t expose you to Grandpa. I’m going to tell him that you’re purposely sabotaging my career!”
Hannah breathed out a helpless sigh.
“Fine, go ahead and call Grandpa.
As long as he gives you the go ahead, I’ll sign the papers to appoint you as the design director. I’ll even make you the general manager if he says yes.” She waited for a beat, but Johanna made no move whatsoever.
“What are you waiting for? Do you need me to call him for you?”
Johanna ignored the provocation and narrowed her eyes.
“When you first joined the company, you didn’t have any credentials, either.
Why are you pestering me with them now? What’s more, Grandpa defied the natural order and appointed you as chairwoman. He even gave you so many shares! Why is that?”
Hannah rubbed her temples, feeling like she was talking to a brick wall.
“Even Edwin started out as a trainee when he joined the company. Do you really think you’re better than him?”
Johanna clamped her mouth shut and shifted awkwardly on her feet.
Just then, a knock came at the door.
Hannah’s secretary peeked inside and said, “I’m sorry to interrupt you, Miss Moore, but Mr. Mitchell is downstairs. He wants to see you.”
Now, this was a surprise. Hannah wasn’t expecting to see Bryson today.
“Send him up.”

“Yes, Miss.”
The secretary took her leave, but Johanna remained staring at the door with a pensive look on her face.
“The choice is yours.” Hannah spoke again, breaking the other woman’s trance.
“You can call Grandpa right now and make your demands, or you can choose between the marketing and design departments.”
Johanna bit her lip and hesitated.
When another moment passed in silence, Hannah glanced pointedly at the clock.
