Lydia had the presentation ready.
“Let’s keep this meeting straightforward. Review the data and discuss the project’s particulars. I’ve reviewed your proposal. It falls short of highlighting our company’s strengths, and the figures are in disarray.
How can we expect to clinch the project like this?”
Lydia’s words cast a hush over the meeting room. Silence engulfed everyone present.
Jorge offered a defense.
“Our team handled the proposal, but Mr. Phillips’ appointee oversaw the data. It was out of our hands.”
The team leader had barely finished when another member chimed in, “Moreover, we’re all swamped with our projects, and since the client has dismissed this one, is there even a point to this discussion?”
Murmurs of agreement followed.
“Indeed…”
In hushed voices, someone mumbled, “Dealing with our ongoing tasks is sufficient. Why bother pushing ourselves needlessly?”
Their whispers, though faint, reached Lydia, who stood at a distance yet discerned their words.
Jorge, sheepish, gave a subtle signal to the members beside him, urging restraint.
It was then that Lydia declared, “Anyone unwilling to reassess the proposal may leave now, without consequences.”
The speakers exchanged glances, and one rose to their feet.
Dalary Ward, experienced within the team, shrugged off Lydia’s ultimatum, unperturbed.

“Miss Phillips, our hands are full with other projects. We cannot afford a delay, hence, we’re unable to assist you.
Someone else should review the data. We won’t let this hinder our team’s progress.”
Her declaration prompted three others to rise.
“We’re also committed to a crucial project. Assisting Miss Phillips isn’t feasible.”
Jorge, anxious, worried Lydia might retaliate against his team.
Lydia, composed, acknowledged their stance.
“Then proceed with your tasks.”
Her tranquility led two more attendees to exit quietly, following Dalary’s lead.
Jorge’s team, originally eleven, was now diminished by half, leaving him feeling awkward.
