Stella, still reeling from the sudden turn of events, could only hear Docie’s pleas for an explanation echoing in her mind.
The meeting room was fraught with tension, and everyone’s expression had soured, with the looming fear that they might be the next to be let go.
In the wake of Docie’s exit, Matthew proceeded with the second announcement, his voice unwavering.
“Effective immediately, Stella Anderson will assume the role of director in the design department.
However, she will continue to support the public relations department as needed.”

Why could Stella get an exceptional promotion after she just worked in the company for a short of time?
Clenching her fists, Lina trembled with anger and looked terrible.
Stella was taken aback.
She had wanted to decline the offer, but the formal setting of the meeting room discouraged any immediate objections. She decided to approach Matthew privately after the meeting.
Matthew concluded the meeting with a final proposal.
“Prosperity Group is actively expanding into the fashion industry. If you have talented designers and models to recommend, do so with enthusiasm.
Successful recommendations will be rewarded.”
With those words, Matthew rose from his seat, declared, “The meeting is adjourned,” and exited the room.
Stella immediately rose to follow him but was detained by her colleagues.
“Congratulations, Stella.”
Stella accepted the well-wishes with a warm smile.
“Stella, please put in a good word for our public relations department with Mr. Clark in the future.”
She was quickly surrounded by coworkers, each offering their congratulations.
While she navigated the sea of congratulations with grace, her heart raced with unease. She needed to speak with Matthew.
However, not everyone was genuinely pleased for her. A few resentful employees couldn’t help but voice their jealousy.
“Docie dedicated many years to this company. Who would have thought that Mr. Clark would dismiss her on your account?”
