Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 536: To Go or Not to Go

Nora Northwood rarely shows such a strong side in front of the employees. Gradually, she realized that many people in the company liked to spread gossip, and she had to establish her authority.

"VK has been receiving negative press lately. I hope everyone can look at things rationally. Each department’s supervisor must manage their subordinates well. Gossip and rumor-mongering are banned during work hours. If you can’t handle these basic things, it might be better to give your position to someone more capable."

Every word was like a gem, falling into the ears of the hundreds there. Some realized their mistakes and broke out in a cold sweat.

Nora then roughly went over the arrangements around the Mid-Autumn Festival and let those who were unimportant leave the conference room.

Soon, more than half the seats were emptied, leaving just a dozen people.

Everyone remaining was entirely trustworthy.

Nora’s tightly held expression finally softened into a slight smile, lively and charming.

After managing VK for a year, much of her naivety had faded, and she became increasingly knowledgeable and sophisticated, able to handle business affairs with ease.

"Taking advantage of the current buzz, let’s announce the Mid-Autumn Festival event and new packaging on our official website in advance. Regarding my relationship with Jasper Sinclair, I will hold a separate media conference to clarify, so there’s no need to worry about future sales issues. The netizens will buy it, and our target audience will, too."

As soon as she finished speaking, a system-default ringtone suddenly rang out in the conference room, extremely abruptly.

Everyone moved in unison to find the source of the sound, thinking: Who forgot to silence their phone?

Megan Underwood’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. She didn’t expect to make such a basic mistake. Hastily, she pressed the volume button and said, "Sorry, we..." Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed the screen flashing with the name.

Director Sinclair.

She angled the screen towards Nora, a trace of amusement in her eyes, and asked, "Should we answer?"

Nora leaned her long neck slightly forward, saw the screen, and replied, "Answer it."

The call connected, and Megan’s finger pressed the speakerphone button.

"Director Sinclair, this is Megan Underwood." Her voice was calm, and inside, she was curious about what had happened between the young couple to make him call her.

"Is Nora at the company?"

The man on the other end clutched his phone tightly, knuckles white, never expecting he’d have to ask for help.

"She is... Probably."

Megan couldn’t discern Nora’s emotions, so she answered ambiguously.

The person at the head of the table tapped the desk intermittently, actions visible but silent.

Jasper Sinclair considered how much truth there might be in her words. He also knew Megan wouldn’t dare lie to him, so clearly called out Nora’s name.

Nora sighed helplessly, knowing full well nothing could stay hidden from Jasper Sinclair.

It was true then and still is now.

"Mr. Sinclair, can I ask why you’re calling my colleague?"

Nora’s tone had long lost the previous tenderness and affection, leaving only detachment and a deliberately distant coldness.

Yet, in Jasper Sinclair’s ears, this tone intertwined with the past.

In a huff, he reiterated, "Grandma is in the hospital and wants to see you. I can’t stop her; she insisted on calling you."

Everyone in the conference room heard clearly: Grandma Sinclair favors President Northwood even more than Director Sinclair!

Upon hearing that Grandma Sinclair was in the hospital, Nora felt a tinge of urgency.
