Chapter 403

---- Chapter 403 "She's all talk and no action. She's good at arguing though. I can't believe she went up against the CEO. Who does she think she is?" another executive spat. Giselle was silent. They were mocking her and looking at her with contempt . But no matter how arrogant she was, there was no way she could order these people around anymore. Ultimately, she returned to her office feeling defeated. When she opened the door to her office, she saw Donovan sitting in the chair at her desk. The latter was smoking a cigarette as if nothing had happened.

She slammed her notebook onto the table and barked angrily, "What are you doing here? Get out!" Despite how furious she was, Donovan remained unfazed. He calmly blew out a puff of smoke and glanced at her in an amused manner. There was even a hint of a smile on his face. When Giselle thought about how Donovan had embarrassed her earlier, she felt incredibly infuriated. She yanked the cigarette out of his hand and aggressively took a drag onit. To her dismay, she ended up choking on the smoke. "What kind of trashy brand is this?" she complained in between coughs.

"It tastes horrible." She chucked the cigarette butt into the ashtray and snapped, " Get out of here! You assigned me to this position, yet you ---- don't give me a shred of authority! What even is the point of all this?" Donovan wasn't angry at her at all. Instead, he got to his feet and tried to hug her. "Go away!" She slapped his hand away and refused to let him get close to her. However, right after she turned around, he proceeded to pull her into a tight hug from behind. "I only asked you to work here so you had something to do with your time.

You don't need to take the job so seriously . I don't want to tire you out," he said in a loving and tender voice. "Bullshit!" Giselle yelled. As she struggled to break free from his hold, she continued, " Do I look fucking crazy to you? If I wanted to kill time, I could go hiking, skiing, skydiving or racing cars. Why the hell would Icome to your company to work with a bunch of old men? "They piss me off every single day! I asked you to come to the meeting because I wanted you to back me up.

Instead, you sided with them and made me look like a fucking joke!" "TI can give you anything you want, but I have the final say when it comes to running the company," he said. Simply said, Donovan still didn't trust Giselle's capabilities . Inhis eyes, she didn't know enough about the industry to make a sound judgment. Moreover, the way she handled ---- things was relatively immature as well. No matter how much it angered her, he would never joke around when it came to company matters. After all, his own interests weren't the only things at stake here.

The fate of the company affected the entire Kane family as well as the company's respective shareholders. "Really? You'll give me anything I ask for?" she asked abruptly. "Yes," he replied without any hesitation. Still being held by him, Giselle took a few seconds to calm down before another idea flashed across her mind. She didn't tell him about it immediately. Instead, she turned around and cupped his face before she started kissing him passionately.
