Stella Brown saw the ease on Sylvia’s face gradually disappear, replaced by seriousness, and knew that her ’whisper’ had hit the mark.

She quickly mentioned to Sylvia that Maggie was experienced, sent by headquarters, highly capable, and earned respect, which resonated deeply with Sylvia.

Originally, Sylvia just slightly disapproved because of seeing Molly Wellington come out of the CEO’s office in disarray the day before yesterday.

At this point, she agreed with Stella Brown’s viewpoint.

She believed that from the time Molly Wellington started her internship at the Royal Palace till now, she relied on ingratiating and flattering her superiors.

Someone like herself, with long-standing experience, diligent and hardworking, instead had to work under an intern, which didn’t sit well with her.

"Sylvia, Stella, Secretary Wellington wants us to go to the small conference room." Just then, the voice of a colleague from the PR department next door suddenly came from outside the door.

Sylvia quickly put away her displeasure, responded by packing her luggage, and said to Stella Brown, who was still lying on the bed.

"Stella, you can talk about this matter in front of me, but make sure not to mention it in front of others...it wouldn’t be good if Secretary Wellington or others heard it."

Stella Brown nodded, "I understand, Sylvia, I’m only standing up for you, I couldn’t care less about speaking to others."

She got up from the bed, patted her clothes, and said to Sylvia, "So Sylvia... Are you just going to let this go? You’re a long-time employee, even if you reluctantly cooperate with her for the sake of the cooperation case now, but you shouldn’t let her dominate like this.

Mr. Taylor shields her, and she can stir up trouble in this branch. Look, do you want to talk to headquarters...?"

"I have my own plan, remember what I said, don’t let anything slip for her to know. This matter, if I didn’t know about it, forget it, but since I already know, I can’t let her run rampant."

Sylvia’s eyes deepened with a determination as if she had made up her mind about something.

Stella Brown saw this and knew Sylvia was definitely going to take action.

Hehe... Sylvia is, after all, from headquarters, with quite a few well-connected colleagues over there.

This move she made was indeed the right one.

No matter how Mr. Taylor protects Molly Wellington in the branch, she can’t possibly expect Mr. Lucas from headquarters to shield her too, hehe...

Carrying this joyful mood, Stella Brown and Maggie soon arrived at the small conference room.

This small conference room had been allocated for the Royal Palace’s project team during this period.

The Loyalty Group’s project team used another room.

Both sides discussed separately first, drafting their cooperation plans, and then moved to the multimedia room for negotiations.

After many rounds of adjustment, pull-and-drag, revisions, and even disputes, they argued to a mutually acceptable win-win solution and finally reached a conclusion.

This process seems simple but actually requires considering the interests of one’s side in all aspects, as well as future planning.

After that, it’s even more about "negotiating" with the other party, using resources, connections, capital, and even the negotiator’s skills and momentum to gain the maximum benefit for oneself.

On the Loyalty Group’s side, from Ray McKinley to every team member, they were all the most elite personnel around Abraham Redington.

While on the Royal Palace’s side, being a branch, the employees’ experience and momentum couldn’t compare to the headquarters.

It’s safe to say that the Loyalty Group was using their main forces against the Royal Palace’s branch.

If not for Molly Wellington repeatedly relying on her innate high-level perspective and confidence, opening her aura to turn the tide,

they might have long been devoured by the Loyalty Group team with nothing left.

That night, at one o’clock in the morning, the small conference room was still brightly lit.
