The following day, I officially stepped into my new role at the company.
My colleagues organized an impressive welcome celebration, and members of my previous team presented me with gifts. I felt touched and apologized for not informing them earlier about my plans.
They harbored no ill feelings, merely expressing curiosity about my actions.
Emily alone comprehended my intentions.
"I realized you wanted to grasp our marketing strategy. Being on the front lines, I've compiled all the data from recent years for you."
She presented me with a pile of documents, demonstrating why everyone praised her competence.
"My judgment of you was spot on," I said, inviting Emily into my office.
"Emily, it's probable that Andrew will return to create problems. He resents me, and you've taken his position. Stay alert."
Emily nodded, claiming fearlessness,
but I detected a hint of uncertainty in her demeanor.
"You're curious about how I became the boss, aren't you?"
