Abigail nodded in agreement.
Scarlett had casually mentioned it, but she didn’t expect Abigail actually to agree.
She glanced at Lawrence with eyes that filled with joy
Abigail’s personality had become much milder now; she was completely different from her previous cold and aloof demeanor.
After having lunch, she returned to Pendorf to visit Analise and Sean’s grandparents. In the evening, she had dinner and then took a plane back to the Pearsons.
Before nine o’clock at night, her biological clock went off.
The next morning, Abigail arrived at the company and asked Selena to notify a meeting.
The meeting was with the human resources department.
As soon as everyone entered the office, they noticed that Abigail was completely different from before. Her temperament had become more restrained and gentler, but at the same time… she was even more captivating.
“Miss Kidney, L. Moon needs to recruit six more managers. Do release a recruitment notice today. Of course, if you have any candidates in mind, you can ask them too. The compensation will not be lacking.” Abigail directly addressed the meeting.
“Yes!” Miss Kidney immediately responded.
“Also, after the meeting, please send me the information of the designers who have resigned in the past year,” she continued.
“Okay!” Miss Kidney nodded again.
Abigail looked at them and added, “Anyone who has been late or left early in the past month should resign.”
She was shocked. It turned out that Abigail was only mild on the surface as she had even more decisive
methods.
“I’ve mentioned before that we have a pantry in the company. Why are there still people bringing breakfast into the office?” She turned to Miss Kidney with a cold expression.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. “I’ve mentioned it several times, but they didn’t listen.”
“Organize a list for me of everyone who has had breakfast or afternoon tea in the office in the past month!” After she finished speaking, she organized another set of documents.
Everyone was filled with fear and trepidation.

“For the design department, inform Miss Kidney that if the sales of their designs don’t improve this month, they can leave.” Abigail now started to reprimand each department one by one.
Cold sweat dripped from Miss Kidney’s forehead to fier chin. She nodded and made a note.
“In the past three months, some people have complained that the food in the kitchen has become increasingly unappetizing. Do you know why?” Abigail maintained her gaze on Miss Kidney.
“We investigated and found that the prices of ingredients have been increasing… Miss Kidney lowered her gaze, feeling uneasy.
Abigail stared. “No, someone has been taking kickbacks. Just go to the supermarket and ask around. They returned with receipts, but the prices on them are exactly what they paid for.”
“I’ll find out the reason today,” said Miss Kidney, who was so worried that she retracted her head.
Abigail turned to the next page and continued, “The internal conflicts within the Star Team are so severe, Don’t you know how to stop it?’
“For the Star Team, Antonia Winters became famous four months ago for designing costumes for a historical drama. She got to know many big stars in the industry and started to act arrogantly. The problem now is that every production team in the entertainment industry that films historical dramas would invite her team. If she’s not there, they won’t be happy, and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Miss Kidney’s voice became quieter as she spoke.
Abigail looked at the information and remained silent for a moment before responding, “Promote Sandy Tewwier to the same position as her.”
“Sandy Tewwier… Sandy has only been here for six months…” Miss Kidney started to worry as Sandy was a completely new talent.
‘Who has the final say? Me or you?’ Abigail asked her in return.
‘It’s… you.” Miss Kidney did not dare to argue anymore.
Abigail closed the file and stood up, ready to leave.
After she left, the entire personnel department looked at each other with mournful faces.
“Abigail… has already become a queen upon her return.” Miss Kidney sighed as she leaned back in her chair.
With Abigail’s return, L.Moon experienced a major earthquake in less than a morning.
Those who were dismissed were dismissed, and those who were fined were fined. Everyone was filled with fear and trepidation.
Abigail was looking at the book of accounts in her office when Antonia barged in. She walked up to Abigail’s desk and glared at her angrily. “I might not have made any great contributions, but I have also put
in a lot of effort. Are you planning to bite the hand that feeds you?”

Antonia was promoted from Pendorf and became the head of a design team consisting of the four originally recruited members. Later, due to the entertainment industry’s high demand, the team was then split into two. Her team led the historical drama team, while another person handled the costumes for the contemporary dramas.
Indeed, every company needed someone to be present every day so that they knew where they stood.
“What effort?” Abigail set aside the book of accounts and calmly looked at Antonia.
“I made the costumes of a historical drama popular this year. That was all from my entire effort, and you’re now promoting a newbie who’s been here for less than a year to be on par with me?!” Antonia was discontented.
Abigail raised an eyebrow and said, “Your entire effort? The whole team, including you, consists of hundreds of people. Are you saying it was only your effort?”
Antonia realized that she had spoken too hastily and immediately corrected herself. “What I meant was I had put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gained attention.”
“Is this how you always suppress Alison’s team? It’s not that she’s incapable, but the scripts that she has received are not outstanding. Even if the costumes are good, she can’t make it big. Besides, I think you don’t need L.Moon anymore. What’s wrong with finding someone to replace you in advance?” Abigail didn’t want to beat around the bush with Antonia anymore. Since you don’t know what modesty is and the importance of connections in the entertainment industry, it’s only a matter of time before you cause trouble for
L.Moon.
