Louis, we're fine.” “The situation seems pretty delicate to me. Don’t count your chickens before they've hatched,” Wendy cautioned Manager Simms said with disapproval, “If she can get Mr. Leopold to send an email, I'll eat my keyboard. That won't happen.” Ms. Wendy just smiled and didn’t say anything else.
Mr. Leopold didn’t send an email. Instead, Mr. Harry did. He noticed the whole company, stating that Manager Simms was undermining the company’s functioning by refusing to cooperate with the management, thus seriously disrupting the marketing department's plans. Effective immediately, his managerial duties were revoked.

Manager Simms was stunned.
Wendy sighed, “I told you, Simms. The situation is very delicate. Mr. Leopold's mind is inscrutable. Tread carefully.” “I refuse to accept this. I'm going to see Mr. Louis and Evelyn,” Manager Simms stormed out of the office.
In the Design Department.
Aurelia was sipping on her cup of coffee while reviewing the jewelry show’s PowerPoint presentation.
Manager Simms rushed in and went straight to Evelyn's desk.
“Ms. Evelyn, could you please speak to Mr. Leopold for me? | refused to withdraw the advertisements because it would harm Eternal Love. It's only been a couple of months since its launch and the momentum is strong. Removing the ads will hurt Eternal Love.” Evelyn was also frustrated. She wished that Destiny didn’t even have a single ad slot. But she knew that once Leopold made a decision, it was final. If she went to plead Simms’ case, she would only get a scolding.
“Manager Simms, Kevin has already sent out an email. The decision’s been made and there's nothing | can do.” Manager Simms was getting annoyed. He couldn't believe he was the scapegoat, “Aren’t you Leopold's girlfriend? Your words should carry more weight than Aurelia’s, a complete outsider.” His voice was loud enough that everyone in the Design Department heard him. They exchanged looks, their expressions full of intrigue.

Aurelia cut in, “Manager Simms, don’t get the wrong idea. | didn’t go to the CEO's office today. This is a decision made within your department, and it has nothing to do with me. How can | interfere in your department's personnel decisions? You're the one who said that rank has its privileges. Mr. Harry is your direct superior. If you don’t listen to him, he can only report you to the higher-ups.” Her words were like a bone stuck in Simms’ throat, making him speechless.
He had assumed that since Mr. Harry and Mr. Louis were at odds, and Mr. Louis was close to the future CEO’s wife, Mr. Harry would be fired sooner or later. He never expected to become the scapegoat before that happened.
“Fine, I admit | misjudged the situation and picked the wrong side. I'll take my lumps,” he grumbled and stormed off.
Evelyn felt embarrassed. She adjusted her hair and muttered to herself, “He should have gone to Mr. Louis about the marketing department's issues. No matter how influential | am, | can’t meddle in other departments.” Aurelia chuckled, “Mr. Leopold always separates business from personal matters. Because the marketing department's issues affected Destiny's sales, the company and all major shareholders suffered. The boss wants a win-win situation, not infighting.
After all, the jewelry industry is fiercely competitive. Our real enemies are outside, not within.” Evelyn gave her a sly look. Was this the smooth talk she used to persuade Leopold? But she was telling the truth about not visiting the CEOs office today.
