My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Mr. Windt was embarrassed. No one had dared to humiliate him like that ever.

He glared at her angrily but didn’t say anything.

Liliana seemed to realize her mistake and added, “I am sorry if I offended anyone. I simply did not want to tiptoe around the issue and waste everyone’s time. We are all busy individuals.”

“Besides, let’s be frank here! People tiptoe if they are trying to soften the blow or don’t know how to say it.”

“In this case, I think we all know – it’s the former.”

“I don’t think my husband wants everyone to pamper him. So, let’s just get to the point.”

Mr. Windt did not have an answer for her. He looked at Mr. Cox, who was equally angry, and they shared a look.

Mr. Cox added, “Well, then! To put it bluntly – we are just not sure about President Smith’s ability to lead anymore.”

Liliana looked at him as if she was waiting for him to continue.

When he did not speak, Jeremy Winston couldn’t take it any further and asked, “One needs to have proof to support each accusation, Cox.”

Mr. Windt added, “As we discussed the last time, President Smith is always entangled with scandals and seems busy with his personal affairs. We have put our trust in him, time and again.”

“Even when he fired two dozen employees publicly, which tickled some feathers with the labor union, we did not speak and trusted him.”

“But three projects failed in such a high-profile manner. Our company has lost five billion! The analysts are saying our capital chain will soon break.”

“Perhaps the five billion is just chump change to President Smith. After all, he could afford to buy jewelry for twenty billion. We are not that privileged.”

“President Smith is married to royalty. Maybe he no longer cares about this small company and wishes to retire. But we need to think for ourselves.”

Liliana laughed.

Mr. Cox looked at her sarcastically and asked, “Mrs. Petrova-Smith, what’s so funny?”

Jonathan looked at her strangely.

She looked at her husband and teased, “Ah! Mr. Smith, I can’t decide if Mr. Windt is trying to praise your good fortune for marrying me or scold you for indulging me. Or maybe it’s both!”

Mr. Windt looked at her speechlessly.

‘That’s what she got from all that!’

Mr. Cox remarked condescendingly, “You have mistaken him, Mrs. Liliana. Perhaps the petty shares’ matters are beneath you.”

Liliana looked at them frostily and added, “How could that be, Mr. Cox? After all, I built L&L Designs from scratch. And your boss had to beg me to collaborate with him. I understand politics quite well.”

“As a matter of fact, I also understand what it means to be long-winded.”

“Having said that, I would let everyone else add their comments first. Lest anyone feel I swayed other people’s opinion.”

She looked around, but most people did not speak.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

A few showed their support instead.

“I don’t have any issues with President Smith’s management.”

“I would like this to end, so we can all leave. I don’t have any issues.”

“We can all see the share prices have dropped drastically, and it’s the lowest it has been in the last three years. However, as long-term shareholders, I am sure we all know that it’s still much higher than before President Smith took the helm of the company.”

“I don’t have any issues either! But I would love to hear more about the failed projects. I smell something fishy.”

“Yeah, the projects dropped in a very unusual way. And the way they spread, it looks suspicious to me.”

Jeremy Winston concluded for everyone!

“I think we have established that we all want to know about the projects. But otherwise, we don’t have any issues. Except for Cox and Windt.”

Liliana answered, “Thanks, NUncle!”

Jonathan was speechless.
