Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter)

The door to Felix's office wasn't even fully closed. It had been left half-open, and the sounds of a video game being played came from inside.

Angela knocked twice, but Felix didn't respond. So, she simply pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mr. Rosewell, it's time for the meeting," she stated.

Felix glanced at her impatiently but didn't say a word. He continued playing his game, fully immersed in it.

Angela took out her phone, snapped a picture, and sent it to the company's group chat. Almost instantly, notifications flooded Felix's work phone.

Felix was peeved and retaliated immediately. "What the hell are you doing? Do you really think you're in charge here?"

"If you don't take me seriously, then I'll have to take myself seriously," Angela said calmly. Then, she repeated monotonously, "Mr. Rosewell, it's time for the meeting."

"Who the hell do you think you are, trying to tell me what to do? I already looked into you you're nothing more than some woman Dexter married on a whim. What's so special about you? Do you think you can boss me around?"

Felix let out a cold, dismissive snort. He didn't feel the least bit threatened by her.

Angela remained unfazed. After a brief pause, she pulled out her phone and played a recording.

That finally made Felix snap. He stood up abruptly and shouted, "What the hell do you want?"

"Go to the meeting. Or I'll send this recording to the group chat and let everyone hear what kind of person you really are," Angela said, still smiling, but her eyes were frosty.

Felix's face turned an ugly shade of purple. He shot her a furious glare, kicked the couch hard, and then shouted toward the adjacent office, "Get to the damn meeting!"

"How did you do that, Ms. Graham?" David asked as he walked in, looking completely stunned.

Angela waved her phone with a playful smile. "You just have to be more shameless than him."

Soon, the meeting room was packed. People whispered among themselves, trying to figure out what was going on. How had Felix lost to an outsider?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I called you all here today for one reason, and that is to announce a personnet decision," Angela said smoothly. She was seated at the head of the table.

"Hold on. Who the hell do you think you are?" Felix interrupted coldly, staring straight at her.

He suspected that she was about to fire him and replace him with someone else.

In his heart, he cursed and ranted, finding the situation ridiculous.

"Excuse me, but who is this woman exactly?" someone asked.

Joanne stepped forward and introduced Angela. "This is Ms. Angela Graham. She holds 80% of Emerelda Jewelries' shares. She has the authority to hire or fire anyone in this company."

The room buzzed with murmurs again, but this time, there was a noticeable shift. There was some hesitation and nervousness in the air.

Of all the people present, Felix's expression was the ugliest. He was already strategizing how to take back what was his should she fire him.

"Silence," Joanne commanded in a cold, firm voice. Just that single word was enough to make everyone fall quiet immediately.noveldrama

Then, Angela said in an even, measured tone, "Mr. Rosewell is hereby promoted to general manager. Let's congratulate him."

Promoted? Felix was completely stunned, thinking he had misheard.

He stared at Angela in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words. So she had some sense after all.

Felix quickly denied that thought and surmised that she must have realized how important he was and didn't dare to provoke him. Instead, she was trying to pacify him hoping he wouldn't make trouble for her.

Felix smirked, feeling smug. He replied languidly, "Thank you, Ms. Graham."

The others were still confused and unable to fully grasp what had just happened. But before they could react, Angela spoke again.
