Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

their female companions were beautiful enough to boost their image. But Carlos wasn't one of them. It was more

vital for him that Mikayla recuperated as their wedding day was fast approaching. 'l'll go crazy if | have to

postpone our wedding date yet again!" he grouched inwardly.

Suddenly, Mikayla recalled the company's recent heated discussions revolving around Carlos. 'l didn't realize

older men were becoming the fad again, she mused inwardly before mocking loudly, "Says the person who had

becthe center of attention among the female employees in our company! Did any young girls throw

themselves at you?"

Carlos chuckled when he heard Mikayla. "Actually, there was one!" Carlos teased, pretending to recall someone,

but seeing Mikayla's furious expression made him uneasy. So, he conceded, "Don't worry, alright? My heart is full

of you that there is no space for anyone else!" After saying that, Carlos looked at Mikayla meaningfully, making

Mikayla feel awkward.

‘Carlos, you made my heart turn toward you, and since then, my life has deviated from its original trajectory! |

don't know if it's because | fall in love too easily or if your grand gestures wonover... All | know is | never

thought I would fall in love with someone so soon after leaving Jaxon. | originally responded to you because | got

triggered by Jaxon's cheating! When | met you, | had this whole plan worked out, but life is unpredictable! Plus, |

like what we have right now," Mikayla mused.

Not long after that, Carlos kissed Mikayla on the cheek and left carrying the lunch boxes he brought.

After sending off Carlos with her gaze, Mikayla immersed herself in her hectic work and prepared the material

she would need for their department's first formal meeting that afternoon. On the company's twelfth floor, there

were smaller conference rooms especially for departments to have their meetings in. At 2:30 pm, all of the

department members gathered there.

"Today's meeting is to summarize the problems we have encountered in recent days, and then discuss

countermeasures together to draft a more flawless work plan," Mikayla announced, sitting at the front and

glancing at every member of the department. Mikayla didn't have her usual cheerful, friendly expression, but

gave off a strong and domineering air. This made others, including her assistant Maxius, becmore solemn as

well.

Quinnlyn, Mikayla's secretary, passed the information to everyone before sitting beside Mikayla and recording

the minutes.

‘Before that, | wanted to highlight a recurring issue that has popped up recently," stated Mikayla gravely. She

was strict about this issue because although she knew it was a common occupational hazard, it would still

impact work efficiency if not corrected in time. She continued, “Among similarly qualified people and positions,

our department pays the highest. | have been generous in requesting extra privileges and compensation for

everyone, but your recent working attitude has disappointed me! You were all hand-picked by me, which means |

know your capabilities well. The slack you have shown in your current work will directly affect our future projects.

Except for Maxius and Quinnlyn, cand seeprivately if you have no idea what your problem is. | hope this

is the first and last t| need to talk to everyone about this. Let's not waste any more ton this." Mikayla's

voice was gentle, and her face was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. Her aura was domineering

enough to hold everyone's attention at that moment. "That's all! | hope that in the coming days, we can all move

forward together! We should speed up the progress

of our work otherwise we won't be able to hit our performance target in three months. Let's stop wasting time.

Next, let's look at the problems we have encountered before and resolve sfirst," Mikayla said.

In the meeting room, Mikayla opened a file and worked with them to resolve the issues. Because it was a new

product, there were many vulnerabilities and unstable factors. For example, the problems that would occur when

laptops were used for a certain period were what they needed to resolve now. And when they launched this

product in the future, they needed to ensure it had clear advantages compared to other laptops from the

previous generation...

A heated discussion took place in the meeting room. Mikayla listened carefully and occasionally took notes. For

each problem, people put forward their ideas and considerations. After everything was resolved, Mikayla began

assigning jobs. "Next, Quinnlyn, go to the marketing department and get two more people to help Taylor."

Mikayla looked at Taylor and ordered, "You'll be leading them to generate a market analysis report based on

"Yes, Ms. Salvatore!" Taylor answered.

"Let's not slack off. Carry on with our previous work and strive to reach the expected level in our next update!

Only then can we count it as halfway to success. If we don't make it, I'll be deducting your bonuses! Of course, if

you guys hit the target, I'll treat you guys to a meal in addition to the promised bonus," Mikayla declared. This

was how Mikayla worked-doling out rewards and punishments accordingly.
