Chapter 47 She'll Embarrass Herself
Layla was on the verge of tears, saying, "I... I put it on the table, and I don't know how it disappeared." Leah glanced around the lounge and suggested, "Keep looking. Maybe it was left in a corner."
"Okay." Layla sniffled and began searching every nook and cranny in the lounge.
After a while, she still couldn't find her speech.
Layla couldn't help but cry out.
"Miss Wilson, I can't find it. I really can't. What should I do? It's all my fault! I'm so useless. I can't even keep track of your speech."
After working together for some time, Leah knew that Layla had been very hard-working and serious. She also knew that Layla wasn't a careless person. So, Leah walked over and patted her shoulder comfortingly.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Don't cry, and don't be so anxious. Think about it carefully. Did you take it somewhere and forget to bring it back?"
Layla wiped her tears and shook her head. "No, I just put it here. I don't know why it disappeared."
Leah frowned slightly and was about to say something when the voice of the host came from outside.
"Now, let's welcome to the stage our keynote speaker, Miss Leah Wilson, CEO of Lia Jewellery. Please give her a warm round of applause!"
Hearing this, Layla face paled even more.
"Miss Wilson, your speech is about to start, but I still can't find the script. What should I do?"
"What else can you do? I'll have to go on stage and wing it," Leah said. She took a deep breath and put on a smile, then walked towards the stage. Layla looked at her from behind and cried uncontrollably.
"Ms. Wilson, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
Leah, who was about to step onto the stage, paused for a moment upon hearing Layla's apology. She turned around and glanced at Layla.
"Calm down. If there's anything, we can deal with it after my speech."
With that, she turned back and confidently stepped on the stage, took the microphone, and calmly introduced herself.
In the corner, Anna and Sam stood side by side.
Anna observed Leah's feigned composure on stage and couldn't help but scoff.
"Let her put on an act for now. Once the self-introduction is over, she won't be able to keep up the act."
Sam also smirked. "Everyone in
attendance is very influential in the business world. If she can't even deliver a speech properly, she'll undoubtedly leave a terrible
impression on these big shots. That means no one will want to work with her again. Without collaborations, she'll have no income or
performance. Sooner or later, the parent company will replace her and appoint a new CEO. And that person will be me!"
Anna's eyes sparkled, and she leaned against Sam's shoulder.
"When you become the CEO, don't forget about me."
"Don't worry, you're my little treasure. How could I forget you?" Sam's chubby hand roamed around Anna's waist. "Don't be so impatient. Once I get what I want, we'll book a room and celebrate properly. For now, let's watch that bitch

"Alright." Anna snuggled against Sam, looking satisfied. After Leah completed her self-introduction, didn't say anything more. Anna.

"Without her speech, she certainly won't be able to continue. Soon, she'll lose her dignity in front of everyone."
