Fortunately, he had treated Rosalind fairly well and hadn’t offended the person closest to the CEO’s heart!
He went straight to the legal department and repeated what Mr. Walters had just conveyed. The look of astonishment on everyone’s faces was no less than Cedric’s when he first heard it.
“Mr. Walters said he’s considering canceling the entire legal department of W Group’s headquarters?! Cedric, did you hear that right?”
This decision was extremely significant!
All of W Group’s subsidiaries had their own legal departments and had never hired external law firms. And now, for the sake of one Rosalind, they were going to break this tradition?!
Cedric cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, “Now you should understand Mr. Walters’ intentions, right? When working at W Group, don’t be hesitant. Just focus on doing your job well.”
“We understand! Please assure Mr. Walters.”
“Good.”
Having completed his task, Cedric turned to leave the legal department, only to see Sirena standing there unexpectedly!
He wasn’t sure how much of his conversation she had overheard…
For a moment, Cedric felt a bit awkward and forced a smile, “Lawyer Reynolds.”
“I came back to retrieve some things I didn’t take when I resigned,” Sirena said with a slight nod, not making things difficult for Cedric.
“Oh, then I’ll get back to work.”
Just as Cedric was about to walk past Sirena, she stepped aside and blocked his way.
Cedric was taken aback, “Is there something you need, Lawyer Reynolds?”
“Did he really say he would cancel W Group’s legal department?”
“… I wouldn’t dare misquote Mr. Walters.”
Sirena’s face, which had been trying to remain calm, finally showed cracks upon hearing his confirmation!
She couldn’t believe Ulric would put the entire company’s interests behind for Rosalind! This was the entire W Group; every step and every decision could affect its future development!
Compared to that, what was Rosalind worth?
She was just an assistant! At best, she was pretty. Sirena couldn’t understand what was so special about Rosalind!
“Does he know the consequences of canceling the legal department?” Sirena’s eyes fixed on Cedric. “As his personal secretary, it’s your duty to remind him! The impact on the company is enormous!”
Cedric’s lips twitched as he resumed his usual serious demeanor.
“Lawyer Reynolds, Mr. Walters certainly understands the company better than I do. He must have his reasons for making such decisions! For something as significant as this, Mr. Walters would have thought it through carefully! Moreover, Mr. Walters didn’t say he would disband the legal department immediately; it’s mainly because some people in the legal department are occupying positions without doing their jobs. Mr. Walters can’t be manipulated by them, can he?”
His words were actually hinting at Sirena.
Who didn’t know? The people in the legal department dared not act or work normally because they feared Sirena might come back and target them!
Her subordinates all believed that given Sirena’s relationship with the Walters family, her resignation was just a joke. So who dared to truly replace her as chief lawyer?
Sirena had anticipated this, which is why she deliberately resigned and posted something on social media that subtly criticized Rosalind while positioning herself as a victim, hoping to use public opinion and company pressure to influence Ulric.
Even Cedric could see through this tactic; there was no way Ulric couldn’t.
“Cedric, even if you’ve been by Ulric’s side for many years, don’t forget you’re just a secretary,” Sirena said coldly. “Eventually, there will be a lady boss in the Walters family, understand?”
Of course he understood! How could he not?
Cedric gave a perfectly standard smile, “Yes, Mr. Walters specifically asked me to mentor Miss Ruell more closely.”
