With a slight smile, she said, "Don't worry, while the Vice President isn't around, I can ask Assistant Hills for help."

Those around Lambert were always useful, she did not want to waste talent.

"Understood!" Conan responded with a smile.

He glanced at Ariana's schedule, reporting, "There's a meeting scheduled at half-past nine, but the Vice President is absent... it requires you to host, your thoughts..."

Upon hearing this, Ariana paused to contemplate for a while, and replied, "Proceed as planned."

If she were to cancel the meeting because Lambert wasn't there, it would only make others look down upon her.

However, it was her first time hosting a meeting, she feared it wouldn't be easy to handle those people.

"Understood." Conan nodded, turned, and walked out.

Ariana rubbed her temples and sifted through some information about the pending meeting from her computer. The main focus was on the Pearl Property and a few partners. This project belonged to the Stone Group.

After reviewing the main materials, the time was almost up. Ariana walked to the conference room in high heels, and Conan followed her at the right moment, briefly discussing the key points for the meeting.

Almost all meeting members were present when Ariana entered the meeting room, but Beverly's seat was still unoccupied.

However, Ariana didn’t even blink an eyelid, directly taking her seat at the head of the table. Conan placed the meeting's folder in front of Ariana.

"Alright, the meeting will begin now," Ariana stated as she opened the folder, calmly saying, "Supervisor Parker, please share about the main issues of the Pearl Property."

"Yes," Supervisor Parker complied and then began to detail the problems encountered during the construction of the Pearl Property. As he approached the main points, the meeting room door was abruptly pushed open.

Suddenly, all eyes moved towards the entrance.

Beverly smiled sweetly, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

As she said this, Beverly walked towards her seat without guilt or embarrassment for being late.

Ariana coldly said: "Miss Lawrence, is the company owned by your family? So many people are waiting for you, and all you can say is 'I'm sorry'? Do you even take your work seriously?"

The surrounding atmosphere instantly cooled. Supervisor Parker pursed his lips, uncertain whether to continue speaking or not.

Beverly didn't expect Ariana to make things difficult for her in front of so many people. She pulled up the corners of her mouth and retorted: "I didn't see anyone waiting for me. The meeting is going on as usual, isn't it?"

"And the time being wasted... it isn't time?" Ariana's gaze was cold, staring firmly at Beverly.

Beverly felt guilty under Ariana's stare, but still mustered up some courage and said, "The time being wasted is simply because you won't let go of this issue. If you pretended not to notice, it wouldn't have wasted everyone's time."

Ariana stood up, raised an eyebrow, and said coldly, "If everyone behaved like you, should we even bother having meetings?"
