Rosalie's words left no room for argument.

In the end, Sam left the office with his head hanging low, dejectedly packing up his belongings from his desk.

Rosalie was an extremely strict leader, and most people were quite intimidated by her.
Despite her young age, she was highly professional. Under her leadership, the efficiency of the risk management department improved significantly. When she was promoted to department head a year ago, many had been unconvinced and even tried to undermine her.
However, Rosalie's expertise and decisive attitude soon silenced all doubts.
She wasn't just demanding of her subordinates—she held herself to an even higher standard. She worked tirelessly, earning a reputation that made even the Melrinians wary of challenging a woman like her.
Rosalie had been so busy all morning that she didn't even have tto take a sip of water. Just as she was about to pour herself a cup of coffee, the phone on her desk rang.
She put down the empty cup and answered, "Hello. Alright, I understand. I'll be there right away." Hanging up, Rosalie didn't even have tto drink water before heading straight to the CEO's office.
The CEO, a middle-aged man, was known for his gentlemanly demeanor. However, those familiar with him knew he was extremely strict.

"Mr. Brown, how can I assist you?" Rosalie asked.
Leaning back in his chair, Carlos Brown said calmly, "You fired Sam?" Rosalie remained unfazed. "You're well-informed. Then, you should also know how serious his mistakes were. I had no choice. Otherwise, he would have caused an even bigger disaster sooner or later." "That's true. One should be punished if one makes mistakes. But I'm actually more concerned about you than him." Carlos took a sip of coffee and said lightly, "Miss Young, I admire you greatly. You are incredibly intelligent and hardworking-perhaps it's one of the strengths of your culture." "Mr. Brown, did you callhere just to compliment me? Or is there something else?" Rosalie was a straightforward person. She had no patience for unnecessary formalities. Carlos chuckled.
"Our branch office manager in Ashwick City, Blencalgo, has returned to Melrine due to family reasons. We need to assignsomeone new to the position. You happen to be from Blencalgo specifically from Ashwick City. If you were given the opportunity to go back, would you be willing?" "Does it have to be me?" Rosalie countered.
"། et Carlos replied, "I trust you, which is why I want you to take on this role. That branch is one of our most important offices. Of course, if you don't want to go, I won't force you. But you've been in Melrine for years-you must miss home, don't you?" Rosalie's gaze dropped slightly, and she couldn't help but think of Theodore and Jake.
She missed them dearly, but she didn't dare go near them. She was afraid that her presence would bring them misfortune.
Sensing her hesitation, Carlos said, "No rush. Take your tto think it over." Rosalie picked up the coffee in front of her and downed it in one go. Setting the empty cup on the desk, she stood up and said, "Alright, I'll consider it." Carlos nodded. "Givean answer as soon as possible." "I will," Rosalie replied.
