Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 658 Moving Forward and Retreating Together

Abigail had promoted Sandy to Antonia's level. When the time came for Abigail to dismiss Antonia, it would serve as a warning to everyone else.

Antonia didn't expect Abigail to be so direct, and she was momentarily speechless.

"I've been busy lately, and so has Luna. We all forgot that L.Moon has a management team. Isn't that right, Antonia? When you were in Pendorf, you weren't like this." Abigail looked into her eyes as if trying to see through her thoughts. "No matter how many important people one interacts with, they must remember their own identity. Always remain humble and strive for improvement. That's what a designer should do… instead of constantly mingling with important people and neglecting their own talent."

In Abigail's eyes, Sandy's design ability far surpassed Antonia's.

Moreover, Sandy had better academic achievements in history and culture. She had a doctoral degree in history, while Antonia only had a few more years of work experience than her.

But Abigail didn't mind mentoring new talents.

Antonia felt indignant at being criticized. She immediately took off her work badge and walked up to Abigail to forcefully place the badge on the table. "Since you have the idea of dismissing me, why don't I resign? I don't even care about the meager compensation L.Moon offers! Just wait and see. I'll establish a new team and make L.Moon's team worthless!"

Abigail nodded. "Ambitious. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Antonia left Abigail's office in a dramatic manner.

Once Antonia resigned, more than a dozen team members of the historical drama followed suit.

…

Luna arrived at L.Moon close to noon.

She rushed into Abigail's office and anxiously said, "There's a problem within L.Moon and it's my negligence over the past six months. With so many people being dismissed at once, will L.Moon still be operating normally?!"

"What's the problem? If there are vacant positions and a heavy workload, we'll increase the salary and deal with it once we find new people," Abigail replied.

"Antonia's team is well-known in the entertainment industry. By dismissing her, she took away so many people. This team is as good as gone!" Luna continued.

Abigail smiled at her. "Do we really need this team to make money?"

Luna paused for a moment and then softly said, "Not necessarily..."

"That's not a problem, right? If the major production teams in the entertainment industry don't hire us, there will always be smaller ones that will. The newcomers are pretty good; they can handle the pressure. It's like a whole new team," Abigail said calmly. "This past half year has also given us a chance to see how many issues there are in the company that need our attention."

Abigail missed the days when Analise was in the kitchen.

Back then, she would do everything she could to give them extra money and cook delicious meals, and the food expenses weren't expensive either.

In the six months that she had been away, the food expenses had doubled, and the budget for afternoon tea had also increased.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's all my fault... There's just too much going on with L.Moon that it's completely different from before. I have to handle everything, and sometimes I get so busy that I'm confused..." Luna Smith sighed bitterly. "Maybe I'm just not suited for a big company. When L.Moon was just a studio, things were much simpler, and I handled them well."

"If you want to know how to handle things well, I can teach you slowly. I left in such a hurry and left you with a mess. I'm sorry," Abigail apologized with a guilty expression.

Luna was taken aback for a moment. Then, she smiled. "Well... if you're apologizing to me at a time like this, I can't bring myself to blame myself anymore."

"If we start arguing, L.Moon will really be finished," Abigail said, taking out her phone. "I'm going to order coffee. What would you like?"

"We have coffee during afternoon tea," Luna reminded her. "No need to order for me, as I'll go get some fruit."

"It's different; there's a coffee shop that's really good," Abigail looked at her phone, her voice soft. That coffee shop was recommended by Sean, and he always bought her coffee from there.

Luna nodded absentmindedly, not noticing the change in Abigail.

With a fruit platter in hand, Luna returned to the office and sat on the couch, eating the fruit. "You shouldn't be away for so long next time. When you came back, I felt more at ease. I didn't have any anxiety when I was with Josh yesterday."

"Did you used to always think about unfinished work at the company when you were with him?" Abigail couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yeah, I would think about all the documents and the finance department at the company, and it would annoy me." Luna took a bite of the apple and sincerely said, "It's really good to have you

back."

"I've already started recruiting for six managers," Abigail said as she looked at the documents.

Luna's eyes widened as she looked at Abigail. "Six... Do we really need that many?"

"Out of the six competitive individuals, only the strongest in ability can occupy a managerial position," Abigail pondered. She realized that one was prone to slacking off and two were difficult to maintain the equilibrium, but three people would be suitable. However, the question remained whether the abilities of these three individuals would meet the standards.

Hence, she decided to choose six individuals and divide them into groups of three. In the end, two individuals would emerge victorious—one as the general manager and the other as the assistant general manager.
