#Chapter 129: Liam’s Fiancé

Aria’s POV Joanna stepped up to the microphone. “Thank you. As I’m sure things have been run with some measure of success around here, I want to confirm that I have no intention of disrupting that process. In fact, I only wish to increase the output of that success.” “I don’t like the sound of that,” Jackson whispered to me from beside me. “I’ve worked for several different teams in the past and bring that experience with me to this position,” Joanna continued. She then proceeded to list her former employers and the accolades she received there, which were admittedly, quite impressive and extensive. All the while, Jackson crossed his eyes and glared. “You’ll soon find that I can be a demanding boss,” Joanna said. “But with that insistence, I will help mold you into the kind of team worthy of winning the championship.” She paused then, as if for applause. After a moment, someone politely clapped, though everyone else remained still and quiet. The moment stretched, awkward.
