Chapter 392 Give Credit Where Credit Is Due

Atlas's response baffled everyone. Was he declining the offer from Tanum Corporation, or was he going against my suggestion?

Harmony was dissatisfied at first, but her expression began to brighten. She seemed to think that Atlas was rejecting me on her behalf. Then, Atlas turned to Ivanna.

"Ms. Ivanna, please provide Austier Agency with a detailed report. This whole ordeal has disrupted ATL Empire's operations for almost seven hours. I want to issue a warning to all of you. The manager will not participate in ATL Empire's endorsement services again.

Harmony exchanged a quick glance with Eloise, whose face turned white. It seemed she had some inkling of what was going on. Harmony then glanced at Atlas, trying to discern his intentions.

"Ms. Hana, starting today, ATL Empire will request Tanum Corporation to designate you as ATL Empire's

soft furnishing designer."

My expression froze. I looked at Atlas, my mind filled with confusion. Could it be that he meant....

Atlas continued, "Steven, you're now Deputy Director of ATL Empire's Project Department. You'll review design drafts, and your salary will reflect your new position. I am setting an example for all ATL Empire employees-be honest in addressing misconduct, like Steven.

"Mr. Lucas, you are relieved of your duties. Please consider your failure to uphold your principles in critical situations. How can I trust you to manage my project team?"

Lucas paled. There was no room for explanation, and he admitted that he had been indecisive in handling

this matter.

After all, he was biased toward Harmony, who was currently by Atlas's side. His sense of justice had deviated.

All of ATL Empire's executives looked at Atlas with fear this time. As he looked over his staff, his face tumed darker.

Then he looked at the photographer and said, "As of today, this photographer is hired as ATL Empire's dedicated photographer. We can discuss the terms. You can have your own assistant as well." Then he paused, looking at Harmony beside him. His tone turned even colder.

"After this term of endorsement, Miss Harmony's contract will not be renewed."

Atlas-

Just as she was about to speak, Atlas raised his hand to stop her. Even Ivanna looked a bit surprised.

"Of course, from the company's perspective, Austier Agency suffered a considerable loss this time. Everyone, including me, did not expect this outcome."

Then Atlas paused and turned to me.

"ATL Empire will now officially partner with Tanum Corporation as our interior decorator. Regarding project development publicity, Tanum Corporation will be prominently featured as ATL Empire's long-term partner."

Harmony's face turned a sickly shade, while Eloise was utterly speechless.

I

turned to Harmony.

"Do you know why I made this decision?" Atlas who was about to reach out and grab

his arm.

"I never play favorites. No one can overrule me on ATL Empire's territory and give orders. Only those I

designate have privileges here. The rest will be treated equally by me."

He looked around and said, “I spent an afternoon watching your antics to test my team and partners

problem-solving skills. So, I will administer clear punishments as a deterrent."

I now understood what Atlas said earlier. He meant there was no need to wait but to give an immediatel

answer. I couldn't help but admire Atlas's decisiveness and uncompromising nature.

He then turned to me. "Thank you, Ms. Chloe, for your strong support. The proposal for the upcoming promotional video will proceed as originally planned. You've worked hard! Let's conclude the meeting here!*

With that, he stood up and walked out.
