Chapter 310:
Puzzled, she asked, “Who is coming p>
“It’s Kaleb Haynes from the Haynes Group!” Farley replied.
Kaleb, the executive director at Haynes Group, was around Farley’s age and a founding member alongside Gabriela’s mother, Alanna. Though he was close to Alanna, he was the only one Marie hadn’t forced out of the company.
Gabriela quickly asked Ken to prepare dinner and applied light makeup to look more polished.
Soon, Kaleb arrived, dressed in a sharp charcoal gray suit. Despite being around the same age as Farley, he appeared much younger. He radiated a commanding presence, forged by years of wielding significant power.
“Uncle Kaleb,” Gabriela greeted respectfully.
Kaleb studied her, then said, “I’ve followed your situation with Marie closely. You’ve handled it admirably p>
As a distant relative of Nanna’s, Kaleb had been lifted from hardship by her and given a key role in the company—a kindness he never forgot. He spoke firmly. “Gabriela, with Marie’s downfall, Haynes Group needs a new leader. If you want to take it over, I’ll back you fully p>
Gabriela was taken aback by his offer. She had been plotting to reclaim the company, not expecting the chance to come so swiftly.
“Aren’t you concerned I might not be up to it and let you down?” she asked.
“You are Alanna’s daughter, and you just clinched a billion-dollar deal with Alphacom Electronics. I trust your ability,” Kaleb replied with conviction. “Don’t worry. I’m here to support you every step of the way p>

Moved, Gabriela nodded. “Thank you. I’ll think it over carefully p>
Before, she had been preoccupied with ways to steer clear of Wesley and Brenden. Now, returning to the Haynes Group seemed the best path.
Decisive by nature, Gabriela acted quickly once her mind was set. The next day at work, she finalized the commission split for the billion-dollar deal with Nina and then announced her decision to resign.
Nina was shocked. “What made you decide to resign all of a sudden? Does Mr. Moss know p>
“Not yet. I’ll tell him soon,” Gabriela replied.
Nina frowned. “Our department is already stretched thin, and we just took on a big project. Your leaving now will throw things into chaos p>
Gabriela offered, “Miss Gibson, if you’re open to it, I would like to recommend someone p>
“Who p>
“Cali p>
That morning, Jaylene had dispatched Cali to fetch coffee, claiming the company’s coffee was stale and demanding a change. She specifically rejected the coffee from the downstairs café, insisting on a blend from the Golden Honey Café, which was miles away.
Cali protested, “Jaylene, it’s work hours. I’ve got my own tasks piling up. If you want it, go get it yourself p>
“You dare refuse me?” Jaylene’s expression soured, her voice sharp. “You landed a contract yesterday, right? One call from me, and I can ensure it falls apart p>
Cali’s face tightened with anger. “Don’t cross the line, Jaylene. If you sabotage my deal, I’ll report you to the executive office p>
Jaylene smirked, unimpressed. “Come on, you’re not Gabriela, and no one would care about your complaints. Go ahead — make a scene. See who cares p>
Cali’s cheeks flushed with fury. “You p>
Jaylene toyed with her polished nails, laughing coldly. “Look around the department. Anyone here backing you up p>
Nearby colleagues, overhearing the spat, quickly ducked their heads, feigning focus on their work as if deaf to the exchange.
Jaylene scoffed. Bryn, though he had grumbled about Jaylene pushing Gabriela out, knew she was a top saleswoman — a golden goose he would have to tolerate until she was let go.
With Brenden’s return as general manager, Bryn’s hopes for promotion were dashed, leaving him bitter and short-tempered.
“Cali, just go,” he snapped. “Grabbing a coffee for a teammate isn’t a big deal, and it’s not like you’re drowning in work.
