Chapter 166
Chapter 166:
“Do you want us to release it right now?” Rosita asked, frowning. “We haven’t even written the announcement yet, and all the news slots for today are already filled.”
She quickly understood that Fernanda’s sudden request was a way to assert her control over the news department.
She hesitated to comply.
Despite Fernanda’s unexpected rise to the position of general manager, Rosita couldn’t shake her doubts. Fernanda was not yet twenty. Did she know how to manage a company, let alone grasp the intricacies of the media industry? Most importantly, would the employees respect her?
Fernanda gave a faint smile, her calm gaze deep and unwavering, like a serene pond—quiet, yet carrying an undeniable authority.
Beneath that calm exterior, however, there was a sharpness that pierced right through Rosita, as though it could read her very thoughts. Unable to hold Fernanda’s gaze any longer, Rosita quickly looked away, a sudden surge of unease flooding over her.
“Rosita, don’t try to play games with me,” Fernanda continued. “The news department does release updates every morning, but since when has news ever been bound by a fixed quota? News is about what’s happening now. Who can predict what’ll unfold next? If there’s a breaking story, you wouldn’t ignore it, right?”
Fernanda didn’t soften her words, cutting straight through Rosita’s excuse.
Rosita bit her lip, a flicker of embarrassment rising within her. As the chief editor, she was accustomed to being respected, and it had been years since someone had spoken to her so bluntly.
“So, Rosita, are you going to take care of this announcement, or should I?” Fernanda asked, walking up to stand in front of Rosita, her voice composed but firm. “If you’d rather I do it, just step aside, and I’ll handle it.”
Fernanda stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow over Rosita’s desk. The move carried an undeniable sense of authority without a word being spoken.

Despite herself, Rosita had to acknowledge that this young woman, so composed in her speech, seemed to carry a maturity far beyond her years. Perhaps Fernanda’s role as general manager wasn’t so farfetched after all.
“Fine, I’ll do it,” she finally conceded.
If she let Fernanda take charge, who knew what message would be sent out?
In under two minutes, Rosita had drafted the two announcements Fernanda had requested. The first introduced Fernanda as the new general manager of Bright Lights Media, and the second apologized for the department’s earlier misleading reports about her.
Fernanda wasn’t looking to stir up a huge reaction—her goal was to establish her role within the company. She didn’t pay for additional promotion, so the announcements didn’t make much of an impact outside the company.
