"Let go!" Ryan pushed away Paula's hands in one strong movement and said, "Paula, now she is the head of Cloud Advertising Company. Even I have to obey and follow out her directions. There is absolutely no point of begging me for help. I am simply powerless in this jurisdiction."

"Too late! My hands are tied on this matter." Ryan forced a smile. As the saying went, "every dog has its day". Ryan sighed: "Paula, as you have worked with me for a long time I also don't want you to be fired this way. You better plead to Autumn for your survival here."

" But...."

"Do not hesitate any more! This will make a difference to your job. Be quick to keep up with her." Ryan heaved a long sigh.

Paula finally acceded, managed to catch up Autumn and she pleaded: "Autumn, please slow down."
