All Chapters of The Abused Daughter is a Mafia Princess : Chapter 61 - Chapter 66

Alina's POVBy the time I returned to my office, I was exhausted.The meeting had lasted four hours, and I was beginning to regret scheduling it so early in the morning. Every department head had something to say, every proposal came with a dozen questions, and every time I thought we had reached a conclusion, someone would bring up another concern.I dropped my handbag on the couch and settled into my chair.Jenny followed me closely behind and seeing me so worked up, asked, “Alina, would you like some coffee?”I looked at her and asked, “Tell me honestly. How did you think the meeting went?”She hesitated for a moment before admitting, “I think we might have overwhelmed everyone. The goals are quite ambitious, Alina. The design team seemed worried about the timeline, and marketing wasn't sure how we would manage the media coverage. Even the sales department raised concerns about the targets.”“Hmm. I agree.” I said, my assistant was right with her observations.She bit down on her l

Alina's POV“AV?” Ty looked at me, almost as though he wasn't sure he had heard correctly, “Of course I know AV. They were our biggest competitors when we started out four years ago. Their collections were everywhere back then. But I have heard things have changed considerably. The brand has lost much of its former glory and is struggling to keep up with the competition.”I smiled faintly, “You have heard correctly.”He looked at me curiously as if he knew there was more to the story.

Alina's POVI blinked, almost laughing at the absurdity of his ultimatum, “You are not serious.”I waited for him to giggle along with me and tell me that he was just messing with me, but the old man was still in his seat, his eyes squinting with seriousness. My laughter died down and I stared at him, “Are you for real? Thirty days, Grandpa? That's impossible. Reviving a fashion brand is not a piece of cake. I can't just fix everything overnight.”“I don't care, Alina.” He clutched the head of his cane with both hands, “Then perhaps you shouldn't have taken up AV in the first place. You need to return your attention to the Voss family and give this business enough time.”I shook my head in disbelief, “I am trying to do both. You know how much work goes into running a company, especially one that's been struggling for years. I can't magically turn things around in a month.”“Then you should have thought about that before taking responsibility.”I clenched my fists, Grandpa Voss had ta
