The whole company was in an uproar by the time Willow arrived with Peter. Because of the rumour that went around, everyone was waiting to meet the new Chairwoman. The entire fourteen building was filled with the workers. The managers and directors of the various departments all lined up at the entrance waiting to welcome the new Chairwoman.
While they were not fully convince that a high school dropout like Willow could manage such a big company, others were simply waiting and counting with their fingers how long it would take for the the company to collapse under her manager.
Of course, some of them were being influenced by Mr. Hanson, Peter's father. Prior to that faithful day, he had already managed to convince some of the managers and directors and painted a bad image of Willow to them hence some of them were ready to ridicule her and even looked down on her.
