A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 3

Sage, who was surrounded by the group of seniors from upper management, turned to look at the vice CEO and asked, “There are a few who aren’t here right now, right?”

“Yes.”

Finn Janssen, the vice CEO, approached her. He was polite in his reply, but the tone of his voice betrayed a subtle casualness. “The old guard led by Braxton Norah planned to intimidate you by not showing up to greet you today.”

“Oh really?”

Sage looked unfazed. She exuded a cold and indifferent vibe. She then said, “Times have changed, and why is it that my dear uncles are still so clueless?”

Braxton and five other directors of the board of managers were in the waiting room. They were all seated with one leg slung across the other while they sipped on cups of hot tea. At first glance, all of them looked calm and resolute, but in truth, they were all secretly panicking.

“Where is the new CEO?” asked Braxton who was seated in the seat reserved for the chairman of the board. There was a look of anxiousness on his big, chubby face. “Go and have a look,” he told his secretary.

“Braxton, there’s no need to be worried. The CEO is bound to end up here. In any case, we are the board of directors. It is only right that we intimidate the new CEO a little so he or she would get a grip of themselves.”

Dressed from head to toe in black, Zane Norah had his hands clasped together like he was about to attend a funeral.

Braxton shook his head and continued, “Kids these days have no idea of the importance of being punctual. All of you should not hold your tongues, just say what you want to. At the end of the day, the Norah Group still belongs to the Norah family, and I have the last say.”

As the den of wily old foxes was forming a plan on how to intimidate their latest shareholder, Braxton’s secretary stumbled into the meeting room. Her face was as white as a sheet.
