A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1928

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1928

“Mr. Norton, I would like to live a quiet and relaxing life now that I’m old. So please…”

“Indeed, we’ve passed our prime…” the Shareholders each voiced their reasons as they glanced at Larry in disdain.

Larry closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.

The show must go on despite whoever leaves Norton Corporation.

“Alright. I believe you’ve already made up your mind. So, would you like to cash out your shares to me or someone else?” Larry asked directly without wasting any time.

The shareholders looked shocked by the fact that he had agreed so easily. They had not expected Larry to do so without a fight.

They had merely wanted to threaten Larry in hopes that the man would be more respectful towards them. Their last resort had been to ultimately leave the company.

Norton Corporation had gone through countless challenges to become the company it was today. Thus, no one was willing to cause trouble. No one wanted to fight over the so-called benefits for themselves, especially at the age of retirement. Their lives were what was deemed the most important!

“Mr. Norton, is this something you’ve always looked forward to?” a Shareholder queried all of a sudden.

Larry let out a cold laugh as he shot the man an icy glare.

“My dear shareholders, I believe you’ve witnessed how far the Norton Corporation has come all this while. It wasn’t an easy journey; we faced many problems like any other corporation out there. We’ve overcome so many challenges together. Therefore, I hold a clear conscience against every one of you. Yet, now you’ve decided to leave as you please. Haven’t you thought of my feelings? Larry slammed his palms flat on the table.

The shareholders were taken back by his words. The tension in the atmosphere intensified.

“I was the one who took matters into my own hands when the company was in deep waters. On the other hand, you only showed support when the company was making a profit. So, what do you all want now? You wish to resign altogether? Go ahead. I’ll sign it right away as soon as you hand me your resignation letter. That’s all!” Larry got up and headed towards the door.

“Mr. Norton!” a Shareholder called out.

“Let’s talk this out. We shouldn’t fight among one another, especially when the company’s in a stable condition,” the shareholder said.
