Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2223
The moment the attendees heard the announcement, they couldn’t keep their composure anymore.
“What’s going on? The agreement is not ready yet? Is he pulling a trick on us?”
“I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I mean, can a youngster really achieve something we veterans can’t?”
They engaged in another round of heated discussion in front of Larry and voiced out their doubts, but Larry refused to let the belittling remarks get to him. It wasn’t a lie when he mentioned he had a lot of things to deal with—he was in a hurry to head over to the hotel and pick Jessica up.
“I’m sorry, everyone, but I have to leave now. The main agenda of today’s meeting is to distribute the proposal. Please peruse it during your free time.”
He was about to leave, but another shareholder broke the silence and demanded, “Mr. Norton, are you sure you’re not trying to deceive us? We need a feasible solution, not a proposal!”
Ugh! Is Murphy’s law at play again?
Larry had no choice but to face the shameless bunch. He turned around and explained, “I have been telling the truth, and every staff in the company is aware of that.”
Nonetheless, the shareholders weren’t convinced at all. They had no intention to let Larry off the hook just yet, staring at him with scornful expressions like he was a liar.
The shareholder raised his volume and demanded, “We want to see the agreement immediately! Otherwise, you’re considered deceiving the shareholders! I’m sure you’re aware of the consequences of doing that, aren’t you?”
What on earth does he want? Is this part of their plan to strip me of my authority and position? Just how foolish can he get?
In the end, Larry raised his volume and repeated himself, “Have I not made myself clear? I said I would show it to everyone during the next meeting because I’m currently in a hurry!”
