Never Late, Never Away Chapter 492
Finnick’s eyes narrowed in annoyance as he turned to look back at Mark. “I don’t think this meeting is of any importance.”
“How could you say that?” Mark slammed a hand onto the table. “This meeting is to discuss the direction in which the Norton Corporation should be expanding. This is key to whether or not the company can advance higher and further, and you’re saying this isn’t important?”
The lower-ranking directors flocked to agree with Mark.
“That’s right! How can you manage Norton Corporation with that attitude?”
“I knew that we shouldn’t have let him off the hook so easily last time. We should revoke his shares in the company.”
“Obviously, he doesn’t care for us if he’s just coming and going whenever he likes.”
Not wanting to make a mountain out of a molehill, Finnick begrudgingly sat back down and resumed the meeting.
What had happened in the past had not left a very good impression on the company’s board of directors. If he continued to let their bad impression grow, there was a high chance that he might lose his job at the Norton Corporation.
Seeing this, self-satisfaction flashed through the depths of Mark’s eyes as he let out an internal sigh of relief.
Evelyn had called him earlier, instructing him to hold Finnick up around noon today. Although he didn’t know what Evelyn had up her sleeve, she promised that as long as he followed her orders, she would find a way to make Finnick transfer his shares in the company to Mark.
Having worked with Evelyn on several other occasions, Mark had no doubt that Evelyn could achieve whatever she set her mind to. So, he agreed.
Mark dilly-dallied for about two more hours before finally ending the meeting.
Finnick was the first to leave the meeting room, causing the directors to chatter in displeasure yet again. But he didn’t care for them. His patience had already been worn thin, and he couldn’t stand having to sit in there for a second longer. Let them think whatever they want to think.
