On the shareholders’ side, Elodie thought, Jarrod had already taken care of everything.
Everything was falling into place—almost unbelievably so.
Except for one thing.
Jarrod had handed her absolute control. Nexus Analytics was now a fully independent entity. She had the authority to replace board members, change Jarrod’s appointees, and amend company bylaws. Still, he personally retained a 10% stake, but under the agreement, he gave Elodie his full voting rights concerning Nexus Analytics.
He wouldn’t participate in any decisions or management; he’d simply collect his small share of the dividends.
It was a total relinquishment of control.
The meeting ended.
Elodie felt almost disoriented, as if things had gone too smoothly to be real.
She got up and headed for the door.
Jarrod walked over to her.
His gaze was lowered as he said, “Keep on the people at Nexus Analytics you can trust. I shouldn’t have to remind you about the rest.”
Elodie understood exactly what he meant. She said nothing, just turned and walked out.
Outside the conference room, Sylvie and Maurice were waiting.
A few attendees knew Sylvie and greeted her as they passed. One of them, noticing Sylvie glancing toward the meeting room, remarked with a knowing smile, “Today’s been quite a day—something huge just happened in there.”
Maurice looked intrigued. “What do you mean?”
At that moment, Elodie and Jarrod exited together—Elodie in front, Jarrod a few paces behind.
Sylvie saw them and her eyes immediately turned cold.
The same shareholder gestured toward Elodie and introduced her to Sylvie and Maurice. “That’s Ms. Thorne—she’s the new head of Nexus Analytics.”
Maurice froze in shock.
Sylvie’s face changed in an instant.
Nexus Analytics… Ms. Thorne?
