After dinner last night, Desmond said he was tired and returned to his room to rest. He did not discuss anything with Noah.
Chloe was shocked. It meant that Desmond was hiding this from everyone else. Was he about to announce something big? He had even kept this hidden from the two of them.
She sat next to Noah while the seat at the head of the table was Desmond's.
After some time, Desmond walked in.
"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. I met an old friend on my way here and was delayed." He put his walking stick down and took the main seat.
"Don’t worry, we haven’t been waiting long.”
"It’s rare for us to see you, sir. It's worthwhile no matter how long we wait."
"Yes, it's our honor to see you. Mr. Desmond, have you had breakfast? I got this for you. It's the bun from the restaurant downstairs you used to love.”
Everyone fawned over Desmond. The pretentious executives smiled from ear to ear. Worried that he would be displeased, they tried their best to curry his favor.
"No, thank you." Desmond waved. He then instructed his assistant to turn on the screen. "Let's begin with the profits and losses over the past three years.”
