Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 234

A few grilling meetings followed now that we had Ace’s approval of the final commercial. Although, the commercial would really be final if it passed the committee’s review. I didn’t doubt that the commercial would make it past the review at all. If it was good enough to pass Ace’s review, then it was probably good enough to pass anyone’s review. That was what I truly believed. Ace’s standards were probably the highest and the strictest in the industry and he wasn’t someone who would hold back his comments for the sake of the team’s mental health or morale either.

“I want you to push up the meeting date with the committee,” Ace announced in the team meeting.

His words surprised everyone including myself. I had no idea why he was pushing the timeline even though we didn’t have that much time on our hands to start with, and now he was trying to shorten the time that we had. Everyone was visibly surprised and then very concerned.

“May I ask why you think that way?” Jeremy asked after hesitantly raising his hand.

He reminded me of a schoolboy who was scared that his teacher would yell at him. However, I did respect his courage to speak up and ask the question that was probably on all of our minds.

“We’re done with the work. There’s no point in stalling the process. Plus, if words get out to our competitors that our work has already passed the committee’s review and is well ahead of schedule, it would put a lot of pressure on our competitors,” Ace explained sternly.

It did make sense. Although Chase Creatives was no longer in the run to compete with us, that didn’t mean that we could ignore the other companies that were still participating. If we could apply pressure, then we should. The success of the campaign wouldn’t depend only on the quality of the commercial but also on the execution of its launch and marketing. If we could get a head start on that then it might really secure our victory for us.

“I’ll do my best to push up the meeting with the committee,” Julianna spoke up.

It was clear that this one would be on her and that was why she had decided to step up and make that commitment.

“Doing your best is good and all that but it doesn’t mean much if we don’t get the result that we want,” Ace stated coldly.

“I understand. I’ll make sure to move the meeting up for us,” she replied.

“This week. Can we get the meeting within this week?” Ace asked.

Although it was phrased as a question, I was sure that everyone knew that it was more of an order than a question. The atmosphere in the room was tense and I didn’t even dare to breathe. If Ace wanted the meeting this week, then there were only three more days left. Can Julianna call a meeting with the committee on such short notice?

“I understand. Please leave it to me. I will get a meeting with the committee within this week,” Julianna said with confidence.

My eyes widened as I stared at her determined face. She seemed so confident, and I felt so much respect for her and her commitment. I wanted to believe in her and that was what I decided to do.
