Chapter 620 The Calm Before Departure

“Exactly. Well said. The Marketing Department does need a breakthrough. Letting one of our own take over is still more reliable than an outsider.”
“I agree. Teamwork makes the dream work. With you, Mr. Mason, overseeing the bigger picture, and Mr. Pedro taking charge, I’m sure he’ll deliver results.”
One voice after another chimed in.
The executives who normally deferred to Mason without question–who used to praise his every decision as flawless–now seemed as if they had collectively lost their minds. They were openly supporting a proposal that clearly risked the company’s interests. And worse, they saw nothing wrong with Pedro’s completely blank résumé.

“If everyone thinks it’s feasible,” Mason finally said, his voice unreadable, “then it’s settled.” “In ten days, we’ll hold an emergency shareholders‘ meeting to vote on Pedro’s appointment as Marketing Director. If the majority approves, it will take effect immediately.”

After a long day of chaos and calculation, something inside him–restless and cold–strangely settled at the sight of her calm presence.
“You’re packing already?” he finally asked.
