Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-FourThe shareholders were provoked.Director Nathan pointed his hands towards Director Mina, "Looky here, who do you think you're talking to?" He said gruffly."Shut up you fool," Another shareholder, Director Thompson uttered calmly. He straightened up on his seat and leaned forward, "She has a point. And its no use fighting amongst ourselves like this."Director Nathan snorted in derision, and Director Mina threw Director Thompson a grateful look, even though her face was still cold.The men had so irritated her just now, acting without reason and it disgusted her. She was even more irritated that they made it so obvious that they were going in for the money. What if Lana had found out? No, she probably already knew all about it.That stupid Director Nathan had boldly asked her for the location of the slush fund when she was here.Like Lana would ever reveal it.They were all so eager to paint Lana black, instead of waiting patiently and using her
Chapter Three Hundred And Forty- ThreeWithout another word, Lana strode from the room followed by Diego. The shareholders said nothing and could only watch her go.Infact, they had nothing to say.Because Lana was right.The internal audit was yet to be held. If word got out that they knew anything about a secret slush fund, it would be disastrous and would be pinned on them as well.This was why they were so scared to mention anything about the slush fund, and Director Mina had gone ahead to break the dam.The turned to her immediately the door closed behind Lana."Director Mina, do you have proof of what you just uttered?" They queried, casting dark gazes on her direction, "What made you think you could go about saying such incriminating words?"Director Mina bristled, "Oh please, am I on Director Evans side?" She fired back, "I only said that to get Lana Fernandez reaction, and see what she really had in mind.""And so?" Dieector Thompson asked, "What came out of it? She did not
Chapter Three Hundred And Forty TwoAs Director Evans stormed out of the conference room, the other shareholders watched him go.As soon as he was gone, they immediately turned to Lana."Misss Lana, now you can tell us about what just happened here," they said, leaning in eagerly so they could hear whatever she spoke well.Lana gave them all a straight look, "Whatever do you mean?" She asked, keeping her voice cool and collected, "Were you not in the room yourselves?"The shareholders were taken aback by this statement, and they cast confused looks at each other.Lana sighed, shaking her head in annoyance, "Its just as you have heard," she uttered, "Director Evans would call an internal audit, and they would look into any misappropriation of funds going on in the company.""Yes, we heard that. We were in the roo.," Director Mina said sarcastically, causing Lana to give her a sharp look.She quickly cleared her throat and looked away rapidly, "What we are trying to figure out is why on
Chapter Three Hundred And Forty-OneSoon, the elevator ding sounded as they got to a floor and more people came on to the elevator.They walked in bowing low before Director Evans and the assistant.Director Evans straightened his suit, and in an instant, his red and angry face had been transformed to a jovial one."How's it going?" He greeted the workers who were mostly female.The workers, who had felt the tension in the air when they had walked in were relieved beyond measures when Director Evans greeted them."Hello, CEO Evans," they responded and pressed their floors, while breathing freely, instead of being anxious their boss was standing before them.Most of the workers thought Director Evans was a nice man, a father figure who cared for them.They were concerned about how he was faring with the recent scandal brought about by that article.This was because they believed he was fully not involved in anything that would harm Romero.Since Lana Fernandez disgraceful behavior, he
Chapter Three Hundred And Forty The heavy door banged shut after Director Evans, with a loud noise as he stormed out of the conference room.He walked rapidly, red in the face, and other employees quickly bowed, and got out of their way when they saw his demeanor.Director Evans did not return anyone's greeting. He just headed straight for the elevator that would get him out of that floor.His assistant hurried before him, and quickly pressed on the button for the elevator, while standing aside in order to escape Dorector Evans wrath.Director Evans was livid.He stood fuming in the elevator and the assistant was glad that it was empty. Then perhaps, if Director Evans wanted to lash out at him, he could, and he would not be embarrassed in front of his colleagues.But even if the elevator were occupied, Director Evans would not hesitate to still show him up and embarrass him.Suddenly, Director Evans smashed his fist into the smooth metal wall of the elevator on his right. The assista
Chapter Three Hundred And Thirty-Nine "I am the CEO."Lana bristled at that statement uttered by Director Evans.She bit her bottom lip in a bid to keep back her fury.It would seem that Director Evans would not waste any opportunity to remind her that he had taken her position, and was occupying the highest position in Romero at the moment."The old fox," she cursed inwardly, marveling at how smart the old man was for quickly taking the reins on the internal audit."I should have just released the proof of his slush fund to the board and the press," She thought, her lips drawn into a tight line of fury.That would have been the perfect plan, and Director Evans would not have dared to stand up against her like this.But she knew exactly why she had held back that information, and had instructed Sandy to do what he did.Romero would be very much affected.Stock prices might plummet and investors would pull back. They would lose their projects and their reputatoons and Damien would not
