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
Chapter Three Hundred And Thirty-EightDirector Evans thre back his head and laughed, causing bewildered looks from both Lana and the shareholders.They blinked in confusion at Director Evans apparent amusement, and wondered what was so funny."Look here, Dorector Evans, do you perhaps think this is a joke?" Director Nathan said, recovering from his earlier shock and now frowning darkly at Director Evans."Exactly. This is unbecoming of you as their CEO of the Romero Empire," Dorrcror Mina said with a disdainful sniff, "Laughing at serious matters like this? Hah! The least you could do is act decent, and show that you're concerned for the company but apparently that's beyond you."Director Evans laughter slowly trickled to a stop, but he made a great show of still being very tickled, as he wiped imaginary tears from his eyes.On the contrary, he was boiling with renewed anger. Director Mina's statement had caused that.A few weeks ago, they were all fawning over him, trying to vie for
Chapter Three Hundred And Thirty-SevenDirector Evans went pale, but that did not stop the wheels in his head from turning rapidly Lana Fernandez had just said that the last thing he wanted to do was increase his troubles.Does that mean that he was already in trouble?The little bitch!"Says who?" He thought, the sides of his lips lifting up into a snarl as he glared at Lana, "Who says I'm in trouble? I have the highest position right now in Romero. Everything is at the palm of my hand currently."He opened his mouth to utter his curse word, directed at her.To show her that she had no power over him.That, as the CEO of Romero Empire, he had every right to do whatever he wanted and however he wanted.However, Lana had turned away from him, a dismissive look of disdain on her face.She was facing the shareholders now."Well, what do you all think, Directors? Should we have the Internal Audit?," she asked, arching an eyebrow at them, "I'm asking because yoyr opinion AND approval is n
