Madam Katie decided it was time to confront Martins. She couldn't stand by and watch Carina suffer without doing something. She called Martins and arranged a meeting at her house.When Martins arrived, she didn't waste any time. "Martins, how is your relationship with Carina?" she asked, her tone firm.Martins looked down, not saying a word."She told me you two broke up," Madam Katie continued, watching him closely.Martins nodded slowly. "She found out on her own."Madam Katie's patience wore thin. She stood up, her voice rising. "Why didn't you tell her yourself? Why did you let her find out this way?"Martins flinched but remained silent."You left her in pain, Martins. You disappeared and tried to run away from it. You should have faced it earlier, explained everything to her.""I was too ashamed," Martins said quietly. "I couldn't face her."Madam Katie’s eyes flashed with anger. "What are you going to do now?""I’m going to stay away from her," Martins said, his voice barely ab

I didn’t sleep at all last night. My mind was racing, and my heart was heavy. But somewhere in the chaos, an idea began to form. By morning, I was certain of what needed to be done. I immediately requested an urgent meeting with the investors, directors, and Madam Katie. I needed to turn everything around, and this was my only shot.The conference room filled quickly, tension palpable in the air. Madam Katie sat beside me, her presence a comforting reminder that I wasn’t alone. The investors and directors watched me with hard eyes, waiting for me to speak.I took a deep breath and began, “Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I want to start by apologizing for the recent issues we’ve faced.”One of the directors cut me off, his impatience clear. “Get to the point, Carina. We don’t have time for apologies.”I nodded, trying to keep my composure. “I’ve come up with a new proposal that I believe will turn things around for our company.”I began to outline my plan, detailing the

Mr. Blake, a shareholder and part of Nelly and Maria's team, called them with urgency in his voice. "Carina is meeting with the board of directors tomorrow. She's been persuading many of them, and it's working. You need to act now."Nelly, always quick to action, nodded though he couldn’t see it. "We can't let her win. We'll take care of it."Maria chimed in, "We'll visit each of the directors tonight. We need to spoil her plans and plant doubts about her capabilities."The two women set out immediately. Their first stop was Mr. Harrison’s house. He was a key board member, and if they could turn him against Carina, it would have a domino effect.Maria knocked on the door, and after a few moments, Mr. Harrison opened it, looking surprised to see them. “ Maria, what brings you here and who is your friend?’ Maria smiled, though it didn't reach her eye “ We need to talk about Carina. Can we come in?" Maria made sure to divert the question on who Nelly was. Mr. Harrison hesitated but ste

The day of the election finally arrived. Mandy called me in the morning, offering some advice. I listened carefully, grateful for her support. After dropping Leah at school, I headed straight to the meeting.When I arrived, all 26 members of the company were present, including Madam Katie and Mandy, who were also shareholders. Madam Katie, the chief shareholder, began the meeting with a speech about the importance of the day's vote. Her voice was firm and commanding, setting a serious tone. “This meeting is crucial for the future of our company,” she said. “We must handle it with the utmost professionalism.”But as soon as she finished, an argument broke out over whether the election should be open or closed. Voices clashed, and the room became chaotic. Board members shouted at each other, turning the atmosphere tense and hostile.My eyes met Maria’s across the room. She had a strange smile on her face, one that I couldn’t understand. I quickly looked away and stood up. “I suggest the

After the election, Maria found herself contemplating her next move. Carina had emerged victorious, thanks in part to Martins' unexpected vote. Determined to regroup, Maria decided to pay a visit to Mr. Blake, who had spearheaded the opposition against Carina.She knocked on Mr. Blake's office door, and he gestured for her to enter. "Maria, come in. What's our next step?" he asked brusquely, cutting straight to the point.Maria took a seat, her mind racing. "Honestly, I'm not sure. Carina's support seems stronger than we anticipated."Mr. Blake leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "We need a new strategy. Have you spoken to Nelly?"Maria shook her head. "Not yet. I haven't even told her that Carina won this time. Besides, Nelly now works at Carina's rival company."Mr. Blake chuckled, impressed. "Ah, Nelly. Always making power moves. I admire her ambition."Maria felt a pang of jealousy at the praise Nelly received, but she kept her composure. "Yes, sh
