Novel & Cerita Confession Executive Committee

They both were attending office after a long time. He said nothing as she took her seat across from him. But the flicker in his eyes said it all. It was pride? concern? And a mix of all other emotions. The meeting began. Financial projections. Q3 projections. Digital expansion took place Then came Leo’s assistant. “I’d like to address the ethics review committee,” he said smoothly, standing with a practiced smile. “We’ve had some... concerning behavior lately. I believe we need to reassess the company’s image, especially regarding some of our leadership.”

he said finally "It's a system, a hierarchy within a larger organization, there’s always a shift in power every now and then, and committees of the organization have to pledge loyalty to them, no matter what, the last power shift was seven years ago” "And the leader?" I asked leaning forward "That's the problem" Evan said "The current leader takes anonymity to another level, even the committee doesn't know who they are" I hummed, leaning back in my chair "Will they know you were snooping? ”Evan nodded, his expression wary "Yes, sir" "Good" I said, twirling the Rubik's cube on the desk in front of me. "Send them a little message from me”

But the real comedy was happening over by the vice presidents. Three senior executives, who had spent the entire week secretly planning a wild weekend of offshore drinking, high-stakes poker, and sneaking forbidden guests into their cabins, were currently having full-blown panic attacks. "Is... is that Reynold?!" Vice President Miller squeaked, dropping his designer sunglasses into the mud. "Why is he here?!" another executive hissed frantically, shoving a suspicious duffel bag full of top-shelf tequila under a bus tire. "He hasn't attended a corporate retreat since 2019! He hates campfires!"

He clears his throat, carefully avoiding Victor’s desperate gaze. “I have reviewed the compliance files, Victor,” Richard says, his voice surprisingly firm as he turns to face the chairman. “The evidence of self-dealing and corporate fraud is unequivocal. I cannot defend this. In fact, I move for an immediate vote of no confidence regarding Victor Hale’s position on the executive board.” Victor stares at Richard, his mouth slightly open, utterly stunned by the swift, brutal betrayal of his closest ally. “Seconded,” Dr. Thorne says immediately from table two.

“I brought you back to save you from the world’s corruption, not to watch you throw yourself into it.” We broke up with no agreement. His words hung in the air like smoke, fogging my mind as I went about my work. I heard confessions that morning, offering absolution to sins that seemed trivial compared to the ones we committed in the tunnels. A lay employee confessed to theft. A beginner confessed to unclean thoughts. I said the usual words, but my mind was elsewhere. On Caterina’s soft gasps in the dark. On the chained book that contained centuries of deception.

“Could be anyone. Someone I’ve trusted for years.” She took my hand. “We’ll figure it out.” “What if we don’t?” “Then we’ll keep fighting. Like we always do.” ----- The next morning I walked into an emergency board meeting. Ten executives sat around the table, people I’d trusted for years. Now every single one of them felt like they could be the traitor. I looked at each face, wondering which one of them helped Jonathan? Which one is still planning the next move? Margaret Chen ran the meeting. VP of Finance. Smart as hell. Twelve years with the company. Or at least that’s what she said.

Then I raised my hand and the room settled. "I am not here to destroy my brother," I said, making sure my voice was calm and reasonable. "I am here to protect this company. What I am proposing is a temporary transfer of executive authority to a board appointed committee while a full internal investigation is conducted. Evans remains a shareholder. He simply steps back from operational control until this matter is resolved." Gerald leaned forward. "And who would lead this committee?" "I would volunteer to serve," I said simply. "As senior Wilson family member with a clean record and no existing conflicts of interest."

another executive finally admitted. “Who had access to the final files? Only the executive board, project heads and selected trusted staff.” I leaned forward slowly against the table. “Then one of them betrayed me.”I said, but nobody answered. I could practically smell the fear inside the room now. Good, because somebody here was lying. The next several hours became endless meetings after meetings. Legal teams came in, department heads came in, and shareholders joined through video calls demanding explanations. Everybody wanted answers, but unfortunately for them, so did I.

Kendall took out a gum from her pocket, unwrapped it and threw it inside her mouth. "This is totally unacceptable Mr Chairman! How could you do something so terrible?" "I can explain.... It's not what you think -" "Save your explanation for the next board meeting, then we'll decide your faith." The senior executive said and they all agreed with him before exiting the boardroom one after the other… totally disappointed. "If you don't stop this madness right now you will never find your sister again."

Because once he responds officially, He commits to a version of truth. And committed lies are harder to retract. “You’re not releasing the ledger yet?” he asked. “No.” “When?” “When he contradicts himself.” The Internal Panic Inside Director’s committee, tension built quickly. Board members received notice of review. Two had not been informed of the transfer at all. One demanded explanation. Another requested written clarification. Director scheduled an emergency meeting. Calm. Controlled. Confident. But beneath the surface, Irritation. She had forced him into daylight. The Meeting
