“Yeah, we’ re eager to watch how you’re going to turn things around.”
“Can you tell us what you’ll be revealing this evening? We’re already not in the mood to work hard.”
With all these arguments going on in the meeting room, Catherine was at a loss for words.
This was quite different from her expectations. She thought that these executives would, to a certain
extent, blame her.
Who knew the situation would turn out to be more like a press conference that’s filled with paparazzi?
She clenched her fists, coughing lightly. “Can all of you behave yourselves? We’re supposed to discuss
matters related to the company during the meeting instead of my private affairs.”
General Manager Wolfe said with a grin, “We can’t help ourselves. Almost everyone in Australia is
talking about the love triangle you’re involved in.
Everyone’s saying that your love life can be turned into a romance movie that’s full of ups and downs.”
“Exactly. A well-known writer contacted me this morning, saying that he’d like to have a brief interview
with you. He wants to write about your story and turn it into a novel.”
“My friends who know that I work in Hudson came to me to ask about you too. They’re really curious
about the big news you’ll be revealing this evening.”
“Same here. Everyone’s discussing this in my WhatsApp groups.”
“The producers of a variety show would also like to invite you over. They said that you’re now even
more popular than those celebrities with huge fan bases.”
“The public just wants to find out whether you’re set on being with Shaun forever.”
Catherine was speechless.
While momentarily dazed, she wondered if she was hosting a press conference right now.
When in fact, it was the company’s annual general meeting.
“Enough. Let’s get back to business, alright?’
Catherine directly stood up and raised her hand to calm everyone. “Well, if we’re still not doing well with
the houses, we can consider reducing the prices. Although we might earn less that way, I plan to put
together some funds and have Hudson venture into the tourism industry in the future.”
“Tourism industry? Sounds great.”
A manager approved of her idea, saying, “ Chairwoman Jones, if you’re planning to develop the
tourism industry, I’m sure you can attract many people’s attention considering your impressive
reputation at this point.”
“Yup. Regardless of the unfavorable news, I believe you’ll soon be able to expose Wesley’s true colors.
”
“You can attend a variety show and promote our company when the time comes.”
“You can also promote it in your autobiographical romance novel.”
“It’ll surely be a hit.”
Catherine did not know what else to say.
She felt disinclined to carry on with the meeting, given that the executives in this room were completely
seeing eye to eye with her.
There was nobody singing a different tune, was there?
She kind of missed how those shareholders had kept turning against her back then.
When Catherine finally got back to her office, she was so exhausted that she felt as if she had just
participated in a large press conference. “chairwoman Jones, why are you choosing to develop the
tourism industry all of a sudden? I’ve never heard you mention it. When did you decide on it?” At last,
General Manager Wolfe raised a proper question.
Catherine sipped on her coffee. “I decided on it when I was on my way here.”
General Manager Wolfe went quiet.
Catherine’s random yet determined behavior left him speechless.
“I always had this idea, but I just hadn’t made up my mind. This morning, I heard my dad recounting my
mom’s past. I want to be resolute like my mom.” Catherine’s eyes narrowed. She wanted to honor
Sheryl and realize her unfulfilled ambitions.
