Impressed
The board meeting ended in a peaceful manner. Before leaving, Charlotte gave Kallum some assurance
to pacify him.
His pride restored, Kallum strode off.
After the meeting, Johann and Spencer came to the president’s office to talk to Charlotte.
She was busy signing some documents. “Mr. Sterk, Mr. Spencer, you’re here!” She looked up briefly to
greet them.
“Give us three minutes to talk to you,” requested Johann with a pleasant smile.
“All right. Take a seat. I’ll be with you right after I finish signing these documents.”
Charlotte returned to her work, while Lupine ushered them to their seats and prepared hot tea for them.
Lucy soon came in with more documents, but Charlotte put her pen down and pinched the bridge of her
nose. “These shall wait. I need to talk to Mr. Sterk and Mr. Spencer.”
“Sure!” Lucy got her a cup of coffee.
Taking her seat on the couch, Charlotte flashed a shy smile. “I’m sorry. It’s been pretty busy lately…”
“Thank you,” Spencer said apologetically. “I’ve always thought of you as a young lady, but you changed
my mind today.”
“Yes. Back when I was a secretary at level 68, you were totally different,” Johann remarked.
“Pfft!” A crimson red crept up Charlotte’s cheeks. “Did you drink the chip placed accidentally in your
cup?” she joked.
Johann laughed heartily at her joke, and Spencer soon joined in.
This was the first time they had laughed after what happened back at Southridge.
Today, they had won the battle, and it was a good start.
They had to deal with the internal threat first before focusing on the external threat.
Now that the internal conflict had been resolved, they could focus on their rivals.
“Actually, I knew that all along, but I never got the chance to show it. Now that I think of it, Danrique has
protected me too well. He taught me a lot but never gave me the chance to face difficulties alone,”
Charlotte lamented.
“Danrique is a business whiz. He taught you well.” Johann gave his honest opinion.
“That was my first experience dealing with such a problem,” Charlotte revealed with a grin. “I only used a
basic trick and resolved the problem easily. It proves that the board members didn’t want to kick up a
fuss. They only wanted to know my attitude and determination.”
“You’re right.” Spencer was pleased. “Though they tried to put you in a tight spot, they are loyal to Nacht
Group. After all, they used to work for Mr. Henry. Back when Mr. Henry got sick, he had eliminated those
questionable employees. He also did a cleanup when Mr. Zachary got sick, too. The ones left behind
don’t have any outstanding issues, including Kallum. He may be reckless and competitive, but there’s
nothing wrong with his character. I was worried you’d unleash a killing spree, but you surprised me with
your decision and vision. I must say I’m impressed!”
Charlotte chuckled. “I’m not the same now. Don’t worry. There are more surprises to come.”
“Thank you. Thank you so much!” Though Spencer had a lot in mind, he could only express his gratitude.
“I’m here at Divine Corporation, so you don’t have to worry,” Johann said. “Though we’ve gained their
support, you need to be extra careful in some matters. We’ll always be here if you need us.”
“Thank you!” Charlotte nodded gratefully. “Let’s work hard to overcome this obstacle.”
“Yes, let’s do that.” Spencer and Johann bobbed their heads in agreement. “We’ll leave you to your work
now.”
After leaving her office, they shared a smiling look before sighing in relief.
