The meeting with the board of directors was held in the conference room of the company’s headquarters. It was a formal and serious affair, with the board members seated around a large mahogany table, dressed in business attire. They were all important figures in the business world, and their expressions were grave as they listened to Ava’s proposal.
Ava stood at the head of the table, her posture straight, her voice confident as she presented her plan to take down Mason and save the company.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I have some serious concerns about the direction that our company is heading in, and I believe that it is imperative that we take action immediately.”
“What concerns are you referring to, Ms. Ava?” A middle-aged woman, Lucia, asked from the end.
“I have evidence that one of our executives, Mason, has been embezzling company funds and trying to sell the company without our knowledge or consent.”
“That’s a serious accusation, Ms. Quinn. Can you provide us with evidence to support this claim?”
“I can. I have a recorded conversation with Mason, in which he confesses to embezzling money and trying to sell the company.”
She showed them the recorded conversation she had with Mason, and they listened attentively as she explained how Mason had been embezzling money and trying to sell the company.
“This is indeed troubling. We’ll have to investigate this matter further and take appropriate action.”
The board members were shocked and dismayed by what they heard. They knew that the company was in a delicate state, and they were concerned about how this revelation would affect their reputation and bottom line.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“We’ll put it to vote, all in favor of taking the necessary steps to implement Ms. Quinn’s plan and put Mason on trial for embezzlement?”
“The motion is passed. We’ll move forward with your plan, Ms. Quinn. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”

“Agreed, let’s get to work.”
The meeting ended with a sense of determination and purpose, everyone was clear on the plan and the board members voted to reinstate Ava as the CEO of the company. She was thrilled and relieved, her hard work and determination had paid off, and she was back where she belonged.
However, not everything was smooth sailing for Ava. Some of the company’s former investors, who were unhappy with the scandal and the way it was handled, withdrew their support and investment from the company. Ava had to work hard to regain their trust and convince them to come back.
It was a difficult and challenging time, but Ava was determined to overcome it. She knew that the company had a bright future and she would do whatever it takes to make sure it succeeded.
Bruce was going about his business as usual, until he realized that Ava hadn’t been in the company for a while. He started to wonder where she was, and if everything was okay. He knew that they had had a falling out, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of concern for her.
He decided to ask around to see if anyone knew where she was. He went to the department where Ava used to work and asked the boss there, “Excuse me, I was wondering if you know where Ava is? I haven’t seen her in the office for a while.”
The boss looked at Bruce with a hint of sadness in his eyes, he was a middle-aged man, with graying hair and a serious expression. “I’m sorry Bruce, but Ava has quit the company. She left a few days ago and I haven’t heard from her since.”
Bruce was shocked, he couldn’t believe that Ava would just quit the company without telling him. He felt a knot form in his stomach, a mix of worry and guilt. He knew that he was partly responsible for her leaving, and he couldn’t shake off the feeling of regret.
He thanked the boss for the information and walked away, his mind racing with thoughts of Ava and what he could have done differently. He knew that he had to find a way to make things right and bring Ava back to the company.
After hearing the news that Ava had quit the company, Bruce was in a state of shock. He couldn’t believe that she would just leave without telling him. He knew that he had to find a way to make things right and bring Ava back to the company. So, he decided to go and see her.
He knocked on her door, and she opened it, her expression cold and distant. “What do you want, Bruce?” she asked, her voice filled with anger.
Bruce tried to explain that he was just concerned about her and that he wanted to help, but Ava was having none of it. “You have no right to be concerned about me, Bruce,” she said, her voice filled with bitterness. “You’re the reason I had to leave the company in the first place.”
Bruce tried to defend himself, but Ava wouldn’t listen. She told him that she could never trust him again, and that he had destroyed any chance of them ever being together.
The argument escalated, and Bruce quickly realized that he had lost Ava’s trust and respect. He left her house feeling dejected and guilty, knowing that he had hurt the woman he loved and that he had lost her forever.
