Smart but Skyler, even he did not have a heart words can detect so clearly, in front of her, Stephen naturally will not lie: “not sure yet, just called the person, found the phone can not be reached.”
“I couldn’t get through just now, maybe I can get through now?” Skyler passed him an encouraging look, “Just call again.”
When another thirty-seven seconds later, the two finally gave up on the idea of calling, Stephen turned off his phone: “I was just going to go over to his side to look for him, and was about to drive over there when I saw you coming.”
“That’s exactly why I rushed over here …,” Skyler sighed, “Dolly and Brayden must not feel good in their hearts knowing this in the morning, it’s obviously been a long time since there’s been It’s been a long time since something like this happened.”
Stephen looked at her anxious expression and asked, “You care about their feelings.”
Skyler nodded without hesitation, “Of course, they’re my best friends.”
Before Stephen could say anything, Skyler pulled him into his car: “Come on, let’s go find the guy who did this together and ask him what he really wants. I don’t believe it, his phone can’t be reached, did he run away?”
Stephen was about to say something to help Jayden cover a bit when he grabbed her hand fiercely, but the words turned into, “… Take my car, or, I’ll drive the car navigation and you can just follow me in the car.”
Skyler laughed helplessly, “Isn’t anyone’s the same? Come on up, let’s go.”
Kirkland Group, this time Brayden think they are a lesson learned, deliberately did not take the company’s front door, but took Dolly to the back of the company, to the company only to know that the front door is also early surrounded by reporters, is waiting for them to show up.
“It’s a good thing we dodged them.” Dolly rubbed her chest, stunned.
Brayden face no expression, for all this feel very familiar: “What’s the use of hiding, things have happened, just for now, we simply do not have a solution.”
Dolly took his hand and tried to give his palm a warmth: “It’s going to be okay, it will be, we’ll face it together.”
Brayden flashed her a smile and returned her hand, as if they were two travelers keeping each other warm in Antarctica.
As he exited the elevator, Brayden received a text message from Kirkland Group’s largest shareholder, and Dolly followed suit to see what it said.
“In ten minutes, the shareholders’ meeting will be held.”
These brief eleven words, watching Dolly’s heart stutter, as if falling into the abyss, she shook Brayden’s hand hard, her throat felt like it was muddled by sugar water: “They … they won’t… …?”
Brayden rubbed her palm with his thumb, trying to brush away her nervousness and worries one by one as he whispered reassuringly, “No, I haven’t done anything wrong, and they don’t have the right or standing to impeach me yet.”
Since that misunderstanding, Brayden is no longer as domineering as before, and has a lot more gentle and humble that he didn’t have before, and at this moment, his words make Dolly seem to see the shadow of his former body again, the same confident and wild, the Brayden who can do anything in the business world is back. It will be fine.
The atmosphere of this shareholders’ meeting was unusually tense, and everyone had a serious expression on their faces, all of whom were already in their positions, waiting for Brayden to come.
Brayden is still in formal dress today, the atmosphere in the meeting room is quiet, everyone can only hear Brayden’s footsteps and his own heartbeat breathing as he walks over.
The entire conference room is like a black and white gray painting, snow-white walls, black professional formal wear, gray tile floor, angular tables all highlight the meticulous tone of the entire company.
Brayden pulled back his chair and sat firmly in his seat, and the people next to him all opened their folders in front of them in unison, and tacitly lifted their pens and held them in their right hands.
“I’m sure you’ve all seen this morning, the latest news about our Kirkland Group, without our knowledge, Gale Technologies has once again reached out to our branch, and this time our losses, combined with the previous ones, have been a considerable amount of money. ”
Brayden gave a clear cough: “I said before that I would not let such a situation intensify, but now this situation has happened, I am here to apologize to everyone.”
“Wait, Mr. Kirkland,” a white-haired shareholder sitting next to Brayden suddenly spoke up: “Even if you didn’t stop Gale Technologies from taking further action, shouldn’t you give us all a statement about what Mr. Kirkland knows about Gale Technologies? How much does Mr. Kirkland know about Gale Technologies?”
Brayden also did not back down and said bluntly, “It is true that I have not met with the chairman of Gale Technologies, but I know from my understanding that Gale Technologies’ target, is our entire Kirkland Group, and I have met with their chief financial officer, as for the secret behind the acquisition secret, he hesitated to reveal, only told me that Gale Technologies wanted the entire Kirkland Group, and this person, is the only way we can get a clue now.”
“If that’s the case, then why don’t you bring him to our place and let everyone here talk to him?” The old shareholder asked aggressively.
Brayden had to say hard: “When I learned of this matter this morning, the first person who came to mind, is he, I certainly have looked for this person, only he stopped calling and his whereabouts are unknown.”
“Heh …” the old shareholder laughed lightly, full of cynicism towards Brayden: “Since you say his whereabouts are unknown and his whereabouts are unknown, and you tell everyone here about the existence of this man, how are you going to make us How do you expect us to believe that you are not shirking your responsibilities and hiding the truth?”
A middle-aged shareholder also responded, “That’s right, now this person can’t be contacted, how is Mr. Kirkland going to convince us that what you say is true and that this person really exists?”
Instead of focusing on the fact that the essence of the matter was that Gale Technologies wanted the entire Kirkland Group, and focusing on whether or not this Gale Technologies CFO was real, Brayden really had nothing to say, after all that had happened, he had no credibility at all in the eyes of the old guys here. credibility to speak of.
Brayden sat up a little straighter to make himself look more imposing: “As shareholders of Kirkland Group, you should be paying attention to the nature of this matter, not questioning the truth of my words, and I will not deliberately make up a person to swindle you.”
