ALL the directors fell silent, turning their attention to him.
“It has been five years since I assumed the presidency of Blakely Group. The time has
flown by swiftly. I won’t claim that I’ve poured my entire heart and soul into the company,
but I did strive to live up to my grandfather’s expectations and ensure the company
thrived under my leadership.
Throughout my time in office, I trust that you have come to grasp my character well. I’m
not inclined to compromise easily or be influenced by public opinion. I firmly believe that a
leader must be capable of navigating complex situations, have a keen eye to discern
prevailing trends, and have the courage and decisiveness to make crucial decisions.

perspectives. In light of that, I won’t impose my ideas on you. Since our visions diverge,
there’s no need for us to collaborate any longer. Therefore, I’ve decided to step down from
my role as CEO and general manager of Blakely Group, effective immediately.
Despite any challenges we may have faced, I want to express my gratitude for your
support and trust in my work over the past few years. As I approach my thirtieth year, I’m
excited to embrace fatherhood as my wife and I are expecting. I aim to spend more time
with her during this significant time in our lives.”
The board members displayed various expressions on their faces.
A few seconds of silence filled the room, then one of the directors spoke up.
“I believe we’re all well aware of the significance the CEO position holds for Blakely Group.
Mr. Blakely, there’s no need to rush your decision. I suggest we put this matter to a vote.”
“There’s no need,” Tyrone said, standing up from his chair. “I have already submitted my
written resignation to the board of directors via email. I kindly request that you all approve
it as soon as possible.
Once the new president is chosen, I will conduct the handover in accordance with the
company’s constitution.”
What transpired during today’s board of directors meeting was as Tyrone had anticipated.
Tyrone took advantage of the current situation and resigned on his terms, which shocked
everyone.
Certain directors hadn’t expected things to proceed so seamlessly.
For others, it came as a complete and unexpected shock that the CEO of Blakely Group
was going to change, leaving them concerned about their future interests.
“As for the selection of the new president, it will need to be deliberated amongst
yourselves. However, I believe you’ve already decided on a suitable candidate. I wish you
all the best.”
Tyrone then turned on his heels and left the meeting room.
The rest exchanged dismayed looks, unsure of how to react.

Harrell struck while the iron was still hot. Seizing the moment, he said, “It’s not wise for
the company to be without a CEO. We must expedite the selection process to get the
company back on track. I propose Larry Blakely as the new president and general
manager of Blakely Group. He possesses the necessary experience and skills to lead the
company to success.”
As Tyrone left the meeting, he stopped and gazed steadily at Larry, who was walking with
Theo.
Tyrone wasn’t surprised to see the two of them together.
“Congratulations, Larry,” he said with a nod.
“Tyrone.”
The two exchanged a glance of tacit understanding.
Instead of offering an explanation, Larry greeted Tyrone with a wry smile before
confidently striding past him.
