A ripple of uncertainty passed through the room as the assembly exchanged glances, their reactions held in
check.Undeterred, Wayne pressed on, "I vouch for Landon's competence.
Under his guidance, Landry International has remained unblemished.""He is more than qualified to assthe
role of CEO." His words hung in the air for a moment before he continued, "Now, let's see a show of hands from
those in favor of his appointment."
As he raised his own hand, a few others followed his lead. However, when the votes were tallied, only a sparse
two or three hands were raised, with many others wavering.
The camera panned across the room, the soft glow of the projector casting an ethereal light on the dimly lit
boardroom, revealing a myriad of expressions."Is there a problem?"
Wayne challenged, "If anyone disagrees, speak up. It's perfectly acceptable to voice your concerns."A
shareholder, his hair streaked with gray, interjected, "Shouldn't we wait for Alexander? He's one of us—a

shareholders, not subordinates! Do you need someone else's approval to express your opinions?"

His words stirred the room, whispers and murmurs echoing off the walls; everyone could sense Wayne's
irritation."Any other objections?"
Wayne's gaze was piercing, sending an unspoken message that the meeting would not adjourn until everyone
had made their decision. Under his intense scrutiny, a few more hands tentatively rose. The vote was now evenly
split, six to six. Just one more vote in favor would tip the balance.
Wayne's gaze shifted to a man seated diagonally opposite him, a slightly balding man with a hint of a double
chin, giving him an affable, prosperous appearance. The man met Wayne's stare and gave an awkward smile as
he slowly raised his hand.

of assured victory. Things were progressing smoother than he had anticipated.
Those who hadn't raised their hands looked on anxiously, their intense glares sending silent warnings to the
