lunch.

establishment.

announce it as soon as possible that afternoon.

directors about the meeting at 2 p.m. sharp.

her face. “Under everyone’s cooperation and hard work, the preparation for our overseas branch is

now.”

retreat herself.

directors.

“How could you say that about yourself, Uncle Dominic? Everyone here knows you’re our company’s
veteran that has contributed a lot to the growth of our company.”

much to the company, Dominic had always abused his powers and ordered the employees around
while acting like a tyrannical CEO.

fan the flames.
