It would have been fine if Melody had calone. She shouldn't have brought Shelia along. Melody, however, swept her gaze over the Frazier Group's executives, her chin held high.
"This is a significant day for the collaboration between the Nichols and Frazier families. How could I not be here?" Her imperious demeanor was a remnant of a bygone era when the Nichols family held uncontested power in Seamar City. Times had changed, but Melody had not changed with them.

"Mrs. Nichols Sr., it's highly inappropriate to bring someone like her today." "Ms. Frazier is still present. Have you no respect for the Frazier family? "This isn't a collaboration; it's a humiliation." Melody still held her head high, seemingly oblivious to the discomfort she was causing.

The GM of Frazier Group, his face flushed with anger, glared at Melody. "It seems the Nichols family has overstepped it's bounds.
