Chapter 87 Turning Point.
“...With this, I think it’s safe to say the meeting has come to a conclusion?” Standing at the head of the meeting table, Leonica looked at each of the shareholder’s face which now held complete doubts towards Rodrigo’s words after she had tallied not only evidence of wrongful accusation concerning her personal life and private image, but also evidence of how much the company had risen in the last two months since she had taken over.
The scales were weighed, supposed bad against all the good she had done since taking seat, and as wise business individuals, they chose the right side of the scale. The side of the scale that ensured the Romero Empire continued to raise more than it already was.
With nods of agreements from each and every shareholders present, the meeting of presidency debate was brought to an end. Flashing them one last smile of professionalism, Leonica exited the conference room. As she walked out, Rodrigo nearly got slammed in the face by the opening doors. He staggered back just in time for the tips to grace his nose.
Leonica’s eyes narrowed at him as soon as she saw him and she scoffed when realizing that the snitch had been ease dropping, probably praying that the tables would be turned in his direction and she would lose her seat as president of Romero Empire.
Sadly it hadn’t gone that way.
“I don’t pay my employees to hang around and ease drop on executive level meetings, Rodrigo. So, would you mind telling me why you are here, ease dropping. Oh, and why you are at it, be a dear and explain to me why you turned in those photos to board members of my company.” Leonica questioned. With each word she said, she took a step towards Rodrigo, causing him to take a step of his own back as he scrambled his brain for an escape route, which he had failed to come up with earlier.
Why should he have bothered coming up with a backup plan when his plan was fail proof. Everything had been going perfectly, Leonica’s reputation was falling and falling fast and he took that opportunity to execute his ultimate plan, knowing that if it worked, he’d no longer have to work as a mere employee and refer to her as the boss.
But that was one thing he failed to consider. The word ‘IF’. His mentality at the start of his ‘master plan’ as he called it was that it was going to go throw. It was either he won it all nothing, that’s why he put his all in it and targeted the perfect moment.
So who would have told him that he would need a ‘back up plans’? Rodrigo would have laughed if it had not been him in this situation.
“Are you going to tell me the reason or would you rather I did?” Leonica asked after he had remained silent for quite a while, mind not being able to come up with an escape route.
It was all or nothing and all or nothing, had failed him.
