Chapter 1052: You can’t let Atlas Bennet into this company.
"I would like to introduce you to our new Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Atlas Bennet."
As soon as those words left Zoren’s mouth, the people on standby opened the door. Everyone in the room was still processing the information when Atlas walked into the meeting room.
Dean dropped the pen he had been spinning to kill time, wide-eyed. He even heard it echo as it bounced off the floor. Not just him, but everyone — for a moment — had their jaws on the floor.
What in the world was going on?
Everyone wanted to deny this information, especially William and Jonathan. However, how could they deny or convince themselves that they misheard Zoren when Atlas Bennet, in the flesh, was now standing in front of them?
"For the longest time since I took this seat, this particular position has been vacant," Zoren spoke in the same tone, studying Atlas by his side before facing everyone. "Thankfully, Mr. Atlas Bennet accepted the offer after much persuasion. With him, I hope the operations of the Pierson Corporation will run more smoothly, and my vision for the company will be achieved faster than scheduled."
What answered Zoren was a pure, heavy silence. Everyone was still searching their hearts for what to say in response to this announcement.
"First, I would like to introduce myself properly." Taking advantage of the silence, Atlas took a step forward and lowered his head. "My name is Atlas Bennet, the former CEO of one of the biggest logistics companies in Anteca: Global Prime Logistics. I look forward to working with every one of you."
Once again, the response to Atlas’s words was silence.
Of course, they knew Atlas Bennet. Even if they didn’t want to, they knew him because he was one of the high-profile businessmen in the industry. They had heard everything about him — all the good and bad.
