Chapter 54: A Success
Gray didn’t react when the mission window appeared before his eyes. He kept his composure, giving only a small blink as the text disappeared again just as fast as it appeared.
But inside, he was quietly relieved. It seemed like he had impressed them with his answers. He was glad that his hard work for the past few days had been paid off.
’Good,’ he thought. ’That’s one less thing to worry about.’
The meeting continued for another thirty minutes. Some of the board members gave suggestions based on their own experience, while others asked minor follow-up questions about operations and leadership approach.
Gray answered them calmly, not pretending to know what he didn’t, but promising that he’d learn what he needed.
That alone earned him more points in their eyes.
Gray showed that he wasn’t arrogant, but he wasn’t timid either.
At the end of it all, Marcus closed his folder and stood again.
"Thank you, everyone, for your presence today," he said. "As of this moment, the Riverside Branch’s management is officially under Mr. Gray Adams. We will proceed with the internal handover of systems and responsibilities over the next few days. If there are no further concerns, this concludes our meeting."
People began to shift in their seats, a soft murmur spreading across the room.
Some stood, others began gathering their materials, and a few came over to shake Gray’s hand personally.
