Chapter 155: Derail
Sunday arrived, and Alexander found himself still trapped in Lamey, grappling with the aftermath of a tragic accident at the semiconductor factory. The incident had not only claimed lives but also left numerous individuals injured, creating a pressing need for his attention and leadership.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, he prepared to conduct a press conference aimed at addressing the public’s concerns. It was essential for him to convey that the Lancaster Group would fully cooperate with any investigations and take proactive measures to handle the fallout from the tragedy. This was not merely a public relations issue; it was a matter of corporate responsibility and integrity.
Alexander had the best team in place, ready to manage the situation once he made his public appearance and laid the groundwork. Still, he couldn’t help but feel the weight of the responsibility pressing on him.
He understood that his presence was crucial. It required his personal touch and commitment to reassure stakeholders, employees, and the community that the Lancaster Group was taking full responsibility.
He steeled himself for the press conference, ready to face difficult questions and provide transparency in a time of uncertainty. He knew that trust could only be rebuilt through honest communication and decisive action.
Seated in the back of his car, Alexander massaged his temple as they headed toward the venue of the press conference. His mind was split between the crisis at hand and the personal commitment he would inevitably be late for.
He was more concerned about the fact that he wouldn’t make it in time to accompany his wife to the engagement party later. "Do you think I can still make it?" Alexander asked, glancing at his wristwatch.
Tyron checked the schedule and responded, "After the press conference, we still need to meet with the prime minister and some officials. You’ll make it to the party, but you’ll be late."
Clicking his tongue in frustration, Alexander felt uneasy. He didn’t trust Rain’s family to let her attend Dina’s engagement party without some kind of interference—especially since it was at Paul’s family estate.
