Chapter 206: Shareholders Meeting IV
Athena slowly moved her head in the direction of the woman who just nominated her while she was still talking, her brows furrowing as she saw the woman in her late fifties meeting her gaze calmly.
Although Athena couldn’t exactly recall who the woman was, she knew the latter was in the education sector of the country.
"What about you?" The woman repeated, still looking at her. "I think you are the best to handle the company, in Sandro’s absence... since Mr. Ethan isn’t exactly a permanent fixture in this country, as he has other investments outside the country."
Ethan and Athena exchanged a furtive glance, the real reason lost to the shareholders staring at them, who thought the duo were just appraising themselves.
However, Aiden was aware of the reason for the glance. Last night, after the call with Antonio and then Alvarez, Athena had sent a new email to Ethan about his position in the scheme of things, and now these people were thinking of making him head? It was good that Athena had thought ahead of them.
Athena paused, needing not to stammer, and arranged her thoughts. "I don’t think I fit the profile. As you all know, I have a lot on my plate at the moment. I think someone else should take the bill..."
The shareholders looked at each other, wondering who to pick next.
Alfonso, seeing that things were not going his way, decided to forgo his desire to slap his daughter and move to Plan B. After all, he wasn’t the one who had been expelled from school.
"Since we have reached an impasse about who to select for the seat of the directorship, I suggest that we select with the criteria of the shareholder with the highest number of shares, apart from the owner of the company." He said, meeting the gaze of every shareholder, apart from Athena and Old Mr. Thorne.
Old Mr. Thorne found this rather amusing, but they had expected this gameplay too.
"Considering the amount displayed on the company’s inner files, as of the last time, it is known that my family collectively has the largest amount of shares, and to that end, I suggest I be the director." Alfonso spoke when none of the shareholders said anything to his suggestion.
