In the conference room, a quiet hum of chatter echoed as the employees waited for the arrival of their bosses. Some whispered among themselves, exchanging speculations and guesses, while others sat nervously, adjusting their ties or tapping their pens against their notepads.

The sharp clicking of the woman's high heels against the polished floor filled the room, commanding attention with each confident step she took. Beside her was the former chairman of the company, Joseph Ingram, who appeared to be explaining something intently to the woman. Strangely enough, his posture and tone seemed less like that of a chairman and more like that of an employee reporting to his superior.
