Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 1102

As the workday drew to a close, many people had already clocked out, only to find themselves heading back to the office.

There she stood, a striking figure of a middle-aged woman, her presence commanding attention from the moment she entered the room. She was slender, her beauty captivating and her demeanor carrying an air of sophistication and authority. Her eyes, though sharp and glacial, spoke volumes of wisdom and calm acquired over the years.

The shareholders were momentarily struck silent, unsure of how to react.

It wasn't until Mr. Liam broke the silence, introducing her to the room, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ms. Tennyson, the chairwoman of GerminiaInko Group. To put it simply, she's the boss of our own chairman, Phineas."

The room remained quiet, still reeling from the surprise. One of the older shareholders finally stepped forward, perplexed. "Are you truly the chairwoman of the parent group? The whole business of sending someone over was shrouded in mystery. We got no names, no dates, just a cryptic email from Germinia. Why all the secrecy and why show up here now out of the blue?"

Parisa had anticipated skepticism and perhaps some resentment. With a knowing smile, she addressed the room, having prepared for this moment. "Please, everyone, let's not jump to conclusions. My assistant here will provide the necessary credentials proving my position as chairwoman. If there's still doubt, I can contact Germinia's executives directly to confirm my identity and authority."

The room buzzed with a mix of shock and apprehension.
