Ben felt embarrassed and enraged, but he had to hold it back and stay calm. Cunning little bitch. He cursed silently.
He took a few deep breaths to help swallow the anger. Then he stood up and excused himself. When he returned to the room about five minutes later, he looked calm and confident. However, if one was a bit more observant, they could not miss the slight disappointment shown in his eyes.
"I agree to the conditions. I will prove to everyone here about my competence." He said clearly as if he was making an announcement while thinking I want to be a dictator, not just a CEO! The conditions felt like chains attached to his legs. He came with ambition and confidence, and now he felt defeated, defeated by the same young girl again.
Hearing Ben's agreement, the shareholders' faces lit up. Wonderful!
Nathalia smiled. "Great. That's it then. Congratulations." Everyone applauded cheerfully. Ben smiled reluctantly in return.
