Richard Smith noticed the two empty seats and asked, "Mr. Carter, is someone missing? The two seats here..."
Seats were normally arranged based on the number of attendees, and the two extra seats implied that there would be new members joining. New members meant new changes.
Frank smiled optimistically.
"Let the media in." He said to the secretary.
"Yep." The secretary hurried away.
No one knew what he was plotting about. They waited patiently.
Frank took his time and glanced around with a victorious look on his face. He cleared his throat and said with excitement. "Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. We have two new members joining us, Spencer Davidson of Davidson Group and Steve Walken of Walken Cooperation. They each own 1.5% of the shares."
Excitement exploded amongst the shareholders. It was possibly the best news that could ever happen to their company.
