"How was the board meeting?"
He asked while pruning his bonsai tree, but his secretary didn't answer his question. He put down his pruning shears and looked at his secretary who was standing straight next to the garden table with an apologetic face.
"Lemoto-san, I'm asking you a question."
Hearing his stern voice, his secretary went pale.
"Uhm... Hasegawa-sama…"
He walked to the garden table and sat down on one of its chairs. Seeing the expression of his secretary meant bad news. But then, what's the worst thing that could happen other than having his own son, be declared as the new CEO of the company he built from his tears and blood?
He poured himself a cup of tea, waiting for the report of his secretary.
"The new CEO was unanimously decided by the board. It is your son-in-law."
