Ivy sat forward looking straight at Cole, her aura was that of CEO as if he was below her in every way. "Also Cole please remember that I am the President of Hughes Investments, and acting CEO when my father isn't here. This company is owned by my father and it is my legacy. We will choose from now on which projects we back and which ones we drop. Today's meeting is just the start... And after all our company merger is ending soon." Ivy sat back and smiled.
Cole found himself humoured by the expression on her face, his sour mood becoming a bit better. She was confident and dominant in her own right, it instantly drew him towards her more and more. He realized then, he had undervalued her abilities.
His lips curved into a slight smirk as he spoke, "Above or below I don't mind which position we take Ivy."
