The others visibly shook as they watched him remain silent once more. Him being silent is just the calm before the storm.
The person who was meant to give the financial report shook as he stared at Cole who didn't have any expression on his face. He gulped really hard before he mustered the courage to be able to read out the report.
During the course of his reading, Cole's aura dropped. The more he read, the more the atmosphere turned cold. Even Melvin was scared on what the outcome might be.
He only looked at the board of directors who were already shifting uncomfortably in their seats and he silently lit a candle for them. Their end was expected.
"This is what you have to say?" Cole spoke up after the financial director finished reporting.
"Y-yes,"he stuttered as his legs shook.
"You are telling me that this is what you have to report?" Cole asked one more time as he spun the pen in his hands while staring directly at him.
