The congratulatory greetings to Atlas came nonstop as he shook hands with each person. Even those who hadn't voted for him had to smile and offer him flowery words. After the routine of handshakes, Benjamin announced the date when Atlas would officially take his seat, and everyone responded with kind applause.
As for William, he had to sit there and watch it all unfold while seething with anger.
"Again, congratulations to the new member of this board, Mr. Atlas Bennet," Benjamin flashed Atlas a smile while the applause continued. "We are all delighted to have you here."
Having said that, Zoren gave his closing remarks. Standing from his seat, he provided a brief overview of what everyone should expect in the coming days, earning everyone's approval.
And just like that, the meeting concluded.
