Miguel stood up, towering over the table, his gaze never leaving Jordan's. "I will not be approving this merger. Not today. Not until I've reviewed every last detail myself."
The gasps that followed were audible, the other board members exchanging nervous glances. Jordan, for the first time, looked uncertain.

"I've made my decision," Miguel interrupted firmly. "This meeting is over."
