Thinking quickly, Lilith put on a calm, reassuring smile. "Apologies, everyone. Mr. Carter isn't feeling well today; he's been running a fever but insisted on being here." Her smooth handling of the situation even surprised his assistant, who looked as stunned as everyone else.
The executives nodded in understanding, clearly impressed by her poise. Without missing a beat, she continued, "I'll take over for Mr. Carter." She dove right into the presentation, effortlessly shifting the focus. "Now, as for the software launch, we can gain a strategic edge if we prioritize…"
Her tone was polished and professional, leaving everyone in awe. The executives exchanged approving glances, clearly impressed by her knowledge and ability to handle everything.
