"Hired?" One of the shareholders caught what she said.
"How can eleven are enough for this project?" Another shareholder asked.
"I heard, Ms.Sky already completed the process and just presenting here. How can you carry out without our permission?"
"Do you think we are here for a show?"
.
.
They started to discuss and asked similar questions. Sky waited for them to stop but one of the shareholders asked, "Ms.Sky! Why aren't you talking?"
"I'm waiting for my turn. Carry on your discussion." Sky innocently said and checked her wristwatch.
"Chairman Harley, I'm sorry. I don't like to join the noise pollution. Since we still have an hour I will wait."
David's assistant almost laughed out and covered his face with a file. David's face turned red from controlling his laughter.
Arlo pursed his lips. Sky who saw their reaction found hard to control her smile so she added one more line, "Is it my turn now?"
The VP controlled himself and coughed lightly as the meeting hall was a little awkward.
David and around him were controlling hard not to laugh and towards the end of the table, shareholders were fuming but they couldn't rebuff as it was a fact.
Sky thanked them for her turn which made them turn green. She signaled Clara to put on another presentation she prepared beforehand and she walked around as she explained their plan.
Instead of presentation and what she said, Arlo was looking at her and he winked when Sky's eyes brushed him. She just paused for a second which was noticed by Arlo and David.
Then the latter saw Sky stomping on Arlo's feet purposefully as she moved ahead. It was his turn to cover his face with a file that Arlo noticed but didn't react.
Arlo was expecting more reaction. He wanted to know what she would do if she makes a mistake but she was out of his expectation.
At the end of her presentation, all were convinced by the plan and idea. But few hanged on 'Authority Consent'
"Ms.Sky! How can you start without our consent?"
Many glared at Sky demanding the response.
"If any projects fail even after your consent, Will you all take the responsibility?" A domineering tone sounded in the hall.
Nobody responded to Sky because they would never do that. She continued.
"So with or without consent, I'm the one who is responsible for it. Isn't it illogical for me to call for shareholders meeting which we have to notify a minimum 50 days prior? How can you expect me to waste fifty days for you just for three hours presentation and I eventually go with my plan?"
There was pin-drop silence and everyone's eyes were on overbearing Sky who was standing next to David. The latter looked prideful as his eyes brushed on everyone excluding Sky and Arlo.
Before anybody could pick on it, Sky continued.
"Emergency meetings? That is called when we face a crisis. And I can't ask my team to sit and prepare for meeting again and again if I plan something again next month."
Sky's aloof tone turned cold, "If anyone of you is ready to take responsibility for failure or problems, I will consider arranging the meetings every single time. So is there anybody brave enough to stand against me?"
Sky waited for a whole thirty seconds but no answer. She sat down and signaled David to conclude.
"Do anybody still have doubts on my dau... our President Harley? If anything, please go ahead."
The hareholders looked at each other and remained silent until somebody in the corner spoke, "If the project fails which Ms.Sky is already started without our consent, will she accept her incompetence and resign from CEO position?"
David clutched his fist but saw Sky smiling and swirling the pen on the table.
"Sure!"
David and Arlo straightened their back instantly thinking about what she was up to.
Sky continued, "If it is successful in the coming trimester, Mr.Fang! will you give your shares to me? All your shares." Sky lips curled up higher but it had no warmth as she raised her head and narrowed her eyes at Mr.Fang.
The shareholders next to him also shivered by seeing her eyes. Mr.Fang stuttered to finish, "I was just joking." He wanted to breathe but froze hearing her.
"But I'm not joking." Sky still couldn't understand why they still ask unreasonable questions.
Arlo and David admired her. Former would have kicked him out if he heard such a question but Sky easily managed to make him piss in his pants with just a few words.
"Mr.Fang! Should I arrange a shareholders meeting after the three months?" David purposefully asked.
Sky removed her gaze on him and passed few files in front of her to Arlo indicating she was done with their nonsense.
"If I hear such nonsense again, I will show what are the president's powers in the company. Try me to know your place." Her cold tone ended and she went towards the exit.
Arlo got up and whispered to David. The latter nodded in approval. He passed the files to Clara and followed Sky.
"President Harley, I'm sorry."
Sky had reached the door when she heard it. She paused but said to herself in a very low voice, "First time I have an urge to show a finger to somebody."
She made a tongue out and exited without turning or responding. Arlo who heard her was speechless because Mr.Fang was fifty+ years old man.
He only reacted after exiting the corridor and walked towards the elevator. He held her and pulled her to the fire exit before pressing her to the wall.
"What's wrong with you?" She couldn't understand why he loves to shock her all the time.
"I thought to give appreciation to my wife." He finished in his enticing tone and pressed his cold lips on hers.
His tone and place were enough to know what he was up to. He didn't deepen it and broke the kiss soon biting her lip. "Let's go."
Sky pouted as she followed him to the terrace without knowing why he was taking there. Seeing Sigma helicopter, she punched him.
"If your Air vehicles arrive here so often, All will think there is something between you and me. Are you planning to let others know?
