Impressed
The board meeting ended in a peaceful manner. Before leaving, Carla gave Kallum some assurance to pacify him.
His pride restored, Kallum strode off.
After the meeting, Jamal and Thompson came to the president's office to talk to Carla.
She was busy signing some documents. "Mr. Domitos, Mr. Thompson, you're here!" She looked up briefly to greet them.
"Give us three minutes to talk to you, " requested Jamal with a pleasant smile.
"All right. Take a seat. I'll be with you right after I finish signing these documents."
Carla returned to her work, while Freda ushered them to their seats and prepared hot tea for them.
Mosa soon came in with more documents, but Carla put her pen down and pinched the bridge of her nose. "These shall wait. I need to talk to Mr. Domitos and Mr. Thompson."
"Sure!" Mosa got her a cup of coffee.
Taking her seat on the couch, Carla flashed a shy smile. "I'm sorry. It's been pretty busy lately…"
"Thank you, " Thompson said apologetically. "I've always thought of you as a young lady, but you changed my mind today."
"Yes. Back when I was a secretary at level 68, you were totally different, " Jamal remarked.
"Pfft!" A crimson red crept up Carla's cheeks. "Did you drink the chip placed accidentally in your cup?" she joked.
Jamal laughed heartily at her joke, and Thompson soon joined in.
This was the first time they had laughed after what happened back at Southridge.
Today, they had won the battle, and it was a good start.
They had to deal with the internal threat first before focusing on the external threat.
Now that the internal conflict had been resolved, they could focus on their rivals.
"Actually, I knew that all along, but I never got the chance to show it. Now that I think of it, Daemon has protected me too well. He taught me a lot but never gave me the chance to face difficulties alone, " Carla lamented.
"Daemon is a business whiz. He taught you well." Jamal gave his honest opinion.
"That was my first experience dealing with such a problem, " Carla revealed with a grin. "I only used a basic trick and resolved the problem easily. It proves that the board members didn't want to kick up a fuss. They only wanted to know my attitude and determination."
"You're right." Thompson was pleased. "Though they tried to put you in a tight spot, they are loyal to Giblo Group. After all, they used to work for Mr. Jombo. Back when Mr. Jombo got sick, he had eliminated those questionable employees. He also did a cleanup when Mr. Zayn got sick, too. The ones left behind don't have any outstanding issues, including Kallum. He may be reckless and competitive, but there's nothing wrong with his character. I was worried you'd unleash a killing spree, but you surprised me with your decision and vision. I must say I'm impressed!"
Carla chuckled. "I'm not the same now. Don't worry. There are more surprises to come."
"Thank you. Thank you so much!" Though Thompson had a lot in mind, he could only express his gratitude.
"I'm here at Divine Corporation, so you don't have to worry, " Jamal said. "Though we've gained their support, you need to be extra careful in some matters. We'll always be here if you need us."
"Thank you!" Carla nodded gratefully. "Let's work hard to overcome this obstacle."
"Yes, let's do that." Thompson and Jamal bobbed their heads in agreement. "We'll leave you to your work now."
After leaving her office, they shared a smiling look before sighing in relief.
