Chapter 60:

“Good morning, Miss Holland.”

Corrine offered a brief nod, her tone calm but authoritative.

“Since everyone is here, let’s get started.”

The meeting began, and it didn’t take long for tensions to surface. Some of the board members seemed determined to test Corrine, some even using the opportunity to subtly challenge her authority.

But Corrine wasn’t easily rattled. With razor-sharp insight, she not only identified several long-standing issues within the company but also proposed practical solutions to address them. Her poise and decisiveness silenced even her harshest critics, gradually earning the room’s respect.

By the end of the meeting, it was clear that Corrine wasn’t just a figurehead; she had the skills and determination to lead.

As the discussions wound down, the head of the planning department approached, handing over a document for review. Meanwhile, Natasha displayed information about the proposed spokesperson on the screen. The moment the PowerPoint presentation appeared, Leah’s smiling face lit up the screen.

The head of the department rose to provide an analysis of Leah’s profile.

“Leah has maintained an impeccable reputation. From her time abroad to her recent endeavors back home, her popularity has continued to soar. Considering that our new hotel’s target audience skews younger, she’s an ideal choice for the campaign. What’s more, rumor has it she’s about to get engaged to the CEO of Ashton Group.”

With a distant gaze, Corrine observed the screen, her eyes hinting at a fleeting coldness. She only partly listened to the department head, her ears picking up on his mention of Leah’s impending engagement to the Ashton Group’s CEO.

These two seemed eager to forge ahead, didn’t they?

Despite expecting a heart-wrenching pain at such news, Corrine was surprised to find the pain less sharp than anticipated. It wasn’t because she had moved on quickly; rather, it was because of Nate’s overwhelming influence since his sudden arrival in her life. Nate’s commanding aura had eclipsed all else, sparing her from sinking into sorrow.

Once the department head finished, Corrine faced him with poised assurance, her tone firm.

“We require a spokesperson who embodies our brand, not merely a celebrity with fleeting popularity. Please have the departments reassess the candidates.”

It was clear she did not consider Leah a fit for endorsing their hotel.

“Of course, Miss Holland,” the department head replied, slumping back into his chair, looking completely deflated.

A moment later, a project manager stood up slowly, choosing his words with care.

“Miss Holland, I have a proposal for acquiring land in the city’s old southern district.” That particular district…

As she mulled over this, Corrine absently played with a pen, focusing on the project manager’s detailed briefing.

“Who are our main competitors for this?”

“From what I’ve gathered, the most formidable contenders are Brighton Group and Ashton Group.”
