Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1261 âYeah, weâ re eager to watch how youâre going to turn things around.â
âCan you tell us what youâll be revealing this evening? Weâre already not in the mood to work hard.â
With all these arguments going on in the meeting room, Catherine was at a loss for words.
This was quite different from her expectations. She thought that these executives would, to a certain extent, blame her.
Who knew the situation would turn out to be more like a press conference thatâs filled with paparazzi?
She clenched her fists, coughing lightly. âCan all of you behave yourselves? Weâre supposed to discuss matters related to the company during the meeting instead of my private affairs.â
General Manager Wolfe said with a grin, âWe canât help ourselves. Almost everyone in Australia is talking about the love triangle youâre involved in.
Everyoneâs saying that your love life can be turned into a romance movie thatâs full of ups and downs.â
âExactly. A well-known writer contacted me this morning, saying that heâd like to have a brief interview with you. He wants to write about your story and turn it into a novel.â
âMy friends who know that I work in Hudson came to me to ask about you too. Theyâre really curious about the big news youâll be revealing this evening.â
âSame here. Everyoneâs discussing this in my WhatsApp groups.â
âThe producers of a variety show would also like to invite you over. They said that youâre now even more popular than those celebrities with huge fan bases.â
âThe public just wants to find out whether youâre set on being with Shaun forever.â
Catherine was speechless.
While momentarily dazed, she wondered if she was hosting a press conference right now.
When in fact, it was the companyâs annual general meeting.
âEnough. Letâs get back to business, alright?â
Catherine directly stood up and raised her hand to calm everyone. âWell, if weâre still not doing well with the houses, we can consider reducing the prices. Although we might earn less that way, I plan to put together some funds and have Hudson venture into the tourism industry in the future.â
âTourism industry? Sounds great.â
A manager approved of her idea, saying, â Chairwoman Jones, if youâre planning to develop the tourism industry, Iâm sure you can attract many peopleâs attention considering your impressive reputation at this point.â
âYup. Regardless of the unfavorable news, I believe youâll soon be able to expose Wesleyâs true colors.
â
âYou can attend a variety show and promote our company when the time comes.â
âYou can also promote it in your autobiographical romance novel.â
âItâll surely be a hit.â
Catherine did not know what else to say.
She felt disinclined to carry on with the meeting, given that the executives in this room were completely seeing eye to eye with her.
There was nobody singing a different tune, was there?
She kind of missed how those shareholders had kept turning against her back then.
When Catherine finally got back to her office, she was so exhausted that she felt as if she had just participated in a large press conference. âchairwoman Jones, why are you choosing to develop the tourism industry all of a sudden? Iâve never heard you mention it. When did you decide on it?â At last, General Manager Wolfe raised a proper question.
Catherine sipped on her coffee. âI decided on it when I was on my way here.â
General Manager Wolfe went quiet.
Catherineâs random yet determined behavior left him speechless.
âI always had this idea, but I just hadnât made up my mind. This morning, I heard my dad recounting my momâs past. I want to be resolute like my mom.â Catherineâs eyes narrowed. She wanted to honor Sheryl and realize her unfulfilled ambitions.
