My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Chapter 294 The shareholder’s meeting – 2



All the shareholders knew that Jonathan had brought his wife to the meeting.

They couldn’t understand why he would bring his much-richer wife to a meeting where he would most certainly get questioned and admonished.

Mr. Cox and Mr. Windt, however, were drunk in their victory. They thought he had brought his wife for support because he was afraid of being pushed out. With that thought in mind, they swaggered inside even more pompously.

Soon everyone settled down, and the meeting officially started.

Jonathan sat at the head of the table as usual. However, this time, he shifted his chair to the side and added another chair for Liliana.

Liliana smiled at him and took the seat unhesitatingly. She passed a cursory glance across the room and scanned all faces fleetingly.

She gave a slight nod and smiled at Mr. Jeremy Winston. He beamed at her instead and winked.

Jonathan looked at him with raised eyebrows. ‘Had he figured something out?’

However, he looked away and gestured at everyone to speak. Liliana held his hand below the table and drew circles on his palm.

One of the shareholders spoke up, “Mrs. Petrova-Smith, it’s good to see you in person in the company. I hope you will join more of our meetings.”

His statement left everyone speechless. That was not the purpose of the meeting.

Liliana’s eyes twinkled as she laughed.

“Why? Thank you, Mr. Cooper! I was afraid I would intrude and cause unnecessary distractions. I am flattered!”

Mr. Cooper blushed. He had not expected her to know his name.

Another shareholder added, “Ah! Young Blood! It’s the first time you have spoken without being explicitly asked, Cooper. I see you were saving your breath to welcome the lady boss.”

Liliana shook her head.

He looked at Liliana and added, “Welcome, Mrs. Smith! I hope you will stay.”

She replied with a polite smile, “Of course!”

Jeremy Winston intervened before everyone could welcome her personally. They were all busy.

“Let’s get started. Windt, why have you called us again? If you miss us, try changing the venue to golf clubs!”

Liliana had to hide her smile.

Mr. Windt was embarrassed at being mocked. He braved it and spoke.

“Mrs. Smith, it’s good to see you here. We never knew you existed all these years, so please forgive us if our hospitality has been lacking. Having said that! Wouldn’t you be more comfortable resting in the CEO’s office?”

He gestured around him and said, “This is just a boring shareholder’s meeting.”

Liliana replied politely, “Thank you for being so considerate, Mr. Windt. However, I would have been more comfortable at home. But I received a notice about the meeting. I couldn’t ignore it every time without it seeming disrespectful.”

Mr. Windt’s smile fell. Mr. Cox cleared his throat to change the topic.

Mr. Windt smiled and added, “Well, President Smith, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our share prices have fallen drastically. It’s the lowest it has been in the last three years.”

Another shareholder snorted, “I wouldn’t call it news. We are all shareholders, and we all know. We always know when the price fluctuates.”

Mr. Cox added, “That may be the case, but some of us have more to lose. I dare say it keeps me awake at night.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Mr. Windt coughed before anyone could retort to that and added, “The news of those three project failures and more than five billion in losses is floating around the industry. The Analysts are predicting that our capital chain will break soon.”

Liliana yawned visibly, and everyone gawked at her.

She lazily asked, “Is there an actual agenda? We are all busy people here. Let’s skip to the good part, shall we?”

Jonathan had to bite the inside of his mouth to stop himself from laughing.

Liliana pinched his thighs under the table.
