My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana looked around, and her demeanor had changed.

She said, “Finally, we know the agenda. Let’s make sure to include the agenda in the meeting invitations from now on, please.”

She added flippantly, “I keep getting meeting invites without agenda, and it irks the hell out of me. How should I figure out if it’s worth my time?”

“I have been ignoring all invites so far, but this time, I just wanted to come and clear things up.”

She cleared her throat and began, “Anyway, as I was saying – agenda!”

“There are two items here – the three failed projects and the losses associated with them. I will let Nathan clarify that. As shareholders, you ought to know what’s happening in the company. And let’s be frank here, it’s Nathan’s responsibility to ensure he is up to date about such critical projects and minimize the losses in time.”

“As a shareholder, I would like to know as well.”

“The other agenda is about Nathan’s responsibility to lead the company. While I think that should have come up after we had assessed the first point and reviewed RCAs from each project manager, it’s the shareholder’s right. No judgment there!”

“Mr. Cox and Mr. Windt, let’s be open here! Who do you think is better suited to lead the company, if not for Nathan?”

Jeremy Winston snorted, “Make sure to support your theory with proper arguments and proofs.”

Mr. Cox and Mr. Windt were in a bind.

Jonathan never talked during the meetings until the end. They had expected it to be the same.

They planned to sway the shareholder’s opinion and freeze him out for a few months.

They did not want to take over his responsibility. It was much easier to stay as a shareholder and count money. Besides, they did not doubt Jonathan’s ability to lead.

Neither could they place their sons or relatives in the position just like that.

But Liliana had ruined their plan. She had taken control and forced them into a corner.

Mr. Windt spluttered incoherently! “We did not want to replace President Smith. We just want him to be more careful.”

Liliana replied as if she only then grasped the situation, “Ah! I see! You only wanted to teach my husband a lesson. And here I was under the impression there was a reason for this meeting.”

Mr. Cox’s face went red.

He had never thought Jonathan’s wife would disrespect him so bluntly.

Mr. Windt swallowed his saliva. He was sweating profusely and downed half a bottle of water.

Liliana, however, was on a roll.

“Well! Never mind that! Since there is no agenda, let me hijack this one. Any problems?”

Everyone shook their heads.

She looked at Jonathan and said, “All yours, darling!”

Jonathan gawked at her. She had never called him “darling” in public before.

He hid his emotions and took up his phone.

“Vincent, come in!”

Before he had hung up the phone, Vincent and Alice came inside with a batch of files.

They distributed the files to everyone and left.

Everyone began to flip through the pages while Jonathan played with his wife’s fingers under the table.

For the next seven minutes, the only sounds in the room were rustles of pages getting flipped.

There were gasps and murmurs, which became louder by the minute before they stopped abruptly.

Jeremy Winston laughed out loud, and soon most people joined.

Mr. Cox and Mr. Windt, however, looked horrified.

Liliana added salt to their wounds, “If you had waited a few more days, this meeting wouldn’t be required. However, it was nice to meet everyone.”

“And like NUncle Winston said – let’s make it the golf club next time.”

Mr. Cox asked tremblingly, “How?”

Jonathan cocked his head, “Why? Mr. Cox, you don’t sound happy.”

Jeremy Winston snorted, “And Windt looks like he is about to piss his pants. Do you want a toilet break?”

Everyone at the table laughed!

Liliana, however, stared at them coldly.

Ultimately, Mr. Windt excused himself and dashed to the bathroom.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

It caused more laughter while Mr. Cox looked like he had lost his soul.
