Yolanda glanced at Walter Hudson, standing nearby. He was skinny, in a plain white shirt, with nothing special

about his looks.

“You, you’re my assistant from now on,” Yolanda said. “Go tell the other six Alex Wilsons there’s a meeting in ten minutes. If anyone skips it, just kick them out.”

With Leon Cole’s mess hanging over everyone, you had to be an idiot to act dumb now.

So, even if the execs didn’t have a clue what was going on, they still showed up in the office right on time.

Mary Hall had never been allowed to set foot in the meeting room before. The execs always made sure to exclude her when they had their meetings.

According to them, women belonged at home having babies–competing with men at work just made them look ridiculous.

Mary had endured this for thirteen years. Now, barely containing her excitement, she sat herself down at Yolanda’s left side.

The exec who was supposed to sit there frowned and scoffed quietly, “You really think just because she’s here, you get to move up? Mary, you’re way overestimating that bitch.”

They were only there because they didn’t want to cause any trouble, and since they still didn’t know what was really going on, they figured they’d just go along for now.

Yolanda settled into the center seat at the table, her gaze sweeping over the five male execs. Each wore a look of disdain, except for one whose emotions were hidden and impossible to read.

She smiled, straightened her back, and neatly tied her hair into a low ponytail.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Yolanda, and as of today, I’m officially taking over as CEO,” she said.

The five execs just smiled, not saying a word.

Mary bit her lip, her eyes red as she managed to choke out, “Welcome.”
