After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#104 “Failure is not An Option.”

The boardroom at Enlighten Press was an opulent space with a long mahogany table, surrounded by high-backed leather chairs, which served as the stage for an intense exchange. Megan Sterling, the poised heiress apparent, found herself under the scrutinizing gaze of the board members.

They were full of skepticism and concern, questioning her recent decision to sign the bet-on agreement with Michael Bayell, a move that had sent ripples of doubt through the company and its investors.

Rachel Townsend, a seasoned board member with piercing eyes, wasted no time cutting to the heart of the matter. “Megan, we need assurances. What guarantees do we have that you’ll meet the performance targets outlined in the agreement?”

Seated at the head of the table, Megan maintained a calm exterior. “I have a strategic plan in place. Enlighten Press is my priority, and I’m fully committed to its success.”

Jonathan Turner, a voice of reason with a hint of skepticism, pressed on, ” Recent tabloid reports suggest financial instability. How do you address those concerns, Megan?”

Megan’s jaw tensed as she countered, ” Those reports are baseless. The company is financially sound, and we have upcoming projects that will secure our growth.”

Isabel Ramirez chimed in, “Forgive us if we find it hard to believe, Megan. The media is questioning not just the company’s stability but your ability to lead.”

Megan cleared her throat and tried again to deflate the situation. “As I already said I am dedicated to the success of Enlighten Press.”

Gregory Mitchell, an unmoved skeptic, voiced the concern on everyone’s mind. “Commitment alone won’t suffice. We need tangible results. What happens if you fail?”
