+8 Pearts

The moment I made my decision public, swarms of reporters descended upon the Southwell Tower.

Afraid of missing breaking news, they surged forward as soon as they saw me stepping out with the employees who had chosen to leave with me. Cameras dashed, and microphones were thrust in my face as they bombarded me with questions,

“Mr. Irving, is it true that you’ve officially severed ties with the Southwell Group? Are you planning to strike out on your own and completely cut yourself oll from the Southwells?”

Furthermore, I am announcing the official launch of VistaGlobal Group. I look forward to working with you all.”

With that, I strode out through the front gates, leading my team in an impressive departure.
