Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 10- New CEO

"Good morning, Miss Lora." The staff greeted Lora warmly.

"Good morning," Lora responded with a smile.

Lora arrived at the Davis & Co. company to take over from her father.

She wore a light blue feminine business suit with high heels. Her hair was left to flow down her shoulders, giving her a boss lady vibe.

"Miss Davis, you're needed in the conference room," her assistant, Hannah Collins, reported. She then moved closer and whispered, "All the board members are here and they don't look happy."

Lora frowned. She knew why they wanted to see her. How bold of them to show their disapproval of her on her first day of reporting.

"I knew this would happen, that's why I came prepared," she remarked and smirked. They wouldn't get rid of her that easily.

No offense, Mr Davis but your daughter came out of nowhere and you want her to take over the company? I know she's your family but aren't you being too careless? How can I be sure that my investment is safe in this company?" Lora had barely reached the door of the conference room when she heard someone say this.

It wasn't hard to tell from the voice, he was one of the board members, Craig Hendrix.

Inside the conference room, Jack Davis furrowed his eyebrows at the man's words. He was about to reply but Lora came in before he could.

"Good morning everyone. Hope I am not too late," Lora said with an air of confidence.

Seeing Lora walk in, Jack Davis smiled.
