Love Unspoken

A heavy silence permeated the room, the air thick with unvoiced tension.

Wayne, his brow furrowed in displeasure, addressed the man at the head of the table. "You've arrived late even for a shareholders' meeting, Alexander. Do you truly believe you still hold the right to that seat?" Alexander swiveled his head to meet Wayne's gaze. "The meeting was scheduled for half past nine, and it's merely nine now. Is that considered tardy?""Everyone else has arrived. Are we expected to delay proceedings solely for your convenience?""So, you've begun in my absence?"

Alexander retorted with a cool indifference. "Proceed, then. Where did you pause? Voting, wasn't it? As a shareholder, am I not entitled to cast my vote?"Wayne didn't mince his words. "Didn't you resign? We're in the midst of choosing a new CEO. Since you've graced us with your presence, feel free to voice your opinion."His next words were a clear indication of the result. "Regardless, the voting is concluded. Even with your vote, the tally stands at seven to six." Alexander fell into a brief silence before a chuckle escaped his lips. His laughter, in such a tense situation, seemed inconceivable to the others. With a casual wave of his hand, Alexander signaled Kyle Astor, who promptly understood and brought forth a document.

Alexander tossed it onto the table with a declarative statement. "Then, it's time I exercised my rights.""According to the bylaws, ownership of more than 34% grants veto power. Regrettably, I've just surpassed that threshold with 35%. Consequently, I declare your vote null and void."

The announcement incited an uproar amongst the shareholders, with Wayne being the most affected."How...how is this possible?"
