Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 62: First Day As A CEO

Natalie arrived at the office of her newly acquired company, her heels clicking sharply on the polished floor. The entire floor had been designated for the company’s operations, but it had the air of a place that had seen better days. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, a middle-aged man approached her in the reception area.

Dan Fletcher, one of the long-standing employees, had been appointed by her mother, Caryn, when she first started the company. He had remained loyal to Caryn all these years and was clearly waiting for Natalie’s arrival.

The receptionist, recognizing Natalie, quickly moved forward to greet her. "Ms. Ford, welcome to the company."

Natalie offered a light nod in return, acknowledging the greeting before turning her attention to Dan, who gestured for her to follow him. "Ms. Ford, let me show you to the office."

As they walked, Natalie inquired, "How many employees does the company currently have?"

"Around thirty," Dan replied, his tone hinting at the company’s struggles. "The business hasn’t been doing well lately, so..."

"I understand. I’ve reviewed the details you sent me," Natalie said, keeping her tone professional and calm.

They moved deeper into the main working area, a space divided into various sections for accounting, planning, and finance. Natalie’s presence immediately drew the attention of the employees.

They knew she was the new owner, but no one seemed particularly eager to welcome her. Instead, she could sense the weight of their judgment, the whispers and gossip about the "fallen" daughter of the Ford family hanging in the air.

Dan, sensing the tension, decided to address the room. "Everyone, please pay attention," he called out, prompting the employees to reluctantly stand and face them.

"This is our new CEO, Ms. Natalie Ford," Dan introduced her formally. "Her mother, Caryn Ford, was the founder of this company, and I believe Ms. Ford will lead us back to where we used to be. Just as her mother did. From now on, we’ll be following her lead."
