LH GROUP
“We are in unanimous decision to accept Lawrence Lockhart’s resignation,” Mr. Lee said, his expression unreadable.
Mr. Lee’s voice echoed in the opulent conference room, bouncing off the polished mahogany table., Silence, thick and heavy, followed his pronouncement. Unlike the usual murmur of agreement or polite disagreement, there was only the nervous clenching of fists and the rustle of expensive clothing.
The recent smuggling scandal has shaken the very foundation of LH Group. Stocks had plummeted, and whispers of panic danced on the tongues of every employee. Here, at the board table, the air was thick with a different kind of tension.
Lawrence Lockhart’s resignation, a carefully worded document delivered that very morning, lay splayed on the table like a discarded hand. It was a formality, a public acknowledgment of the inevitable. Yet, the weight of that resignation pressed down on each board member.
Mr. Anderson, a portly man with a perpetually worried expression, dabbed his forehead with a monogrammed handkerchief. Miss Paine, known for her sharp wit and sharper tongue, remained
uncharacteristically quiet, her gaze fixed on the intricate floral pattern of
the rug.
Across from them, Sofia Lockhart sat with a cold indifference that masked a simmering satisfaction. The public might see Lawrence’s departure as a noble sacrifice, but Sofia knew better.
It seems that now, the shareholders who were ever wary of scandal had lost all faith in their chosen successor.
At one point, Sofia wanted to laugh in their faces and tell them how foolish they had been to be fooled by Lawrence himself. However, wasn’t she just like them a couple of months ago?
A ghost of a smile played on Sofia’s lips as her gaze met Mr. Lee’s.
“While Mr. Lockhart’s resignation has been accepted,” he began, his voice measured, “we must address the issue of succession. The board previously expressed its interest in Mr. Lockhart assuming the chairmanship after… well, after recent events. However, the current
