Chapter 1057: How does that feel, William?

"This board has decided. Mr. Atlas Bennet is..." Benjamin trailed off, his sharp eyes glinting before the corner of his mouth curled into a smirk. "... the new Chief Operating Officer of the Pierson Corporation. Congratulations and welcome to the Pierson Corporation, Mr. Bennet."

Zoren and Atlas smiled in satisfaction. This time, they couldn't hide it behind their stoic fronts. As both men rose from their seats, a soft applause erupted in the

room.

"Congratulations and welcome to the Pierson Corporation," Zoren greeted, offering his hand to Atlas, which the latter clasped tightly.

"Not nervous anymore?" Atlas teased, earning a chuckle from Zoren. "I'm looking forward to working with you, CEO Pierson."

Zoren flashed him a smile, and both of them released each other's hands. As soon as they did, part of the board and the shareholders approached them. The first ones to approach were the people who had wanted to give Atlas a chance.

"Congratulations, Mr. Bennet."

"Welcome to the Pierson Corporation. I hope you don't disappoint us and make us regret voting for you."

"If it's the chairwoman's recommendation, I'm certain she made the right decision."

Words of compliment, with a hint of warning and expectation, came Atlas's way. Either way, they showed great interest in this turn of events, knowing that it had always been Zoren handling two jobs at once.

Others who approached Zoren first also congratulated him. They also reminded him to take care of his health and expressed concern for his well-being.

"I hope that with Mr. Bennet here now, you'll be able to focus more on your health, CEO Pierson."

"Or at least, make the chairwoman happy," the elderly woman on the

shareholder's side leaned closer to Zoren and whispered, "With the promised quadruplets."

Zoren chuckled, nodding at the elderly woman before they both shifted their focus to the other man who had approached them.
