Chapter 59: New Contracts for All

Finishing her speech, Eleanor stepped down from the podium and returned to her seat. The employees watched her in stunned silence as Teresa Li walked up to the podium, wearing a professional smile.

"Everyone, please remain seated," Teresa announced. "The Chairman will now leave, but our legal team will arrive shortly. Each of you will have the opportunity to sign a new employment agreement, reflecting updated salaries, benefits, and responsibilities. If you have any questions, you may address them directly to our legal team. Thank you."

She paused for a moment, letting the words settle, before adding with a small grin, "NexaByte, welcome to Heimdall."

After saying that, she walked toward Eleanor, glanced briefly at her phone, and said in a low voice, "Boss, we’re ready to go."

Eleanor stood up gracefully, her calm gaze sweeping across the employees one last time before she began walking out of the conference room. Teresa, Joseph, Ava, and the other directors followed closely behind her.

Just as Eleanor was about to leave through the main door, Daan Hendriks, who had been battling with a growing sense of panic, suddenly stood up from his seat. Without thinking, he rushed towards the door, only to be stopped abruptly by two bodyguards standing like statues.

"Please, I need to speak with the Chairman! It’s an urgent matter! Please let me pass!" he pleaded, desperation thick in his voice.

But the guards remained unmoved. They had clear instructions: without Ava Martin’s permission, no one was allowed to leave the conference room.

By then, Eleanor and her group had already walked a fair distance away. However, her super-sensitive hearing caught the commotion behind. Out of curiosity, she paused and turned slightly to look back.

Everyone behind her stopped as well, their eyes naturally following her line of sight. They saw Daan frantically trying to reason with the guards, his face filled with anxiety.

A flash of memory passed through Eleanor’s mind. She recognized Daan, he was the man who had been with Willow White at the Louis Vuitton store during the embarrassing incident.
