Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

Chapter 9: Conference Meeting 2

The conference room was spacious, sleek, and intimidatingly modern. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the glossy table where the key executives sat.

A large screen was set up at the front of the room, displaying the waiting investors from Singapore.

Stefan sat at the head of the table, his presence commanding as ever. His fingers rested lightly on the armrest of his chair, his posture relaxed but alert.

Ruby sat beside him, keeping her expression neutral despite the nervous energy simmering beneath the surface.

She hadn’t expected to be involved in actual business discussions today. But now, here she was, seated beside Stefan as though she belonged there. And in a way, she did. She was his wife, after all.

The meeting started smoothly enough. Oliver led the introductions, and the investors, a group of three men and one woman, exchanged pleasantries with Stefan.

"Mr. Winters, we appreciate you taking the time to meet with us despite your recent nuptials," said Mr. Lau, the senior representative.

"Business doesn’t wait," Stefan replied smoothly. "Let’s get to it."

The investors launched into their concerns. Market volatility, projected returns, and hesitation over the expansion plans. Stefan countered each point with calculated precision, his voice steady and authoritative.

Ruby watched in admiration. He might be blind, but he was in complete control, responding to data and figures as if he could see them laid out in front of him.
