The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 541 Maintaining His Dignity

**Across the Ocean**

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the spacious office.

A luxurious glass cup shattered on the floor, coffee splattering everywhere, releasing a rich aroma.

But now, the atmosphere in the office was tense to the extreme. No one paid attention to the broken glass or the coffee stains; all eyes were fixed on the furious CEO. His face was ashen, fists clenched, clearly suppressing immense anger.

"If this project fails again, you're all fired!" He barked coldly, his gaze sharp as a hawk's.

"Sir, please calm down. We're doing our best to fix it," the secretary stammered, trembling.

"This is your best effort? $420,000, all lost on a small music festival. How much more do you expect me to spend on celebrity guests? How much more face do you think I have?"

The secretary's forehead was sweating, his voice shaking.

"We've contacted several sponsors. If not, we could ask Ms. Gonzalez to shoot..." Before the secretary could finish, a voice as cold as ice cut through the tension, instantly heightening the awkward atmosphere.

"I'm not shooting."

Everyone turned to look in the same direction.

"Besides, relying on personal favors is unreliable. Father, if you stop obsessing over your reputation and blaming your subordinates, I think we can find a solution."
