The Carmichael Group's conference room was shrouded in tense silence.
All the senior executives fixed their eyes on Raymond, who sat at the head of the table reviewing the proposal. No one even dared to breathe too loudly, each one secretly wishing they could crawl under the table and vanish-anything to avoid being the first in line for criticism.
For them, every meeting felt like a grueling ordeal.
