The person who had once said his prospects were limitless and that he would lead the River Clan to new heights now looked at him expressionlessly, his words ice-cold, "With these problems arising in the company, as the President and person in charge of the project, you bear an inescapable responsibility. After our unanimous decision, if you are still unable to resolve the current issues in a month, then I am sorry, we will have to temporarily relieve you of your presidential duties."
George River tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling powerless yet furious, but in the end, he could only say, "I understand."
The meeting was adjourned.
Everyone left, but the pressure and doubt they brought lingered like shadows.
George River's situation was not good, and as his partner, Jimmy Simmons was not much better off.
Though he too was restrained within the company, he still possessed a certain amount of power.
