Who is it going to be?

Monday morning dawned with a heavy sense of anticipation. The Sterling Corporation shareholders meeting was scheduled to take place in just a few hours, and the stakes had never been higher. The tension was palpable as shareholders from various corners of the city made their way to the Sterling headquarters. It wasn't just the future of the company on the line; it was their investments, their legacies, and for many, their personal wealth that hung in the balance.

Inside the Sterling old house, Roman Sterling was a restless storm, pacing back and forth across the grand hall with a fury that was rarely seen. His usually composed demeanor was shattered, replaced by frustration and worry that etched deep lines into his face.
