Progress Is Too Slow

The office door closed, leaving Joe alone in the spacious office. He walked to the French window, lit a cigarette, and gazed indifferently at the bustling street below. Thoughts of Cynthia came to his mind.

When Cynthia was by his side, he didn't need to face the challenges of the directors. No matter what happened to the company, she could always turn the tide at critical moments. She was like a powerful force, ensuring that Louise Corporation never fell into dire straits.

But ever since losing Cynthia, Louise Corporation faced consecutive setbacks—first losing the land in the south of the city, and now losing Mr. McNamara's investment. If this continued, Joe, as the new money of San Heith, would become a joke!
