The Tycoon's Pawn

"Is there anything we can do to speed up the process?" Kiara asked, sitting up straighter. "Anything we can offer to resolve the issue?"

Lydia shook her head. "Not at this point. It's in the hands of the local authorities now. We're doing what we can, but this is going to take time."

Kiara let out a frustrated sigh. "Okay. Let's be proactive about this. We need to get ahead of the narrative before the investors start asking questions. I'll draft a statement outlining the issue and reassuring them that we've got it under control. We'll make it clear that this is just a minor delay and that the long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term inconvenience."

Lydia nodded, a hint of admiration in her eyes. "That's a good plan. I'll coordinate with the PR team to make sure everything's airtight."

"Good," Kiara said, her voice firm. "We can't let this derail us. The project is too important."
