Chapter 48: New Boss

  Oliver's POV

  The anger and the helplessness of knowing her back was against the wall showed themselves on Cecil's face. This was business and not a personal affair. Ela was a very business-minded person and kept everything professional. It was a show of respect to everyone seated, but Cecil didn't care about how she looked.

  She turned to me a few times, but I could do nothing. If I were to rise, Lewys would have attacked me, and I also didn't want to get up. Ela was offering to buy Stop, and in so doing, I wouldn't lose my investment. This was a win for everyone, including Cecil, but she didn't see that.

  Getting fired on the spot made things worse.

  The security team marched in and came to lead her out, and Ela followed them. I followed, 

  "You think this is the end?" she demanded as soon as they were out. "You think you are just going to come here and take everything away from me?"
