It's been a long road and long weeks since Marion's passing, and every day I face a new challenge in navigating his vast, complicated business.
Some of his old associates still doubted my ability to lead the company and It was becoming borderline annoying.
I could feel their skepticism in every boardroom meeting, every sideways glance in the corridor.
But I'm determined to prove them wrong, and, more than that, to make Marion proud and myself proud.
This morning, I walked into a meeting with several shareholders in Malström Enterprises.
I could sense the tension as I took my seat at the long conference table.
One of the older men, Mr. Eriksson, leaned over, not even giving me time to balance and said in a low tone, "Ms. Selena, you know I keep thinking about this often."
I let out an inaudible sigh, knowing exactly where this was headed.
"Please, enlighten me, Mr. Eriksson."
