John opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt like he was drowning, unable to breathe. The room began to spin, and he gripped the edge of the table.“Monica…” John called at her but she ignored him."I don't think a vote is necessary," Scott interjected. "We all agree that this is the best course of action." Scott voiced out, to the surprise of John.The board members nodded in agreement, and John looked around the room, a sense of defeat settling over him. Monica smiled, a look of satisfaction on her face."Very well then, it's settled," she said. “John's assets will be seized in order to recoup the losses incurred by his actions."Monica nodded, her expression unreadable. "We will proceed in accordance with the decision of the board."As the board members applauded, John made his way to the exit, his shoulders sagging with defeat. He could feel the eyes of the board members on him as he left the room, and he wondered what they were thinking.“Give me a minute.” Moni

"I think it's time we remove John from his position," one of the board members said, and the others nodded in agreement. John shot a look of disgust at Missy, who had her head down, before turning to George, who was on the verge of tears."That audio is fake," John said calmly. "This is a setup.""Enough, John!" Scott said, his voice rising in anger. "You don't have the right to say anything!""You will not speak to me that way!" John yelled, his voice echoing through the room, making Missy flinch. The tension in the room was palpable, and the other board members shifted uneasily in their seats.John turned to look at Missy for what he was about to say."Missy," John called at her, his voice gentle but insistent. He turned to face her, and she slowly lifted her head, her eyes red and damp with tears. "Please," he pleaded. "Tell the board the truth. They won't believe me and it's obviously clear why, but they might believe you."Missy sniffed and swallowed hard, her body shaking with e

John looks around the room, trying to gather his thoughts. He knows that he has to be careful with his words, or he could be in even more trouble. Finally, he speaks. “I don't know where Monica got her information,” he says, “but I can assure you that it is not true. I have never embezzled any money, and I have never set up a fake charity organization. I am innocent of all the charges made against me.” Monica lets out a scoff and walks back to her seat, but Scott holds up his hand. "Please, let John speak," he says and Monica raises both of her hands in surrender.John takes a deep breath, his face still neutral and calm before he continues “I know that you must be confused,” he says. “I understand that the evidence looks bad, but I swear to you that I am innocent. I have always been a man of integrity, and I would never do anything to betray the trust of this company. I advise you to consider the evidence carefully, and to not rush to judgment.” The board members look at each other

The room was filled with a heavy silence as John struggled to process what he had just heard. He had never thought that his actions would be discovered, and he was caught completely off guard. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. The board members were waiting for him to say something, to defend himself, but he was lost for words. After what felt like an eternity, Scott finally spoke. “This is a very serious accusation," he said, his voice stern. “Do you have any proof to back up your claims?”“As I mentioned before, I have concrete proof of the transactions that I've mentioned. The records are available for you to examine, so you can see for yourself that what I'm saying is true. I have no interest in deceiving you or anyone else in this room. I'm simply trying to ensure that we make the best decision for the company.” Monica put forward with no regard for John's feelings, deliberately not staring at him.John stared at Monica, his mind reeling from the shock of her

John stood up slowly, facing Scott. Though they had seen each other just last weekend, John sensed something noticeable had changed. The two men's gazes locked, an intense silence hanging in the air. Scott finally broke the stalemate, speaking in a cheerful tone. '“John! My man! So good to see you!” pulling him into a warm short embrace.John exhaled, letting his shoulders relax as a smile spread across his face. “You're full of it, you know,” he retorted, “We were just together last Friday for drinks.” pulling away from the hug. “Yeah, but I still miss you!” Scott said with a laugh."John couldn't help but smile. “The feeling is mutual!" he said, trying to sound nonchalant despite the excitement bubbling up inside him. He pushed away the thought that had been nagging at him. Scott sat down next to John, then turned to him again. “By the way,” he said, “You never told me that Monica was in town. I thought she was still on vacation in Germany!” His tone was light, but there was an e

“Sir, we have a problem!” George uttered immediately.John felt a sudden throb of pain upon hearing George's words. Why did this problem have to come, especially after his conversation with Maya? He thought.“What seems to be the problem, George?!” John asked impatiently.“I'm sorry, but I can't give you any more information over the phone. It's important that we meet in person as soon as possible. The situation is very serious, and time is of the essence. You need to get here quickly.” John put forth in panic. One that John could evidently sense from his voice.“Okay, I'll be right there!” John announced as the call came to an end.John hurriedly got out of his car and rushed to the garage, grabbing some tools and returning to the driveway. He got rid of the nails as quickly as possible, then went back to the garage to get a different vehicle. He drove off at high speed, breaking a few traffic laws as he made his way to the office. Thirty minutes later, he pulled into the parking lot
