Her plan was to subtly emphasize the potential risks and drawbacks of lifting the ban, while still appearing to present the request fairly.Vera intended to include data and case studies that highlighted past instances where similar moves had backfired, leading to financial losses and damage to the company's reputation. Additionally, she planned to suggest that a thorough market analysis be conducted before making any decisions, buying Franklin more time to addres

Daisy was agape when she spotted Franklin comfortably seated and watching TV in the CEO suite. Her emotions were a whirlwind of surprise and confusion.Franklin was the last person she expected to see there. She was flustered and struggled to find the right words to say to him.
