The previous night, Franklin had instructed his secretary, Vera, to ensure that his uncle, Mr. Stephen, did not lift the ban on their partnership deal with other companies.Vera had already been devising a plan to follow through on Franklin's request.Mr. Stephen had asked Vera to draft a memo to the board, proposing a temporary lift of the policy restricting partnerships with outside companies and online influencers.This memo would be crucial in influencing the board's decision, so she decided to take a strategic approach. 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.
