Chapter 108

• Below the boardroom windows, I was busy overseeing the latest acquisition strategy when I noticed Vivian approaching, her team trailing behind her. The sight of her gave me pause what was she doing there?
• "Vivian, what are you doing?" I asked, my voice sharp with disbelief. "The CEO gave clear instructions for you to stay focused on the R&D unit with Director Murray. This isn’t your department!"
• Her response was immediate, her eyes gleaming with ambition. "I told you, I’m here to help you gain more market share. Securing this merger is a major win, and I’m not going to let you and Cassandra take all the credit. When we present to the board and the investors, I’ll make sure they know I was front and center."
