The voting began in the conference room.
Evan Palmer sat at the head of the conference table, observing everyone's expressions.
His face slightly flushed, a sign of pride from controlling the situation.
After seeing the result, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he glanced at Emily Parker with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if to say,
"What other tricks do you have?"
"12:1, the minority yields to the majority, Manager Parker, you have nothing to say now, do you?"
Evan Palmer's voice carried a hint of complacency, with a slight lilt at the end.
Emily Parker sat on Evan Palmer's right, having long anticipated this outcome.
Evan Palmer had been controlling the Carter Clan for years, and nine out of ten department managers were his people.
In the conference room, only Evan Palmer's voice echoed. Emily Parker's gaze swept across those department managers, their faces showing subtle or obvious ingratiation, their eyes flashing with awe for Evan Palmer.
