The other faction supported Parker, the second-largest shareholder of the company.
"Charlie..." Mckenzie murmured. She was anxious.
Charlie smiled at his mother. He put his large palm on the back of his mother's hand, reassuring her that it was okay, don't be nervous, and just wait and see.
"Today, we will be electing a new president of the company. Here is the ballot box.
Whoever you support, just write his name on the paper and drop it in this box." The manager announced. He pointed to the box on the stage. "Not much else to say! Now we'll start voting!"
One by one, the shareholders went to the stage in the order of their seats and voted.
Mckenzie, of course, voted for Charlie, and she looked around anxiously. She was figuring in her mind how many people would support Charlie.
The whole process went very fast. The final result came out in just 20 minutes.
The manager had the final election result in his hand. Everyone was waiting.
"Now, let me announce the voting results. The one who won the highest approval rate is Mr. Turner, the second is Mr. Madison, and the third is Mr. Morgan.
The result was not surprising, as Parker had drawn a lot of people to his side in advance to be elected president. The election result was as expected.
Mckenzie's chest was heaving. She felt like there were thorns in her chair. She couldn't calm down.
Parker got what he wanted. He smirked at Charlie, obvious mockery in his eyes.
Charlie was indifferent. He took several sips of his coffee. Then he turned to his mother and said peacefully, "The meeting is over. Let's go."
His tone was nonchalant, without the slightest hint of emotion. As if he were saying it was a sunny day. There was no frustration or bitterness in his tone.
Everyone in the company was waiting for the result, and so was Bella.
Although that night in front of Grace, Charlie said those words to Bella, she...
When she saw Charlie and Mckenzie walking out, Bella soon walked up to them. She held Mckenzie's arm, an anxious look on her face, "Madam, how did it go?"
