“Who else but Jared Chance! He suddenly behaved like a mad man and even plopped himself down in the chairman's seat!” Zayne blustered while pointing at Jared.
Josephine turned toward Jared, only to see him grinning back at her.
“You said he has lost his mind? Gone crazy?
Zayne nodded. “Yes. I was actually about to fire him earlier. That might have been what triggered the change in his behavior.”
However, as soon as the words left Zayne's mouth, Josephine slapped him hard across his face.
“I think the one who has lost his mind is you!” she bellowed before walking up to take a seat beside Jared.
Shocked by the sudden turn of events, everyone in the room stared wide-eyed at Josephine and Jared.
Zayne, too, had frozen with horror.
“Everyone, this is your new chairman, Mr. Chance,” Josephine calmly announced. “I've stepped down from my position and handed the reins over to him. With his guidance and leadership, I have faith that the company will reach even greater heights.”
Mr. Chance? Jared's the new chairman?
Stunned silence befell the room as everyone from the sales department couldn't believe what they had just heard.
When he saw Jared still smiling at him, Zayne went weak in the knees and collapsed in a heap.
An ashen-faced Lydia struggled to find words, but alas, all she could feel was fear gripping her throat.
Similarly, Maria was motionless as she continued to fix Jared with a blank stare.
Hilda, however, suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes. She finally realized that the woman, who had been ferrying Jared around, was none other than Josephine Sullivan.
It was clear to see that she and Josephine were worlds apart, which only intensified the piercing pain in her heart.
