"Finnick, what on earth is going on?"
"Exactly! Do you know how much our stock price fell within this short frame of time?"
"If only one or two of the client's information was leaked, we could close one eye about it. How could all their information be leaked?"
As Finnick walked to the podium at the front of the meeting room, everyone began to quieten down. After there was silence, he spoke, "First, I want to confess that I was the one who divulged the news. For that, I would like to apologize."
Once he finished, the directors began to complain again.
"Finnick, what is the meaning of that? Are you the only person running the company? That is
absurd!"
Another director stated, "What were you trying to do? If you want to dig your own grave, you can't pull us down together!"
"Finnick, you have to give us an explanation."
Some also complained, "Do you know that the lawyers' letters sent to our company are piling up? As the president, how can you do that?"
Everyone could not hold back their anger and were wagging their fingers at Finnick. Of course, they had their own suspicions about who was responsible for the news, but they did not expect Finnick to be the person behind it.
"I can't tell everyone the details, but I can assure all of you that I will turn things around. Please give me some time." Since it was his fault, Finnick could only patiently apologize to the board of
directors.
Although they were enraged, Finnick was still the biggest shareholder of the company. Even if the directors added their shares together, Finnick's was still more than theirs. Therefore, they could not do anything to him.
Finnick repeatedly guaranteed and reassured the board of directors through the long and meaningless argument before the people started leaving.
