Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.
Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.
The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.
On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.
They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.
Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"
One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here."
"That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."
Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares."
"Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs."
"This is simple. I'll hire professionals to manage the company. There's no need to elect another CEO because Timothy will regain consciousness soon," Mia asserted.
The board of directors was not satisfied with her suggestion.
She knew their hidden motive, but she would not let them have their way.
"Ms. Lane, it's not that we're unwilling to accept your suggestion, but professionals are not as reliable as family. The project that my son developed at the technical department is viral now. He's also one of the Barretts, so he can surely manage the company well on behalf of Mr. Barrett."
Right then, Sage stood up and said, "Is he that idiot who amended the program without permission and caused the bug that delayed the project for six months while we tried to fix the problem?"
