She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Iker Actually Likes Romance Novels

At the conference room of the Foley Group, it was now as noisy as a marketplace, with shareholders whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

"Why hasn't Mr. Foley arrived yet?"

"I don't know. This is the second time this month he's been late. What is Kelvin up to?"

"It seems like Cody hasn't shown up today either! Could there be some secret clash going on between them? Cody doesn't strike me as the type to willingly step back."

"That old man is shrewd and waiting for something to happen. This will surely be an interesting show."

"What a waste of my time! Kelvin suddenly announced a shareholder meeting this morning, causing me to leave the house wearing the wrong shoes."

And now Kelvin himself hadn't even shown up.

The discontent in the room grew louder and even employees working outside began to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.

If this were in the past, who would dare be distracted during work hours? They might not even want their jobs anymore.

The door to the conference room slowly opened and Chris' tall figure appeared before everyone else's eyes, instantly silencing all noise inside.

Everyone unconsciously looked towards him at once as he walked in wearing his unchanging black suit with slicked-back hair while holding a folder of documents.

Chris walked in behind him with a woman by his side wearing a well-tailored white suit jacket over her bright pink V-neck shirt that matched her white pencil skirt and nude stockings perfectly paired with silver high heels that gave off an air of professionalism about her appearance.

The company employees had all seen Abbie before, but she used to dress like a noble lady without any special features that made people think she was pretty. As for the reason why Mr. Foley seemed drawn towards her, they just thought the tastes of successful men tend to be rather unique.

However, today she had suddenly changed her style; she wore heavy makeup on her face which made it seem like she had finally embraced fashionably sexy intellectual beauty which suited her quite well.

But wasn't Miss Berry supposed to be studying ballet? Why did she dress up like this when coming into the conference room?

Chris gestured for Abbie to sit on Cody's seat on left side which no one dared take even if Cody didn't come into office that day because it belonged solely to him

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Abbie took a seat in Cody's place. Her legs naturally closed together, and her gentle hands were neatly folded on her lap, her back straight.

No wonder she had a ballet background. Even her sitting posture was perfectly graceful, exuding an innate elegance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I could have your attention, please," Abbie spoke. "I'm here to announce two important matters that concern the future development of the Foley Group. I kindly ask all the board members for your cooperation."

Chris was not as important as the other board members in terms of status, but he was Kelvin's right-hand man. Although he was only a CEO assistant, his invisible power made people wary.

The conference room fell silent.

Abbie's bright eyes were full of anticipation as she looked towards the door, hoping that Kelvin would be surprised when he found out she had become a new board member.

She wasn't just a woman who knew how to dance.

But Chris disappointed her with his first announcement, "Ahem, let me announce the first thing. Mr. Foley may not come to work today and the shareholders' meeting will proceed as usual."

What!
