Sophie answered Sydney, "President Dayton and Director Williams aren't here yet."
"Okay." Sydney nodded.
After a short while, the door of the conference room opened and Stephen Dayton walked in with Director Williams.
Sydney met Stephen's eyes. "President Dayton, you're late."
Stephen nonchalantly pulled a chair and sat down." Something came up. You're not angry with me, are you?"
Sydney smiled. "Of course, not."
She knew that Stephen was late on purpose. He wanted to show his authority to her.
Sydney decided to just let him be for now since the news she was going to announce would probably get him upset later.
"Since everyone is here, then we'll start the meeting now. The last time..."
Before Sydney could finish her sentence, Stephen interrupted her. "Today is the day Flint Corporation announced their final decision on the main cooperation partner. Tell us about the results."
"Exactly, Vice President Raines. Tell us, did you get it? " another senior director on Stephen's side asked.
Sydney frowned.
A senior director who supported Sydney slammed his hand against the table. "Enough. The meeting has just started. This matter can wait."
"Why wait? The result is the only thing that concerns us right now," someone else replied.
Stephen looked at Sydney mockingly. "Since everyone is curious, why not announce the result first?"
"I agree. Tell us!" someone else said.
The senior director who supported Sydney earlier was so angry that his face was flushed red. "You're going too far."
"Director Lawson, it's fine. Since everyone wants to know, I'll tell them. I’ll have to announce this sooner or later in today's meeting." Sydney glanced at Stephen with cold eyes.
Since Stephen could not wait to hand half of his management rights to her, then so be it.
Thinking about that, the corners of Sydney's lips turned into a smile.
When Stephen saw her smile, his heart sank. He felt a sudden sense of crisis, and the mocking expression he had earlier disappeared.
With her expression, did she get the position as the main cooperation partner?
No. Impossible. She was pretending for sure. She must be dying inside right now.
Stephen was secretly in denial. However, his clenched fists exposed how nervous he was on the inside.
Sydney saw through him and sneered. She said, "I got the position as the main cooperation partner."
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Those who supported her and those who supported Stephen were all in shock, and they could not believe their ears.
She got the position as the main cooperative partner?
"Vice President Raines, are you for real?" Director Lawson was so excited that he was trembling.
Sydney nodded. "It's true."
"That's great!" Director Lawson had joy written all over his face.
Those who supported Sydney were all in triumph.
Everyone knew what new energy technology meant -revolution.
Once this new technology matured in the market, it could replace the kinetic energy that the entire world was currently using.
Skylight Corporation would then be the pioneer in the development of this technology. The rise of their
development could already be foreseen.
In contrast to Sydney's side who was already in jubilation, the people on Stephen's side all had gloomy expressions all over their faces. It was as though they had eaten a fly by accident.
Especially Stephen.
