The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Gilda walked in. As soon as she appeared, the room immediately quieted down.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.

It was not until she sat in the main seat that Steven smiled and said, “Ms. Lynch, thank you for your hard work these days.”

Gilda looked at Steven and replied with a smile, “It’s nothing. It’s what I should do as a member of the company.”

Steven smiled awkwardly and said, “Since Ms. Lynch’s here, let’s start the meeting.”

Everyone understood what he meant. They all appeared to be listening to him,

Gilda noticed this, but she still didn’t show any emotion on her face.

After a brief pause, she stated, “In the first half of the year, our company completed several projects and achieved excellent results. Next, each project manager will provide a summary…”

A director interrupted Gilda.

“Ms. Lynch, since today is the semi–annual board meeting and everyone has read the financial statements for the first half of the year before the meeting, why don’t we talk about our company’s performance in the first half of the year…”

A director sitting in the second row also said, “Ms. Lynch, we have read the document. You’ve worked hard in the first half of the year. Your leadership is essential for the company’s excellent performance.”

Gilda crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows.

*Since everyone is so interested in this topic, let’s focus on it first.”

“Of course, we need to focus on it. Ms. Lynch, you and Mr. Sanders made a bet. Ms. Lynch, do you still remember what you said?”

The people present eagerly anticipated Gilda’s embarrassment, and the room quickly buzzed. Many seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the show, especially Steven. He couldn’t hide his complacency.

He stood up and said, “Ms. Lynch is a woman of her word. Rest assured. The time… hasnt come yet.”

There was a burst of laughter. It seemed that everyone was sure that Gilda would lose her bet with Steven.

“Ms. Lynch, what do you think?”

Gilda smiled, but her eyes remained cold.

She said calmly, “Steven is right. It’s not time yet. Why are you so anxious?”

Gilda looked at Steven and said, “It’s only been six months since we agreed on the one–year deadline. Are you so eager to

take over as CEO of Glory Corporation?”

Steven denied it, appearing that he had no involvement in their actions. “Ms. Lynch, you misunderstood. I didn’t know they would do this. Please don’t be angry.”

Eric snorted coldly and then said angrily, “Steven, everyone knows what you are thinking about.”

Steven thought for a while and smiled. ‘Eric, why would you say that? This is just a bet between Ms. Lynch and me. They were all witnesses back then, and so were you.

“Since this is a bet, there must be a winner and a loser, and regardless of how the bet ends up, both parties must accept

the outcome.

“Do you agree?”

Eric went silent.

Most of the directors agreed. Eric didn’t compromise. He asked, “May I ask a question? Does Ms. Lynch lose? Are you all celebrating here, Mr. Sanders?”

Eric spoke with a powerful and resonant voice. In the large conference room, everyone looked at each other but remained

silent.
