Just the rent was a sum that most would consider astronomical.novelbin
Clearly, the Johns family operated in a realm where such expenses were mere trivialities.
“Let’s get inside,” Dane said, his tone casual as he parked the car.
Then, he ushered Madisyn into thepany.
Their entrance didn’t go unnoticed.
As they passed through the hallways, curious nces and hushed whispers followed them, creating a ripple of spection among the staff.
“Who’s that man? He looks so familiar!”
“Are you kidding? That’s Mr.
Dane Johns, the president of our headquarters! Looks like we might be seeing a big change around here.
Since Mr.
Johns is here, will he take over thepany?”
This notion seemed to ignite a spark of excitement, especially among many of the female employees.
Always keen on their appearance, the female employees now had an added incentive to look their best with the president in their midst.
“But who is that woman? His girlfriend?”
“No, Mr.
Johns isn’t known to have a girlfriend yet, but I’ve heard that several heiresses are eyeing him.
Maybe she’s one of his suitors?”
Unaffected by the murmurs, Dane led Madisyn into the president’s office.
The previous manager had been dismissed just the day before for poor performance, and he had noints about his dismissal.
As Dane and Madisyn entered, they were closely followed by the vice president, Mina Atkins.
She was dressed in a sharp white suit, and her presence wasmanding.
Her facial features bore the telltale signs of cosmetic procedures, lending her a look that was both delicate and slightly unnatural.
Her eyes lit up when she looked at Dane.
“Mr.
Johns, what brings you here? Are we having a meeting now?”
Mina had been aware of the change in presidency but hadn’t anticipated Dane to personally manage thepany.
It seemed the Johns Group might be cing newfound importance on this branch.
Mina’s focus was solely on Dane; she barely acknowledged Madisyn standing beside him.
Dane responded with a nod, all business.
“Please, gather everyone in the conference room.
”
“Of course.
” Mina nodded briskly and left to call the meeting.
In the meantime, Madisyn busied herself with the documents on the desk.
Dane took a moment to outline the key points, and she nodded along, absorbing the information.
But soon, Dane received a work-rted call.
He excused himself and stepped outside to talk.
