Cinderella And Her Beautiful Octuplets

Chapter 141

Meanwhile, Hannah had gotten to the company. She parked her car at the underground parking lot before climbing out of the car.

She walked inside the company and went straight to her office. Immediately she entered her office, she switched on her computer and began work immediately.

It wasn’t quite long when a call came in on the landline. She answered the phone and a man’s voice rang from the other side of the phone.

“The board meeting is starting in the next three minutes, I want you to be there now” Brandon stated and the call ended.

Hannah paused for some seconds, she didn’t know there would be a board meeting. There weren’t supposed to be any meetings today, so why the hell is Brandon holding a meeting? Hannah wondered as she stood up, picked up her phone, and walked towards the board room.

Immediately she entered, there were just two people inside the room. The head of the financial team, Mrs Smith, and the head of the committee, Mr Brown.

Immediately Mrs Smith saw Hannah, she rolled her eyes. She didn’t like Hannah and she never for once hid it, she always showed it.

Mrs Smith has never liked Hannah from the day Brandon announced her as the company’s COO and his wife. She felt Hannah was an outsider who just came and took over the position without working for it.

She’s been in the company for years now and she wasn’t considered for the position.

“Welcome Mrs Colby” Mr Smith who was on his phone, dropped his phone and turned to Hannah who smiled at him.

Just then Mrs Linda walked in, and there was a broad smile on her lips.

“Mrs Colby,” Mrs Linda, who was all over her, greeted Hannah, and Hannah just smiled at her.

She then walked to her seat and rolled her eyes. She didn’t like Hannah, but she wouldn’t show it because she wanted to be on the good side of Hannah, but Hannah who was smart knew most people in the company didn’t like her.

It wasn’t quite long, other people walked in and sat on their respective chairs, while talking to each other.

But just then the door to the board room flung open and Brandon walked in and everyone in the room went silent, like a ghost had passed by.

Brandon sat at the head of the table while staring at everyone with a straight face.

He gave out an air of dominance seen in a leader and under the illumination of the projector lamp, he gave out the feeling of a strong CEO.

The people in attendance today were all the upper management team of the Colby Co.

And each one of them was the head and assistant of various departments in Colby Co.

They had to report back to Brandon on the progress of their projects daily and there was no room for any mistakes or misconception.

The Colby Co. was involved in various financial schemes both in the country and outside the country., so the company was, in fact, much more than just a leading business in the country.

After Brandon’s Father had left the company, Brandon was appointed as the president of the company.

He had kept close control of the development of the company. He ended up leading Colby Co. toward a much brighter future than ever.

“We all know why this meeting was held, I need reports on what you all have been working on,” Brandon said as he maintained a straight look on his face.

“The machines that are gonna be used at the Colby’s Co field, have been signed off by Mrs. Colby, so work would proceed immediately, ” Mrs. Linda said and Mr Smith raised his eyebrows.

“What? Those machines are faulty, they are yet to be fixed. They cannot be used” Mr Smith said and everyone then turned to Hannah.

She remembered Mrs Linda bringing her the papers to sign off that the machine had been fixed. She says they needed to start work immediately in the field, So, she lied.

“So, Mrs Colby, what do you have to say about that?” Brandon asked and Hannah sighed.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“I was told the machine has been fixed, that’s why I signed them off. After this meeting, I will call the engineers on the field, ” Hannah said as she stared at Brandon who stared at her in return with no expression on his face. To her surprise, Brandon nodded and didn’t say a word.

Everyone was surprised as they expected Brandon to react badly but he did. Brandon on the other hand wanted to yell at Hannah, but they were in public, he didn’t want rumors going around that the CEO yelled at his COO as people are good at spreading news quickly.

“Let’s move on to the next topic,” Brandon said and just then the assistant head of the financial team, Nuella, stood up.

“Some of our clients abroad reached out to me and have been so confident with Mrs Colby being the new COO.

Especially the Tabriz groups, our oil fields provide their refineries with a steady supply.

Sales exceeded 100 million last year. This year hasn’t even come to an end and we already exceeded 500 million.

All thanks to Mrs Colby” Grace said with a smile on her face and Brandon hummed while he stared at Hannah.

The meeting went on and suddenly it came to an end. Everyone left the board room including Hannah, she proceeded to her office, and just then the door to her office burst open revealing Brandon, he looked so infuriated.

“You should knock before barging into my office,” Hannah said as she sat down and Brandon frowned.

“Why wouldn’t you do proper research to know if the machine has been fixed before signing them off?

What if the engineer had used it and it had led to them getting injured in any way” Brandon said looking so angry and Hannah stared at him speechlessly.

“And how would I know if it has been fixed or not? I asked the engineer and they said it has been fixed and I signed it.

Do you expect me to go under the machines and start checking if they’ve truly been fixed?” Hannah said and Brandon sighed softly. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He was overreacting, probably because he was feeling angry.

“Hannah I…..”

“Don’t you dare call my name? You know what? I quit, and I can no longer be your COO. I’m out of here” Hannah said as she picked up her phone and bag looking so angry and was about to leave when Brandon grabbed her hands.
