Chapter 2023

"It's best if the company can operate according to the plan I executed previously. We'd have to rectify anything that could not be previously achieved." Nicole's gaze was extremely cold. The aura surrounding her was heavy and pressuring to others.

"Chairman." Someone interrupted her and said kindly, "After all, you haven't been around for the past five years. The company's situation isn't the same as it was five years ago. So, I don't think we should follow through with the plan that was made five years ago."

Nicole frowned a little. Those words sounded like kind words, but in actual fact, they were doubting her.

Five years back, Nicole had already known that she was going to take over the company. Therefore, she had made some plans for the company's development. Over the past few days, she had seen the state of the company and found it to be progressing well. However, there were some parts which were not satisfactory.

Nicole also admitted that five years had been a long time and there were some parts which needed change. But she had gone through all the details and found that the problem was not with the direction they were heading toward. It was on the implementation.

"Mr. Walker, I think we should let Nicole decide if it's necessary or not." Sean glanced at Mr. Walker coldly. There was a threat in his eyes.

Although Mr. Walker was a senior in the company, his contribution had not been helpful to the company over the years. Instead, there were signs of inactivity. Sean did not look into it as a sign of respect toward his seniority. And yet, Mr. Walker dared to publicly question Nicole.

Nicole glanced at him. It was just a quick glance, so she could not read Mr. Walker's reaction. However, that made Mr. Walker conscious and he tried to escape from making eye contact.

'She hasn't been around for five years. Why does it feel like this brat has gotten a lot more imposing than before?'

"We'll think about whether it's necessary or not. If anyone isn't involved in management, you should just follow the instructions given to you." After Nicole had finished speaking, she recomposed herself and continued assigning other work.

Soon, the meeting ended. Following Nicole's instructions to wrap up, everyone involved in the meeting got up and left the room. They were all discussing in groups.

"No wonder she's Mr. Riddle Sr. 's target successor. Even if it took five years of waiting, he would've to wait for her to return."

"Such a bold and decisive style is really admirable!"

"I think the Riddle Corporation finally has some hope."

Hearing everyone's comments, Mr. Walker's gaze turned darker. He grabbed his phone tightly and quietly walked to the stairs. However, he did not realize that there were people watching every single move of his.

The directors had all left. The ones left in the meeting room were Nicole, Sean and Steve.

"Sean, have you never doubted Mr. Walker?" Nicole asked solemnly. She felt that with Sean's ability, he would not leave Mr. Walker alone.

"At that time you went missing, we weren't in the mood to think about the company. We just tried to maintain our operations as usual. After that, when we slowly went back to work, Mr. Walker did not cross any boundaries. So, we did not bother much," Sean explained.

Steve snorted. "I just didn't expect him to make a move this quickly, as soon as you came back. I thought that he had the patience to hold it in, but it seems like it was just because he didn't feel a sense of urgency to make a move."

'Now that Nicole had just returned, he quickly made a move. Did he really think he could get what he wanted in one day?'

"That's still fine. If someone else makes a move, that'd be even weirder." Afterall, it was not only one person who had been eying on the Riddle Corporation. It would be odd or even more dangerous if things were too quiet.

"There would be someone watching him. You don't have to worry about the rest either." A hint of coldness flashed through Sean's eyes. In his eyes, no one should ever try to disturb Nicole.

Nicole turned to Steve and spoke to him. "Steve, I'll leave the new contract to you."

"Don't worry. It's not a big issue for me to handle. I love this type of work," Steve replied happily.

"It's been five years and you're still the same as before. In fact, it's even worse than before," Nicole could not help but tease.
