"Mr. Horatio, can you give us a little hint?"
Horatio wheeled himself to his spot, looking up at everyone with an air of authority. Despite being in a wheelchair, he wore a sharp suit that matched his powerful presence.
"You're all guessing wrong. But there is something big happening in the company."
"What is it?"
The room buzzed with curiosity.
"The company is getting new management," Horatio revealed. "You'll know what I mean soon enough—they're on their way!"
"What do you mean?"
The team cast puzzled glances at Horatio, trying to decipher Horatio's words.
Just then, Calliope strode in. She was tall and commanding, her tailored suit accentuating her confident demeanor. Her expression was cool, almost regal, as she walked in flanked by Monty and Franco, who looked like an assistant and a secretary, both overshadowed by Calliope’s commanding presence.
The meeting room erupted in whispers.
"Isn't that Calliope?" someone murmured.
"Why is she here? What's going on?"
"Could Horatio mean Calliope's taking over management?"
"Surely not! She's just a young woman, how can she run the company?"
"Even if the company’s reputation took a hit because of the Jewells’ ill-treatment toward her, it doesn't mean she's fit to manage a company."
"And who's this Franco character?"
From now on, I'll be taking over as the chairperson. I've called you all here to discuss some matters. I ask for your undivided attention."
As Calliope finished speaking, the room erupted again, this time with disbelief and outrage.
"Are you fricking kidding me?"
"Monty, have you lost your mind? Can she even run a company?"
"Monty, it's fine to make amends, but don't let her ruin the business!"
"Ms. Jewell, no offense, but you lack the necessary skills. You tried working here before and it didn't end well, remember?"
"I have to say, you’re not competent, even Lisette was better than you. How can we agree to you being the chairwoman?"
