Josefina turned her head to gaze out the window, blatantly ignoring Oliver.
Oliver, eager to tease Josefina a bit more, had to focus on driving as the traffic light turned green.
After dropping Josefina off at school, Oliver drove back to his office. Just as he arrived, George hurried in from outside.
"Mr. Oliver, you need to see this. Dominic has called a shareholders' meeting without your approval. Only a few showed up, but those few are backing Dominic."
Oliver, hearing this, remained calm and collected as he made his way out. George followed closely behind Oliver, and together they headed to the meeting room.
George stepped ahead of Oliver, pushing open the meeting room door, as Oliver strode in confidently.
Dominic and four shareholders were in the midst of a discussion, which ceased upon Oliver's entrance.
George pulled up a chair for Oliver, who sat down, drawing the attention of everyone present.
"Dominic," Oliver began, his tone icy, "you're holding a meeting here without my say-so?"
Dominic stumbled over his words, "I... I assumed you wouldn't mind."
"I do mind."
The shareholders fell silent, torn between supporting Dominic and siding with Oliver. Their allegiance hung by a thread.
Oliver's gaze swept over them, his eyes cold and predatory, "This is my turf. What makes you think you can use my meeting room?"
Dominic was visibly taken aback, unable to form a response.
