Chapter 664: Why her and not you?

The next day…

[Pierson Corporation]

Dean walked to his office in silence. Today was the board meeting, and until then, he had to do some extra work for it. On his way, his assistant welcomed him and fell a step behind.

"Sir," called the assistant, making Dean slow down in his steps. "Mr. Davis might not be able to make it today, he said."

Dean's brow arched as he set his eyes ahead. "And why is that?"

"He didn't say anything else aside from that he had a prior commitment he couldn't cancel."

"A prior commitment?" Dean let out a shallow laugh, sneering. "Did he think I would buy that?"

The assistant didn't respond and simply followed him to his office quietly. It was true that no one would believe Finn's lame excuse. After all, the board meeting of the Pierson Corporation was one of the most important meetings the company held three times a year—except in emergencies.

Everyone always attended it.
