"Good afternoon, everyone," Chairman Sy greeted, his demeanor composed and authoritative. His arrival instantly diverted attention from the ongoing discussion.

Drake stood up, offering a respectful smile. "Good afternoon, Chairman Sy. It's an honor to finally meet you in person."

Chairman Sy nodded in acknowledgment before addressing the room, saying, "Please, be seated."

As the executives settled back into their chairs, Chairman Sy's gaze swept across the room, detecting the lingering tension. "I apologize for my delay. I've been briefed on the ongoing discussions."

Drake remained composed, keenly observing Chairman Sy's reaction to the proposal that had been presented moments ago.
