章節 117: We Need To Stop Meeting Like This

"Brandon?" Chris repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. "You are making Brandon interim CEO?"

Lily sat relaxed behind the massive mahogany desk, her expression resolute. "Yes, Chris," she confirmed, her voice firm. "I have made the decision. It is the best course of action for the company at this time, since my son is unable to perform his duties."

Chris struggled to find the words to express his astonishment. He barely knew Brandon, but from the very little he had seen, he was not leadership material. The idea of him running a multinational corporation like Van Doren was simply absurd.
