    Sam handed Quinn a ss of water. “Here, have a drink.”


    Quinn was surprised-he never was this caring with anyone.


    Still, her stare left him embarrassed, and he averted his eyes, huffing stubbornly, “Your voice is hoarse.


    It’s grating.”


    Quinn did not take it to heart-he probably would not stop being a tsundere.


    “The board meeting will start at 2 PM,” she reminded him.” You have to attend it in ce of your father


    and announce your tenure as the acting board chairman.”


    “Already?” Sam eximed in surprise.


    “Is that going to trouble you?”

    “No,” Sam replied, bracing himself just then. “I just didn’t expect you to be so efficient.”


    “Well, John is right about keeping thepany in line,” Quinn said seriously. “That means it can’t go


    leaderless, although the meeting might turn out to be a bloodbath as well… Even so, you have my


    unconditional support.”


    “It’s just a bunch of geezers,” Sam huffed nonchntly. “I can handle them.”


    “With agees wisdom. Don’t let your guard down,” Quinn told him.


    “Don’t worry.”


    Quinn could not help smiling at how confident Sam looked- he always did like to put on airs.


    Even so, she found a sense of security in the way he faced crises with aplomb.


    Sam led Quinn into the board conference room at 2 PM sharp.


    The air in the room was stiff with the twenty board members all scowling as they sat.


    Sam took the board chairman’s seat nheless, which caused further displeasure.


    In fact, everyone immediately started urging Sam to leave, none of them showing him due respect.


    “What do you think you’re doing here, Sam Saunders?! This isn’t a ce for you to mess around-we


    need to discuss a vital issue thepany is facing!”


    “Your father is still in the hospital, and thepany’s facing a crisis. You can’t help us, so don’t add to


    our troubles too.”


    “Leave already. Don’t dy our meeting!”


    Nheless, Sam remained calm as he announced, “My father’s doctors have insisted that he takes


    his time to rest and recover. As such, before he has a clean bill of health, I’ll be taking his ce and his


    full authority in managing Saunderia.”


    “Are you kidding me?!’ One of the board members snorted.”


    Or has your dad gone senile?! Letting you take over?! If there’s anyone who can, it’d be Ryan-certainly


    not you!”


    “Dream on, kiddo. We won’t voluntarily ept the leadership of some rich yboy who’s never done a


    day of serious work in his life.”


    “If you’re really taking charge, then I give up entirely. Do whatever you want-it’s just bankruptcy at


    worst.”


    Sam was left scowling by the chorus of disapproval.


    However, it was reasonable considering hisck of aplishments… In fact, from a certain point of


    view, the board’s loyalty to thepany was made evident.


    As such, he calmed down and exined patiently, “I neither contributed anything to Saunderia nor


    worked seriously before my father’s illness. However, this incident has


    spurred me to mend my ways and put all my effort into my work.”


    However, the board members were not understanding at all.


    “Those are some pretty words, but can you back them up?”


    “Look at your own eye! You were recently involved in a fight, weren’t you?! Go back to your life of


    pleasure, and we might turn things around ourselves.” “That’s right-are you trying to get us bankrupt


    sooner with your leadership?!”


    Sam did not expect the geezers to be this harsh!
