Chapter 9 - The Boardroom Panic
Greg, Chloe, and Mark turned around and arrogantly strutted through the revolving glass doors of Riverton Technologies. They expected to walk into the lobby and be treated like royalty.
But the moment they stepped inside, the atmosphere was completely paralyzed by sheer, unadulterated panic.
Dozens of junior executives were running frantically across the marble floor. Phones were ringing off the hook.
Suddenly, the CEO of Riverton Technologies—a terrifying, ruthless man in his sixties—burst out of the private executive elevator. His face was flushed purple with absolute, feral rage. He marched directly toward Greg and Chloe.
"Greg!" the CEO roared, his voice echoing violently across the massive lobby. "Get into my office right now!"
Chloe’s cream suit jacket suddenly felt very tight. "Sir, is there a problem?"
"A problem?!" the CEO shrieked like a banshee, throwing a thick financial report directly onto the reception desk. "Apex International just announced a surprise acquisition! They bought a revolutionary compression patent this morning! Their stock is surging, and our biggest clients are already pulling their contracts! Our software is officially obsolete!"
