Chapter 154: The Boardroom Battle
Monday, 25 October, 2010
The boardroom felt tense, like the whole room was holding its breath.
It was that eerie kind of quiet, right before something big happens where even the smallest noises, like a shoe scraping the floor or the soft ticking of the clock, sounded way too loud.
The air smelled strongly of old leather and polished wood, a mix that only made the silence feel heavier.
Coach Niels, still wearing his tracksuit, could feel a bead of sweat slowly sliding down his back. He shifted slightly in his chair, painfully aware of how calm and collected the men in suits looked compared to him.
The door opened, and a man walked in confident, calm, and clearly in control. He wasn't a player, and he definitely wasn't part of the club's regular board.
This was someone different.
