Herman Bates didn't dare to refute.
He said ruefully, "Alright, let's continue the meeting."
Carmelo Garrison glanced helplessly at Dirk Carter and sat down dejectedly.
At this moment.
Faustino Churchill's secretary rushed in.
He whispered something into Faustino Churchill's ear.
Faustino Churchill said to Herman Bates, "Secretary Bates, there's a phone call I need to return immediately. You start the meeting and I'll be back soon."
"Chairman Churchill, it's okay, you go ahead, I'll take a break too, let everyone have a restroom break."
Herman Bates said considerately.
Faustino Churchill didn't respond and hurried out.
Then.
Herman Bates announced a short break.

The auditorium was suddenly filled with noise.
Dirk Carter remained motionless in his seat, but Kanes Bates strolled over leisurely.
