Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 602 Nominal Managing Director
Bernardo knew that he couldn't stop Amber from becoming the chairwoman of the board of Goldstone.
Besides, he cooperated with Braylee to force her to give out her shares today, so Amber must have hated him already. If she became the chairwoman of the board, she would definitely arbitrate him instantly. Hence, to avoid being arbitrated, the only thing that he could do was to force Amber to let Braylee take five-point-five percent shares. Therefore, as long as Amber's shares wouldn't exceed fifty percent, she wouldn't achieve absolute holding of the company shares. That meant she wouldn't be able to arbitrate him.
Looking at his eyes sparkling with schemes, Amber knew what was in his mind.
She smiled. "Okay. I'll give it to her. It'll depend on her capability if she could keep it."
Then she pulled out her phone and called Sheila in.
"Sheila, draft a share transfer," Amber said.
In the beginning, she had known that she would probably lose five-point-five percent. Even if Bernardo didn't ask her to give them to Braylee, Amber would give them to her.
Therefore, Amber wasn't surprised when hearing his request. She didn't panic, now was she unwilling.
As she had said earlier, Braylee was just an idiot. If Amber had any chance, she could set up Braylee in the future to take back the five-point-five percent.
Upon hearing Amber's order, Sheila glanced at Braylee in surprise. Then she nodded. "I see, Ms. Reed. I'll get it done now."
With those words, Sheila left the conference room to draft the document.
Soon, it was done.
Amber and Braylee signed the share transfer, witnessed by all the senior executives, shareholders, and lawyers of the legal department of Goldstone. Since then, Braylee had five-point-five percent shares of Goldstone.
Although it was far less than twenty-five-point-five percent that she had wished, she knew she couldn't get that much. Hence, she had managed to gain some shares, much to her surprise. "Since I'm a shareholder now, I should have a position in Goldstone, right? Amber, I want your position." Braylee put away the share transfer, looking at Amber in a provocation. Amber squinted. "Of course, you can have a position. I hope you won't make fun of yourself."
"Hah! You've underestimated me. Amber, even you can manage the company. I believe I'll do a better job." Braylee raised her chin, looking self-confident and proud.
Amber smiled faintly. "Really? I'll wait and see then. If you dare to make trouble in the company or do something to ruin the company's reputation, I'll fire you."
Then she ignored Braylee, looking over at Bernardo opposite. "Mr. Delgado, since I'm the chairwoman of the board now. You should give me back the management power, right?"
Bernardo gritted his teeth. After a long time, he took a deep breath to calm down and answered, "Of course. Now you're the chairwoman of the board. You should have all the management power."
Amber smiled. "That's good. Mr. Delgado, you can enjoy your retirement in this case. You don't need to work so hard to help me manage the company. After all, you should retire now."
Then she stood up calmly under Bernardo's deadly gaze. Clapping, Amber said, "All right, everyone. Today's general meeting of shareholders is over. Dismiss."
"Yes, Ms. Reed," all the senior executives and shareholders stood up and answered. They congratulated Amber on becoming the chairwoman of the board. Amber slightly closed her eyes, enjoying their blessings.
She had to admit that she enjoyed being the chairwoman more than being the managing director of Goldstone.
She liked it indeed.
Amber didn't spare a glance at Bernardo or Braylee at all. She picked up her laptop and walked towards the door of the conference room.
She was the chairwoman of the board now, so she was the first one to leave. Others would follow her.
Bernardo would go first in the past, and now it was her turn.
She enjoyed the feeling so much.
With a bright smile, Amber walked out of the meeting room. Sheila followed her and said, "Congratulations for becoming the chairwoman of the board, Ms. Reed." "Thanks." Amber nodded at her with a smile. Then she said, "Inform all the employees their monthly bonuses will double this month to celebrate my promotion." "Okay, Ms. Reed," answered Sheila happily.
Then Amber recalled something. "Also, inform our men not to give Braylee Reed any actual power. She can only be a nominal managing director without any rights or access to the company's confidential information."
Let alone Braylee united with Bernardo. She caused their father's death. Hence, Amber would never let her have any chance to manage Goldstone.
She would watch Braylee under her nose. Then she would find a chance to obtain the evidence to prove that Braylee had poisoned their father.
In that case, she would send Braylee to jail and avenge their father.
"No worries, Ms. Reed. I'll arrange for it," Sheila said, pushing up her glasses.
Amber replied with a grunt. She pushed her office door open and entered.
As soon as she sat down, her phone rang.
Amber took a look. It was a call from Jared.
She smiled. The tiredness on her face dissolved. She swiped to answer the call, "Hello?"
"I heard the general meeting of shareholders had been held in Goldstone. You had a new chairman of the board, right?" Jared asked, sitting at his desk in the office.
Amber frowned. "How did you know it? Who told you so? Did you have a spy in my company?"
Jared raised his eyebrows. Evidently, he hadn't expected her to guess it so fast. Feeling guilty, he pressed a fist next to his lips and coughed. "Well, not a spy. I send one person to your company to help you manage the finance department."
"The finance department?" Amber rolled her eyes to think and recalled. "Do you mean Mr. Hancock, the director of finance?"
"Yes," Jared nodded.
"Mr. Hancock works for you?" Amber widened her eyes in surprise.
Jared shook his head. "He used to work for me. Now he's not. He's working for you now."
Amber snorted. "If he worked for me only, why would he contact you, his former employer? He should still be working for you. I'm afraid he also has an extra salary from you, doesn't he?"
Jared didn't answer.
Amber pressed her lips. "It seems I'm right."
"All right. To tell the truth," Jared chuckled and explained, "After Stella Chan had gone, you kept looking for a finance department manager. You even wanted to hire one through the executive search service. I was afraid the candidate you chose might be bribed by the Gardner family or Bernardo Delgado, so I relocated one of my finance department managers from my company to yours without telling you. Then, he wouldn't be bribed by anyone."
"I see. He won't be bribed by the Gardner family or Bernardo Delgado, but secretly, he's loyal to you. He also shares my company information with you," Amber said crossly, rolling her eyes.
If it were in the past, when she knew one of her critical employees was arranged by Jared and shared her company information with Jared, Amber would definitely go ballistic.
However, she didn't think it was necessary now. Jared would become her boyfriend soon.
Besides, the finance department manager sent by him was pretty competent. He helped Amber manage the department well.
Hence, Amber didn't have the heart to kick him out in anger.
Jared didn't sense that Amber was angry from her tone, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that she didn't blame him for sending someone to her company without telling her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
