Regrets [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6

In a spacious, elegant boardroom adorned with polished wood and leather chairs, a group of distinguished board members sat around a large table. It was an important day, as they were about to meet the new CEO of the company.

The atmosphere in the room was a mix of curiosity and anticipation. The door opened, and the new CEO entered. Her presence was commanding, and her entrance alone drew the attention of everyone in the room. She confidently walked to the head of the table, and her poised and professional demeanor immediately garnered the board members' respect.

The new CEO, Jennie Ruby Jane Kim, began the meeting by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to lead the company. Her words were articulate, and she spoke with confidence about her vision and strategy for the organization, emphasizing growth and innovation. As she continued to speak, it became evident that she had a deep understanding of the company's challenges and opportunities.

Throughout the presentation, the board members were captivated by her well-prepared and charismatic style. They asked questions, and Jennie responded with clarity and conviction. By the end of the meeting, the board members were not only impressed but amazed by the new CEO. There was a palpable sense of optimism and excitement about the company's future under her leadership.

After a particularly draining board meeting that had stretched on for hours, Jennie finally left the grand boardroom. She could feel the weight of responsibility and the pressure that came with leading a major corporation.

Her steps were slow as she walked back to her office, the click of her high heels echoing in the empty hallway.

Jennie took a deep breath, knowing that the decisions made in that room would have a significant impact on the company's future.

As she entered her spacious office, she closed the door behind her, shutting out the noise from the outside world. Her office, with its large windows and tasteful decor, was a sanctuary where she could collect her thoughts.

Jennie moved to her desk and sank into her comfortable leather chair. She leaned back and closed her eyes, taking a moment to decompress. The weight on her shoulders began to lift as she reflected on the successful meeting. Her ability to navigate complex discussions and make critical decisions had once again been proven.

She opened her eyes, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Despite the exhaustion, there was a sense of relief in the knowledge that the company was in capable hands. Jennie was prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead, and the draining meeting had only reaffirmed her determination to lead the company to greater heights.

(Knock, Knock!)

"Come in!" Jennie said, as she adjusted herself in her chair.

"Ms. Kim, someone sent you a bouquet of flowers," her secretary informed, a hint of mystery in her tone.

"Are you sure?" Jennie asked, a sense of anticipation building within her.

Jennie rose from her chair and approached the bouquet, her eyes widening as she recognized the delicate 'Hyacinth' blooms, her favorite flower.

"Oh my God! These are beautiful. Did my mom send these?"

Jennie wondered, her thoughts racing. She turned to her secretary, seeking answers. "Joy, do you know who these are from?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Kim, but I have no idea. The delivery person didn't provide any details, just handed them to me, addressed to you, and left without a word," her secretary replied.

Jennie's gaze remained fixed on the flowers, her curiosity deepening as she noticed a small envelope tucked within the bouquet. With delicate hands, she retrieved the letter and unfolded it to reveal a simple yet intriguing message.
