"As a result of our findings, we are confident we can resolve the opposition over the appointment of the new CEO here and now, thus saving the individuals and the company considerable money is legal costs over challenges and, hopefully, resulting in not having anyone dismissed, especially the two persons I am about to identify. But it will require the goodwill of both persons to fall back into line and if you do so, the company will not in any way register this as a blot on your service record and I have secured the company's absolute assurance that this will be so. Mrs Hamilton is now invited to comment."
"Thank you, Miss Lovelock. Everyone, I am satisfied that everything we have heard at this meeting so far is geared absolutely toward achieving the best possible result for the company and for every individual in its workforce. What you had heard is a peace offering, and the association will be vigilant that the terms being offered to the two main protagonists will be honoured."
"I recommend total acceptance by our two leading dissenters who it is assumed wish no harm to occur to the company's productivity now that the company's stance has been explained in utmost faith, I believe."
"As a result of my thorough investigation, or at least as thorough as I believe we could muster without launching a witch-hunt, Miss Lovelock and I have identified Chris Black as the chief protagonist in attempting to upset the appointment of Harris Roebuck as the new CEO of Roebuck Industries with Gary Bligh being in close association in supporting Mr Bligh's attempt to upset the appointment."
"My recommendation is that no disciplinary action be taken against those two active dissenters. It is recognised that Mr Bligh had been widely considered within this company's workforce that he was the leading contender to become the replacement CEO following the announcement of Stan Wallace, the incumbent, of his retirement."
Jenni then said, "This completes the company's agenda for this meeting unless there are any questions or comments for me or Mrs Hamilton. I have advised your CEO to made no further comment today."
After almost a minute passing with no questions being raised, Jenni closed the meeting and the panel members left the room to a hubbub of discussion among the senior executives.
Members of the panel went to the CEO's office where Harris' PA served coffee while Harris called his father to delivered a terse message by phone with the speaker on, "The meeting is over, dad, and I await for any reaction. There was no blood on the floor."
Leyland replied, "Excellent. Now you can devote your full energy to the job you have been appointed to do. Jenni Lovelock has been practically a godsend to you and to this company. Treasure her. Bye."
"I do treasure her dad. Our engagement will be announced formerly in the social section of our city's morning newspaper this Saturday, and yes dad, that is with Jenni's consent," he laughed, cutting the call.
Harris strode over to stand beside the smiling Jenni.
"Well, Mrs Hamilton," he said quietly. "What is your feeling as a result of that meeting, we've just left?"
"I anticipate the issue will now fade quickly and, in all probability, you'll receive Gary Bligh's resignation within the next couple or so hours."
"His resignation would be accepted," Harris said darkly.
The End

Anonymousover 4 years agoGreat story, however I am puzzled by the end. The story covered about a week of courtship, then boom, they’re engaged. The end. We want details! What led up to the proposal? Who proposed? They had great chemistry.
Anonymousover 4 years agoThis felt like it should have been chapter 1 of 3 up until page 4 and 5. You went from building a relationship to "Problem solved" and "living happy ever after". No mention of the weekend helping his aunt and uncle only of introducing the idea. Really was expecting to see some dialog about how Jenni and Harris worked together to solve some as yet to be introduced problems and building their relationship into something believable. Anyway, felt the ending popped up way too soon for what its worth.
Anonymousover 4 years agoBy the end of page I wondered where this tale was going. When I got to the end I had to ask myself where it went and why. I didn't have a good answer for those questions. The dialogue seemed stilted and vague at times and the business posturing seemed only remotely related to the relationship part of the story. Don't feel right rating it higher than a 3.
