The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

At the end of the meeting, Emily thought of a win-win solution.

She waited until Michael had finished speaking before she slowly took over and addressed everyone on the computer.

"I know everyone has their reservations. After all, the Smith family's shares and your own businesses shouldn't conflict. I also understand that considering your own industries is only natural.

"But if everyone helps Mr. Smith vote Roger out of the Smith Corporation's shareholders, we would not only redistribute 2% of the shares but also merge everyone's overseas businesses with the Smith Corporation's overseas businesses? This way, we can all make money together and completely exclude the Ward family."

Emily's words immediately caused quite a stir among those present. Everyone gradually turned on their microphones.

When it comes to their own interests, no one holds back.

They couldn't help but start discussing it, and some even directly questioned Emily.

"Miss Brown, your words don't carry as much weight as Mr. Smith's. Have you discussed this with him?"

"Redistributing 2% of the shares would mean that we're just dividing Roger's shares among ourselves. The Smith Corporation wouldn't gain any benefits and would have to deal with our overseas troubles. What's the point of that? Isn't this a joke?"

"Exactly, Miss Brown, you used to be Mrs. Smith, but now... that's not certain. How much can we trust your words? We don't want to end up shooting ourselves in the foot and suffering for it!"

Seeing everyone arguing, Emily didn't know what to say for a moment.

Moreover, they weren't entirely wrong. She hadn't consulted Michael about this idea and was presenting it to the shareholders without knowing if he would agree. It was a bit too hasty.

Helpless, Emily could only remain silent, and the air was filled with awkwardness.

Furthermore, the topic of divorce was like a landmine. Emily seemed indifferent to it, but whenever it was broached, she was still taken aback and at a loss.

"Who told you Miss Brown is no longer Mrs. Smith? She is herself, but she is also my wife. I haven't said anything, and you all are biting the hand that fed you?"

"Are you not satisfied with this idea? If you're not satisfied, you wouldn't be so active and self-righteous here." Michael's cold laughter silenced the room once again. "You..." Emily turned to look and saw Michael looking at her with a sincere smile.

"I agree with your idea. You're right. Instead of leaving the shares to Roger, it's better to resolve it within the Smith Corporation and expand our overseas businesses. I also have plans for that."

Michael's words meant that the Smith Corporation was planning to expand its overseas businesses?

So, their ideas coincided?

"Since Mr. Smith has said so, we have no objections. Let's go with Mrs. Smith's idea!"

"Yes, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith are a perfect couple. With you two, we're not afraid to confront Roger, that old guy who only cares about profit and worships foreign things. He should have been kicked out of Emerald City long ago!"

"Exactly, I've disliked him for a long time. I'll make arrangements right away. Let's settle this matter as soon as possible. Mr. Smith, don't you agree? We're just waiting for you and Mrs. Smith to come back!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, come back soon and stay safe!"

The shareholders flattered them one after another, praising Michael and Emily.

Michael had long grown tired of hearing such words.

But today, he had a renewed appreciation for Emily.

When he first met Emily, he thought she was just a pretty face with ulterior motives for getting close to him.

But over time, he discovered more and more of Emily's strengths.

Until today, Michael even thought that Emily's ability to manage the company was no less than his own.

Instead of having Veda struggle to learn MBA courses, it would be better to let Emily take over.

The more he thought about it, the more Michael regretted how he had treated Emily, regretted the divorce proposal, and regretted not treating her well.

Thinking of all this, Michael's face turned grim.

Emily could see Michael's change in mood from the corner of her eye, but she didn't respond immediately. She knew that Michael might not change for her, and even if he did, it would take time.

Despite this, a glimmer of hope arose in her heart. Perhaps there was still a chance for them to start over.

"Let's call it a day. We should all rest early. We have to visit Mr. Wilson's house tomorrow."

With that, Emily avoided Michael's gaze, closed her phone, and was about to say goodbye to Daniel.

But at some point, Daniel had quietly left the room.

Where he went, he didn't say goodbye to Emily or Michael.

Emily's gaze lifted, and she finally met Michael's deep, affectionate eyes. Michael stood up, and they stood face to face in the narrow space between the bed and the cabinet.

Michael's prominent forehead and handsome nose were close.

Emily couldn't avoid it and had to step back first.

Michael knew that Emily didn't want to have too much involvement with him, at least not now.noveldrama

He cleared his throat softly and spoke first.

"I'll be going now."

Emily nodded, and as he left, she finally felt relieved when she heard the door close. Meanwhile, as soon as Michael stepped out, he received a call from Andrew. "Why are you calling again?"

Andrew quickly replied, "Mr. Smith, whose painting did you accidentally send to me earlier?"

Hearing this, Michael recalled.

He had meant to send a document to Andrew but accidentally sent a painting he had collected of Emily's. Then, busy with the meeting, he forgot to retract it.

"What's the matter?" Michael frowned and asked, only to hear Andrew's quick and organized response.

"You asked me to get some good works from the art department for this year's endorsement ads, but I happened to find several pieces from last year that resemble Mrs. Smith's work.

"Although I'm not an expert, I can at least tell that the composition and colors are quite similar."
