Chapter 787
The weather was excellent today, with the gentle breeze, fluffy clouds, and warm sun shining from the
window into the big meeting room.
Almost everyone had arrived, except...
"What's taking so long?"
Joseph was starting to lose his patience.
After all, he had been waiting here for half an hour, yet the person was still not there.
"I can't get through to him, and no one's answering."
The secretary shook his head in embarrassment.
"Send someone to look for him, be it at his house or places he would be.We must find him no matter
what!" Joseph growled.
He was on the verge of losing his temper.
However, he knew it was not the right time to let loose.
There were more important things waiting to be done.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus, he turned around and calmed himself down before re- entering the meeting room.
"I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting.Shall we start?"
"Are we not going to wait for Mr.Damian?"
Arianna, who was sitting nearest to the main chair, asked casually.
Hearing this, Joseph froze.
At the same time, others began to chime in, "That's right! This isn't just any meeting.We are keen on
hearing Mr.Damian's report on the new project.It's already 9:30 AM.Where is he? Why hasn't he arrived
yet? Did something happen to him?"
"No, no such thing!" Joseph replied hastily.
"I think he had been working too hard on this project that he overslept.I hope we can empathize with
him.I've sent someone to look for him.Let's all start first, and once he arrives, we'll get him to share the
new project report.Of course, I'm sure we've all seen the results.All of you have a copy of the
document, don't you? The results are gratifying!"
Upon saying that, he let out a hearty laugh.
Profit was the most important thing regarding a product's performance.He could note this project as a
success.
Not only did it have a considerable profit return, but it also got off to a good start.It instilled a sense of
hope in them.
Joseph felt it would continue to grow, and the possibility of this product hitting international waters was
high.He had always been jealous of how La Beauté Group had monopolized the market share and
earned such huge profits.
Since he had suggested they start without Damian, the others dared not go against him.
"Let's get started, then."
The meeting started with last quarter's performance summary alongside several project analyses.
Then they discussed the past projects’ experiences and reported the results.
The managers of each branch made their reports, one after the other, and the executives shared their
opinions as they listened.
However, Joseph did not pay any attention at all.He was on edge as he secretly dialed Damian’s

Calls upon calls, there was still no answer from Damian.
Joseph started getting worried end angry as he cursed in his mind, 'B* stard! 1'll kill you when I see
you!"
Damian s-ill had yet to show up, even after the last branch manager finished his report.
At this point, the high-level executives looked at each other, then at Joseph.
"Mr.Joseph, about this..."
"Should we adjourn for now?"
"Hold up, let's just wait a minute longer.Damian's almost here."
Then Joseph turned to his secretary and ordered, "Ken, make a cup of coffee for everyone here."
Although no one left to show Joseph some respect, they all grumbled inwardly.
Back when Derrick was around, nothing like this would happen, and everyone was very disciplined.
Everyone recalled how Benedict was once late and was shunned in front of everyone.
Later, he also had his wages cut as a penalty.
However, Derrick was stricter with his own son than the company’s employees.
