Brian kept his head lowered, wearing a modest expression. But the faint trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth still gave him away. When his eyes met mine, a glint of smugness flickered in them.
"If there’s nothing else, the meeting is adjourned." Megan closed the folder.
I stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a harsh sound.
All eyes turned toward me.
Megan frowned slightly. "Raymond, do you have something to say?"
"No."
My expression remained calm as I turned and headed for the door.
"Mr. Benneth!" Brian suddenly stood up and quickly caught up with me. "Please wait a moment!"
He reached out to stop me. "I come from the countryside, with limited exposure and insufficient experience. For the position of director, I truly feel unworthy. So I think it would still be more suitable for you to take the role…"
His voice grew softer and softer, perfectly portraying the nervous humility of a newcomer facing a senior. But when he pretended to casually lift his hand to adjust his tie, I clearly saw the watch on his wrist.
