Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1585

Arrogant!

At this time, this is the meaning all the directors understand from Amelia's words, although she did not mean it at all.

Who would call for voting if she knew what the result would be like? Was there any conspiracy behind this?

Kaleb's gang and the neutral gang were guessing at the same time. Kaleb glare at Amelia as if a sharp knife piercing through her.

Jonathan could understand Amelia's feelings at this time. She must be feeling tired, hated, and disappointed of the company's current situation, so she probably want to end it all at once for good?

Just when the people in the scene were having different thoughts, Amelia's eyes moved and gently fell on Kaleb. She said, "Kaleb, didn't you say that you are the organizer of this meeting? In that case, you will announce the start of the voting."

The word "Kaleb" shocked most of the people there. In fact, her only way out right now is to get Kalab's support, but instead, she just called him

out to challenge herself.

Kaleb was not feeling shock at all. To him, Amelia was already a loser.

"Okay, since Director Ramsay has asked me to arrange the voting, I will not disappoint you...". "I will surely vote you out!" Thought Kaleb.

While thinking gloomily, Kaleb said calmly, "Everyone, I'll repeat the company's regulations here. According to the regulation,

To assign or revoke a director's duties, it will need at least half of the vote on the motion, so everyone's vote is very important,

"Whether Director Ramsay will stay in the position, it all depend on your vote, I urge everyone to think clearly before voting."

"We know, Kaleb. We are all experienced employees of this company. How can we not know the regulation?"

"Don't worry. We will think carefully."

Kaleb seemed to be relieved and nodded after he heard the assurance. He personally handed a piece of paper to everyone except for Amelia, and went back to his own seat and said-

"The motion is: Amelia, whether she is qualified to continue to be the acting chairperson of the Apex Construction Corporation. If you think she is qualified, please write a 'Yes' on the paper."

"If you think she is not qualified, please write a 'No' on the paper. This voting is anonymous. Well, do you have any questions?"

"Fake!" Jonathan said unceremoniously. "We've already reached an agreement in private. Is there still a need for voting? Can't we just announce the answer directly?"

Most people in the hall felt embarrassed. Only Kaleb was brave enough to ask, "What agreement? I don't understand what you are talking about?"

In the end, he added, "Jonathan, can you not talking nonsense here? Otherwise, I will thought that you are out of your mind."

"You are the one out of your mind?" Jonathan's party immediately challenged Kaleb.

Amelia was impatient, she reminded everyone, "Guys, are we still voting?"

Kaleb was not feeling good. He thought to himself, he should be the one who lead this!

"Okay! Okay!" He shouted and said solemnly, "Calm down, now the voting begins!"

In the interval between the "yes" and "no", Amelia turned around and said to Audrey, "Go outside and keep watch for me. If someone approaches, please come in and inform me in advance."

"Yes." After leaving the meeting hall, Audrey appease her throbbing heart and let out a sigh of relief.

This scene was simply too shocking for her. Director Ramsay probably noticed it, so she let her out?

But in this way, she will not know the result.

One minute later.

When Kaleb saw everyone put down their pen, he continued, "Now, please fold the papers in your hands."

While everyone was folding the paper, Kaleb pretended to give Amelia a fair play and said, "Director Ramsay, in order to be fair, do you want to collect the results yourself?"

Amelia said faintly, "No, you can do it." She did not want to go around herself.

Kaleb sternly reminded her, "If the results later are not satisfactory, Director Ramsay, please don't wrong me for cheating."

Amelia looked at him with a faint smile. "No, I know very well what kind of person you are."

Kaleb's smile frozen with this. He could tell that Amelia was mocking him. But it did not matter. The winner will surely be him.

After walking around the conference desk, Kaleb returned to his seat with a stack of paper in his hand. He faked an invitation to Amelia and Jonathan. "Director Ramsay, Mr. Tucker, would you like to come over and calculate with me?"

"Kaleb, why are you in a daze again?" Someone reminded, "Also, don't let that little girl remind you about everything. How embarrassing you are!"

"I know!" Kaleb responded angrily and once again spoke to everyone in the hall, "We can't afford having no leader in the company even for a day. After Director Ramsay is dismissed, it is bound to have someone continue to lead Apex Construction Corporation for a brighter future. So, may I ask if anyone here would like to volunteer?"

Since everyone kept quiet, Kaleb began assuming the leader's role and said with a smile, "Don't be so reserved. Come on, let's all express our opinions!"

Just as he finished his sentence, someone excitedly said,

"Kaleb, I think you're a suitable candidate! What do you think?"

"I feel like Kaleb can do it!"

"That's right, I support Kaleb too!"

Kaleb pretended to refuse. "Oh dear, don't be so hasty, everyone! Think about it again..."

"Kaleb, you are not only a member of The Ramsay Family, but also a senior member of the company. If you don't, who else?"

"That's right!"

Waves of approval sounded one after another, causing Kaleb to feel as if someone was arching him to the stage. He sighed helplessly, "Since everyone having trust on me, fine!"

"So I ventured to vote for myself here. The voting method is the same as before, which is anonymous mode. Anyone who support me,"

"Just write a 'Yes' on the paper. If you don't, I won't force you. Just write a 'No' on the paper."

As Amelia had yet to resigned, she was still a member of the board of directors. Just now, in order to avoid suspicion, Kaleb did not give her a blank sheet of paper. Now it was Kaleb's turn to vote, so she got a blank sheet of paper to cast her vote.

As expected, she wrote "No" on it. Kaleb was not sitting far from her, so he saw the word wrote by her!

He felt very unpleased.

"I've filled it out."

However, something even worse happened to Kaleb soon after. Jonathan casually placed the paper in front of him and blocked his way.
