Hello, we will now begin Patsy Group's Special Shareholders' Meeting. The announcement echoed through the wide hall filled with men and women in fine suits. Everyone’s eyes turned to the front as the banner above read 15th Special Shareholders’ Meeting.

The host cleared his throat and said, “The Chairwoman will now kick us off.”

Josey walked up to the stage with a proud smile. Her hair was neat, her dress elegant, and her voice calm as she held the microphone.

“Hello, shareholders. My name is Josey,” she said smoothly. “Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting.”

The crowd clapped politely.
