When the announcement was made Cedric nodded at Nicole and Ian who were holding hands on the side. Nicole mouthed a thank you to Cedric before kissing Ian gently on the lips.
"Dinner's on me." Ray proudly announced with a laugh.
The members of the Chan family that were heavily against Nicole's appointment cursed under their breath. Cedric knew that they had done something no one had predicted, and he had to admit, Miguel's dramatics helped catch them off guard.
One by one the board members began to leave, those that voted for Nicole came up to congratulate her. Most of them were people who had been saved by Miguel in the past and decided to invest into Saints Group, they were mostly progressives that didn't care for tradition and cared more about how Saints would be able to help people at a profit.
Eventually everyone except the Chans, the four princes, and Katerina were left in the room.
