ELI'S POV
As we stepped into Armand Inc., the energy in the office was electric. Armand and I walked straight to the executive conference room, where Kaveesha, Caleb, Max, Monica, Jessel, John, and Phyllis were already gathered. Armand paused at the doorway, and everyone in the room quickly stood to greet him.
He gave a nod, then moved to his chair, settling in as Monica started the meeting, "Let's go over the project updates."
Monica led with a brisk overview of each project, moving from logistics to timelines, clearly in her element. When she was done, Max jumped in with a rundown on the new security protocols, outlining changes to access controls with calm precision. Caleb and John both added their insights, emphasizing the importance of the latest security measures. I caught Armand's eye and saw a glimmer of approval there.
