Not only was Henry the CFO, he was also one of the company’s founders, as well as a person who held considerable sway in the company. The entire corporation’s lifeline is in his hands. Aren’t we finished if he’s kicked off just like that? A sneer appeared on Henry’s face, as if he was ridiculing James for not understanding the implication of what he just did. The rest of the board of directors had smiles on their faces as well. While I could only stand at a side with my palms sweating. “What are you guys looking at? Do I not have the authority to fire that man?” James was not at all angered. Instead, the grin on his lips grew wider, “It’s your call, old man. You’ll either walk out of here or you’ll be walked out of here.” And the smiles around us immediately froze.
