Chapter 1009 Swearing-in Jennifer was surprised by Kaze’s compliance.

The disdain she had for him ran deeper.

“Alright, that’s it for today’s meeting, Meeting adjourned.” Jennifer clapped her hands, announcing the end of the meeting.

She did not care whether Kaze had anything to say.

She saw herself as the highest-ranked superior at Hudson Investment Firm.

Once Jennifer was gone, the senior executives gathered around Kaze.

“You're the only leader for me, Mr.

Lee. I'll follow you wherever you go.” “That’s right, Mr. Lee. We will only take your orders. Ms. Barwise doesn’t even respect you. Why should we listen to her?” The group was eager to prove their allegiance to Kaze.

Yesterday’s incident left a dent in them. These people would not take ~~ Jennifer’s side right away because Kaze backed off.

“Enough!” Kaze yelled, interrupting the group’s chatter.

The senior executives exchanged glances. They were only trying to show their loyalty to Kaze.

Kaze should be happy. Yet, he looked

pissed.

“Are you here to join cliques or work? ) “Please don’t forget that you work in an investment firm. The only way to prove your worth is to bring profits into the company.

“Now get back to work!” Kaze waved his arm indifferently and left the office.

The office politics were beneath him.

Kaze considered Jennifer’s antics childish. He did not mind the woman’s behavior if she could do her job right.

“Mr. Lee sure takes the high road.” The senior executives had themselves

to blame for the chewing out.

“Sophie, I'm heading to the mayor’s office. Call me if you need anything.” | Kaze told Sophie in the office and drove to the mayor’s office.

Johnson would be leaving Lilyrose today for his training course.

Before leaving, he wanted to do a brief handover with Kaze and introduce a few leaders in the mayor’s office to Kaze.

“Here you are, Mr. Lee.” Johnson led Kaze into the mayor’s office. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Behind him were his high-ranking officers.

Kaze had met some of them before.

“Mr. Lee, these are my right-hand men, Caleb Lee, Lou Moor... You know Don.” Johnson showed Kaze around, and even Don was there.

“Hello, mayor.” Caleb, Lou, and the others greeted Kaze respectfully.

They were shocked.

It was not new news that Johnson was close and courteous to Kaze.

They just did not expect Kaze to become the acting mayor and their temporary boss.

“Hello, everybody. Today is just for formalities.”

Kaze nodded and exchanged pleasantries.

By right, all middle tohigh ~~ management of the local council would meet the new mayor during the swearing-in.

Nevertheless, Kaze informed Johnson in advance that he would not be conducting the daily responsibility of a mayor or making public appearances.

Kaze’s appointment to the role was only limited to a handful of people.

Afternoon quickly rolled after Kaze’s luncheon with the team.

Then came the call from Jennifer's assistant.

“Where are you, Mr. Lee? Ms, Barwise requested me to take you to the

network for the interview.”
