Chapter 59 Every eye in the room turned toward him.] Those blocking his path hastily moved aside.[] The factory staff had never seen the corporation's new CEO before, but as he entered, his innate authority immediately commanded their respect [] Zarek approached the center of the conference table, his expression grim.
