44 Strategic Maneuvers
Emma led a critical discussion about potential projects in the strategic planning room. Inga proposed
the Desmond Estate, but Tamma swiftly countered with an alternative, a prime location near the new
train station.
“This site’s proximity to downtown makes it a far more lucrative prospect,” Emma explained, her
proposal detailed and compelling
Inga, skeptical, questioned the feasibility. “We’ve considered this before. It’s not as straightforward as
you suggest,”
Emma, undeterred, pressed on. “Previously, we stepped back to avoid conflict with Alex’s interests. It’s
time to revisit this. We have the capital to outmatch any competitor.”
The audacity of her plan silenced the room. The idea of overtaking a project already set for another
company was bold, possibly even aggressive.
Wayne, weighing in, expressed his concern about the perception of such a move. “This could be seen
as underhanded, snatching a project at this stage.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Emma’s response was pragmatic. “A delayed project reflects poorly on its current holders. Why should
incompetence be rewarded?”
Her logic resonated. The ethics of business sometimes bowed to the necessity of profit. Wayne,
observing Emma’s newfound assertiveness, nodded in approval.
“We should have claimed this project from the start. It’s time we take it back,” Wayne agreed, his
decision resonating with the majority.
Inga, alone in her dissent, voiced her concern. “Is it worth the potential backlash?”
Emma met Inga’s gaze squarely. “If your objections are personal rather than professional, say so. This
is about profit, not past grievances. We can’t let a vendetta undermine a profitable opportunity.‘
Her reasoning left Inga without a comeback. The room shifted in favor of Emma’s proposal.
Emma’s strategic victory signified her growing influence and ability to navigate the complex dynamics
of corporate power plays. Her decision to reclaim the project, once set aside due to Alex’s interests,
marked a significant shift in her approach to business and personal relationships
