"That’s exactly what I’m saying."

"If I leave, Whitaker Group of Companies will go bankrupt."

The moment the words left my lips, the previously silent meeting room erupted.

"Oh my god, this guy is delusional! Whitaker Group of Companies is one of the top 500 companies in the country. How could it collapse because of some insignificant manager?"
