Dove exhaled slowly, tilting her head slightly before offering him a small, knowing smile.
"And yet," she said smoothly, "the company is still standing, isn't it?"
Noah tensed. "That's not the point, CEO Dove."
Dove chuckled lightly, though there was no real humor in it. "No, Noah, that's exactly the point. If I thought this move would truly jeopardize the company, I wouldn't have done it."
Noah opened his mouth to argue, but Dove cut him off before he could get a word out.
"Trust me—you and the other shareholders," she said, her tone calm but firm. "I know what I'm doing."
Noah sighed, pressing his fingers lightly against the bridge of his nose. He closed his eyes briefly before opening them again, his gaze settling on Dove, a trace of helplessness in his expression.
