Looking at the clock on the wall, she noticed that it was past seven.
It was already dark outside. However, Aaron still had not returned. Ximena felt quite bored after a long time waiting, so she turned on the TV. To while away the time, she skipped from channel to channel at random.
”The latest news on the Leng's Corporations, received from insiders familiar with the matter, is that the purpose of the ad hoc shareholders general meeting held today, is not to report on the group's project funding as was initially declared, but rather to select the group's new CEO.” The headline also flashed as a caption at the bottom of the screen while the reporter continued speaking.
