Max gave a slow smile at the threat and leaned back in his chair, as he steepled his fingers and said lightly "There seems to be a slight misunderstanding."
Mr. James frowned. "What kind of misunderstanding could there be, Max? The vote was unanimous. You've been removed. It's over. Naturally, you should leave."
A faint chuckle escaped Max. "Oh, I don't doubt the vote was unanimous," he said, nodding as if amused by the whole thing. "But we haven't quite followed the agenda, have we?"
That caught their attention. The men exchanged uncertain looks.
Max reached out, tapping his fingers against the paper in front of him. "If you recall, there were three points on the agenda. 'Review of current leadership and company performance,' 'Proposal for restructuring of the board,' and finally, 'Voting on motion to remove the CEO.'"
