Businesswoman Chapter 168

MasterMind Classes set a premium on their content. $600 a year got a prospective student the full ride to online education glory. The CEO, Sylvania Crowthers, had set the tempo. She snapped up photographers, chefs, tennis legends, filmmakers, painters, yogis, and even a funeral director. Her abilities to gather such talent remained in her senses. Excellence exuded out of all of these individuals. When she needed an entrepreneur to teach business, Loreen Breen had been her top pick. She sat in her office adorned with awards and trophies. Loreen accepted a cup of some of the finest coffee in the world.

“Thank you,” Loreen accepted the hot beverage.

“My pleasure.” She jumped right into it. “It’s been six weeks and the numbers are off the charts. You’ve sold over five hundred thousand full subscriptions in that time. You’re a power house, a rock star…but you knew that already.”

Loreen sipped and nodded in quiet confidence.

“I want you to be part of the board of directors. There’s little money, but you will have another board in your dossier,” Sylvania smiled.

“No.”

“No?”

“I don’t want to do it,” Loreen admitted. “Thank you, though.”

“Why not?”

“I’ve got enough stress. I would help this company out, but I’m a part of the Classes. That’s all I want to do.”

Sylvania sat down in her seat after having shot to her feet. “We’re paying you half a billion dollars with ninety million guaranteed. You’re a star like I said. With you on the board, you would be even more in control of your destiny with this firm.” She squirmed only slightly and winced.

“I hear you talking. I just want to teach and help mold the minds of the next generation of entrepreneurs.”

“I will have to respect your final decision then.”
