At first, yeah—everyone had been shocked.
Justin Black taking over Black Veil? They could deal with that, even if some still thought he was just a PR nightmare with a trust fund and an expensive suit.
But this?
Chloe Reynolds as CEO?
That was a different story.
And then that damn employee survey dropped online—aired on media, splashed all over social feeds. Opinions about the new leadership? Expectations? Doubts?
Yeah, they'd gotten calls—higher-ups, execs, even the rank-and-file employees. Some had been skeptical, others bracing for the worst.
But then came the real kicker—
Chloe had called them personally.
Like, not some generic corporate email. Not a PR statement. Not a speech. She had literally picked up the damn phone and called people. And just like that, doubts started melting faster than ice cubes in the Vegas heat.
Because if there was one person they trusted, it was Chloe.
And now?
Now they were here, watching it actually happen.
