CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO – PREGNANCY HORMONES

As they left the boardroom, both Miguel and Karina felt a weight lift from their shoulders. They had won this battle, but the war was far from over. Over the next few weeks, Miguel and Karina threw themselves into their counteroffensive against Richard Hartman. Miguel worked closely with the legal team, building a solid case for defamation. He also took charge of external communications, giving interviews and making public statements that highlighted the company's strengths and innovations. Karina, meanwhile, focused on internal matters. She implemented new communication strategies to keep employees informed and motivated. She also spearheaded a series of team-building exercises designed to boost morale and foster a sense of unity within the company. One evening, as they were working late in Miguel's office, Karina looked up from her laptop with a tired smile. "I think we're making progress. Employee satisfaction scores are up 10% since last month." Miguel nodded, rubbing his eyes.
