As at 3:50 pm., the conference hall buzzed with anticipation.
Rows of reporters filled the space, their cameras aimed toward the empty podium at the front. Laptops were open, fingers hovering over keyboards, ready to type out every word spoken.
Microphones from various media outlets lined the stage, waiting to capture what would be Ethan Grayson's second public appearance.
"He's finally coming out of hiding," one reporter murmured, adjusting his camera.
"I bet he's just trying to save face," another scoffed. "This whole thing is a PR move."
"Well, what else can he do? The company's image is hanging by a thread after that video."
The whispers and hushed speculations filled the room, blending into an unsteady hum of voices.
No one knew what to expect, but they all knew one thing, Ethan Grayson's words today could either salvage his reputation or ruin him entirely.
