Ria looked down at her phone as she got off the call with the masked man. She was shocked to her bones that he would ask such from her but as she stood there, right in Chris’ office, she knew she was doomed. If she didn't find a way to complete the deal, she might not be able to leave in time. In that case, Chris and butler Rico were bound to discover her involvement with The Reds. “What do I do?” Ria whispered to herself, her heart beating rapidly. For a moment, she regretted what she did, she regretted helping the masked man to get to Chris. She had aided Mr. Deco, the reporter in getting into the press conference venue. If not for her help, they would never let him through, as the gun on his body would have been detected. While she paced in the office, the large smart TV in the office started to ring really and the words flowed smoothly into Ria’s ears. “THE NEW CEO OF THE WEST CONGLOMERATE WAS SHOT DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE HELD IN THE COMPANY.”“THE NEW CEO, CHRIS WESTMINS

“Dodge the bullet!” Butler Rico’s voice was blasting through the device in Chris’ ears. However, the gun was pointed right at Chris’ head, how would he be able to dodge in time? It was all too sudden for Chris and when he saw Deco put his finger on the trigger and the security men tried to rush forward to get the gun from him, Chris did what he could do at that moment. In the next second, he grabbed Deco’s hand and turned the gun away from his head. But then the trigger had already been pulled and there was a loud sound of gunshot in the air. Bang!!And then another….bang!!The whole hall went into an uproar and the reporters scrambled around in fear while some were bold enough to stay and cover the whole scene. Even the security men were in shock and they stood still as the scene before them unfolded.“How dare you…” Deco shouted, pointing straight at Chris. “How dare you dodge?!” He was so angry that Chris had dodged the bullet and now, Deco was left with turmoil and an impend

“Ria is acting so weird.” Chris with his hands in his pocket stared at the glass words of the elevator. His expression was staring right back at him and he was so worried. Rico put a hand on his shoulder, patting it lightly.“Don’t worry.” Butler Rico assured. “As soon as you are done with the press conference, you can talk to her.” Chris nodded and the nervousness of speaking to the members of the press set in. He was a young man and they were definitely going to ask him silly questions and hard ones, in other to test his ability.And when the news hit the public, everyone was going to wonder if he was competent enough. Soon, they got closer to the conference room and the voice of the host flowed into their ears. “Now, let’s welcome the new CEO, Chris Westminster, who will take the West Conglomerate to the highest levels in the world.” Instantly, everyone burst into a round of applause and Chris was tempted to make a joke that they were already high enough and maintaining their l

Ria maintained a smile on her face as she walked straight into Chris’ office. As soon as the door closed behind her, her smile turned into a vicious one, scary and alarming. The skimpy dress she had on was worn intentionally and she was so sure Chris would turn her away if she dressed so provocatively. Swiftly, she sashayed toward Chris’ chair and sat back behind his chair, hissing sinisterly. The suffering she had endured while she was in captivity in the den of The Reds wasn't to be quantified. She felt like her soul left her body and the scar on her face was the last thing she was most pained about. She closed her eyes, reeling in what she went through at the hands of that masked man. “When you go back to him…” The masked man whispered in her ears as he pinned her down to the cold ground of his prison. “Remember that that bastard is the cause of this. If he had protected you well enough, you wouldn't be here suffering in my arms!” His words kept haunting her for the past two

“What do you mean?” Chris asked. “What thoughts? Do you think I despise you for the injury on your face?” He arched a brow at her. Even though her words sounded harmless, he couldn't help but think they had a double meaning. “Don’t think too much, Chris…” She chuckled, waving her hands nonchalantly. “I will be waiting, we will leave together.” She stood up from the desk and sashayed toward the door. As she walked, Chris noticed she was dressed differently, not like the elegant way she used to dress. Now, she wore sexy clothes that showed off her curves and every other thing. He started to wonder if something had gone wrong with her or if she had been affected by her injury. Chris made a mental note to ask the bodyguards and servants assigned to her if they had noticed anything unusual. Thirty minutes later…“It’s time, Chris…” Rico came into the office with an eager look on his face. “Everyone is waiting on you…” “Alright…” Chris finished a few things on his computer before sta

Ria had been discharged from the hospital for two days and things had been calm on The Reds’ side. However, Chris had his eyes on them steadily. “Any move from their side?” Chris asked Rico who stood before his office desk. “None for now.” Rico shook his head. “Like I said, The Reds wouldn't dare to attack us and if they do, they are at a disadvantage.” He assured. “But we can never be too careful…” Chris shook his head worriedly. He had not trained enough yet to lead an attack and he was currently swamped with work. “I know your concerns. All you have to do now is work and head to the base to continue your training. Remember, you said you will achieve your goal in six months. Time flies much more than you think.” Rico said, feeling very concerned about Chris. “Alright.” Chris nodded, with a serious look. “Let’s get things done then. What’s on my schedule?” “You have a press conference soon. Your father wants you to be announced as the CEO.” Rico dropped a bomb on Chris and he l
