Carlo Tan was shocked with what Stephen had told him. It wasn’t what he had expected at all. “When I said goodbye to Robert and Edward that day, I didn’t think that I wouldn’t see them again.” Stephen sighed as he looked out the window and recalled that night. “I was furious at my father because of the announcement. I couldn’t believe that he had made the announcement so publicly with my mother in attendance.” “The young master was inconsolable after we heard about what had happened, he refused to believe the news.” Carlo Tan informed Stephen. Stephen nodded, he recalled how he stormed out of the venue and drove like a mad man. How his uncle had asked the driver to take him home, he was lucky he realized that he was too mad and walked out of the car. So many details of what had happened that day had been ignored by Stephen at that time. He was blinded by rage, all he wanted to do was to get away from his father, to move on from that announcement and to prove to his grandfather tha

“I never believed that you were dead.” Eldrich Cho was already in his seventies, but he continued to have a strong and powerful aura around him. Over the years Stephen had seen him in the news, he may no longer be involved in the management of the business, but he could still influence it greatly. “How come, grandfather?” Stephen asked as he felt his and his grandfather’s auras battling it out in the small space. “Because you aren’t some weak kid that could be killed by a car accident.” Eldrich Cho chuckled. “Plus your uncle has been acting oddly ever since your father announced that you had died in a car accident.” Stephen nodded as he took in everything Eldrich Cho had to say. “Uncle William saved me.” Stephen kept his head down as he tried to seem like he owed William Cho his loyalty. “You can’t fool me boy.” Eldrich Cho suddenly said. “Don’t pretend you are his pawn, I can see right through you.” Stephen grinned at his grandfather and shook his head. “Young Master.” Mr. K

“This is crazy!” Vanessa exclaimed as a waiter entered, bringing their food to them. While the waiter was there, Vanessa and Stephen were both quiet, not wanting to speak about Stephen’s new job. When the waiter finally left, Stephen began to explain things. “I met with Master Cho, he’s an old family friend, someone from my past.” Stephen scrambled to find an acceptable explanation. “Master Cho?” Vanessa asked, wide eyed with shock. “Why would Master Cho want to see his company destroyed? Stephen, are you sick or something?” Stephen sighed and shook his head. “Master Cho would rather see his company crumble rather than to hand it to one of his sons.” Stephen told Vanessa. “He wanted to pass it to his grandson, but the guy died.” “And what? He wants you to act like the dead guy?!” Vanessa was practically shouting at this point. “This is crazy Stephen!” “Vanessa calm down, I’m not going to act as anyone I’m not.” Stephen tried to calm her. “Then what?” Vanessa asked. Stephen

 Stephen and Amanda went through most of the floors quickly, skipping most of them since Stephen wouldn’t be interacting with the people there. By the time they reached the thirtieth floor where the operations team was assigned, Stephen was already quite tired as he tried to absorb every bit of information Amanda offered. “Here we are!” Amanda said excitedly as she stepped out of the elevator and Stephen followed her.  “This floor and the one below is occupied by the operations department, there are quite a lot of employees working on the operations of Cho Industries.” Amanda said with a smile as she led Stephen through the hall.  “You were hired as an assis

Eventually, Stephen and the others managed to escape the chatty Kyle Choi with Andrwe Wong and Michael Ho frowning at the guy. “Why didn’t you tell him that you’re our new boss?” Andrew Wong asked Stephen when they finally made it to the elevator with Natalia Wu, Carissa Tan, and Amanda. “Tell who? What did we miss?” Carissa Tan asked as she looked at the three men. “Kyle Choi came up to us with rumors about our new boss.” Michael Ho said, laughing at the situation. It seemed he had managed to recover from the initial embarrassment. “Oh, what did he say when you told him Stephen was our new boss?” Carissa asked, giggling and eager to find out what had happe
