“Let me get back to my presentation. There’s no need for words to be exchanged.” Alex said to try and keep the peace. He didn’t want his mother to be kicked out because rightfully, she shouldn’t be there.“ As I was saying, I, Alex Milton, am set to take the role of CEO. But as it is with every noble role, one must prove his worth and worthiness of assuming the role. It is in this bid that I came to accept the order given to me by the board to undergo a three year business training in order that my interests are aligned with that of the company. And I know that it was a very noble thing to do. Which is why I have come to this assembly to prove my worth to you." He paused and looked around. The board members looked on at Alex, and his mother kept nodding as he talked. She even started recording a video, to which Cade rolled his eyes. Cade rolled his eyes even more at Alex's fake speech. Did official presentations like this even require that much talking that had no relation to what wa

For Mr Sean, the deed had already been done. They had already asked Alex to undergo a training which he did, and make a presentation, which he had just done. It did not matter to him whether or not it was badly done, all he knew was that it was done, and the next step should be taken. He also did not want any more lawsuits, because Alex could be that crazy. And he knew that if he supported Alex now, when Alex became CEO, he would be on Alex’s good side. He didn’t want his position on the board of the conglomerate to be jeopardised. The others were willing to take that risk, but he wasn’t."I don't know, Sean, what do you think he should do? Take the company into more mud than it already is? Alex will ruin us. You were here, same as I was, his presentation was severely flawed." Mr Culkin returned. Sean shook his head and smiled derisively. "Which is why I asked your opinion again. Will making another presentation prove to you that he in fact underwent the training and is fit for the j

After being rejected for the first time in his life by a woman, Alex went to the club to party away the night like the undisciplined, spoilt child he is. He woke up with an extreme hangover the next day and stayed inside for the whole day being nursed by his mother. When it was finally the day for his inauguration as CEO, Alex lay in his bed in silence. His eyes were wide open and he had barely gotten any sleep last night because of the excitement of today's event. Now, at seventeen minutes past eight in the morning, he contained his excitement by being silent. He looked at the wall clock opposite his bed at intervals. Once it was nine, he would start his preparations for today. He knew that starting his preparations by nine would make him late, but he did not mind. He was basically the CEO now, and if they could not wait till he was at the ceremony, that would be their business. His father, Mackenzie had already left for the company earlier with his mother. She had insisted on follo

Her mother came running to Hailey's room thinking she was in some trouble. Since Hailey became pregnant, she had been extra careful with her, and always doted on her to make sure she delivered the millionaire’s baby successfully. "What's the problem, darling?" Her mother asked as she got to Hailey's room. "Look." She said to her mother while pointing at the television with the remote control in her hands. The mother looked, but now the camera was directed at a board member talking. Her mother was confused. What did the man on the television have to do with anything? "What's going on?" She had to ask to be sure she was not missing anything. "Just keep watching, mom." "Okay?" Mrs Bellwether was puzzled and had an amused look on her face. She watched as Hailey said, and after a minute, the camera was on Cade again. It was then that Mrs Bellwether got the message Hailey was trying to pass. It was Dennis on the screen. "Dennis?" She asked, more confused now. "Yes, mom," Hailey

“You can’t make demands like that. You’re not even a board member, but you seem to keep forgetting your place just because we let you be part of some meetings out of courtesy.” Gale said to Cassandra.“It’s fine, Gale.” Cade said with a smile and everyone turned to him, even his mother was surprised that he wanted to agree to Cassandra’s term.“She’s right. I’ve been away for a long time. It’s only proper that we let the board members decide if they still trust me enough to lead the company as I have done in the past. A vote is fine with me.”Gale stared at Cade with an incredulous look. But the look that Cade gave to Gale was trying to tell Gale to trust him. “Okay then if both parties consent, we shall have a vote.” Mr Kieran said. Alex wriggled uneasily in his seat. Even though this was his mother’s idea, he was very sure that he had created a wrong impression of himself to the board members already and did not stand a chance at being the chosen candidate to be made CEO. He tugge
