"You!" Roberto’s question hit a raw nerve in Richard, but he was unable to speak.There was no way he could reveal Adam’s position as President just because of a minor argument.“We’re not here for that, Mr Walters. Kindly have your seat and let’s begin the meeting!" Ernestine butted in quickly. Adam didn’t miss the looks of derision coming from Sean, Garrett and Max.Handing the mic over to Richard, the meeting began.“Good day, everyone. Like I wrote in the email, I called this meeting for a very crucial situation.” Richard began. “This is a matter that threatens the overall reputation of our company and must be dealt with the utmost urgency.”“Can we get it already?” Max interrupted rudely.Richard ignored him. “I’ll have the secretary distribute the set of documents right away.”“Now, this is a financial audit of Walters Corporations finances starting from 2 years ago. This audit was carried out by Mr Carson and a certified accountant." Richard explained. "Like it is reported, a

The conference hall was silent for what felt like an eternity. "Mr Vice President. What do you have to say about all the allegations leveled against you?" Ernestine and the other board members asked, their faces scrunched up in contempt. Sean, Max and Garrett stood behind Roberto, looking all smug. They had been caught red-handed and there was virtually no escape! "Senior Walters handed you this position not because you're his blood relative, because this is a business not a generational inheritance! He gave you this position because he trusted that you will secure it and improve the company's overall performance, but what have you done?""Brought in cheaters, conniving with them to steal and embezzled our funds! Is this what your father taught you? To ruin all what he and Senior Walters have worked so hard to maintain?"Roberto could only grit his teeth in anger. He hated whenever anyone mentions his father in any conversation. "It's least to say we're disappointed with you. This

Roberto sat on a swivel chair opposite his maternal uncle, a playful expression on his face. "I've told you countless times to stop coming over here anytime you like, Rob. I am a busy man." Uncle Albert scolded him, though there was a small smile on his face. "I love being here, and I know you're always happy to see your favorite nephew." Roberto smiled, getting up to inspect the awards in the cabinet. "Most out-standing Inspector General of Colorado Police Force." He read out the label. "When were you awarded this?""Sometimes last week," Albert replied. "Why didn't you tell me, Uncle. How could I have missed your award ceremony!""Well it happened during the inauguration of the new Governor. You were too bothered about some creep coming to take over your company so I didn't want to get your attention off." Albert consoled him. "Well, guess why I'm here again?" Roberto returned back to the table. "Because of that creep, right?" Albert sat up. "You still haven't told me the full

Adam gave Richard one last nod before stepping into the office. Roberto, Sean, Max and Garrett were already seated on a round table. "Here I was thinking you might decide not to show up." Roberto chuckled sarcastically as they settled down. "This is an important meeting held between the company's executives, but I'll first love to invite you all to my fiancee's birthday party to be held this weekend." Roberto passed the IV cards to everyone of them. Adam gritted when he saw the name. It was his ex-wife, Seraphina Hemsworth's birthday party. 2 weeks ago, he'd been working hard cultivating herbs in order to raise money to get an appropriate gift for her. Now, she was engaged to be married to someone else already. "Can we cut to the chase already!" Adam snapped, squeezing the card angrily. A sinister smirk crossed Roberto's lips. "Calm the hell down.""First, we have to turn in our bi-weekly reports and brainstorm ways which we can increase the company's performance." Roberto sai

Adam drove into the Hemsworths mansion right on time. Today was Seraphina's birthday party, and the atmosphere testified to that. He managed to get a parking space amongst several luxury sport cars before getting down from his car. The halls were decorated all the way from the gates, with red carpets used to usher important guests into the hall. Adam flashed his IV at the security guard, making his way into the mansion.With the look the guard gave him, he was sure this IV was the lowest class. This was the first time he was getting into this place after the divorce. The hall bustled with a lot of people from all calibers of life, most of them high class and high achieving individuals. An exquisite food buffet was arranged to the right, alongside expensive bottles of wine and drinks. People mingled, laughed and chatted under the bright lights and eye-catching decorations. He had to give it to Roberto, he really put in a lot of effort to impress Seraphina. Adam was trying to
