Chapter 31
“Welcome, Mr Lambert.” Rebecca greeted with a warm smile on her face, her iPad folded to her chest.“Rebecca. How're you?”“Fine.” She answered with a pep in her tone. “But you…you don't look so good.”Sean scrubbed a hand over his face at the reminder. Last night, he barely managed to get a lick of sleep, brainstorming options to get out of his current predicament. “Gee, I feel so much better now,” he commented dryly.Rebecca looked around before lowering her voice. “I know that things have been going on with the company and all but I believe that everything's going to work out.”Sean nodded, slightly comforted by her words. “Thank you.”“That being said, we have a ton of work waiting for us.” Rebecca flashed a smile, launching into the series of meetings she had planned out for him.She turned around to pick something up but as she wanted to face him, she managed to collide with a tall, skinny guy who just kept moving without even stopping to check on her.“Hey!” Sean called out but

Sean couldn't get over what Clement said to him in his office.Surely, Caesar wouldn't be that mad that he would ask Sean to leave. Besides, he might be the head of the family but that doesn't give him the right to lord it over everyone.Giving into the allegations lobbies at him isn't an option, neither is being sent away from the family.Sean was barely settling in.That thought process gave him the energy he needed to work harder.Thanks to Rebecca's quick thinking, Sean was able to divert his search into something more hands on.If Amelia and her parents weren't cooperating, then the next person would be their representative.It was a hassle to get through to the lawyer, despite the fact that Rebecca had to lie about it but after a couple days of talking, he managed to fix a lunch appointment with Rebecca.Although he was going to be disappointed because Sean planned to show up himself.“Forward important calls to me, I'm leaving.” He told Rebecca, strolling past her desk.Thankfu

“If I were you, I would be very careful of my words Mr Lambert,” Mark said slowly, interlocking his fingers in front of him. “Between you and I, I would reckon you stand more to lose than I do if this goes south.” Mark held his gaze and took a swig from his glass. “So what's it gonna be? Are you going to sit down and talk or throw around threats?”He was right, and Sean hated it.Mark might not know how much he had to lose if Amelia and her parents had their way but the obvious was quite damaging already.The business world ran on trust, pure and simple.If one person decides to go into business with you, it simply means he or she trusts in your track record and business acumen to ensure that you don't fuck it up.As small as that might seem, that's what keeps major companies running. The moment that trust is gone, so does the credibility of the company and things go downhill from there.Sean had an obligation, not only to the family but to the thousands of staff that they employed wh

“The day everyone's been waiting for has finally arrived. Please join me, let me take you through this event.” The news reporter droned from the TV, backing the entrance to a courthouse. “Today, two families will be going head to head in a court battle, trying to figure out who is the liar amongst them. They are none other than the Cruz,” the camera moved to show Amelia, Mina mad Jason walking up the stairs to the courthouse. The reporter was smart, incepting them before they could get past the door. “Do you have anything you wish to say? Maybe to your fans or people watching…” Mina took the lead, her children backing her up. She looked stunning in a floor-length cashmere blue gown with sparkles all around and her face beat to perfection. “Well, first of all, I would like to say a big thank you to our supporters and people who believed in us. The truth will always prevail, no matter how much they want to shut us down.” Finished with her speech, Mina thanked the reporter and went into

Nothing tastes quite as good except the feeling of victory thrumming through your veins, and that pumped through Seans, keeping him invigorated all week after the news came out.The Cruz family went into hiding and Sean even overheard that they had been banned from some social gatherings.Ha, that served them right!Sean threw himself back into work, more excited to get new work out. He worked so hard that he almost ran Rebecca to the ground.He had to give her two days off to recover while he hung back at the office, going over some documents.Currently, Sean had a lot of projects he was working on but keeping in line with his mission, he tried to be up to date on each, making sure he went through the daily updates being sent to him.It was through that, that he discovered what went wrong.The Atlas project was finalized and sent to Rebecca who was supposed to get approval so they could begin working immediately but now…it was lying on his desk, a large red sign on it.Sean was confu

Moriah stood up, feeling attacked. “I still don't understand why you're coming to me with this, Sean.”Sean scoffed. “Is that supposed to be a joke? You're the only one who can help me.”She threw her hands up in the air. “Urgh, it's just one project, Sean. You have like thirty others that have been approved…why don't you go on with that one and leave this one?”He squinted. “Is there a reason you're being so evasive?”“No.” She looked away. “I'm just saying that you need to forget about Atlas, is all.”“I have a ton of people depending on me for this project to work and now after all my efforts, you're telling me to let that go?”She looked him square in the eye. “That's exactly what I'm telling you.”“You're the fucking CEO, why can't you do something?” He yelled, frustrated.“I'm sorry Sean, but you need to leave. I have things to do.”“But-”“Go. Now.” His loving mother was gone, replaced by the stern businesswoman who was well respected.Sean grabbed the copy of Atlas and stormed

Sean took off his sunglasses when he arrived at Rebecca's little cubicle outside his office. She stood up the minute she spotted him. “Good morning, Mr Lambert!”Sean only shook his head, leaning an elbow on the edge of her desk. “You know you can call me Sean, right?”“I do, sir but Mr Lambert has a nice ring to it.” She joked.He chuckled, tucking the sunglasses into his breast pocket. “So what do you have lined up for me today?”He pushed says, walking briskly into his office with Rebecca droning on, listing out the events scheduled out for him.“You have a meeting with Ms. Alberta at 2 pm, it's supposed to be for the coupons you agreed to give out and then Mr Cooper, from Initiatives.” She scrolled up on her tablet, jumping up in surprise. “Ooh, that reminds me…the meeting you wanted so badly finally came through, he mashed to squeeze you in by 4.”“What meeting?” Sean took a seat behind his desk, powering up his computer.“With the CEO, sir,” Rebecca replied making his head snap

Sean blinked rapidly to be sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him but no…Clement was still standing in front of him with a smug look on his face. “What the hell is going on? Is this some prank?”“Now, why would I prank you brother?” He spat out the last word like it was so distasteful. Shoving his hands into his pockets, Clement spread his feet. “You asked to see the CEO, here I am. What do you want?”Sean ran a hand through his hair, messing up the slicked-back hairstyle he took minutes to achieve. “I don't believe you. Where is he huh?” Sean looked around, walking towards the bathroom door and jerking it open. “Where's the CEO?”Clement resisted the urge to roll his eyes at how Sean was behaving. “He's standing right across from you, but I'm guessing that's not what you want to hear, is it?”“There is no way they made you of all people the head of this company!” Finding no one in the bathroom, he pulled out his phone, searching for Moriah's contact. “Moriah will tell me the tru

“How could he?” Sean exploded once he was in the confines of his office. He tossed the file to the ground, deeply upset.Rebecca rushed into his office when she heard the noise, grimacing when she saw the mess on the floor. She didn't need to ask how the meeting went, since his face was an obvious indication.Sean whirled around. “Did you know? Did you about Clement?”It all made sense now. Why everyone including Moriah, his mother didn't want to tell him that Clement was the fucking CEO!Rebecca shook her head, genuinely confused. “Sir, I have no idea what you're talking about. I take it the meeting didn't go well.”Sean snorts, still pacing. “Of course it didn't! I should have known something was wrong when everyone kept insisting I leave it alone. It turns out that Clement is the new CEO, and he rejected the Atlas project.”Rebecca's mouth fell open in shock, her hands coming up to cover her mouth. “Really?! I had no idea.”“Yeah. Neither did I.” He spat out bitterly.The last thin

The shrill ring of his alarm woke him up.“Urghhhh…” Sean groaned, covering his ears with an extra pillow while he blindly reached out to stop the alarm from buzzing.It took a couple of tries but he finally got the annoying sound to stop.It took another five minutes before Sean was able to convince his body that it was time to get out of bed.Then after splashing some cold water on his face, it seemed to jolt his brain.Sean went through his systematic daily routine. Shower, brush, exfoliate, and then padded downstairs.A simple breakfast of bread and toast with hot coffee got him ready for the day.Once he got to the parking lots, he tossed his keys to the security guard and walked up the stairs and straight into the elevator. The minute he stepped foot into this building, his brain was already working overtime, eager to pick up from where he left off yesterday.The elevator doors opened and he walked, heading straight for his office.People greeted him as he walked past, making hi
