“Come with me, Sean Zachary, to my residence where you will be honored as the new overseer of Globalsphere Conglomerate.” A smile crept up on her face after the sudden and unexpected announcement.
All the customers seated in the eatery exclaimed in bewilderment. The Chairwoman had just asked a waiter to become the new head of a powerful conglomerate in Seattle City! What was she thinking? Didn't she have many grandsons?
Sean, on the other hand, chuckled. Those statements sounded like jokes to his ears. What did she say he would become? A new head of Globalsphere conglomerate? What a fantasy! That kind of fantasy that would only happen in dreams.
Therefore, his following response came as a question that was filled with extreme doubt. “Excuse me, ma'am. Are you sure of what you're saying? I am not related to you anyway. As a matter of fact, I am just a waiter here. Why do you need me?” He deliberately didn't make mention of her last sentence. He would have sworn that the Chairwoman had mistaken him for anyone else who wasn't him. Perhaps there was someone who related to her, and shared the same name with him.
However, the Chairwoman beamed because she understood how he felt. Naturally, she didn't expect him to accept the offer at once, as it was astounding. Still, she was determined not to listen to his excuses because she had never been this sure in her life.
“I am sure of myself, Sean. You may think you aren't one of us, but you are. Come with me into the mansion for assumption of office. This place doesn't belong to you.” The Chairwoman so stretched out her hand that he might slip his in. She watched his countenance carefully and assumed that it would be a difficult thing to convince the young man.
Thus, she was patient enough to wait until he reluctantly slipped his calloused hand into hers. His face was filled with doubt as he swung to his friend whose demeanor portrayed envy. All the suppressed hatred he felt for Sean was portrayed on his face. But, Sean Zachary was so foolish to notice any unusual thing about him.
“Don’t leave. They might want to harm you. They might be bad and harmful people.” Mason warned sternly when he took notice of the Chairwoman’s tender gaze on Sean. It greatly annoyed him that Sean, who was as poor as him, was treated like he belonged to a wealthy family. To him, Sean ought to remain miserable and terrible in all things and that was it.
Sean Zachary, who had full confidence in his friend, started to retreat his steps to move from the Chairwoman Elizabeth wasn't able to do as he wished, for the Chairwoman' s hold got even stronger.
“If the young man truly cares for you, why then shouldn't he be invited at the inauguration ceremony? What do you think, Steve?” The Chairwoman Elizabeth, directed her eyes at the man next to her. The man nodded in affirmation.
“Yes, madam.”
Hence, that day, after Sean agreed to their quests, they drove down to the Chairwoman's residence, which was popularly called the Arnault Mansion. This mansion was located on the Arnault Estate, which was one of the biggest and highly constructed estates in the whole city.
The convoy drove into the first building that was resided by the Chairwoman and her oldest grandsons. Ever since her beloved husband and sons died respectively, the Chairwoman then took in all her grandsons and trained them. However, as they become mature, they start to leave one after the other, either by relocating to one of the houses on the estate, or to a different city entirely.
It was only the first two grandsons who had no choice but to remain after she had designated important positions for them. Back to the present, the drivers were the first people to alight and opened the doors of the car for the Chairwoman and Sean Zachary.
In silence, they headed for the entrance of the building and sauntered in with a great number of servants bowing their heads to welcome them into the mansion. At this time, Sean began to think of himself as a person who had just won a jackpot.
There was hardly no one in the entire city who was ignorant of the astronomical wealth that belonged to the Arnault family. However, as he studied the components of the mansion, he concluded that no one would estimate the exact riches the Arnault family had until they saw it with their own eyes.
“Hey, come!” One of the men waved at Sean, who couldn't get enough of the beauty in the mansion. So then, Sean quickened his pace and soon caught up with them. In the large living room, there were the two grandsons of the Chairwoman drinking heavily with four sluts grinding their buttocks into their groins. The sight was so irritating that the Chairwoman had to scream for them to cease the barbaric act.
Thinking that the Chairwoman was alone, they swerved their bodies only to have the greatest shock of their lives. The Chairwoman wasn't just with her two right-hand men but also with a strange man. Like flash, they zipped up their trousers, jumped from the sofas, while the whores scurried out of the building like scared rats.
“I didn't give you great opportunities that you might misuse them. If you really wish to have whores to yourselves, why don't you visit a hotel? As you can see, this act brought shame and reproach to me. I can't see why you two don't want to become useful. Should I take back all that I handed to you? Answer me!” The Chairwoman bellowed to the speechless young men.
She was beyond frustrated and angry. Her heart boiled with vexation. It was like a slap to her face to have met her oldest grandsons fornicating before everyone. Why couldn't they get a room for goodness’s sake?
When will they learn not to behave like senseless people? But then, she was glad that she wasn't going to entrust the conglomerate into their care. If not, they would have thrown the business empire into liquidation and shortage of funds within the next few months.
Eventually, sitting on one of the chairs, she bravely announced to them that the new head of Globalsphere conglomerate had been chosen by her.
The two foolish men who thought it would surely be one of them brightened their faces until their grandmother beckoned the mysterious young man standing at their backs. It was only then they got full recognition of him.He was a young man dressed in a faded purple T-shirt and trousers. His brown hair, although neatly curled, lacked the glow it ought to have had. His grey eyes, pointed nose, and V-shaped face. Ultimately, he was a fine man, but that was the least of their worries.“Don’t get it twisted. How is it possible for me to make you head of a great conglomerate when I just caught you doing an abnormal act? If it were so, the conglomerate wouldn't last a month in your hands. Therefore, this man here will be the new head. Why am I telling you this?” The Chairwoman Elizabeth, suddenly added and quickly turned to her right-hand man, Steve, and snapped her fingers, laying down orders.“Take the young man to the designated apartment to be dressed appropriately for the upcoming cerem
While they did so, their eyes darted to and fro in search for the next head of the conglomerate. Unknown to them, the tall and handsome young man beside the Chairwoman was whom they sought. After exchanging pleasantries with one another, they all took different elevators that led to the general hall. All this time, Sean couldn't help but shudder at the magnificent sight that was before him. The headquarters was much bigger than rumored. Almost everything was made of glass, except the marble floors. And also judging the manner the workers concentrated on performing their jobs, Sean concluded it wasn't one of those companies whose employees are hypotrical. Back to the present, in the general hall, everyone had already taken their seats excluding Sean Zachary, whose eyes roamed around the hall, unable to do anything until Steve whispered into his ears for him to sit down. Immediately he did, a few journalsits and pressmen then rushed inside in order to take photographs of the importan
He was so good at hiding his fear and quickly dashed off before they could realize anything. The two young men watched Sean's retreating back in utter amazement. They wondered where the young man had gotten the boldness from. Was it as a result of the new position in the conglomerate?Brandon scoffed and adjusted his legs. He chose to remain quiet during the comeback of his elder brother with the man because he didn't see any need to interfere in their discussion. And again, exchanging words with the masquerader might be reduce his standards. “We just have to retaliate quietly and deal with the fool in an unexpected way. Yelling at him won't lead to anything. These kinds of people deserve to be taken unaware.” Brandon urged his brother. His words seemed appealing to Garrett's ears. Judging by his encounter with Sean a few minutes ago, it was obvious that he was a very stiff-necked man who would expect things in his direction. Even things that aren't met for him. “I agree with you,
The moment her large beautiful eyes finally found him, she popped out her lips unintentionally. This was beyond her imagination. The cameras and photographs didn't do justice to capturing the young man well.The young man was like a heavenly being. She could swear on that. She had never seen someone as handsome as he was, yet he seemed not to have a clue about how hot he looked. Sexy, hot and cute at the same time. Her brain was in a turmoil and bubbled with a strange feeling.What would she do when he kept staring at her down the stairs? After succeeding in diverting her gaze, she took the first staircase, but missed a step, thereby causing her to stumble on her feet. She would have rolled down the stairs if she hadn't held onto the banister. This little action made everyone look in her direction.“I’m fine, mom. I'm good. I haven't fallen down, at least not yet.” She joked and all the listeners laughed except Sean, who found it uninteresting. If there was anything he wished for, i
“Permit me to say it was a slip of the tongue. He is not a waiter. Disregard anything he uttters. He is merely overwhelmed with excitement.” Steve chipped in to save the situation. The Chairwoman turned to him with a grateful smile. If he hadn't stepped in, she wondered what would have happened. However, Patrick squinted one of his eyes in suspicion. He could tell that something was fishy because he was not a gullible person. Since the time he met the Chairwoman she hadn't mentioned anything about making a low-class man the new head of the Globalsphere conglomerate. They all believed the man would be from a reputable family.“It doesn't really matter if he is a waiter or not. Nonetheless, his work as the head of a business empire kick-starts today. Hence, he should be fully prepared come what may. That being said, here is my daughter. She is a student of Seattle University and a famous fashion model. You might have probably seen her on the screen.” Patrick Parkersburg bragged and tu
The conglomerate had been their prime interest since they were born. Each of them wanted to take over the business empire in order to oppress the rest.“These explanations are not valid, Chairwoman Elizabeth. If you aren't going to do what is necessary by choosing one of us instead of picking a church rat over us, we will take laws into our hands. You cannot just pick any man from anywhere to rule one of the major properties of the Arnault family. It is an abomination. Heed to our complaints and save yourself from impending troubles that will arise soon.” Caleb Arnault, the Chairwoman 's fifth grandson cautioned. He was the only person who would talk to the Chairwoman as if to his peers. He had little or no respect for the elderly woman. When he finished speaking, the Chairwoman arose and dusted the edges of her long skirt, which meant that she was done conversing with them because she had seen that the discussion would lead to no end. So then she decided to put an end to it herself
Adam watched all this and scoffed with disdain. What preferential treatment given to a nobody!Nevertheless, he walked into the mansion because the Chairwoman wasn't whom he came for, but Brandon Arnault.Meanwhile, the two cars arrived safely at the Globalsphere conglomerate almost an hour later. Sean and Steve alighted, and scanned the environment. A great number of workers could be seen rushing into the building like in hot pursuit. The manner at which they ran earned a chuckle from Sean. He still found it unbelievable that he would be managing such a large number of people at his young age. “Boss, let's walk in. This way please.” Steve spoke into his thoughts and led the way into the building. Entering, Sean Zachary was told to have his name written on a register along with the time he appeared at work. This has been a routine since the creation of the conglomerate. It was done in order to keep a track record of the leader. The elevator was the next place they stepped in. In t
Steve picked up the remote control, turned on the projector, and navigated the menus. Soon, a picture of two similar energy drinks popped on the screen. Aside from the colors, it was so hard to differentiate between the two products. Steve had to zoom the picture before Sean could see it clearly. Yet, they all looked alike.“And do you know what the most miserable part is? The NovaCorp manufactured this canned energy drink in four different colors and ours is included. So the possibility of winning this particular case is very slim. When we compared the taste of each drink, they tasted the same! The exact same size of can was used, the label placement had no difference. Frankly speaking, if we lose this case, the conglomerate will be shaken in terms of finance. Billions of dollars will be used as compensation for NovaCorp, which is their expectations,”Steve muttered.Instantly, Sean arose from his chair and said, “Let’s go to the company. You need not to be sad. As long they remain gu
Sean and Steve later left Snacksation company for the Arnault Estate since the day was far gone. When they stepped into the mansion, they met the Chairwoman discussing with Adams Arnault, her fourth grandson. Their eyes locked when they heard approaching footsteps. The Chairwoman turned away from Adam to Sean and Steve standing just behind the settee. “Welcome home, Sean. Come and have your seat, and you too, Steve.” She directed her right hand to the two empty settees in front of her. The duo sat down obediently, but Adams arose and requested to leave the room immediately. The Chairwoman agreed, and he walked away while the others watched him till he was out of their sight. “Adams came to see you earlier this morning, but I told him of your absence. I thought he had left, but I am shocked to have met him with you. Did he really wait until you returned?” Steve asked. The Chairwoman chuckled. “Of course not. While I was in the car, I saw him strolling round the estate with Brandon,
In a minute, she was able to find lists of transactions that took place in the company for the past two months. “I have seen them. Here they are. These are the names of the customers who bought wristwatches for two months.” Felicia turned the computer to Sean and Steve. One after the other, they looked down the names of the customers who transacted on the screen. All of a sudden, Sean saw a name that looked very familiar.“Isn’t that Davidson Rogers? What is his name doing here?” Sean exclaimed, attracting Steve to look at the screen a little closer. Indeed, it was Davidson Rogers's name! It was shocking news to everybody. “Felicia, did you know anything about this?” Sean asked the woman, who was also amazed by this revelation. She looked at Sean like he had grown two heads for asking such a ridiculous question. How would she know? Would she have sat down to read each transaction slip every single day? She had no time for this.“I didn't know either. Due to my tight schedule, I wasn
They reached their car and headed for Rectaxs company. During the drive, Steve suddenly asked Sean a question. “Do you know why I asked you not to allow his assistant to follow us?”Sean shook his head negatively. “No, why?”Steve gulped. “Davidson is not someone to be trusted. In as much as we try to blame SavorCorp for the attack, Davidson might turn out to be the masterplanner.”Sean, who was staring ahead, looked at him immediately. He couldn't believe Steve would say such a thing. To him, Davidson Rogers didn't look like someone who would deceive others. He looked like a well behaved man.“What, Steve? How could you say that? Davidson Rogers would never do such a thing. I fully believe that SavorCorp company committed the crime. If Davidson carried out the act, he would be manipulating himself. You know that, right?” Sean tried to defend the man he had only met for less than a hour. Upon hearing Sean's statements, Steve smiled pitifully. He quickly realized that his master was
But Davidson Rogers had no blink of hope in his eyes.“We did check the CCTV cameras that were installed in and outside the distribution center, but came up with nothing because the robbers were all dressed in black hoodies, nose masks, and dark shades.” He sighed heavily. As a matter of fact, this was the first action he took when he arrived at the distribution center early that morning. He checked and rechecked the CCTV footage for anything, but his hope was crashed because the four hoodlums were of the same height, heavily clothed, showing no skin, and the color of their clothes was black. On the other hand, Sean and Steve were unsatisfied by his explanations. They believed they could still catch up with something. “Can we see the CCTV footage? I don't think we will miss anything. They must have made a mistake at a certain time,” Sean inquired. Davidson Rogers nodded at one of the men beside him. The man exited the conference room and returned a few minutes later with a laptop.
Steve picked up the remote control, turned on the projector, and navigated the menus. Soon, a picture of two similar energy drinks popped on the screen.
