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, Brandon. The Chairwoman must not know of our plots against him. He took what was ours and so then needs to be punished severely.” Garrett laughed ferociously.
At Sean's end, a minute after he left the two brothers in the passage, he bumped into Steve who had been moving around searching for him. It was time for them to visit a particular wealthy family when he couldn't meet Sean in the hall. He had to walk round in circles until he caught sight of Sean taking the flight of stairs at the side of the building.
“Sean! I have looked round for you! Where have you been? Quick, the Chairwoman is in the car.” Steve grabbed his hands and rushed towards the occupied car park.
Within two minutes, they reached the place, and Steve gently pushed Sean into the car. Although it was a gentle push, Sean had his brown hair tangled with the car. Steve then had to carefully remove it before Sean could hop inside. Seated just beside him was the stony-faced Chairwoman who continuously tapped her feet impatiently. She didn't seem to be pleased at all.
Suddenly she swung to Sean and commanded, “If anybody asks about your past, do not say anything, but just walk away or do something else. Don't tell them anything that pertains your life. The more silent you are, the earlier they get tired of their queries. I am saying this because I have the conviction that it might begin anytime soon.” The Chairwoman pressed her lips against each other. She was anxious.
She had been in that position ever since one of her arch enemies showed up at the party and promised to unveil Sean's identity and the hidden secrets of the Arnault family. These were her greatest fears. If people knew about Sean's life as a waiter before being honored as the head of a conglomerate, she might be forced to reinstate one of her grandsons even if she chose to claim Sean as of theirs.
And none of her grandsons were fit for the job judging by their wasted and unyielding life. They were wealthy, yet they brought nothing tangible into the country. Instead, they lavished their money on girls, whores, clubhouses and expensive dresses as if that was the main purpose of life. If she eventually picked them at any day, that would be the end of the conglomerate which was her toil.
“Why? I think they will find out soon, Chairwoman . The media are always unrelenting. Give them a few days, and it will be all over the internet.” Steve, who was driving the car, asked when he noticed the Chairwoman’s uneasiness.
“That is the reason I have instructed Zoe to do her job. This is the perfect way to put his job into use. He should disregard every news about the new head of Globalsphere conglomerate as quickly as possible.” The Chairwoman breathed out heavily and swiped her head with a white handkerchief.
Zoe was a man in control of any news meant to destroy the reputation of any member of the Arnault family. He had performed excellently well for the past eight years, so the Chairwoman had her full trust in him. If it weren't for the man, the Globalsphere conglomerate would have been in it's trenches at that time.
The black SUV screeched and pulled to a halt at a magnificent building a few minutes later. This building had no gate or visible protection whatsoever, yet it was an unaccessible area for armed robbers because it was heavily guarded by unseen soldiers lurking around.
The Chairwoman was the first person to alight, followed by Steve and lastly Sean himself. The atmosphere was so calm that Sean wondered why they went there.
“Where is this place, Steve?” Sean asked the man next to him, but the Chairwoman chipped in instead.
“This residence belongs to Patrick Parkersburg. He is quite a famous figure in Seattle. We have an appointment with them.” The Chairwoman explained without taking a break. Sean nodded his head even though she never gave a thorough and broad explanation of why they had gone for visitation.
When the Chairwoman reached the gigantic door, she clicked on the doorbell, and it opened automatically without the assistance of anybody, which bemused the rest of them. The Chairwoman then summoned both of them to walk closer. Just as the Chairwoman walked in, the entire family of Parkersburg rushed down the stairs delighted to see Ms Elizabeth.
Two young boys who seemed like twins engulfed the older woman in a warm embrace, feeling excitement. Every one of them gleamed in ecstasy at their appearances.
Sean looked above them and sighted a very beautiful lady standing at the beginning of the stairs. To add to her beauty, she wore a stainless white dress that complemented was with her glowing skin and shiny dark hair.
Her eyes moved across the room as she bit her lips continuously feeling very anxious. Her parents had informed that the Chairwoman would be appearing with the new head of Globalsphere conglomerate.
Based on the quick research she did a few minutes before his appearance, she realized that he was a very attractive young man with an innocent appearance which made her fall in love with him at first sight.
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
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.
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
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
