2024-10-29 19:42:56A certain advanced man wearing a red stylish suit alighted from the car and ambled into the hall. Without further words, it wouldn't be wrong to assume that red is billionaire Marshall Roland's favorite color.
The atmosphere was triggered into a state of awe. No one knew him and never expected the next COO to be as advanced in age as the man standing befall them.
"Good morning—Sir…" all the staff sputtered, struggling to break their voices into stable words. Silent indistinct mutterings unfolded in the atmosphere.
Lord Marshall calmly cleared his throat and inhaled calmly. "Can I have your attention," his face switched from jovial to serious expression? "Many of y'all here don't know me and I duly understand."
"Many of you haven't known much about Honeywell except the intricacies behind your designated duties. But in terms of its root, many have no single idea."
The anticipation amidst the staff arose deeply, their hearts yawning to grasp all the necessary information, their eardrums in tune at what the strange advanced man was spilling to their faces.
He drew a deep breath to garner more mastery of words. "I'm the founder and CEO of Honeywell Real Estate Ltd," his tone was firm and unsubtle. "My name is Lord Marshall Roland."
The indistinct chatter amidst the hall intensified, no one ever saw such a stunt coming.
Mr. Wilfred and Rihanna's spines quivered in shock, their hands hastily thudding on their thighs as the words of their overall billionaire boss hit their body like an earthquake.
"Can I still have your attention?" he inquired with a slight beam on his face, enjoying how confused his staff seemed. "It's of great honor to introduce to y'all the new COO of this prestigious establishment…"
He pointed his right finger toward the back door, in a quick response all eyes gazed at the second white Range Rover sports car and stared at a man wearing a navy blue suit, with a white torture neck top and accompanied by two bodyguards behind him.
The chief gatekeepers hastened towards the car as Julian alighted. "Good morning Sir, I'm Shirley, it's an honor to finally meet you.'' Her words were polite and respectful.
Gerald beamed at her and nodded his head. "Chief gatekeeper right?" He quickly inquired, still staring at her.
"Yes, Yes Sir, always at your service," she responded, still parting a beam from her tender cheeks.
He majestically ambled into the hall like a billionaire that he is. His shoulders were slightly up and chest out in profound confidence.
He intentionally stood beside his father with a palpable beam written all over his face.
Rihanna's heart skipped a million times in shock, from the entrance she had seen someone familiar to her ex-husband but couldn't believe any of it even in her wildest dreams.
She blinked her eyelid profusely to be certain that she wasn't having any sort of nightmare.
"Hey, isn't… that your ex-husband, huh?" Mr. Wilfred quickly asked, his breath trembling with nervousness. "Rihanna, tell me this is a joke?" his voice barely above a whisper.
"Ladies and Gentleman, please arise and behold your new COO, my biological billionaire son…" Lord Marshall's voice was firm and well-felt without any form of ambiguity.
Rihanna and Mr. Wilfred's knees buckled in goosebumps and lifting to their feet was one of the most difficult tasks to do but they had no choice.
The atmosphere fell into loud clapping accompanied by indistinct and distinct chattering with slight beaming on different faces but still engrossed in a state tinge of awe and confusion.
The whole staff was thrown into a world of bewilderment; first was the impromptu meeting to announce a new COO, when they were still striving to get a hint of what was unfolding, boom, their eyes entangled with the founder and CEO whom they had never met.
And to crown it all, their new COO is his biological son. Their hands folded together in disbelief, their hearts screaming. "What more should we expect?"
"Rihanna… your ex-husband is a billionaire?" Wilfred's tone filled with disbelief, his eyes widened like a moron. "The overall billionaire boss is his father?…"
Her body was engrossed with sweat which gradually dripped off her head down to her ear.
No matter how she strived to put her emotions in check; she couldn't stop her hands from shaking in fear.
Her eyes suddenly met with her ex-husband— Julian who was busy beaming at her in contempt.
He softly chuckled at his father and took two steps further toward his staff position.
He calmly cleared his throat and breathed out gently in relief. "Thank y'all for having me and for your utmost recognition," his eyes glanced through the whole staff in the hall.
He intentionally paused for a few seconds, stared at Rihanna and Wilfred, soft chuckled, and continued. "But it's time to embrace change, time for reformation, it's time to lay off the bad eggs that intend to ruin us."
Instantly Rihanna and Wilfred abruptly held each other's hands unsettled. Their blood ran cold in fear. The sound of laying off bad eggs sent shivers down their spines. They swallowed hard in shock.
"Let's have our former COO; Mr. Wilfred, on the stage," Julian's words, filled with calmness but tricky. His eyes glanced at Wilfred with his cheeks still unleashing a soft chuckle.
"Oh...gosh," Wilfred whispered to Rihanna whilst standing to his feet. His voice and eyes blazed in dismay. "Rihanna, he just called me out on stage?… "
"Rihanna?..."

Mr. Wilfred ambled towards the stage, his heart pounding to his chest, his hands sweaty, his eyes barely above a downward state as he couldn't fully stare into the eyes of the billionaire man who lost his wife to him within 12 hours. The same despised man is a billionaire and has successfully replaced him in his father's company. Billionaire Julian nodded his head in contempt and brought out a document from one of his files on the table. "Mr. Wilfred you're hereby relieved of your duties and your services are no longer needed in our company." his words blurted out. "You made attempts to embezzle a significant amount of money from the last handled business through the forgery of the CEO's signature," his words were stern and explicit.

She staggered the more in disbelief, she glued her eyes more to her ex-husband; the same man she divorced within twelve hours ago.

That same man was the one who allowed her to work in a real estate firm that set her life running. She finally got to know that she wouldn't have been where she is if not for her ex-husband. Julian drew a deep breath in slight relief. "Having checked your input ever since you were promoted to the position of Assistant Accountant a year ago. You haven't proven your worth.

"His name is Julian Mars…" he was almost completing his statement when Patrick interrupted him. "...Wait… just hold it there," raising his eyebrows after swallowing a little hard in confusion. "You mean Julian Mars Roland, his biological son?" Instantly his words escaped from his mouth, Wifred's eyes widened in disbelief, and he cleared his throat for a second time in shock. "Sir?... Seems like you know that fool?" Realization quickly struck Mr. Patrick exhaled deeply, switched his eyes toward his left wing, and fell into deep thought.

"Come on in," Julian calmly voiced, after a knock came at his office door. "The door is unlocked." Mr Earnest ambled into the COO's office, his hands folded together in respect. "Sir you sent for me," he politely uttered, glancing through Julian's face in anticipation. Mr Earnest is the Logistics manager and has been working for Honeywell Real Estate for almost a decade. He was the first person Julian opted to have a meeting with after sacking Wilfred and demoting Rihanna. Julian cleared his throat. "Please do have your seat," he addressed him, against him standing after sauntering into his office. Mr Earnest didn't hesitate knowing that what could have prompted such a meeting was serious. Julian continued, this time around he calmly breathed out, his facial expression mild and approachable. "Mr. Earnest I've known you for the longest time even before my Mum's death.

Regardless of how narrow and crooked the path might seem as time progresses.
