The PA assigned to him by his Grandfather Mr Grey brought to him reports of what is happening in the company since it's already a common knowledge in the company that the new CEO is a mysterious man that does not want to show himself.
He was very happy when he learnt of how his wife and mother in law was treated when they asked to see him but he knows more are still coming their way it's just the starting point.
He was informed that there are some documents that needs his approval and projects that needs his supervision on site. For the documents that needs his approval, be asked them to bring them to him for him to append his signature and assigned some people to monitor the supervision of the projects.
A man hurried inside asking to see Eric and he was ushered inside. He introduced himself as Sam Moore and that he was from the Storm Corporation West London Branch that there are some issues that need the new CEO attention because there seems to be some withdrawal of collaboration by some companies.
He was told he was going to spend about 2 to 3days and that a private jet is waiting outside to fly him to London. He was surprised when he was told that a private jet is waiting outside for him.
He looked up at his grandfather and his grandfather smiled at him and said there are many more surprises waiting for you when you fully enter into the STORM GROUP OF COMPANIES and their branches is all over America.
He was at cross roads on whether to go or not , since he left the house on fire but his grandfather told him not not bother himself but to go and that when he is back he would tell his wife that he was kidnapped and that he can also test if his wife still loves him or that maybe she might ask after his welfare.
Since Eric already decide to go to London, Carlos ordered a maid to pack a suitcase of the formal wears and everything he is going to be needing during his journey.
His Grandfather and his PA escorted him and the team that came to fetch him to the rooftop where the jet was waiting for them.
Everyone bid him farewell, he told his grandfather that he should send out his men to monitor his family especially his son since he is the only one that loves him in that retarded family and in irony they should take good care of his family.
At home, an argument has ensured between both mother and daughter concerning their contract termination pushing the blame on one another.
"Mom you know I told you not to punish those newcomers who knows whether one of them is the girlfriend or side chick to the CEO because I heard he is an handsome young blooded man who knows whether she report you when she had him in her arms acting pitiful" said Scarlett to her mother.
" And again, it should have been only you that should have been served the termination letter " she added.
Susan said I can see that you are already been affected by your stupid husband, since you already have a son together, you're already thinking like him and you know I was against you marrying him.
And do you also think you're innocent when you acting with airs on the set, because you were the producer favorite and you were the main female lead; she elaborated
Since you married that good for nothing boy, we've been running out of luck, you have to divorce soonest before he destroys our life completely
Mom don't Eric into this, we all know that he does not have a future and there is no way he would have a hand in what is happening to us and we don't know who we offended that caused this to be happening to us.
Or mom was it because you seduced Mr Eleanor so that you can be given the female lead role of his ongoing movie
This statement caused Scarlett to earn a very sounding slap from her mother; Pak, how dare you talk to you mother like that and moreover how do you learn of this, as she tried to retain her dignity Infront of her daughter.
She thought "for Scarlett to know about what happened between me and that foolish producer Mr Eleanor, how much more won't this rumors reach the new CEO and must be as a result of those chewing girls because they feel they ate favoured by those old smelling men and I know it's going to be one of them that would be spreading this rumor"
Mom you slapped me, Scarlett held her cheek as she questioned her mother.
As both mother and daughter were at each other's throats, Eric was enjoying the presidential treatment given to him on the jet, the entertainment, the view of the world from inside the jet
We are ready to land Sir and also a team is waiting to receive you at the airport, the hospitality team of the jet informed Eric.
The jet landed, Eric stepped out of the jet, the team that was said to be waiting for him was head by the Vice President of London Branch Mr Brown . He was greeted with respect and a ninety degree bow " Good morning Sir"
He replied them with a curt nod and a word "morning", he was lead into the limonsine waiting for him to drive him to the headquarters.
He was briefed on the situation during the drive from the airport to the company by Mr Brown about the investment withdrawn by the Anderson Corporation which is a 5 Billion Dollars investment which is needed to improve the popularity of the company and make them earn public recognition.
Getting to the corporation, all departments heads were waiting outside to receive their new President and also to show him that they are not slacking behind. Coming down from the limousine, two rows of ten bodyguards were waiting to protect and escort him into the company. Eric was overwhelmed by the respect given to him by these people and the amount of authority he carries which makes them reference him.The people were surprised on how young and handsome, the new president is, because all branches of the Storm Corporation all over America has heard the rumour about the change of power from the old Mr Storm to his newly found grandson. They all thought it was just a joke made by the higher-ups to scare them but seeing him in blood and flesh makes them to believe but they are skeptical whether he would be capable of leading the Storm Corporation well, because he looks like someone picked up from the suburbs. Under the atonishing eyes of
After dinner was served, Eric was consistently checking his Nokia phone to see if he would see any message from Susan asking him he had been or her call or anything to just console himself in to believe the she still loves him.But to his disappointment, there was no call or message; it was as if he never existed in their lives.He slept depressed thinking about his life with Susan, how rocky it has been. How there had been no peace for him to the extent that he dreamt of Susan chasing him to leave her life, that she was tired of living his wretched life with him.He woke up drenched in sweat and scared , he grabbed the bedside clock to check the time and he saw that it 4am in the morning.He could not sleep back, so he had to just stay in bed till it was daybreak but he could not stop thinking of ways to get back at the duo; Scarlett and her mother, for everything they caused to his last drop of blood.But he was skeptical about the type of revenge he should employ because of his Son
Eric almost blurted out, "You want me dead, do you know who I am?" when he heard his wife's statement. The last ray of hope he had in his heart towards her was shattered. He finally realized that he was not loved by his wife. He heard his son crying that his mommy wants his father dead. He felt touched that he still has someone who loves him in this depraved family. He promised himself that even if he was going to lead to divorce he would fight to the end for his son. He wanted to touch Mako and console him that he was not going to die. Scarlett shouted at him not to touch her Son until he wash his dirty pathetic self. She told him she was going on a date with her fiance Frank and went inside to change into an evening gown. Fifteen minutes later, a horn was heard outside . Scarlett shouted from inside the house "Oh, Frank is here. " As she came, she saw that Eric had changed out of his dirty clothes and taken
FlashbackThe customers complaining that Eric is taking too much of the customer service attention are unaware of the real circumstance leading to him being paid much attention to. When he entered the restaurant, he used a poor coat to cover his expensive suit so as not to attract much attention especially from Scarlett and Frank, her boyfriend until he wanted them to know of his presence. He went over to the chocolate drink counter and requested for the most expensive brand, the young sales attendant looked at him like trash, doubting if he saw the price on the body of the commodity. "Why are you giving me bad eyes? Is there anything wrong?" He asked but what he got was a long and unpleasant sigh from her before she sat back behind the counter and continued with what she was doing before. "Please get out of here, this place and that commodity you picked is not for poor people like you. You know fully well you wouldn't be able to afford something but you are still trying to waste
The bodyguard calls the cops who come and pick her up, handcuffing her and forcing her into their car. She is downcasted, frustrated and confused on what to do. The cops drive her straight to their headquarters in LA where she is locked up behind bars. Tears start to flow from her eyes immediately, she has never experienced being behind bars before. Up till now, she doesn't know who Eric has become to have such power. When she saw him, she thought she was still that man she could manhandle as she wishes not knowing things had changed. The good thing in her case is that her phone hasn't been seized, she is still in possession of it, the reason behind this is because she wasn't a real criminal when she was arrested, Eric asked the cops to permit her to use her phone, he also had a secret intention here. First thirty minutes of being locked, she stands refusing to sit despite her fellows urging her to sit. When she looks at the stony floor and imagines her white dress which costs sev
The men inside keep mocking at her every interval of time, Scarlett tries her best not to enter their eyes but they soon catch her saying bad things about Eric, out of mistake and her part begins. The bully goes higher until they start hitting them from behind and when they turn, they all pretend like they weren't doing anything. Some hit with hands, others fists and yet others sticks. Scarlett wonders how they smuggled sticks into the cell, an idea comes into her head. "Perhaps all these are setups from Eric as revenge. These might be his men?" She says in a whisper and her mother nods. "Sure you must be telling the truth! What are we going to do now?" Susan asks. Scarlett shakes her head indicating that she knows nothing. "I expected you to come and bail me out but rather you got yourself inside here, how are we going to get out of there?" She lowers her head and starts to cry, she wipes off some tears with the back of her palms. Her mother places her hand over her back, consol
Eric was sitting with his PA who is in charge of the telephone and picking all calls he doesn't want to pick when Susan's call came through. When he saw that it was her, he gave his PA to respond because he wanted to let her know that he wasn't that Eric they knew. His levels had changed. His PA had no need to tell him what she said because he heard everything, with the phone being on speaker. After the call ended, he laughed at her, making mockery of her with Smith. "She treated me badly with her daughter who is my wife, but now I'm taking revenge on them from every angle. I'm leaving no stone unturned, I must pay them back double for all the harassment and shame I derived from their hands." "I like it this way, most especially as Mako is secretly with you, they would be placed in a state of panic." Smith gushes. "That's what I want, they deserve all of these and even more." "Sir, so at last, what are you going to do?" Eric gives Smith a warning glare. "I told you not to mainta
"We are still in the process of gathering qualified nannies for the interview, please be patient. We would finalize everything and send the names of the shortlisted candidates to you. Their interview would begin right away as you wish." Eric receives it through his email. He expected to get the names today but since for some circumstances best known to the college, they had decided to shift the finalization of the process by one day, he is not so bothered. Despite going to his company to see how things are going, he decides to go to Scarlett's apartment with some cops from the same headquarters that detained her and her mother. Making another trouble comes to mind, he wants to threaten once again and even many more. Scarlett and Susan since they are no longer working as actresses in Hollywood are sure to be at home, they have nowhere to go. He can't wait for them to go bankrupt. That's where he will remember them how they used to call him poor and deride him, now he will be the one
