After waiting for what seems like an eternity, the receptionist finally lifted her face from her desk, her expression changing from indifference to that of forced efficiency.“You are cleared to see the CEO now.” she said,her tone devoid of any warmth and concern.“Follow me, and try not to make any more noisy disturbances.”Justin took a deep breath, trying to subdue his frustration. He looked at Mark and Robert, who was clearly tense and looked pale. The events of the past minutes weighing on him. “I do not think I should go up there. I have heard about the things that happens to people who cross the CEO and I don’t wish to be a victim.” Robert said, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke. I think I would just stay put here.” Justin looked at him and said. “Robert, do not worry. You are coming with us. We have come this far and you can not back out now as we are almost at our destination.” Justin replied, leaving no room for debate.Robert looked from Justin to the receptionis
I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 160 - The CEO’s Secretary!
As Justin, Mark, and Robert got inside the CEO’s office, they were met not by the CEO himself but by his secretary. A beautiful and elegant woman, she was seated behind a sleek and modern desk, her appearance so striking and looking so polished. She had long, flowing hair and her outfit was tailored impeccably. She had an air of elegance and sophistication which commanded attention.With a courteous and polite smile, Justin moved forward to address her. “Good afternoon ma’am. We are here to see the CEO. I hope we got here right on time.”The secretary looked up from her desk, her gaze rest on Justin briefly before moving on to Robert at the back.

"Husband?" He asked in disbelief, anger pitching in his voice. The line of his eyebrows thickened as a frown set over his face. "Your sister's husband? Gavin?"No words left the lips of anyone in the room. Gavin stood by the door, looking on in confusion as he wondered what exactly was going on. Meghan had an apologetic look on her face and so did Sophie. At this point, she was wondering why I told him who Gavin was to her sister and it made her feel guilty. But almost immediately, she kicked the feeling off, concluding that even if she had not said a word, Gavin's presence had already ruined everything.Meanwhile, Mr Adrian's anger increased when he got no response."Leave my office now." He said in a surprising, calm tone. He moved his seat back to take something out of his cabinet. It was a piece of paper, obviously some document."But Sir...""But what? Leave my office now." He cut in before Sophie could say anything more. This time, he raised his voice, focusing his eyes on them.

Her words were harsh , making Robert visibly uncomfortable and feeling distressed.Mark, who was also standing beside him, looked at him with empathy.Justin moved closer to him with a look of genuine concern and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Robert, my friend. I totally understand how you are feeling right now but I want you to know I am with you and I care. Please, do not let it get to you.”Just then, the secretary came back and with a tone still filled with hostility, directed towards Robert solely, she announced they could go inside to see the CEO.“You may all

I Am The Richest Man Alive Chapter 164 - Robert's Story!

Chapter 556: Reckoning
The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper. Silently, Justin walked toward the tabletop; his footsteps rang harsh in the otherwise silent room.

Chapter 555: The Enemy Within
Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it.

He had won relatively hard and long, but as he walked in the office that morning, something was not right; the air felt heavy, the tension intense and indiscernible. Somehow, Justin couldn't seem to shake an inner feeling that someone was still perhaps watching, waiting for just the right moment to make his move.“Good morning, Mr. Drogonuv,” Mark’s voice broke through the silence as Justin walked into his office. The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports. At first, I thought it was simply an oversight, but I now doubt it," Justin's heartbeat sped up. “What kind of irregularities?”“A few transactions that don’t add up.

Ethan, however, wasn’t just a rival; he was a shadow, a figure always lurking, always ready to strike when least expected. But Justin had learned how to deal with shadows. And this time, he wasn’t afraid of them.Glassy, chilly and eerie, stillness filled the morning air. Just as Justin finished his very first cup of coffee, his phone bleeped with an alert from Ava.

But Justin had learned long ago that the best defense was a good offense. And if Ethan thought he could break him, he was gravely mistaken.The day started with a call from Ava. She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative.

And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire. The walls were not comforting at all today; they were lined with dark mahogany, closing in on him. There was a scent of coffee-heavenly, fresh, and inviting, but equally intent on leaving him in the throes of angers light and storm inside his chest. Mark stood by the window, his frame silhouetted against the golden light of these early hours. Definitely, he has been with Justin for years, unwavering in his loyalty.
