Lord Leinhart’s announcement seemed to make everyone except Mia and her parents glad. They have been plotting ways to impeach Mia from her position as the CEO of the family business.
Somehow Mia had been able to escape their traps without getting hit. This was a free opportunity that came to them for free. The members of the Leinhart family converted the position of the CEO because they could earn a lot from it..Being the highest position in the family, the CEO gets a new ride every three months and they stay in a luxurious Villa to themselves. They also get unrestricted trips around the world, plus recognition from everyone in the country.It is a position with killing for.“Father, that is extreme.” Mia’s mother lamented. “Stripping her off her positionsand kicking us out is not fair on us.”“Sister-in-law, It is also fair that she gets punishment for marrying an unworthy man into the Leinhart family,” Melissa’s mother said back then she faced Lord Leinhart.“Father, now that the position of the CEO is now empty, can Melissa begin to work there?” She shamelessly asked, causing everyone to be shocked with how direct she was with her request.Mia’s father, Mason and Melissa’s late father, Max were twins, but they were the greatest enemies of each other, their hate relationship transferred to their kids.“Why do you think your daughter is going to get it? Are the rest of us puppets?” One of Mia’s aunty, Lord Leinhart’s first daughter yelled.“We watched the youngest adult in this house take it, now you want the second youngest to take it, while we rot in our old positions right?” Another of Lord Leinhart’s daughters added.“If you add this energy to your own positions in the company instead of fighting, I am sure, we would have no competitors. We only managed to stay afloat because of Mia and her parents.”“That is because you made the bosses.” His daughter retorted“Okay then. I want to see which one of you can beat their records, then.” Lord Leinhart said, then he thought of the right task to give them.“The position is open to anyone who can get us a deal with the starfall group. The new company that is going to begin investing billions of dollars into a potential company. Anyone that can get it will be the next CEO.” Lord Leinhart declared.“I have something to say.” Logan raised his hand before he moved close to where Mia was sitting. “Whta is my wife, Mia is the first to land the deal with the starfall group, will she get her position back as the CEO?”The family went silent and they turned to Lord Leinhart waiting for his answer.“Yes,” Lord Leinhart sneered. “She is a member of the family after all." he added.A smile formed on Mia’s face. “Thank you for the opportunity, grandpa," She said to her grandpa“I will be sure to get the deal and take my position from these scavengers. I haven’t even left the room, they already have thoughts of taking my place when I have not been dismissed for up to a day.” She thought to herself.“I will work hard in getting the deal for our family. The LH group will definitely get the deal.’ Mia assured her grandfather.(NB: LH Group is the Leinhart group :)“How sure are you that you will get the deal? The Starfall groups don't give contracts to strangers, they don't even speak to people from other companies without giving them an invite. How do you intend to bag a deal from them?” Melissa scoffed.She was so sure that Mia wasn’t going to beat her this time. Deep down in her heart, she was happy that she wouldn't have to pay so much money trying to hinder her cousin.The last time she tried to spread a fake scandal about Mia, she spent a lot of money and yet Mia was able to get out of the scandal without hurting the family’s image.Which caused her to spend a million dollars to cover the source of the scandal, even the amount she had spent, Mia knew she was the one behind it.“You are also going to attempt to get the deal, so we will both find our ways around it.” Mia replied, wondering why the Starfall group was so tight.It was true that the true owners of the Starfall group kept an anonymous profile and their general manager was very hard to meet.The company was inarguably one of the fastest growing companies in the country and their success rate on every project they take on is always a hundred percent success. That is probably why Lord Leinahet wanted a deal from them.They must have denied him the access to meet the Chairman of the Starfall group and he wanted to get a deal from them at cost. He threw the task at his family because they are all desperate to get the deal.Melissa adjusted in her seat. “Well the general manager there is my boyfriend. You can assume that this project is something I've gotten.” She boasted then she faced her grandfather. “Entrust this to me, grandpa. I will bring the contract to you.”Mia’s face turned pale, when she heard her cousin’s words. Melissa was more than two steps ahead of her. She had connections with the Starfall’s group number one staff.The famous Robert Gu. He was a rich man but she didn’t know that he was the boyfriend that often spoiled her cousin with numerous gifts.“Miss Mia Leinhart, ah should I sayMrs Mia Frost now that you are married.” Melissa mocked. “Does your husband know anyone in Starfall group?”Mia’s parents wore a look of disappointment on their faces“How could he possibly know anyone there?” Melissa’s mom laughed. “Even the lowly staff of the Starfall group won’t relate with a lowlife like him.”They wanted Mia to feel so embarrassed after she managed to keep her head up when Lord Leinhart removed her as the CEO.“I know who the CEO of Starfall is.” Logan declared.“Hahaha.” Melissa laughed out loud. “Look here, Mr nobody, do you think just anyone knows the insides of Starfall group? Even families as strong as the Leinhart family do not have so much connection when it comes to that company. Who can nobody like you know?”“Dear Cousin, your husband is so delusional, i din;t expect that your taste in men was this poor, I am disappointed in you,” She mocked Mia. “You should have picked up a few things from me in the past. You won’t have ended up with a useless, nameless man.”“If not for your boyfriend, I am sure you won’t know anyone in that company. Don’t act like you have already won this. Nothing has been finalized yet.” Mia’s mum came to her daughter's defense. She knew her daughter wasn’t a woman of many words and would not like to respond to everything her cousin says. She took her side but she was still angry that her daughter got married to a nobody.“Aunty, it is pretty obvious that I will win this, you should persuade your daughter to
Mia felt remorseful, she already felt bad enough that her life changed overnight and a reckless decision of hers, she had not even had the time to process the whole situation. Melissa, who was watching the whole situation from afar, walked up to them and faked a smile.“I hate to do this but we are family. What can a family do but help each other in times of trouble.” Melissa swung an old bunch of keys in her handShe was happy that Lord Leinhart had taken the car from Mia, she also loved the car and was trying to get it from the company but they sold it to Mia instead.Now was the chance for her to have it to herself.“Will you get to the point and stop beating around the bush?” Mia growled at her, knowing her cousin was up to mischievous acts. The last person she would trust was Melosaa.Every time Melissa tried to be nice to her it always ended up as a bad thing.“Xalm down cousin, I am trying to be good to you. After all you have been good to me in the past, this is a minor issue
“There is no problem, Let’s go to the Starfall company, it is past their lunch time right?” Logan asked the driver.“Er..” The driver looked at his wristwatch. “Yes sir.”“Okay!”“What are you having for lunch this afternoon? Remember that doctor said you cannot skip your meals so that your injuries can heal fast," The driver was concerned for his boss because he knew how picky he gets when it comes to eating.“I will just have the regular from that restaurant near my home after I finish up my business at Starfall group. Let's get going.” Logan answered.Following his boss’s instruction, the driver started the car and zoomed off to the Starfall group in the heart of the city.. Logan rested his back and started wondering how he was able to perform well in bed that night, he even slept off without waking up till the day broke.Another part of him wondered if Mia had noticed the multiple scars he had on his body due to the nature of his work. His thoughts made him want to have a conver
“I have seen many animals like you here so many times, it is high time we taught one of you a lesson so another animal like you won’t walk in here feeling important.” The head of the guards.“Imagine some like him saying he is here to see our CEO. How about you just look into some famous magazine instead of embarrassing yourself here.” All the guards laughed at the comment that the head of the guards made.The door of the elevator opened, a beautiful young lady emerged and walked directly to where the guards were standing with Logan. “What do you think you are doing!?” She yelled at the guards who held Logan down roughly.Hannah is the CEO of Starfall group whom Logan has given call to and ordered to come right away.She pushed them away from him, terrified of Logan’s wrath. If they got on his bad side, he could take all of them down with just an order.“Good afternoon, madam CEO,” The head of the guards said and all of them bowed down to her.“How exactly did you train your staff, H
Hannah walked to her table and put a call through her secretary. “Hello, tell the general manager to come to my office right away.” She ordered before dropping the call.“I will speak to the general manager right now and ask about the issue,” she said as she walked back to seat opposite Logan. “This will be resolved in no time.”She toyed with her fingers nervously because she feared that the allegations might be true. Not only the manager’s job will be at stake but her own job too.Robert Gu walked into the office after knocking and he was asked to come in.“Good morning ma’am. How was you...?” He stopped in his tracks as soon as he noticed Logan sitting in the middle of the office.The chair he sat on was the special chair that the CEO often had told him that it belonged to the heir of the company.Shock gripped him as he was surprised to see him there.“What are you doing? Sitting there?” Robert asked rudely. “Do you know you are not supposed to sit there? Even the CEO doesn’t sit
Mason Leinhart was really annoyed with his daughter, all his wife, he had never done anything to prompt his father to kick him out of the house.“Honey, have you called your best friend ? Tell him we are coming to spend a few days at his place. Till we resolve this issue at hand.” Mia's mother told her husband.“I already tried calling him but he didn’t pick up, he must have heard about the change in power. In the past, if I called him once even if he was sick he would pick up immediately.” Mason complained.“I have also called my sister to let us stay at the Villa but she said her husband is trying to strike a deal with Lord Leinhart so we need to stay away from them for a while so that the deal doesn’t get called off.” his wife replied.She continued to complain bitterly, “How could they do this to us? After All we did to support their company in the past, is this how they are supposed to treat us? We haven’t spent up to twenty hours outside the Leinhart Villa.”Mia sighed as her p
The next day, just as her father had instructed, she rented a car and drove down to the Starfall group . She knew that luck wasn’t on her side and the odds were not in her Favour.Melissa’s boyfriend works there so she is well connected already but her own husband said he knew someone there.A part of her really wanted to trust him seeing how he played superhero the previous day but the business woman in her knew it was not okay to put total trust into verbal promises.As she got to the front of the door, she said a word of prayer silently in her heart then she summoned courage to get down from the car.The situation she met there was quite different from what she had expected in the first place.Mia got into a busy lobby and she was confused about where to go. A newbie staff in a company like this will need a map to get around.The company was too times bigger than her own company and the interior designs reeked of elegance and money.“The Architects did a badass job.” She thought to
The Leinhart family gathered in the family lounge, waiting for Lord Leinhart to arrive, Mia too was running late. Her father was strung to get worried about her.She was taking too long, he feared that she didn’t want to return home because of some bad news. “Where is your daughter? She left the home before I even woke up this morning. What in the world is she up to?”“If father arrives before her, let’s stall for some time, you may scold her later,” Mason managed to convince his wife.Lord Leinhart walked in and they all stood up to bow before him. “Good evening, you may have your seat.”Mia’s mum was the first to speak, “father-in-law, you must have missed us seeing how you can quickly invite us to your family meeting.”She didn’t have the intention of speaking but she was going to protect her daughter at all cost. Mia will definitely get yelled at if they waited a long time before she showed up.Even if she was late for a good Her words brushed Lord Leinhart’ ego and how she call
