REACH FOR THE HOOPS

Chapter 6 - Task ahead for Jude.

(THE BOARD MEETING.)

"You're Ready?" Mr. Brown asked Jade(Jude).

"Yeah, I'm Ready, Let's go in." Jude said adjusting his tie.

One of the bodyguards opened the door and the two stepped out, heading inside the Tall skyscraper.

"He has no other Choice than to step down today, his son won't be present and that will be a great advantage." A middle aged man said and others nods in agreement.

"What a coincidence, I never thought it will work out this way, really looking for an opportunity to make him step down but nothing yet, and the issue of his Son's Home - accident gave way out, Wow! Thanks for the Mole in The hospital." Steph Brown said and burst out Laughing loud, others who are his joined him!

Still admist the Laughing mood, the announcer announced his coming in.

"The Acting Chairman is Coming in.."

Everyone of them went silent and sit up right, waiting for him to come in.

Steph already with a wicked grin to welcome him while coming in but what happened next shocked him, not him alone but the members of the board.

The door opened and the first person that came in is Jude.

Their faces widened in shock and Steph's Grin vanished away immediately.

"What?" Some one voiced out.

"How possible?" another one said

Steph gathered himself up and put up the fake character.

" Hi, Brother, No, Acting Chairman Brown, how're you doing, welcome to today's board meeting." Steph said with a fake smile plastered on his face. His attention on Jude, still wondering how he could be here when it was confirmed that he was in Coma.

Jude maintain the Hard face, that's the attitude of Jade whenever he's in the midst of the Board executives.

"Shall we start the Meeting?" Mr. Brown said, after sitting on the Chairman's Seat, ignoring Steph's Welcoming words.

After little things about the Taking over of the company were discussed, Jude signed where Jade needs to sign as the heir of the New appointed Chairman.

That's the Rule their father Laid down, an heir must be present ad old enough to handle things about the company before the One assigned to take over Can Become a full fledged Chairman of the Company.

A day will be set For the Showing up of the heir by the board and if the Heir didn't show up that concluded day, the Acting Chairman will have to step down for the Next person behind him that's capable.

That's why Steph is looking for ways to make the Heir not to show up before the unfortunate Incident happened to Jade. Thanks for the Miraculous discovery of Jude, the long time lost, presumed Dead Son of Stefan Brown which was a twin, showing up and acting in stead of Jade Brown to save their father the title and Post of the Chairman, even though He's the appointed one by the Late Chairman.

"Arrrrghhhh.....!!" Steph yelled smashing the mug cup on his table on the wall of his office, venting his anger.

"How come? How? somebody tell me!" he shouted facing his Workers.

" The Doctor confirmed it and He even sent the picture of when the surgery was taking place day before yesterday." One of the Men in the Room said.

" I don't think we have the trust of the doctor again, we might have been betrayed and the pictures sent were to deceive us into believing and relaxing that The Acting Chairman had no other choice than to step down, and we stop planning on how to delay the Presence of the Heir in the board meeting. " Another one said.

"Get him sacked with immediate effect and look for another mole to get us information in the hospital." Steph thundered.

"I'm sorry, Our Reunion after years of departing is starting off with an issue like this, I really feel like a bad father, bit I promise, I'll make it up to you after all this is over and make you feel the joy in meeting your real parents." Mr. Brown said to Jude.

They're heading to the penthouse.

"I really understand everything and the way I met it, not anyone's fault, but I really hope we get to the root of this matter and why I am taken a way from you 16 years ago.

To me, all this seem planned and someone is behind it." Jude said.

"Yeah, I know but till then, we have to keep fighting. Let's get to the Whitehouse to check on Your twin brother after leaving the penthouse." Mr. Brown said.

"OK." Jude replied, facing the Side glass of the Car, his Voice sullen.

"Is there anything bothering your mind, Son?" Mr Brown asked.

" Dad, how long will I have to act as Jade, What will happen to my friend, my lifestyle and all? I really miss every fucking thing about me. Dan who is always there for me is out there and I've not been a blue to reach out to him for the last three days that I've gotten to Chicago." Jude finally let it out, tears falling from his eyes.

He understands the family matter as well, his lifestyle is changing all of a sudden and he's like he'll be leaving his friend who was always there.

"I understand, Son." Mr

Brown said, pulling him into a hug.

"You'll be resuming Jade's School Tomorrow, Dan will be joining you too, I've made arrangements for that and I've reached out to the Stones' Family.(Dan's Parents)" Mr. Brown said And Jude's fave brightens up.

"You mean it Dad?" Jude said and his Dad nods with a smile.

****

Since the past three days, Jude has not even set his eyes on his twin brother and just after meeting with his mother at the penthouse, he heads to the Whitehouse with his Dad.

Mr Brown input the passcode on the screen lock door and it opened, leading to the elevator.

He Pressed the 9 button on the screen passcode Indicating the floor they want to go and placed his hands on the screen to approve his Finger prints.

Immediately the Finger prints was approved, the elevator started going downwards and Jude wondered why the Elevator will be going downwards when it ought to be up but kept mute, he's with his father after all.
