By the next day, William was surprised when he called Head Butler Mike Barathea to ask who Cordelia Bright really was, what kind of relationship she had with the McArthur family, and why she was under the protection of his grandfather.“Oh, did I really forget to tell you this?! This is such a silly behavior of mine. Apologies, Young Master William. Mrs. Cordelia Bright is, as you’ve seen her, an ordinary intern supervisor. As for her relationship with the McArthur, it’s quite a bitter-sweet one. You see, she used to be your mother’s childhood best friend. Well, that was before your mother ran away from home and abandoned her life here. To your grandfather, Mrs. Cordelia Bright stands as a reminder of his dear daughter. This is why, despite her status as an ordinary intern supervisor, no one in the company would dare interfere in her work, not to mention mess with her in the slightest. She’s basically untouchable.”William suspected that this had something to do with the reason his
At lunch break, William chatted with the four, talking about his life at BAU. He also revealed that he had a girlfriend, one who was waiting for him. Of course, he didn’t tell them the intricate details of his life, including Camilla Parker’s identity and her involvement with the young lord of the Middle East. A week later, William learned that Amma and Ian were romantically involved. He congratulated them as his friendship with the others deepened as well. Meanwhile, he placed his daily tasks as his number-one priority.By the end of the month, William was easy to handle his first project. Thus, he went to the board to pick from the numerous lists of projects befitting the status of interns.William noticed that in order to get the highest amount of merited value per project, he would have to pick from those projects that involved sealing contract deals with smaller companies. Despite this project involving smaller companies, the finalization of sealing the deal was not an easy
“Awn! You missed my girlfriend and I already?” Andre didn’t miss a chance to tease his best friend as he let out a chuckle. “Don’t worry, buddy. We definitely won’t miss a chance to see you. I remember you mentioned that you’re only here for a project. Lord knows how long you’ll be spending in the city before you head back to your company.”“Come over with Tracy, and I’ll fill you guys in on my experience there,” William answered with a smile, reserved with his happy mood at the thought of seeing his friends again.“Wait! Did you bring those demonic tigers of yours back?” Andre suddenly asked with a cautious tone.William chuckled. “Don't worry; I decided not to torture you during our brief meeting. I didn’t bring them with me.”Andre let out a sigh. “Oh, thank goodness. Of course, I’m sure Tracy would’ve been super bummed at not seeing those three tigers; I, on the other hand, wouldn’t definitely live a little less cautious with them not around.”That night, William had a great
Stacy stared at William for a minute before smiling slyly. “Fine, I can get this file to my family, but you have to give me something in return. After all, it won’t be easy trying to convince my family to accept this from someone they had already rejected less than a week ago. Also, if it turns out that this ‘gift’ isn’t worth their precious time at all, I won’t be spared from punishment either. So….”William smiled a bit wider as he had expected Stacy to ask this. He might have not been close with her back when he was still a regular student at BAU, but he had done enough research before inviting her here. Stacy has always been the kind of person to never do a favor for free. She would always want something in return.“What do you want them?” William sat up straight, staring at her.Stacy smiled as she twirled her hair. “A romantic date with you for a week, not excluding nightly pleasure between the sheets.”William raised an eyebrow. “You want us to date?”“The full-course mea
The Fallon went through a major internal restructuring overnight. In the file William had gifted them through Stacy, it gave a limited number of names of both executives and lower employees with The Fallon enterprise who were actually working to ruin the reputation of the company. Prior to William's showing, The Fallon Enterprise had been facing a huge wave of leaked information, and they’ve never been able to spot exactly where this leak originated from. Through this time, they had been rather putting in a lot of effort and money to keep such a crippling scandal from getting to the public’s ears, as it would most likely tarnish the confidence the clients held with The Fallon Enterprise.Yet, a seemingly ordinary intern who had only started at the McArthur company in a bit over a month has provided them with a list of traitors that even their best investigators have been unable to find.Stacy was shocked when her father and the rest of the family urged her to beg William to hold an
Stacy returned to her family’s home with the bad news, and she could only keep quiet while her parents and the elders in her family expressed their anger at the blatant disrespect William was showing them.Stacy glared at them. “What about you guys? Weren’t you the first to disrespect him? He came on behalf of the McArthur conglomerate to finalize an important deal, and it’s not like we didn’t need it. That conglomerate is incredibly powerful after all. Yet, we kept rejecting them.”Mr. Fallon was pissed at his daughter’s words, but he couldn’t pretend like he didn’t see the truth in them. The Fallon then took an incredibly humbling action. They reached out to the McArthur headquarters itself to apologize for their five-year-long disregard of the contract deal. They also asked them to persuade William to come finalize the contract deal.At The McArthur Headquarters,Cordelia Bright was shocked beyond words after getting off the phone. “That kid….he actually humbled that family?
The day William arrived at The Fallon Enterprise for the second time, he was properly welcomed, as if he was a new executive about to join the board of directors. The meeting William had with them this time was held in the grand and exclusive meeting room meant only for the board of directors. Stacy was also allowed to be present as she’s known to offer the same course and, thus, has the most familiarity with William out of the entire Fallon family.Mr. Fallon glared at William. “Young man, you really made me go through so much trouble just to get you here for the second time. You know that your audacious behavior can warrant trouble for you if you’re not careful.”William smiled professionally, giving the older man a head nod. “I’m aware. But I did what I did because I was confident in what I had provided you. Also, you would have never gone through these troubles to get me here if you didn’t verify what I had gifted you, right?”Mr. Fallon stared coldly at William for a minute,
“Wow! I still can’t believe you feel finalized such a troublesome deal with the Fallon enterprise!” Ian stared at William in utter disbelief.William shrugged his shoulders. “It wasn’t exactly easy but I’m lucky I pulled through.”“Nah, don’t say it like that.” Laura wiggled her right index finger at William while shaking her head. “Luck is one thing, but in this kind of situation, you definitely need more than that. That family has rejected the company’s contract for all these years. Then you came along and changed that on your first try.”“There’s also the fact that you just obtained 2.1 million merited value on your first try!” Drew pulled William by wrapping an arm over his shoulder. “Bro, you gotta teach me how you did it!”William looked around to find Armando, Amma, and Jed also staring at him with wide eyes. “Guys, really. I just did my best to convince them to finalize the contract. Also, their daughter studies the same course in BAU as me, so I guess you can call that an
