"Mum, how many times do you want me to say it, he's not your son-in-law, there's no way I'll marry someone like him," Natalie grumbled angrily at the dining table causing a fuss.Since Eric had settled the matter, her parents had been calling him their son-in-law and had been treating him rather too well.At first, she didn't say anything and thought that they were going to stop, but much to her shock, her mother was even asking when they were going to get married.After managing to prepare lunch for everyone even though she was annoyed, Natalie couldn't take it anymore and kicked back saying he was not their son-in-law."Then tell us your relationship with him if he's not your boyfriend Natalie's mother, Anna, asked with a frown."He's just a security guard of the company where I worked and then happened to be the bodyguard of my boss who then asked him to bring me home today," Natalie said angrily.All of a sudden, everywhere fell silent. Natalie could feel her parent's eyes on her
"Brother, here you are," Emily said happily getting into the car immediately after Eric pulled up at the company."How was your first day at work?" Eric asked with a smile."It was perfect." Emily laughed."Sister-in-law made me the head of the finance department." Emily laughed."What did you say?" Eric frowned looking at Emily."I said my sister-in-law made me in charge of the finance department," Emily repeated what she said."Who are you calling sister-in-law?" Eric asked."Chloe of course." Emily giggled."When did I tell you that we were dating?" Eric frowned."You don't need to tell me that, I know." Emily laughed."Fine." Eric sighed feeling defeated, he knew that there was nothing he could say that was going to make Emily change her mind."So tell me why did Chloe make you the head of the finance department?" Eric asked, wanting to change the topic."Brother, take a look at this!" Emily excitedly showed Eric a video on her phone completely ignoring his questions.Eric looked a
"Tell me, what more do you know?" Simon smiled looking at Eric with a smile on his face."I don't know anything more." Eric laughed denying the fact that he knew anything."No, you've got to be joking." Simon laughed while sipping his tea. Eric had already finished the treatment for that day."I've already told you what I know yesterday." Eric laughed, shaking his head."You know you quite amaze me with your skills." Simon laughed looking at Eric."You don't need to be, I was just curious which led me to dig." Eric shrugged."Yeah, that's fine." Simon laughed."Okay, since that's the case I'd let you know what's happening." Simon continued, his voice suddenly turning serious."Are you sure you want to tell me?" Eric asked, knitting his brows."Yeah, I consider you as my son-in-law now, so there's no need for me to consider it." Simple shrugged."What if I'm also after the company and are just pretending?""That won't do." Simon laughed, "You can decide whether you want the company or n
"Brother, there's a meeting at the company today, aren't you going to stay back?" Emily frowned as she alighted from the car."And how's that my business?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow."Let's go and support my sister-in-law. You can't let those old men bully her." Emily pouted."Why should I do that?" Eric asked feeling rather confused, "Besides I'm just a small bodyguard, so what rights do I have to go into the meeting.""That doesn't concern me, you have to go with my sister-in-law to the meeting. We can't have anyone bully her." Emily said firmly, shaking her head."That's the work of her secretary, Natalie, and she's not around. So why do you want me to fill in for a job that's not mine?" Eric argued."Nope, none of my business." Emily put her hands into her ears blocking away the voice not wanting to hear what Eric was saying."But...""I can't hear you, brother," Emily said, her hands still in her ears.We both know that you can't win an argument against me, so it'll be bett
The old men frowned looking at themselves in shock. They were initially trying to scare Chloe, but it seemed like she had taken it seriously.Well, then this was a good opportunity for them to do what they wanted to do. There was no way Chloe was going to be able to get the contract in twenty-four hours.Apart from the fact that many companies better than theirs had applied for the position of sales representative, Cisco had yet to give it out. Besides, news was circulating that the CEO of the company had changed.No one knew who the new CEO was, but from the rumors, he was the one who had designed the app on the phone. Though Cisco hadn't come out to say anything about it, there was a high chance that the rumor was true."What if you're unable to get the contract within twenty-four hours." One of the old men sneered."There's no need to put on a bet or conditions, she'll be getting the contract in twenty-four hours," Eric replied on behalf of Chloe."Young man, you have no right to s
"I'm pretty sure you know what happens if I don't get the contract," Chloe asked slowly walking along the hallway with Eric."Don't worry you're going to get it," Eric assured."How sure are you?""I'm a hundred percent sure you'll get the contract," Eric said confidently walking into the elevator."What if they have given out the contract to another company, what are you going to do?" Chloe continued to ask."Then they'll be either forced to license two companies, or break the contract to give it to you." Eric shrugged."Huh?" Chloe froze upon hearing Eric's statement."You sound rather confident, tell me what you know?" Chloe turned looking at Eric suspiciously."I don't know anything," Eric shook his head, denying that he knew anything."Hmmm," Chloe muttered."Something tells me you're lying." Chloe continued, scrutinizing Eric. She could tell that he was hiding something, but as to what he was hiding, she didn't know.First, it was the fact that Eric was a rich second generation,
Chloe shivered hearing Eric's voice. She could tell that it was filled with evil intentions, but for some reason, she still asked,“What bet?”Eric's smile became sinister hearing Chloe's reply. After a while, the smile on his face disappeared, and he replied with a straight face.“If you don't get the contract, then I'll do anything you ask me to.”“Anything?” Chloe frowned, looking at Eric.“Yeah sure, anything.” Eric laughed.“But if you get the contract.” Eric said, breaking out into a sinister smile."Yes, what do you want if I get the contract?” Chloe asked, feeling rather confident, as she was confident that there was no way she was going to get the contract.No matter how close Eric was to the owner of the company, the owner would not say because he knew Eric, he was going to give her the contract, that logic was derailed and that was because they'll always prioritize profits.There are other companies that would give them five times the profit. So there was no way they were g
"Are you sure this is not wrong?" Chloe frowned looking at Micheal, ignoring Eric."You don't have to worry ma'am, I didn't make a mistake." Micheal smiled humbly in reply.It was as though he was sitting on needles. He couldn't understand what Eric was doing here with this woman.He would have rejected any forms of Cooperation with Chloe if she was here alone. This was not because her company was not good enough, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the companies of the four families.Ever since Eric took over Cisco, it had developed rapidly and now it was back to its former state. A state where it was stronger than the four families.His goal was to make it stronger than the four families combined. So getting involved with any of them was a no.But seeing Eric and Chloe together, he realized that may not be the case. The president's Fiancee was someone from the four families so he had to change his plans.Besides, it was all due to Eric's help that the company had advanced
