"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
Eric's impatience was seen all over him, suddenly, he leaned in, his voice edged with a mischievous threat. "Come on, make a choice, or I'll make it for you," he insisted, his eyes flashing with a hint of mischief. Chloe felt the weight of his words pressing down on her, unsure of how to respond. Her mind raced, but she found herself tongue-tied, caught in Eric's snare.With a sigh of resignation, Eric took control of the situation. "Fine, we're heading to the hotel," he declared, noting Chloe's hesitation.But Chloe's resistance flared up like a sudden gust of wind. "No way, we're not going to a hotel," she retorted defiantly.She refused to entertain the idea of being alone with Eric in such an intimate setting. He was a hooligan and who knew what he was going to try to do And what about her own reputation? The mere thought sent shivers down her spine.Eric's response was swift and chilling. "Then it's settled. We'll use your office, since you don't want us to go to the hotel, you
In a spacious conference room, a large round table stood in the middle of the room with chairs surrounding it. Sitting inside the conference room were ten aged men with a frown on their faces.The front seat signifying the president's seat was empty, but none of them couldn't care less at the moment and continued their discussion.“What do you think we should do about that brat?” One of the old men frowned, looking at the others.“There's no way we'll allow Simon to let that brat whom he claims to be his son-in-law, rule over us.” Another shook his head.“If he's not capable again, then he should give it to his granddaughter. She's the rightful one to take his place.” Another added.The others nodded in agreement with what that executive had said. None of them had a pure intention.As to letting Simon's granddaughter take over the company, they had already known that she knew nothing about handling a company, so they could have their way.The old man had been keeping them in place eve
“I'll be back tomorrow, there are things I need to look at first, then we'll decide on what to do next.” Eric said, turning around to look at Logan, who was still following behind him as they walked out of the company.“Yes sir.” Logan nodded, coming back to his senses.“See you tomorrow then.” Eric continued getting into the car and driving off.Logan couldn't help but breathe in a sigh of relief, seeing that Eric had left. Seemed like the executives were in on it. Mr. Simon's son-in-law was not someone to be trifled with.He didn't even know what to think. Eric's arrogant words and the way he had talked to executives made him realize he was not a person to be crossed.Furthermore, he was not the type to give a damn, and just as he had said, he would not give a damn, even if the executives refused to follow him.But that would be a major problem. Those old men were rather cunning and could turn all the employees against him.If that was to happen, then it would be something else and
