The Billionaire's Trials

Leo clapped absentmindedly with the rest of the crowd but his eyes stayed on the stage. The second reason why he is at the banquet tonight is to meet the mastermind of all these. He wants to meet the mysterious Mr Greene, the man that had single handedly led Greene's conglomerate to success for years. The man seems to be the only solution to his current problem. If he could just meet up with Mr Greene once, perhaps he'd be able to convince him... Convince him to help him in creating another PLATINUM. Perhaps the man will be convinced to help him in creating a new jewelry company. Just one word from the man, it can easily make Leo's worries disperse. Even though barely anyone knows who Mr Greene is or what he looks like because his conglomerate has always been headed by representatives, everyone actually holds that man in high accord. If Mr Greene is willing to sponsor his new business idea, he is certain that he would make another insurmountable feat in the business world and p

Three days later, Leo examined the spacious reception room, looking through the transparent glass windows and doors. He felt out of place, just sitting there, watching employees scurry to and fro. He tapped his fingers repeatedly on the seat as he glanced at the old, cracked watch on his wrist. He's been waiting there for the past forty five minutes but no one attended to him. He tried to approach the receptionist earlier but after giving him a quick look, she ignored him and he was forced to find a seat. Was this how his own receptionist used to behave to people? The thought slowly seeped in his mind. Did she use to treat people based on their appearances? Did she cast them out if they weren't well dressed like him? "Excuse me mister," A feminine voice interrupted the chain of thoughts in Leo's head. He looked up and saw that the receptionist finally noticed him. He stood up hurriedly, clutching the bag in his hand tightly. Not like a treasure was in it. It's just the cont

Leo sniffed and nodded. He wiped the corner of his eyes and read the remaining part of the agreement. The few things Mr James mentioned to him earlier were in it. He continued reading until he saw another baffling request in the agreement. "Grandfather!," He called out, making James turn to look at him sharply. James already knows why Leo called his attention so he just stared back and waited to hear what he had to say. "I have to bear the family's name also?," Leo sounded confused. James nodded. "After signing this agreement, you would be allowed to bear the family name. That is if you want to. Did you read it well? I am not making it compulsory for you to carry on my legacy. It's just a...," He let his words trail off. Leo blinked. It's just what? Why is he leaving his words halfway? "I understand," He assured James and then swiftly signed in the required places. He's gone through the agreement and has no other complaints. He has realized that everything written in the agre

#Mason's Group Of Companies Acquired Tim's Group Successfully# Leo's eyes turned rigid as he watched Scott smiling happily in a video that was tagged to the headline. The bastard acquired one more asset to his name, making another stance in the business world. He increased the volume of his phone and the room resounded with Scott's voice as he entertained the media happily. "This wouldn't be a success if it wasn't for the capable team backing me up," Scott's words were loud and clear as he pointed to a group of people. The media and the crowd cheered loudly as familiar faces stepped on the stage. Leo shook with anger as he watched the people he had painstakingly trained for years standing behind Scott. Everyone of them is an employee of Platinum. People he had brought up from scratch and modified their talents. Now someone else is reaping off their success. Leo switched off the phone in anger and threw it on the bed. He drained his wine quickly and filled the glass to the bri

So he didn't have to go through the stress of walking to the front. He noticed that the chair at the head of the table was vacant. James was sitting on a chair next to that one. He smiled as soon as he saw Leo walk in. He gestured to him to sit on the chair. The employees exchanged glances curiously as Leo advanced to the chair reserved just for the Ceo. Some of them could barely resist displaying their surprise when he sat down. Their curious gazes were immediately directed to James, demanding for an explanation. When Leo finally sat down, James stood up. Jake was standing behind Leo like he always does for James but now that James has handed that power to Leo, he'd sworn to serve Leo just as he served James. He was holding his notepad as always. "Good morning Ceo James!," The employees chorused. James didn't respond to their greetings. Instead, he shook his head to show his displeasure. "You should show respect to your new Ceo instead," He pointed at Leo and the room turned
