The Billionaire's Trials 117: Made A Certain Director Tongue-tied.
"With four votes, it has been concluded that Mr Greene won. So Mr Greene Miles will be our next chairman!" Jake gulped and held the door frame as he watched the middle-aged man in the middle of the conference room announce the most absurd news he has ever heard. How could these groups of greedy old wackos elect someone that isn't even part of the directing board? Someone that has never been part of the directing board! He glanced outside the room once again hoping to catch sight of his boss this time but the empty hallway entertained his eyes. He sighed in disappointment and looked away. If the boss doesn't really show up today, he is surely going to lose the company. It's even worse that he as the assistant can't do anything to assist his boss. But with Miles in the board meeting and others, he isn't in a favorable position to counter their decision. Who would have thought that Miles would even show up? "But Mr Greene isn't even part of the directors!," Jake heaved a s
The Billionaire's Trials 118: Are You Scared Uncle?
"Grandfather, why are you still on the seat? Kindly stand up," Leo appeared to be pissed off but he tried to control himself. After all, this is Miles... Miles Greene, brother of that kind-hearted man, James. The least he could do to honor the dead is to show some respect to his brother even if the man is undeserving of his respect. Ever since that welcome party James threw for him at the family house, he had sensed some kind of animosity. Not towards him only. He had sensed some kind of animosity from Miles and his family towards Heaven, Victoria and James but he had immediately dispelled the thoughts. Why would someone show that kind of hatred towards his own brother? But now... Miles' action has proven to him that he might not be entirely wrong about what he felt at that party. Your brother had just died. You should be mourning him not trying to steal away the company from the person he left in charge! Shouldn't you show some trust to your brother? At least, he wouldn't have ch
The Billionaire's Trials 119: Escort The Trash Out.
Jake snickered as he looked at the old men. Have they no shame at all? They were all supporting Miles just now before Leo arrived. But his powerful demeanor has scared them all to make them want to switch sides huh? Jake glanced at Miles and couldn't help but feel a premonition with how calm he was. This old man won't let Leo have his way easily will he? Gulping slightly, he looked at his wristwatch and peeped out of the room again to see if anyone was in the hallway. At the sight of the empty hallway, a huge frown appeared on his face. "Why isn't he here yet?," He mumbled slowly. "Alright then. Let's have another voting session," Leo's loud voice drew his attention. The directors heaved a sigh of relief. But some of them couldn't help stealing glances at Miles who hasn't uttered another word since Leo started selecting out the directors. Would he really let this juvenile Ceo win? But just as Jake thought, immediately the directors agreed to organize another voting se
The Billionaire's Trials 120: Jealous Tone.
Heaven adjusted her sunshades and walked into the restaurant. She wondered why Mae asked her to come here. Is this place supposed to cheer her up or what? But the moment she walked into the seafood restaurant, she understood why. She sucked in a deep breath as she took in the beauty of the restaurant. The interior design is familiar to her because she's the... Nevertheless, she never got to see the result so now staring at the beautiful interior design of the warm and bustling restaurant actually made her feel less tense. What more? The restaurant is by the sea side so those that get to sit by the window side also gets to experience the water movement. Glancing at the number on her phone, she headed to a table and was pleased to discover that it's actually by the window side. As she made her way to the table, she didn't notice the way heads turned, following her movement till she sat down. There weren't alot of people though since it's just mid-day. She was just about
The Billionaire's Trials 121: Coincidentally Or Intentionally?(─.─||
Heaven ignored her and looked around, wondering if it's alright to remove her shades and scarf as she really isn't in the mood to answer paparazzi questions now in case there's one lurking around the corner. "Nah... Nah... Nah, just keep that on. I brought you out here for a nice, relaxing lunch not to be bombarded by hungry reporters," Mae warned as if she already sensed what she was thinking about. She resisted an urge to roll her eyes at this statement. Why not just book a room for them alone? "I just thought it would be less depressing with the presence of others here," Mae answered again if she had just read her mind. "Would you quit doing that?," Heaven snickered with a fake frustrated look. Mae chuckled again as a waiter headed to their table and collected their menus. His eyes stayed a minute longer on Heaven before walking away like he didn't want anyone to catch him staring. His actions didn't escape Mae's eyes because her smile grew wider. "Shouldn't you two ti
The Billionaire's Trials 122: Q... is back.
"Mr Hawk!?," Someone exclaimed again. "How come you are here?" Everyone turned to the director that uttered these words. It was the same pot bellied director that's been supporting Miles this whole time. They all cast suspicious glances at him and he realized what he had said. "What do you mean? Can I not be here?," Mr Hawk questioned as he entered the conference room in long, confident strides. "No! No, that's not what I mean," The director hurriedly denied and tried to reframe his words. "You have never shown up at any of the board meetings so I was naturally surprised to see you like I'm sure others are too." The room nodded with agreement. Mr Hawk smiled and picked a seat casually. "Carry on. I am not disturbing your activity, am i? I'm only slightly upset that no one informed me of such an important voting session." As he said this, his eyes trailed to Leo again. The latter was already watching him so their eyes collided. They shared a smile that didn't reach either of t
The Billionaire's Trials 123: It Made No Sense At All.
Jake appeared puzzled. Q? Who is that again? Leo recognized the look on his face and shook his head in disappointment. "Have you forgotten so soon about the private investigator Larson hired?" It was as if a light bulb was suddenly switched on because Jake immediately nodded though the look on his face wasn't a happy one. He could still remember their last meeting with Larson back then at the hospital. He could still remember how the so-called lawyer shamelessly hogged all of his boss's attention. "What has Q got to do with all this boss?," He discreetly reminded Leo of the question he had asked. "He sent all those information to me just before I got to the company this morning," Leo enunciated with a little smile. "I do not know he got to know that I was going to attend a board meeting." Thinking about what had happened in the conference room earlier made Jake boil with anger again. "They really thought uncle Miles would become the new chairman of the company. I wonder how he's
The Billionaire's Trials 124: Liar!
Jake subtly moved an inch closer to listen to the conversation and unknowingly bent low. "I already informed them. Dad knows I'm here but he doesn't know the reason. I just wanna make sure you are really fine as you claim to be." Jake's eyes widened when he heard the familiar pleasant voice. Valerie? Valerie is in San Francisco? "I already told you that I'm fine. Send the name of the hotel you lodged in to me. I'll visit you as soon as I'm through with my workload," Leo didn't notice Jake eavesdropping. He had even forgotten about the latter's presence. "I'm not at any hotel. I changed my mind. Father has a small villa here that is barely used. I'll send the address to you. Come over as soon as you can," Her voice lowered with each word, sounding sultry to one's ears. Jake suddenly felt aggrieved. He is the one clearly engaged but why is it the boss that's enjoying a sensual relationship like this? "Sure," Leo's reply was short. The phone went silent and Jake stood
