The Dark Side of the Heir

Part 6

"I disagree, Dad"

Everyone in the dining room turned their heads towards the man who had just opened his voice, that man was none other than Brion.

Michel turned his head towards the direction of the voice, a man with a face almost similar to Alberto's, was staring hostilely at him.

"Dad doesn't need your approval. No one can prevent an absolute decision from Dad including you."

BRAK!

Michel was shocked when the man, who turned out to be his half-brother, just left by making the chair he had been sitting on fall to the floor.

"You don't have to listen to him, Michel." Alberto finally said.

 

In the morning.

"Good morning, Young Master!"

Michel's sleep was disturbed by Daniel's sudden presence at the bedside, standing with his body slightly bent.

Michel furrowed his brow as if to explain how the man felt ambiguous about Daniel's sudden presence.

"As Mr. Alberto said last night. Starting today, you will go to the office. The director will introduce Young Master to all the employees in the office as the new Ceo there."

Daniel gave an explanation in accordance with his duty which was to provide all understanding to the man.

A long sigh of exasperation escaped the man's mouth.

The image of Alberto introducing himself as his biological father to Alberto's sudden announcement that his company would be inherited by Michel was now spinning in the man's head.

It succeeded in making Michel's hand reach out, massaging his head softly.

"You can wait outside. I'll get ready." Michel said asking the assistant to come out of his room immediately.

In accordance with Michel's orders, Daniel then went out of the room.

A few moments after Daniel's departure, the door that had been closed suddenly opened again. A man who had just left last night, entered the room with a hostile look.

"Remember, Michel, I won't allow any of this."

Michel could only swallow saliva, his gaze continuing to stare at Brion who left after saying that. Michel could only sigh, it seemed that his day would not be easy. He also hurried to get ready.

"Have you bathed, Michel?"

Michel was taken aback when a voice greeted the new one coming out from inside the bathroom.

Alberto smiled, a long sigh escaping his mouth as he understood his son's awkward behavior with him.

"Dad knows, all this must be hard for you to accept. All of this has indeed been Dad's mistake. I shouldn't have left you two at that time. I deserve this treatment from you."

Alberto placed one palm of his right hand on his son's shoulder. A forced smile was etched on the middle-aged man's face.

"There is no need to bring it up again. What happened, let it happen."

For a long time, silence enveloped the two of them. Now, Alberto raised his face to stare at the son who had just said his words.

"Did you say something, Michel?"

Alberto looked incredulous at what he heard. Meanwhile, Michel, who received such a look, chose to be indifferent.

"Everything takes time. But, hearing that you've made peace with everything, that's more than enough for Dad to hear." Alberto smiled so wide.

The middle-aged man looked very happy with everything.

"Oh yes, this. Dad knows, you must be confused about what to wear. Wear this black suit and shirt and pants. As for the shoes you're wearing, I'll have Daniel deliver them to you."

Michel accepted all the gifts from Alberto without saying a word.

"Cheer up for today. Dad believes you'll get through everything well."

Michel just looked at the middle-aged man without showing any expression. The man seemed to be looking at a suit that he could estimate to cost hundreds of millions.

"At the very least, I'm doing all of this because I'm sure Mom would also be happy when she sees my life become much better than before." Michel muttered before finally preparing to leave for his destination.

"We have arrived, Young Master."

Michel lifted his face. The man was stunned for a moment as he realized the huge towering building before him was very familiar to his vision.

"This is..."

Daniel seemed to nod his head.

"That's right, Young Master. The office that was your last workplace, this is now your property."

As if he understood the young master's shocked face, Daniel emphasized everything.

Michel got out of the car with a look in his eyes that was still incredulous.

"Come, young master.

I will meet Young Master with the director of this office."

Daniel bowed slightly as a sign of respect to the man.

Not forgetting, Daniel also invited Michel to walk ahead of him.

All eyes seemed to stare in disbelief at Michel who now came with an assistant behind him. Moreover, the different clothes worn by Michel make everyone wonder about Michel's current status.

"Is that true, Michel? Didn't he say he was fired?"

Whisper after whisper did not escape the man's hearing. Michel just chose to remain silent without saying anything else.

Daniel then led the young master to the elevator there.

"Mr. Daniel?"

The company director suddenly bowed himself in front of Daniel. His eyes then shifted to Michel who was there.

"You? Didn't I tell you not to..."

"Mr. Director. Keep your talk to Young Master. Now, Young Master will be the CEO of this company."

The director quickly shut his mouth. Over and over again, Michel heard the word sorry come out of the director's mouth.

"It's okay. I know who is to blame for the incident.." Michel said wisely.

The director also thanked Michel very much, he promised to be much wiser in handling every employee of his subordinates.

"Because from now on Young Master will take charge of this company. I ask Mr. Director to announce to all employees in this company that you are the new CEO of this company."

The director nodded his head in agreement. Immediately, he rushed to have all the employees gather in the center of the office.

Everyone seemed to flock to the director's words. None of them dared to leave the place that had been determined by their director.

Michel smiled faintly. He then swept his gaze to all corners of the workplace that had once been in him among the ranks.

Michel's gaze stopped at one point, where the two people who had betrayed him were standing next to each other.

This suddenly made Michel even more convinced that what was in his mind at that time was indeed true.

"Look, what I'm going to do to you guys."

Michel gave a lopsided smile. He really felt happy with what he saw at the moment.

"Attention everyone! I hope you've all gathered. I have an important announcement to make today."

The director raised his voice, making all eyes in the room focus on the man. Right beside the director, Michel stood with his chin raised looking slightly indifferent.

Meanwhile, Daniel, with a strapping body typical of a personal assistant, was faithfully behind Michel.

To be honest, Michel still couldn't believe what was happening in his life right now. The company that left a wound in his heart was now really his.

His hard life has drastically changed into a glamorous and more than adequate one.

"Listen everyone, starting today. Mr. Michel will take over the company that we are currently working for. Mr. Michel is the new CEO of this company. So, I hope that no one will look or wonder about Mr. Michel's presence here. Say hello to Mr. Michel!"

Everyone who was there looked shocked, they did not expect Michel to be the owner of the company.

As the director said, all the employees raised their voices to respectfully greet the new CEO of their office.

"Good morning, Mr. Michel!"

Everyone bowed in respect to the man. Rio and his former best friend James bowed respectfully as well.

Just as the two men straightened their bodies, their eyes accidentally fell on Michel's eyes.

The man then pulled the corners of his lips to form a lopsided smile on his face.

You could see how Rio and James immediately turned pale. Both of them, not stupid people who do not understand the sign language symbolized by Michel.

"Now, everyone can return to their respective places. Work well again."

Everyone dismissed themselves. Not to mention the two people whose hearts had now become uncertain.

"Come, Mr. Michel. I'll take Mr. Michel to your room." The director seemed to offer to take Michel to the man's room.

Michel raised his hand, shaking his head for a moment.

"Go back to where you work. Daniel will take me to my room." Michel refused politely.

After the man's departure, Daniel then led the young master to the room where he was supposed to be.

"Please, young master. This is your room."

Daniel opened the door to Michel's room. The man was again mesmerized by everything in the room.

Michel walked over and sat down in his oversized chair. "Daniel. Can I ask you a favor?" Michel asked Daniel.

"Of course, Young Master." Daniel replied respectfully.

"Call the manager and the employee in the finance division. Tell him to come to me right now!" Michel ordered indisputably.
