"I see, huh? When exactly are you going to see Robert?" asked Nathan, staring ahead where Dylan was still standing next to Helen.
Dylan held his hands up to his chest, his eyes looking at the fancy watch he always wore. It was 11am, making it impossible for Dylan to go to the Monarch.
"They're probably on their lunch break. If Helen doesn't mind, we can go after the break," Dylan replied.
Helen nodded. After all, it was no problem for her to go with Dylan. There was nothing else for her to do today, nor was Helen's curiosity about the process of selling the shares in Monarch.
Out of curiosity, Helen decided to go with Dylan. Helen's assistant had no objection to Helen's wish.
"After Rockefeller sold their shares to Sullivan,
The motorcade carrying representatives of the entrepreneur's family stopped. The three cars came to a halt when they arrived in front of the Monarch office, where the employees were about to return to work.The arrival of the three of them startled the people inside the lobby of the Monarch office. The employees stopped what they were doing, pausing in their steps with their eyes focused to the side."Who's here?" asked one of the employees.The co-worker next to him seemed to shake his head, not knowing about them at all, "I don't know, maybe they're Mr. Robert's guests."Dylan came out of the car first, followed by Nathan, and finally Helen. All three of them looked well-dressed, had handsome and charming faces, and most importantly, they came from prominent families i
"What? You want to acquire Monarch from me?" Robert asked.Robert's voice was raised at that moment, his serious face looking straight ahead at Dylan. The man didn't expect Dylan to propose something like that."Do you know what is required in a company acquisition?" Robert asked.Before Dylan proposed the acquisition, he had learned a lot about the requirements to offer the acquisition.He had just acquired a large stake from two prominent business families in the country; there were several files that Dylan needed to prepare to apply for the acquisition of Monarch."Did you think I didn't know about it? I knew it long ago, right before I bought the shares from Lawrence and Rockefeller," Dylan revealed.
Dylan stepped away, walking over to the elevator doors leading to Monarch's offices' first floor.Still occasionally wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, Helen reached into her bag and handed Dylan a clean handkerchief.Dylan was initially surprised by the handover, but Helen confirmed Dylan needed the handkerchief far more than she did."Thank you," Dylan stated.The man immediately folded the handkerchief and began wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, the impact of the blow Robert had given him."If you want to destroy Robert immediately, the best option is to go to the police," Nathan replied, making a suggestion.Dylan cleared his throat. He had to admit it was a powerful way to undermine Robert's credibility as Monarch's CEO, but it would also harm the news about Monarch."The impact will create a snowball effect. Sure, Robert will be arrested and charged with violence, but Monarch's image will also be ruined, and I'll lose from that," Dylan revealed."So, you d
They continued to drive away from that place, heading towards Melissa's F&B company. The location of the company was not far from the Watson residence.It was just an ordinary office with five floors, smaller than Monarch or Sully Corp. However, one thing they had to be proud of was the number of factories producing their food products, most of which were frozen foods.Dylan was still waiting for the car to stop in front of Melissa's corporate office, Happyway Company. From a distance, both Dylan and Diaz's eyes could catch the presence of the office where Melissa worked as the CEO with the Happyway logo on it."Is that the company Melissa works for?" Diaz asked, making sure.Dylan cleared his throat. Although it had been a while since he delivered food for Melissa t
Together with Melissa, Dylan continued to walk away from the area in front of the meeting room to arrive at Melissa's office. Melissa entered first, followed only by Dylan behind her back."What exactly do you want to talk about?" asked Melissa, right when she arrived at the place.By now, Dylan was fully inside Melissa's study. The woman's workspace looked neat and smelled good, with files neatly arranged in a wooden cabinet.Almost as neat were the files on her desk, with only a laptop and a few other items on it that must have been related to Melissa's work."I heard something from Robert, about our son," Dylan replied, firmly.Melissa, who was sitting on the single seat sofa, couldn't hide her surprise, her eyes widened w
The journey was so short that Dylan had already arrived at the Sullivan residence, with his right hand still holding the file of the sale and purchase agreement that had been signed by the three parties; Sullivan, Rockefeller, and Watson.Dylan needed to keep the file well, simply so that if something bad happened between the three families regarding the purchase and sale agreement, Dylan could provide proof.The black sedan carrying Dylan pulled up right in front of the Sullivan house, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, a sign that Richard and Louis had gone home."Thanks, Diaz. Go get some rest," Dylan pleaded.Diaz nodded, staying in the driver's seat because Dylan forbade him to open the door for him. Dylan opened the door himself, stepping forward to leave the b
"What? Robert hit you in the face?" Maya asked. Hearing Dylan get hit by Robert's shocking punch made Maya furious. She wanted to rush at Robert, punch him in the face, and scold him for being so rude. Dylan tried to calm Maya down. The two of them were still in Dylan's room, talking about many things, especially about Dylan's activities this afternoon. Maya listened to everything, from the dispute that occurred while signing the sale and purchase agreement to Dylan's arrival at the Happyway company. The man did not tell her further about his reasons for coming to Melissa's company. He wanted to keep Maya's mind at ease during her pregnancy, which was prone to miscarriage. "What are you doing at the company?" Maya asked. "Of course, to carry out the second phase of the plan, to destroy Melissa and the Happyway company," Dylan replied. He sat on the single-seat couch, the seat previously used by Richard. He stared ahead, watching Maya, who was still sitting back on her bed. "I
The bodyguards swiftly took the injured Dylan and Diaz to the hospital. One SUV followed the ambulance, while the other SUV waited at the scene to provide information to the police.Dylan was still unconscious, his condition was quite severe and required extra care to save the man's life, as did Diaz.One of the bodyguards who had Maya's contact number immediately called the woman. He began to tell her what had happened to Dylan."What? Dylan had an accident!" cried Maya, shocked."That's right, Miss Maya. Dylan's white sedan was hit by another car at the intersection," the bodyguard replied."Wait. I'll be right there," Maya replied.Without thinking, Maya put her clothes back on
The Next Day.Dylan woke up earlier than Melissa, despite both of them having a great time last night celebrating Dylan's appointment as CEO of Sully Corp. While in the bathroom, sinking into the bathtub filled with warm water and bubbles, Dylan kept thinking of ways to quickly bring down the valuation of Happyway company."Should I execute the same plan as I did with Monarch?" Dylan pondered.He reached for his phone, noticing the time was half past six in the morning. As the new CEO of Sully Corp, he should at least be there before eight."Sigh. Seems like I should discuss this with someone other than Maya," Dylan muttered.He quickly rose from the bathtub, grabbed his bathrobe, and exited after drying himself. The bathroom door was ajar, and Melissa was still sound asleep, a serene smile adorning her beautiful face. Despite being asleep, Dylan had to admit she looked beautiful.Her face reminded him of Sean, Melissa's ex, who cheated on her with another woman. Sean was also th
That day ended earlier than it should have. Dylan bid farewell to Maya, considering their discussion about Monarch's future and its business strategy changes. Maya nodded, though she still felt annoyed with Dylan. However, she realized that the managerial questions seemed directed towards him.Maya remained in her office when the clock struck four in the afternoon. Silva had left half an hour ago, along with other employees who left at three. "Do you have so many things that you're late to leave?" someone asked, appearing in front of the Monarch CEO's office with a briefcase.Maya looked up, seeing it was Lindis. She came to invite Maya to relax before going home. "By the way, your presentation was great. I could clearly understand the plan," Lindis remarked, walking in and sitting on the sofa while opening a jar of candy."What do you think? I felt a bit nervous earlier," Maya asked, seeking Lindis' opinion."You handled it well; I'm sure it's because of the abilities you posses
Dylan and Maya are now in the meeting room on the top floor of the Monarch building. Maya is the one who will start the meeting with discussions related to Monarch's business plan changes. Before they begin the discussion, Dylan informs Maya about what the Sullivan Family will do with Monarch in the future.One of the discussions between Dylan and Maya is certainly related to the change in Monarch's business plan."I want to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this meeting," Maya explains.Assisted by Silva, Maya's secretary, the woman who is also the CEO of Monarch begins to explain why she has called the Monarch managerial leaders for the meeting."Previously, I gave you all a form to fill out with your opinions. Now, I want to discuss the conclusions from that feedback form," Maya replies.Maya looks to the side to gaze at Silva, then the woman nods. She gestures to Silva to help her move the presentation slides she has prepared. Dylan sits ri
"Buying Monarch?" asked Maya, shocked with both eyes wide. "That's right. We've been monitoring the valuation of every company in the city. Among the many companies, Monarch is the only one that meets our criteria," Alen replied. Dylan walked over to Maya who looked shocked and had nothing more to say. It wasn't wrong for them to buy it, Maya was sure they had more than enough money to buy Monarch. But for Maya, it was the same as paying for her work and would put hundreds of Monarch staff out of work. She wanted to refuse their request, but she needed to talk to Dylan. Maya swallowed her saliva deeply, turned her head to the side and looked at Dylan's serious expression. Dylan's eyes were focused ahead, on Alen and Nicholas. "I'm sorry, it seems that none of the companies under my auspices have any intention of selling," Dylan replied, returning their words with a broad smile. "Oh, I see, yeah? Who are you, if I may ask? Why are you trying to intimidate Miss Maya?" asked Ni
Although Dylan has fully taken over the leadership of Sully Corp, it is certain that Dylan will be working effectively tomorrow. Alice needs to design and organize some things that Dylan might need, such as job sheets and investment files.For today was the last day for Richard Sullivan to hold the reins of power. His burden was completely released and seemed to be sent towards Dylan."Where are you going?" asked Richard, curious.Dylan stopped his footsteps, looking back to see Richard sitting on the chair behind the CEO's desk."I'm going with Maya to Monarch," Dylan replied."What are you going to do with Maya there?" asked Louis, curious."Just a discussion about the future of Monarch. When I rise to CEO, Monarch will be completely under my control, right?" asked Dylan."You're right. Monarch was the first company you managed to acquire through the acquisition process," Richard replied."That's why I want to discuss the future of Monarch properly with Maya, after all, she is sti
Ambition is like a double-edged knife. It can plunge someone into the abyss of evil, but it can also lead them to goodness.In this case, Dylan's ambition is one that leads to good. He is ambitious to build a new company and make people recognize that Sullivan under his leadership is the best.The interview session over, the reporters were happy that they had gotten the story they wanted. Now, they could go home and publish the story in their media.Dylan took a deep breath, then let it out. It wasn't just the reporters who were relieved, but Dylan was too. The man was happy to realize the interview session had ended well.Richard turned his head to the side, looking at Dylan intently. None of Dylan's statements would adversely affect Sully.The old man was also amazed to find that Dylan could control himself and his thoughts so well, especially when he got pressure-filled questions from reporters."Looks like I don't have much to teach you, Dylan," Richard explained.Dylan turned his
The meeting finished on time, the signing between Dylan and Richard on a file was completed. Now, the leadership duties at Sully were fully transferred to Dylan, the new CEO of Sully Corp.Dylan waved at them, smiling as he tried to make a good impression on the important people in front of him.The shareholders were relieved to see that Sully had a new leader. Now, the success and growth of Sully's business was entirely in the hands of Dylan Sullivan.Dylan turned his head toward the right front, looking at Maya who was also seated among the other shareholders. The woman's eyes were teary, holding back the emotion of Dylan's success in achieving his goal of reaching the pinnacle of leadership at Sully.Richard walked over to Dylan, whispering something in the man's ear, "It's time for you to go greet the shareholders.""I'll do that," Dylan explained, his voice soft.The man stepped to the side, down the steps until he was fully in front of the shareholders. Dylan began shaking han
Dylan, along with Maya, stepped into the elevator together to reach the top floor. Dylan could see several employees looking enthusiastic upon his arrival, a sign that they were welcoming him warmly.They believed Dylan would bring a fresh perspective to Sully Corp, especially with the brilliant ideas he could offer. The employees had already heard about Dylan successfully seizing Monarch, Sully Corp's longtime rival. This alone demonstrated Dylan's capabilities, especially in management and business competition."Have they arrived?" Dylan asked, quite curious.Maya nodded. Just before she came to pick up Dylan, she had previously gone upstairs. She saw some of the shareholders had already arrived and were getting ready to welcome the announcement of Sully Corp's new CEO."I saw some of them had already arrived; the rest might be on their way," Maya replied."Are you nervous?" Maya asked, glancing sideways.Dylan cleared his throat, shaking his head. He no longer felt anxious or nerv
***The next day."Good luck with your first day as CEO of Sully," Melissa says.Both of them had finished eating breakfast that morning, Dylan had made it. Melissa helped him enough, she was starting to be able to do things in the kitchen.Now, Dylan looked neat in a white shirt and black suit, plus the black vest he always wore. Melissa does not remain silent, she also helps Dylan to wear a tie. Now, Dylan really looked like a young CEO who would always be dreamed of by women in this country.The woman before Dylan realized Dylan's good looks, precisely after the man wore such a formal businessman's suit. If only Melissa had seen him dressed like that before, perhaps she wouldn't have fallen into the abyss of her affair with Sean."How do I look?" asked Dylan, asking Melissa softly.The man was standing before a large mirror with Melissa looking directly behind him. Melissa's arms reached forward and hugged Dylan from behind."So stunning. I'm sure the ladies there will be amazed
