Melissa left after having spent the day with Dylan. Her heart felt happy and joyful to share time with the man, something that she would rarely be able to do.Dylan promised to return to the Watson residence in the near future. However, he needed to make preparations before his return to the house.By now, Melissa had returned to her house with a flowery heart, while Dylan was alone with Maya in the living room.The working hours were fully over, and the time was drawing to a close as Maya began to recount what she had done at Monarch.Honestly, there were many issues that needed to be improved and fixed, as well as removed. One of Maya's concerns was to stop using the financial budget for non-urgent matters.After Maya checked the financial records provided by the finance department, the woman could only shake her head when she saw the company's money being used for something other than the company's functions."I didn't expect them to squander so much money like that," Maya revealed
***The next day"Is there something you want to talk about?" Melissa asked.Yesterday evening, Dylan called Melissa immediately to ask her to come to the Sullivan residence tomorrow.Today, following Dylan's request, Melissa made time to attend the Sullivan residence. However, the woman did not know the reason why Dylan had asked her to come.Melissa came in a neat outfit, a black suit and knee-length skirt. She came accompanied by her assistant; Melissa had introduced her assistant to Dylan. The assistant's name was Mira."It's about my plan to live with you," Dylan replied.At that moment, there was only Dylan in the living room of the Sullivan residence. Melissa did not see Maya or any of the men's bodyguards beside Dylan."How about that?" asked Melissa, showing her interest."I want to live separately from your family," replied Dylan."What do you mean?" asked Melissa, confused."It has to do with Robert. You know, I've taken Monarch away from him. I'm afraid he might harm me be
"And what about your leadership of Sully Corp?" asked Nathan, visibly affected by the effects of his favorite alcoholic beverage.Dylan smiled. It was a basic question for businessmen when they saw Dylan's current condition.For them, it would be difficult to coordinate with his injuries. But not Dylan. Despite his broken legs and hands, he was ready to lead Sully because all Dylan needed was his brain.Moreover, with the advancement of technology, meetings and gatherings could be organized in a hybrid way; Dylan through a video conference, while the directors were at work.According to Dylan, there are many ways for him to maintain leadership at Sully Corp. For this reason, Dylan was not too concerned about Nathan's question."I can still lead them, because all it takes is my mind, not my body," Dylan said.Nathan nodded, then lifted his lips up as he pointed at the man beside him. The intoxicating effects of alcohol had completely taken Nathan's mind off things for a while until the
***Evening.Right when he was having dinner with Richard, Louis, and Maya, Dylan's phone rang quite loudly. The loud ringing sound of Dylan's phone made the three people who were having dinner with him startled. Richard hurriedly turned to the side, looking at Dylan."Who's calling you at this time of night?" Richard asked."It's Melissa," Dylan said, just as the young man could see Melissa's contact number on his phone screen."Is there something she wants to discuss?" asked Louis."Probably about our plans to live together," Dylan replied.The phone call was immediately picked up by Dylan, as Melissa's soft-sounding voice spoke to Dylan. She greeted him with a welcome and asked how he was doing."How are you?" asked Melissa in the phone call."I'm fine. What do you need to call at this time of night?" asked Dylan, getting straight to the point.Melissa didn't hesitate to start telling Dylan what she wanted to say. Just as Dylan had anticipated, she explained the substance of her c
The car driven by Mira drove away from the Sullivan residence with Dylan and Melissa sitting together in the back seat."Don't you have any important work at Happyway?" asked Dylan, starting the conversation with Melissa.Melissa paused with a wide smile, turning her head to the side to look at Dylan intently, "I do have an important meeting with the department director this afternoon. However, I've already prepared the materials for the meeting.Dylan nodded, fully understanding what Melissa had just said. He knew very well that Melissa could handle it, so it was easy for Melissa to say that her work had been handled well."And how is Robert?" asked Dylan."His mental state is improving. The more he's away from you, the better he is," Melissa replied."I apologize for taking Monarch away from him. It was certainly only done to save Monarch from destruction," said Dylan."I can understand that. My brother managed Monarch poorly. Perhaps under your and the Sullivans' leadership, Monarc
After the VVIP apartment was enough for them, Dylan as the head of the family began to sign the paperwork provided by the Loren Tower. He sat with Luis, the manager of the place, while Melissa left with the receptionist who had followed them.Melissa was escorted by the receptionist not to go back downstairs, but was taken on a tour of all the luxurious facilities in the building.Dylan's legal wife could see that there were various facilities that could spoil them, such as a gym, jacuzzi, swimming pool, meeting room, small cinema, and supermarket.All of these facilities are provided and have the right to be used by apartment residents, with the exception of a small cinema which is arguably a private cinema that can only be enjoyed by apartment residents of the VVIP class."I'm quite impressed with the facilities offered by you guys," Melissa replied."We are trying our best to entertain and spoil the residents of Loren Tower. Since Miss Melissa is a VVIP class apartment resident, y
In the end, Dylan decided to go along with Melissa. They walked down from the 50th floor of Loren Tower to the first floor, where Mira was waiting for them in the lobby of Loren Tower. Melissa not only had a meeting scheduled with Robert but also with the department director. This was in response to changing consumer behavior in choosing food products, especially frozen food.If Melissa couldn't find a concrete solution to the issues they were facing, it was not impossible for Happyway to meet the same fate as Monarch. However, with Melissa's extensive experience and sharp wit, she could undoubtedly handle such minor problems. The only solution that crossed her mind was to find new innovations that their regular customers would love.Both of them seemed to be inside the car already, Mira sitting in the driver's seat while Melissa and Dylan occupied the passenger seats in the back. Dylan kept an eye on the roads beside them, which weren't too busy yet as it was still before lunch b
Dylan's presence there helped Maya a lot. Dylan helped explain to the two people before him that the percentage of shares was necessary to maintain a balance of shareholders in Monarch.The representatives of Harold's family nodded, understanding every word that came out of Dylan's mouth. They agreed to invest in Monarch for a modest amount.Although it wasn't much, Dylan still felt grateful that they were willing to put their trust in Monarch under Maya's leadership. Maya was also happy and proud that her hard work at Monarch over the past week had paid off.The Harold family representatives said goodbye, walking out of the Monarch CEO's office. Now, only Dylan and Maya were in the room."I'm not so bold as to discuss the percentage of shares without you. I'm afraid your decision will cause losses on your side," Maya said.Dylan smiled. It was natural for Maya to be like that considering she was only the CEO, not the owner. In the end, Maya had to consult with Dylan regarding the per
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
