Melissa and Dylan began to leave their apartment together. Even though Dylan was fully recovered, Melissa still forbade Dylan to drive the car.Dylan didn't mind at all, after all, both of them were heading to the same destination.Dylan sat in the passenger seat close to the driver's seat, while Melissa was the one holding the steering wheel.The distance from Loren Tower to Happyway is longer than the distance from Loren Tower to Monarch or Sully Corp. However, the long distance wouldn't seem so long if the two of them talked to each other during the journey."I'm quite curious about how you're doing at Happyway," said Dylan.Melissa smiled widely, feeling challenged to do her best work. She wanted Dylan to praise her performance by saying that Happyway was doing well under Melissa's leadership.The black sedan drove on the inner-city highway heading south, where Happyway's factory and office were located.The road was a bit congested, but it did not make the spirit in Melissa's hea
Dylan waited for the shareholders' meeting to be over, which was exactly what he did in CEO Melissa's office. From what Dylan could see, there were many loopholes to bring down Happyway. However, it would be difficult if he used the exact same method as the previous plan. He did not expect that Happyway had grown so much since the last time he remembered.The only way to bring down the credibility of an F&B company was to ruin its products, spread bad rumors, and so on.However, Happyway was not a company that had just been built a year or two back. Happyway is almost five years old since it was first founded by Georgina.With the amount of experience gained in those five years, it was certain that Happyway would be difficult to conquer if Dylan used the usual methods.The man stood up from his seat on the sofa, stepping sideways until he came to a sizable window, displaying the three factories located on the premises.Dylan's eyes were still looking straight ahead, staring at the th
"So, you two planned this together?" Nathan asked.Dylan, standing in front of Nathan, nodded. He still had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, precisely as he spoke with Nathan.Nathan began to understand why Dylan could be intimate with Melissa; the guy even decided not to report the incident to Maya."What actually happened between you two? Wasn't it enough to bring Robert down?" Nathan inquired.Dylan shook his head, not feeling obligated to tell Nathan about his past experiences.He thought it would be better for Nathan not to know. He'd play the role of a friend to Dylan and support him for business reasons, not out of pity or sympathy."Monarch alone isn't enough. I need to take down Happyway," Dylan stated firmly."But Happyway isn't like Monarch. They're a big company with solid administration. It'll be tough for you to snatch Happyway," Nathan explained.Dylan coughed, nodding slowly with his head still bowed. They were chatting near the toilet sink with no one else around
Dylan walked alone without anyone to the lower floor, the first floor of the building. As per his request, Dylan's bodyguard must have been downstairs waiting for him.Melissa herself was still in the CEO's office, taking care of some matters related to the business idea submitted by the shareholders.The main difficulty in maintaining a good reputation in the food business is to increase customer trust with new innovations. If Happyway can determine the new innovations they want to make, it is safe to say that they will be successful in the next few months.The more Happyway did well, the more investors would be willing to invest. If that was the case, Dylan was afraid that his second phase plan would be long and complicated.He needed to discuss it with Maya, especially about the plan where he would properly execute the second stage plan.His footsteps stopped at the first floor, the lobby of Happyway's office. He was quite excited to be meeting Diaz, his personal driver whom he had
***"So, Mr. Richard asked you to take Sully's CEO position immediately?" Maya asked.Dylan was sitting on the sofa in Monarch CEO Maya's office. He had come accompanied by Diaz, since Diaz's recovery, the man had not hesitated to take Dylan anywhere.Now, the reason Dylan wanted to go to Monarch was to discuss this with Maya. He thought she had good managerial and decision-making skills."The media outlets in the city began to question the continuation of CEO Sully's leadership, despite the fact that I was still recovering when the news broke," said Dylan."Any news related to Sully Corp always attracts a lot of readers. Even though they are not involved in the management of the company, those people want to know what Sully is up to," Maya explained.Dylan nodded. He took the glass of orange juice that was placed in front of him and sipped it with great pleasure."For him, news like this is bad news that must be resolved immediately. If not, Richard was worried that it would have a n
***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
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 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
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
