Three days later.
Maya arrived at Dylan's room after she heard Dylan was going out today. Maya had no idea where Dylan was going, but after guessing his activities over the past few days, Maya guessed Dylan was going to Monarch.
As she knocked gracefully on the bedroom door, a voice came from behind the door, inviting Maya to come in. Maya turned the door handle and saw Dylan sitting on the edge of the bed.
The man looked like he was wearing a watch in his hand; finding Maya's arrival made Dylan's attention immediately diverted to stare at the woman.
"I have prepared the car as you requested, Dylan," Maya replied.
Dylan smiled, thanking her as he nodded his head. Glad that May
Dylan and Maya began to walk into the elevator, heading to the fifth floor to reach the meeting room. The room was on that floor, one floor below the sixth floor.The elevator stopped several times to let other employees in, mostly people who worked in marketing and advertising.These people entered the elevator to get to the top floor, of course, to meet with the high-ranking officials there. The elevator doors opened when the monitor inside the elevator showed the number five; Maya walked first, with Dylan following.Both Dylan's and Maya's eyes witnessed Robert's personal assistant waiting outside, along with Melissa's personal assistant. The two women talked to each other as they waited for their bosses to return from the meeting room."Mr. Sullivan," greeted Robert's assistant Silva.The woman smiled broadly as Silva greeted her, as did Melissa's personal assistant. They seemed to greet Dylan and Maya kindly, as neither of them had any kind of
Seeing the expression on Dylan's face made Maya squint in confusion. She wanted to know what had caused Dylan to make that expression.Dylan put the small note the mentor gave into his pants pocket while both eyes continued to look forward, precisely towards the middle-aged Monarch employees who were being mentored by Sully Corp's mentor.The man began to step into the area where the employees used to scorn Dylan because of Dylan's position as a lowly OB. Now, they were the opposite, giving respectful greetings to Dylan because of Dylan's position as a shareholder.Their faces, which looked sluggish and tired, instantly became excited and enthusiastic when Dylan came over. Not just one, but many employees immediately had similar expressions, Thiago being one of them.He
Dylan quickly said goodbye after talking with Wilson. He continued to walk side by side with Maya, leaving the place to the parking lot in the basement of Monarch.Since Dylan had brought the car to this place, he also had to take the car to leave. Dylan did not regret sending Diaz on leave because Diaz deserved it.There were still a few hours left until Thiago returned from work. Dylan decided to pass the time by going to the mall, not to shop for something, but rather to relax his mind with the movies there."Put an SUV here. They'll let me know when the employees at Monarch have left," Dylan emphasized.Maya nodded. Before getting into the black sedan, she opened the SUV's door and said something to them, of course, telling them not to leave and stay there.
After being in the mall for a while, Dylan and Maya decided to leave. Maya got a phone call from someone. It was her bodyguard at the Monarch company.Maya reached into her pants pocket and took out the phone in her pants pocket, picking up the phone call after she was outside the mall. Walking side by side with Maya, Dylan could hear her conversation with the bodyguard."Have they gone home?" Maya asked.Dylan occasionally turned his head to the side, looking at Maya, still walking while picking up the phone call. Maya ended the call by ordering her bodyguard to follow where Thiago was going, even though she knew he was headed to her residence."The bodyguards said they saw Monarch employees starting to leave the place. We should hurry to Thiago's residence," Maya stated, nodding several times with both eyes fixed on Dylan.Dylan responded by clearing his throat softly, "Alright. We will go to that place now."He, along with Maya, began to get into the car, driving away from the larg
Thiago nodded in readiness, knowing the new mission given to him would be accompanied by money earned at the equivalent of a salary. Dylan was so pleased with Thiago's agreement that it would give Dylan peace of mind about the outcome of the training.Dylan carefully told Thiago the money would be transferred at the beginning of each month. Dylan would send it for the current month after the meeting with Thiago."Then what do I have to do to make the sale drop?" asked Thiago, confused."Sabotage other people's work, bring down other people's mentality, and create bad news among other employees," Dylan replied."There are many things that could destroy Monarch's sales. You can think of other ways you might be better off," Dylan replied, trying to convince Thiago that what
Maya immediately stepped out of the place, aiming for the garage and the bodyguards' quarters. Maya needed to go there to carry out Dylan's orders.Dylan was still in the study, trying to contact Wilson using his cell phone. However, there was no sign that Wilson would pick up the call."What the hell is going on in there?" asked Dylan.He placed the phone on the desk with his eyes on the surroundings. Dylan's attention returned to a whiteboard with targets and plans for revenge."There's no way Monarch will fire all of them. It'll just make them go back to protesting," Dylan muttered.Dylan's eyes kept squinting at the names on the whiteboard. He had to find out what was going on by asking Thiago, considering he probably kne
"Using Sully Corp?" asked Maya, curious about what Dylan had said.Dylan immediately stepped outside the house that was no longer inhabited, Maya, following behind. The two arrived outdoors with Dylan's gaze directed upwards, looking at the beautiful blue sky adorned by mesmerizing white clouds."Sully Corp has many customers scattered in various places. By using those connections, we will persuade them to use Sully's services rather than Monarch," explained Dylan."Oh, we will use our relationships to reach people difficult for us to reach, is that right?" asked Maya. Dylan smiled with both eyes directed to the side, looking at Maya, full of admiration for the intelligence shown by Maya.Maya began to understand what Dylan wanted to do. It wasn't a bad plan, but accordi
After waiting for about ten minutes, the CEO Richard Sullivan's office door opened. Sitting near Maya, Dylan immediately stood up to greet CEO Sully, Dylan's father."Alice already told me about your arrival. Do you need anything, Dylan?" asked Richard, walking up to Dylan with his hand stretched forward, greeting his son."There's a problem at Monarch," explained Dylan."What is it? Isn't the training from Sully done?" asked Richard.Dylan nodded, and the two men sat on the couch in CEO Richard's office to discuss the issue at Monarch. Dylan began to explain everything to Richard without hiding anything.Richard listened carefully, then showed a shocked facial expression, never expecting Monarch to do such a thing, "Did they
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
