"You want to sell the shares you have now?" asked Dylan.Nathan, with a smile on his face, nodded in agreement to Dylan's question. He could already see and predict what would happen to the Monarch in the near future, so it was no wonder he had the courage to propose to sell the shares he had in the Monarch to Dylan."I don't want to continue dwelling on Monarch, especially after I realized that Monarch is on the verge of collapse," Nathan replied."I'll get the paperwork ready if you want. I'll probably sell it next month," Nathan said.Of course, Dylan would never turn down such a proposal, as he was looking for shares from the shareholders. If Dylan could get two large shares from Lawrence and Rockefeller, then the number of shares owned by Sullivan would equal the number of shares owned by Watson.Nathan picked up his wine glass again and began to sip the drink just as before. He occasionally glanced forward, noticing Dylan who was currently sitting in front of him, next to Maya.
Dylan seemed to be tidying up his files that had been piled irregularly on his desk. He arranged them according to the priority category of the plan, there were several arranged according to the plan he would be working on regarding the revenge against the Watson family.It wasn't difficult for the man to organize it properly, considering Dylan had already memorized exactly how the plan went and what he needed. Dylan turned his head to the side, looking at the glass table in front of the long sofa.There were a few small books and glasses that were no longer in use, the bottle of wine that they had originally enjoyed was also gone.The man would only take care of the books, as for the glasses and wine bottles, Dylan would have the servants in the house take care of them.There was a knock coming from the direction of the study door, a quiet but intense knock. Dylan told the person on the other side of the door to come in until Maya arrived to tell Dylan something."Your car is ready,
Getting into the black sedan, Diaz continued to drive away from the place. Dylan and Maya continued to wait in the car in the back seat as they talked to each other about the empty house."We'll need to do some demolition if we decide to choose that place," Maya said."Don't worry. Demolition will be easy if we reach an agreement with the house owner," said Dylan."Or do we not need to dismantle it?" Maya asked.Dylan squinted, turning his head to the side with both eyes continuing to stare at Maya who was currently sitting beside him, "That's impossible. The house has probably been abandoned by the owner for quite some time. The walls and roof are prone to collapse and potentially dangerous.""But we can renovate it, it's much more cost-effective than building from scratch," Maya said.Diaz, who had been behind the wheel of the car, listened to what Maya had to say. He did not know what kind of empty house the two of them were referring to, but Diaz fully agreed that renovation would
***The next day.Today was an important day for Dylan. He has made an appointment with the owner of the empty house, the demolition plan will not happen and will change to renovation.Gundo prefers the renovation option over demolition, not only because demolition would be costly, but also because the house still looks solid and usable.Only some parts need to be renovated. Yesterday, the trio had not had a chance to see the condition inside the house, so the final decision on whether to demolish or renovate will be decided now.Since the meeting was not so official, Dylan decided to wear a casual outfit, but still looked presentable to those who saw him.He was still in the room, looking prepared with his eyes focused unwaveringly ahead, watching himself through the reflection in the mirror. He was completely ready, just waiting for Maya to arrive.Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door to Dylan's room. The man immediately turned around, stepped closer to the door and op
Together with Gundo and the owner of the empty house, Dylan and Maya stepped through the front yard until they reached the front of the house.The two people saw clearly what the condition of the house was like, there were indeed some damaged parts, but according to Maya, the damage was not fatal.The damage in question included peeling paint, wood that was porous due to termites, and broken tiles on the roof. Such things can be resolved by renovating."Come, see the inside," said the homeowner.The middle-aged man slowly opened the door, revealing the inside of the empty house, which was covered in dust and cobwebs. Some furniture was still in place, such as sofas, chairs, cabinets, and some kitchen utensils."Didn't you take all this stuff?" asked Dylan."I bought a fully furnished house elsewhere, so I no longer need the old furniture," said the man who owned the house.The living room looked spacious, with some changes that could be made to make it a restaurant. Gundo was the busi
***The next day.Maya had gotten information about the landlord's phone number, and his name was Jacob. Dylan did not plan to return to the empty house again and sign the agreement.He thought of signing the agreement here, at the Sullivan residence. Maya had already notified Jacob to come to this place, especially since he had no objection to doing it at the Sullivan residence."When will he come to this place?" asked Dylan, still standing focused on the study window connected to the outside of the Sullivan residence in the house's backyard."From Jacob's text, he'll probably arrive around ten in the morning," Maya replied.The woman was still standing firmly before Dylan's desk with her eyes focused on Dylan, specifically Dylan's back, which felt large and authoritative.Dylan nodded, looking back with both eyes fixed attentively on Maya. Dylan turned around, stepped closer to the desk, and sat on it."When will the contractor start renovating the house?" asked Dylan, curious."Fro
Maya escorted Jacob's departure to the front yard of the Sullivan residence, Dylan following behind Maya.Jacob didn't come to this place by driving a personal vehicle. He didn't have a single car, not even an old car. That was the reason why Jacob chose to travel wherever he was going by taking the city bus.The middle-aged man continued to take steps at a steady pace, leaving the place and heading to the front gate of the Sullivan residence.When the man arrived, Jacob was seen leaving through the small door provided at the front gate of the Sullivan residence. However, the two post guards at the gate were seen opening the three-meter-high iron gate.Dylan squinted, seeing who the gate was opened for, even though Jacob had already walked through the small door. A white
"I have a lot of things to say, actually," Dylan replied."Go ahead, just say what you want to say. I'll answer as I can," Nathan replied.The man poured more wine from the bottle into the glass he was using. One glass wasn't enough for Nathan when he tasted the best-tasting wine that Dylan had.Nathan quite liked the taste of the wine, especially since the wine Dylan was currently serving was an expensive quality wine; price doesn't hide quality, and that's what Nathan knew about it.Dylan did not deny that he did have a sizable supply of wine of the highest quality. It was only natural for Dylan to think that Nathan would like the wine he served."These shares, are you really going to sell them and no longer participate in Monarch, or do you have other plans after selling these shares?" asked Dylan, both eyes turning to Nathan."I can say for now, the best I can do is to sell my shares in Monarch. In the future, if there are any significant changes happening at Monarch, I won't hold
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
