Clad in a sleek navy tuxedo suit, Leander strode into the Veritas Group headquarters straight from his car. The suit perfectly fit his body, reflecting the company’s innovative values. All of a sudden, a group of employees rushed over, warmly greeting him with smiles and open arms.Approaching Leander with a swift nod, the man who seemed to be the Chief Operation Officer, Edward Robinson, extended a handshake. “Master Leander, welcome to Veritas Conglomerate!” "Thank you, I’m delighted to be here," Leander smiled back, exuding confidence. He quickly moved on to exchange brisk handshakes with the rest of the company's key staff around himHe hurriedly followed Edward and top executives through the bustling corridors of the company's headquarters, led by Mr. Parker, until they reached the imposing glass skyscraper that housed the administration facility and its workers.As they burst onto the final floor, Leander, their fresh CEO and president, came into view.

With a warm and genuine demeanor, Leander made his way to other staff and directors from multinational countries. "I really appreciate all of your efforts in making this possible, despite not being fully prepared for it," he said gratefully. As he shook hands with the gathered individuals, one of them chimed in, "Master Leander, we are pleased to have you here as our new CEO and president of the Veritas Conglomerate. I guess you are now the youngest CEO in one of the largest companies in the world" Surprised by this information, Leander replied with a grateful nod, "Is that so? Thank you all. I assure you that everyone will benefit from my new position” “Best wishes, Master Leander,” a clear voice cut in. Without hesitation, Leander veered away from the group post-handshake. He however made a beeline for the Chief Operation Officer, Edward Robinson, who was engrossed in conversation with several directors nearby too. "Mr. Edwards, can we have a quick word?" Leander's soft
But then, he couldn't believe what he saw.Leander exhaled sharply, snatching a compact rectangular object and swiftly scrutinizing the body. Recognizing it as a hard drive, his eyes widened in astonishment at the label. He whispered the words on it, "Goldstein's Assets," his heart racing.Uncertainty ate at him as he traced his finger over the label. Was this truly the real hard drive? Could it have been switched out or tampered with?Glancing around, Leander's chest tightened with anxiety. His eyes locked onto a sleek monitor resting on the table. Without hesitation, he plugged in the hard drive, eager to verify its authenticity through a quick test.Plugging the USB cable into the hard drive and computer, the monitor instantly flashed with a notification, indicating an external device was recognized.

"Get the security guards over here," Leander ordered.He strode towards Mr. Parker, his eyes flashing with menace. "I knew you were working for them," he whispered darkly, instilling fear in Mr. Parker."That fake termination letter was a dead giveaway. Thanks for outing yourself," Leander's words dripped with satisfaction.In unison, unknown voices emphasized, "No, master. It's not a prank. You already stamped your name on it," “We don't want him anymore!”Leander sucked in a sharp breath. "If you weren't such a pain, why would everyone be telling me to boot you out? I'm on their side, so pack up and leave"Mr. Parker exclaimed, “They all conspired against me.” In a swift motion, the security guards burst into the office and swiftly escorted him out.Leander, radiating confidence, redirected his attention to the assembled directors in the office. With a quick nod, he launched into a succinct address, "Hello everyone. Apologies for the commotion earlier. I was just investigating some
The sun edged above the horizon as Leander swiftly disembarked an American airline flight that touched down smoothly at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Navigating the busy terminal, he tightly held onto his carry-on and headed straight for the information desk.Leander was met by a smiling attendant at the desk. His eyebrow shot up, eyes brimming with eager anticipation and nervous energy. Urgently, he asked, "Sorry please, where's the quickest taxi route to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital?"The attendant provided clear direction on the best route to the hospital via taxi as it would be quicker than public transport.Leander expressed his gratitude and swiftly headed outside the airport to hail a taxi. Stepping into the sultry summer air, his senses were overwhelmed by his first time stepping his foot on the American soil. His eyes darted from one marvel to another - the grand natural landscapes, striking architectural wonders, bustling crowds of pedestrians, and sleek road netw
Leander's first day as President at Veritas Conglomerate kicked off the workweek. Anticipation buzzed through the headquarters, signaling imminent management restructuring.Leander settled into his father's office, a temporary sanctuary. Sitting on the edge of an office chair, he faced a glowing laptop screen, his fingers poised above the keys.He swiftly unlocked his briefcase, retrieving the secure hard drive he safeguarded. With careful precision, he linked it to his laptop, diving into the encrypted documents and files that kept his father’s assets.The first secret company he established was FusionTech Dynamics, TerraQuest Mining Co. He quickly uncovered that these companies boasted a combined market capitalization of $650 billion. The staggering wealth rendered Leander speechless and on edge. Curiously, he wondered why his father hadn't included these entities under Veritas since they are supposed to be subsidiaries of the conglomerate.Spending nearly two hours meticulously dis

"Leander, where have you been? I couldn't reach your contact"Leander's eyebrow shot up in a silent apology as Brianna clasped his hand. He exhaled softly, "I'm sorry for that. I was away; traveling to the States”Brianna's breath hitched, her eyes narrowing in confusion. "Okay, and where did you travel, Leander?"Leander's heart raced as he blurted out, "I went to visit my father in the United States""Really?" Brianna's surprised tone crackled with energy. She continued, a genuine smile lighting up her face. "How has the journey been? But Leander, you are meant to inform me that you won't be around. I was just worried all day and night”Leander mumbled an apology, then swiftly added, "Honestly, the sudden news about traveling to the United States caught me off guard.

"Let's return back to our seats," he said, and Brianna followed him as they made their way back.As Rex approached Camila, he noticed the displeased and frustrated stare in her eyes. With curiosity etched into his forehead, he taunted, "Babe, are you okay?" "I had an accident with the wait staff," Camila lamented, her voice demanding and glum.
