Due to the resignation of the general manager for the Marketing Department yesterday, Mrs. Emilia has to take care of this department since she is The Vice President for Marketing. At least, until Viona finds the next general manager to fill that position. Despite the fact Mrs. Emilia has the same level with Viona as The Vice President, she knows that Viona has stronger influence in the company. Not to mention that Viona is the one that Charles William trusts the most. And so, Mrs. Emilia starts the introduction of the new President of Counterbrand. She deliberately makes it short, since she doesn’t like to repeat what Viona had delivered before in introducing Victor to the other executives yesterday. In the end, she only tells everyone about the name, and about Victor’s vision for Counterbrand in general. But then, Victor halts her by offering a seat and whispers to her. “Can I have the chance for a moment to say something before we start the meeting?” “Oh? Sure! The meeting is a
However, Mrs. Emilia doesn’t do anything, not saying any single word either, since Victor is looking like he hasn’t finished his speech. After all, Victor is the boss now and the meeting is still at his hand. Mrs. Emilia tries her best to restrain her anger, letting Victor make his decision regarding that issue. Meanwhile, Victor hasn’t changed his facial expression. He is still looking so carefree with his light smile which has adorned his face for a while. “I’m not looking for an apology here. I’m looking for an answer. Sarah Campbell, what would you do in that position?” Victor asks. Sarah is startled to find the new boss already knows her full name. She averts her attention to Nancy with an irritated stare, suspecting that Nancy has told everything about her to this new president. “Sarah Campbell?” Victor calls again to avert her attention to him. “Ah? I’m so sorry, Mr. President. I shouldn’t push you out. I should have volunteered myself to get out of the elevator before,” sh
Nancy didn’t imagine being invited to the meeting. Let alone to be appointed as the official manager to replace Abigail. She starts doubting herself, whether she can answer the trust that Victor has put on her. And somehow, Victor already understands a bit of Nancy’s inferiority complex. But he believes that her inferiority complex comes from her desperation after doing her best, which has been fruitless so far. “Rest assured! If talking about working hard, I believe you’ve been working hard for this company more than anyone else,” Victor pats her shoulder before leaving her there. Some other employees express their congratulations to Nancy, despite only showing happy looks on their face. They are the people who really recognize Nancy’s effort. Especially Gianna, who has been with her for five years. Abigail enters the room again, and there she is startled to find Nancy is already sitting on her chair. She begins to realize that her position as an official manager is really taken o
He may look cheerful at the moment. However, Victor is actually so tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. He just puts on that cheerful face only to hide his sleepiness. Now he is like a thief, moving so swiftly trying his best to not attract anyone’s attention. Especially from those who already know who he is. But then… “Good day, Sir! Ah, I mean. Good day, Victor!” someone greets him from behind. It startles Victor. He is not even able to hide his shock expression. Apparently, that man knows who Victor is. But still, he looks a bit confuse, seeming so curious with Victor’s startled reaction. He knows that Victor is his boss. But somehow, he finds Victor acting like a thief who just gets caught. Victor remembers the man’s face, who is one of the supervisors who attended the meeting before. And so, Victor takes a quick pick on his ID card, to find out his name. “Oh? Hi, Kareem!” Victor replies with a greeting. “Is there something I can do for you?” that man named
Now, Viona has to find an excuse for Victor, so that he is not going to disappoint his dad again like before. The truth is, she had done it before when Victor spent his money to buy that 1 Million dollars ring. Thanks to her, Charles William didn’t cancel his intention to appoint Victor as President of Counterbrand. And now, she needs to come up with a new way to help Victor. “Oh, that’s right. We just had a meeting this morning. Maybe he turned his phone silent and then forgot to turn it back to normal,” she says. [Is that how it is?] “It’s highly possible that his phone is still in silent mode currently. But I believe he is still in the office building somewhere. This is his second day working here, and I think he went somewhere to learn more about the company. Anyway, is there something important that you want to tell him?” [It’s not that important. I just want to talk with him so bad, since I canceled my intention to meet him previously. As a father, I can’t deny that I really
When Victor has just entered his office, Viona is already waiting for him there. Victor only sees her back, with Viona standing with her arms crossed over her chest while facing toward the glass facade of the office. She is aware of someone coming into the office. But Viona keeps silent there, watching the outside view from that 23rd floor. “Viona? Are you waiting for me?” asks Victor. “Nope! I just like the view here,” Viona replies curtly. “Oh? Is that so?” Victor lets her be, and has a seat in front of his desk. He begins to busy himself studying all the documents that had been prepared by Nancy before. Until Viona steals his attention by bringing up his dispute with Emma. “When are you going to clear your issue with your ex-wife?” she asks. “What issue?” Victor replies nonchalantly. Viona’s brows are twitched slightly. But she keeps her composure and tries to treat him as cold as possible. “Isn’t she arguing about the marital settlement?” Viona replies. “Yeah, that’s wha
He rushly opens the door, thinking that the house is entered by other thieves. But no. He only finds Mrs. Greta in the living room, having tea with Emma. The eyes of those two ladies are now on him, while he is looking so out of place with an awry face. “Hi, Victor. Getting back from work?” Mrs. Greta greets him. “Oh? Hi, Mrs. Greta!” he greets back by trying to hide his confusion. He is so curious what Emma’s doing in the house. But Emma just plays ignorant and takes a sip of the tea, not even showing her face toward Victor. And then, Mrs. Greta says her goodbye to Emma to return to her house. “Thank you for the tea, Emma,” she says. Emma only replies with a nod and a light smile. She keeps forcing the tip of her lip to touch the surface of the tea, even though she doesn’t take any sip right now. Seeing Mrs. Greta is taking her leave right after his coming, makes Victor a bit awry whether his coming has disturbed her. “Um, Mrs. Greta! Why are you leaving? Please, don’t let me
At the moment, that lawyer named Elijah Miller has just finished his talk with Lucas through the phone, regarding him to defend Emma for her legal dispute with Victor. Lucas isn’t reluctant to accept the high price demanded by Miller, knowing that he is going to get millions of dollars from Victor. He just accepts the demand through the phone, while he is busy with his ex-girl friend. [Let's have a meeting later. Don’t forget, you need to bring that girl named Emma with you too] “Sure!” [How about this Saturday?] “Saturday? I think I can spare my time for the meeting. I’ll tell her about this.” As he finishes that conversation, Lucas sends a message to Emma. Just a short message without having any interest to call her. Because he is too occupied with his date with that new famous star, Lucida Cameron a.k.a. Lucy. You see, they both have some kind of similar name. In the past, Lucy often brought up this topic every time she wanted to talk about her relationship with Lucas. At lea
