The atmosphere in the ballroom remained charged as the event progressed. The undercurrent of tension was palpable, with conversations hushed and eyes darting towards Sebastian and his group every now and then. Pedro, ever the skilled manipulator, continued to play his part, charming the guests and downplaying the accusations.Sebastian, Abigail, and William Prime stationed themselves strategically, observing Pedro and his assistant, noting who seemed swayed by their narrative and who appeared doubtful. The trio knew that their mission was not only to expose Pedro but to reclaim the reputation of Prime Enterprises. Especially Sebastian, who really wants to save his reputation.As the night wore on, guests continued to express their disbelief at the allegations against Pedro.“Sebastian, this is quite a bold move,” an influential businesswoman, Clara Langston, said, cornering him near the bar. “I hope you know what you’re doing.”Sebastian gave her a measured smile. “We wouldn’t make
The news of Benjamin Pedro’s dramatic arrest spread like wildfire. Headlines blazed with the scandal, and media outlets scrambled to cover every detail. The business community, which had once looked upon Prime Enterprises with skepticism and suspicion, now buzzed with a mix of shock, admiration, and introspection.The morning after, Sebastian woke up to a barrage of messages and calls. “Who is calling me this early?”His phone buzzed incessantly with notifications from colleagues, friends, and even some former critics who now wanted to express their support and apologies. He could feel the tide turning in his favor.In a few minutes, he hurried away from bed, so as to prepare for the day's activities.***At the Prime Enterprises, the atmosphere was charged with a renewed sense of purpose and unity. Employees who had been uncertain now walked with a spring in their step, their faith in the company restored. The senior management board, who had once plotted against Sebastian, were now
The lights of Prime Enterprises glowed brightly, a symbol of his unwavering resolve and recent victory. Yet, the ominous news Abigail had whispered in his ear cast a shadow over the moment.Determined to uncover the truth behind the mass resignations at Prime Enterprise 2, he turned back inside, his mind racing with possibilities. Then..“My President, it is true, the news I just received is true. I called a few trusted workers, and they all confirmed the news.” Abigail ran into the conference room where Sebastian was to confirm the news to him.This would be another torn in the flesh for Sebastian to deal with. It was not long they had just resolved an issue, now this?He needed answers, and he needed them fast. He immediately left the conference room, and went straight to his office, Abigail was behind him too.In his office, Sebastian sat at his desk, the city skyline providing a stunning backdrop. He picked up the phone and dialed the number of the coordinator at Prime Enterprise
The boardroom remained tense as Sebastian continue to outlined his immediate steps. “We need a comprehensive approach,” he said, his eyes sweeping the room. “Abigail, continue your conversations with the employees. Try to identify any patterns or specific grievances. William, we need to solidify our partnerships with key stakeholders to show our stability. Sarah, I want you to discreetly monitor any unusual activities at Prime Enterprise 2.”Everyone nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. The meeting concluded with a renewed sense of urgency. Sebastian returned to his office, his mind churning with the possibilities of who could be orchestrating this coup against him.He couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than just employee dissatisfaction. Someone with intimate knowledge of the company was pulling the strings, creating an atmosphere of distrust and chaos.***For the next few days, the investigation proceeded quietly but intensely. “So tell me, you have any i
Sebastian's heart pounded as he ended the call with his father. He sank back into his chair, his mind reeling from the shock. His father, Mr. Prime, had always been a pillar of support, guiding him through the intricacies of running Prime Enterprises. Now, his father’s sudden change of heart left him feeling betrayed and cornered. The ultimatum was clear, Sebastian had seven days to resolve the turmoil within Prime Enterprises or step down as President. His father’s voice had been firm, devoid of the usual warmth, making it evident that someone had been feeding him distorted information. Even though Sebatian had signed an agreement to be the President of Prime Enterprise, the agreement only would still stand if the Enterprise could not afford to pay him back the funds he lent it. *** The next morning, the boardroom was filled with a tense silence. Abigail, Sarah, and William Prime were already seated, waiting for Sebastian to address them. He entered the room, his face set wi
Sebastian strode into the boardroom of Prime Enterprises 2, his expression a blend of determination and controlled fury. The recent discoveries had lit a fire within him, and he was ready to confront the Nike family head-on. His father’s ultimatum still echoed in his mind, but now, with evidence in hand, he felt more prepared than ever.Seated at the large mahogany table were Grandpa Nike and Luis. Grandpa Nike’s face was a mask of calm, though his eyes betrayed a flicker of curiosity. Luis, on the other hand, appeared visibly nervous, her eyes darting around the room.“Sebastian, to what do we owe the pleasure?” Grandpa Nike’s voice was smooth, almost mocking.Sebastian didn’t bother with pleasantries. He placed a stack of documents on the table, his gaze locked onto Grandpa Nike. “I have evidence that someone within the Nike family has been manipulating key employees of Prime Enterprises! Feeding them misinformation and attempting to destabilize the company!”A silence fell over th
Sebastian abruptly hung up the call, his eyes flashing with irritation. "Sarah, you need to knock before entering my office."Sarah, taken aback for a moment, quickly gathered herself. "I am sorry boss, but the door was open, and I thought it was urgent enough to bypass formalities."Sebastian's jaw clenched, but he forced himself to remain calm. "What did you find?"Sarah stepped forward, placing the stack of papers on his desk. "The traces in the message suggest multiple layers of encryption and routing through various international servers. It's designed to be a dead end, but it does hint at someone highly skilled in cyber operations."Sebastian leaned back in his chair, frustration evident in his posture. "So, we still don't have a definitive lead?""No, but it does suggest we're dealing with someone who has both the resources and the technical know-how to orchestrate this," Sarah replied. "Whoever it is, they're covering their tracks exceptionally well, the employees are not able
Sebastian had barely returned to his office when his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number. With a sigh, he answered, "Sebastian here.""Mr. Sebastian, this is Emma Blake, the mayor's assistant. The mayor would like to invite you and Mr. William Prime to dinner at his residence tonight. He believes it would be a good opportunity to discuss recent developments and gather support from some key figures in the business community."A dinner at the mayor's place tonight was obviously not what Sebatian had in mind in these trying times of his life.Sebastian hesitated for a moment. His schedule was already packed, and the investigation was consuming most of his energy. But the invitation from the mayor was not something he could easily decline. "Thank you, Ms. Blake. We'll be there."As he ended the call, he saw William approaching. "What's up?" William asked."We've been invited to dinner at the mayor's house tonight. He wants to discuss the current situation
