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
Soon, the dinner drew to a close, and as the guests began to file out, Sebastian and William took the opportunity to engage in a few last-minute conversations.They exchanged contact information with a couple of potential allies, their minds buzzing with the possibilities that tonight's connections could bring.As they stepped outside, the cool night air was a refreshing change from the warmth and tension inside the mayor's mansion. The valet brought their car around, and they made their way down the steps.Just as they were about to get into their car, they saw Michael Pedro's personal assistant, a young man named Paul Adams, hurrying towards them. Paul had been waiting in the car for Michael and, upon seeing Sebastian and William, left his post to approach them."Mr. Sebastian, Mr. William Prime," Paul said with a polite bow. "It's an honor to meet you both."Michael, who had been lingering near the entrance, noticed Paul's interaction with Sebastian and William. His face twisted in
The room was bathed in the soft glow of the desk lamp, the only source of light as Sebastian listened intently to Sarah's plan. He could see the determination in her eyes, a spark that matched his own. The idea of setting a trap was risky, but it had the potential to yield the breakthrough they desperately needed."Sarah, your idea has merit," Sebastian said thoughtfully. "But it's going to require meticulous planning. We need to ensure every detail is perfect so that when they take the bait, we catch them red-handed."Sarah nodded, relieved that he was taking her suggestion seriously. "I'll start drafting a plan tonight. We need to consider their weaknesses, their habits, and create a scenario that they can't resist. It has to be something that appears too good to pass up."Sebastian leaned forward, his fingers tapping lightly on the edge of his desk. "Let's focus on what they might bring up next. If we can create a situation where they think they can gain an advantage over us, then
Sebastian's expression hardened, a mix of shock and anger. "Are you certain of what you heard?"Juliana knew what she heard, and he knew she would not tell a lie about this. "Absolutely. She mentioned a trap and how you have no idea about it. I couldn't hear everything, but it was enough to raise serious suspicions."At this point, Sebastian was on his feet, his chair was suddenly feeling uncomfortable for him, his mind racing. If Sarah was indeed a traitor, it would explain the slow progress in their investigation and the lack of concrete leads. No wonder she was too engrossed in the case, always being the first to bring up an idea, and the first to give a report But he needed more information before making any moves."Thank you, Juliana," he said finally. "This is valuable information. But we need to be cautious. If Sarah is working against us, we can't let her know we're onto her just yet."Juliana agreed, that was the fact. "What should we do?"Sebastian's eyes narrowed in determ
