Chapter 12

It's April in the morning, and spring is in the air. Beautiful sunshine, and the lively energy of this city was high enough, as companies got their representatives set for the investor meeting at Prime Enterprise.

William Prime called Sebastian last night to remind him about the meeting today, emphasizing more on his presence in the meeting.

William Prime didn't know that Sebastian was quite concerned about the meeting. After all, he was the one who invested six billion naira in the Company, and he bought a suit worth eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the meeting.

Nike company, Gush company, phosphorus company, and every other company's representative including the President's subordinates, Brian and Vivian, were all present in Prime Enterprise, seated inside the hall for the meeting as they waited for the President of Prime company to arrive for the meeting to kick off.

After some while of waiting, William Prime, who drove a Ferrari LaFerrari arrived at the Company. There were luxury cars parked everywhere, except for the parking space meant for the President and the vice-President.

After he had parked at the vice-president space, just long enough, a Bentley Mulsanne drove in too. It was Abigail, and Sebastian was in the car too.

Abigail went to pick Sebastian at a spot he chose, and brought him with her car. She parked at the President's space.

“Goodday Uncle.”

Sebastian greeted his Uncle, as they both shared a hug together. Abigail was trying to get the files for the meeting in the car.

“I see you're fully prepared for the investors meeting today nephew?” William Prime smiled while looking at the beautiful suit his nephew wore.

“Of course I am Uncle.”

“Goodday Sir.” There was not much time left, as Abigail was already signifying that with the files for the meeting in her hands.

They all left for the hall so as to commence the meeting immediately. Sebastian was a bit nervous. Even when he was the President of Prime Enterprise, he didn't know the representatives seated and waiting for him in the hall.

“Goodday Sir, I'm pleased to welcome you.”

“You're highly welcomed Mr William.”

“There you go sir.”

On getting to the entrance of the hall, the guards there greeted and welcomed William Prime, Sebastian, and Abigail. They did as they opened the door for them to go in.

On their arrival at the hall, the representatives stood up as William Prime was headed for his seat, Abigail was in front of Sebastian. Immediately Abigail stepped aside to offer Sebastian a seat, Brian and Charles were amazed at who they were seeing.

“Sebastian! Who allowed him in here?!” Brian couldn't control himself at the moment. “Security! Come take this loser out of here at this moment!.”

“What happened?” At this moment, a middle-aged strong man walked over quickly. He was the company's security chief. He brought two gruesome guards along.

“Can't you hear me, I said take this man out of here!” Brian said coldly as he pointed at Sebastian.

Just as the chief Security, and the guards were confused, Abigail and other representatives were also confused too.

This was the President of Prime Enterprise, and you dare call security on him? Brian didn't understand what he had just gotten into.

William Prime, who was already seated, stood up from his seat, and said, “How dare you Brian? What power do you possess to call Security on the…”

William Prime was about referring to Sebastian as the President, then he remembered that Sebastian wanted his identity hidden.

“Take him out instead, take him out of this meeting at this moment.”

The order from William Prime to take Brian out of the hall wasn't as hard to obey as the order to take out Sebastian.

Within seconds, the guards were dragging Brian out of the hall.

“You're going to pay for this Sebatian. Believe me, you are going to pay!” Brian screamed in Humiliation, as he was dragged out of the hall like a criminal.

The whole happenings was like a movie to Charles, his mouth was left open as he stared steadily at Sebatian. He felt paled, 'No wonder he had a black card, and was able to afford that expensive suit at the store'.

In no time, the commencement of the meeting that was placed on hold, resumed. Everyone who was present and saw was had just transpired, had their seat so as to carry on with the meeting.

***

After a long time in the hall, the investors meeting was finally over, percentages were shared among companies, and every participant was making their way to their car.

“I really admire the President's generosity to other companies.”

“Yes I must confess, Prime Enterprise has really done well to the growing companies.”

“The investment plans were canceled, but now we are smiling.”

And as they make their way to their various vehicles, each representative had their say about the result from the just concluded meeting.

Charles wasn't sharing the same thought, he was still shocked at who he saw in the meeting, seated on the President's seat. He couldn't wait to get back to the Nike company to give a report.

He drove his BMW as fast as he could, and got to Nike. He went straight to Grandpa Nike's office to give a report from the meeting. He couldn't knock on the door of the office, as he barged in.

“Oh, I'm so sorry. I think I'll wait outside.” Charles met Grandpa Nike in a meeting with Juliana, Jade, Cindy, and some other members of the staff.

“No come on in Charles, we were even waiting for your arrival.”

Charles then went into the office, and got himself a seat as he sat down, ready to give a report from the meeting.

“So tell us Charles, what goodnews do you bring from the Prime Enterprise.

“The meeting had a good ending actually, and Nike company's share to the investment was just five percent.” Charles said pathetically.

Grandpa Nike's facial expression showed confusion. “How do you mean by five percent? I thought Brian would speak on our behalf for an increase?”

“That's the issue sir, Brian was sent out of the meeting.”

Hearing this, every member of the Nike family present in the office were more confused.

“What are you saying? The manager of Prime Enterprise, out of a crucial investor meeting?”

“Are you sure of what you're saying Charles?”

“Who would send Brian out of the meeting?”

Questions were thrown to Charles, but he decided to respond to just one of the questions.

“Chief Prime did, Chief Prime was obviously not pleased with an act Brian exhibited.” Charles said frustratedly.

“William Prime? Why, what happened?” At this moment, all eyes were on Charles. Even when he's the assistant general manager of the company, he hasn't gotten a deep attention like this before.

Seeing the much attention given to him, he said, “He called the security guards on the President, and because of this, he was sent away.”

Immediately, the sound of the chair forcefully pushed backward, erupts the discussion. Cindy stood up in total dismay.

“Can you hear yourself Charles?! Are you trying to say Brian has gone insane, why would Brian ever call security on his President?”

“Charles, I hope this is not a joke?*

“Who would dare call security on a President?”

“Tell us Charles, why would Brian call security on his President?”

The eagerness to know rose, Charles wished he could skip this part of the report, the tension was rising at the moment.

He wondered how they would all feel when they are told who was seated on the seat of the President of Prime Enterprise. He really did wonder.

After adjusting his seat forward a bit, he summoned enough courage, and said, “It was because, the one that sat on the President's seat today during the meeting, was Sebastian. Your son-in-law.”
