" Stella, you are saying all that because he is your husband! Don't mix emotions with this!" One of the shareholders heard what Stella said just now, and he snapped annoyingly. " Yes Stella, it not fair to defend him because he is your husband! The company is at risk here, you have to put your lovey dovey aside first," another shareholder intervened, replying to Stella's words, and he shook his head, refusing to agree with her. " What do you mean?" Stella was confounded, and she wondered what they were implying. She was displeased to hear that, and she furrowed her brows deeply. " No, that's not true! You are getting it all wrong. Yes, he is my husband, but I am only saying the truth. Aiden will surely take care of this, you all just have to trust him. Hasn't he prove himself?" " Prove himself my foot!" " Pftt! What a good wife you are, defending your husband publicly......oh, I really envy you guys!" The shareholders still refused to believe Stella's words, and they ev
The moment Cole and Andrew got outside of the conference room, Cole was dragged unexpectedly to a corner. " Hey! Who are you?!" Cole was astonished, and he widened his eyes, as he tried to struggle free. " Let me go!" Andrew looked back and noticed Cole was gone. " Hhm weird," he muttered and knitted his brows slightly, wondering when Cole left his side. But he didn't think much about and just shrugged his shoulders. Cole wanted to shout and say something, but his mouth was muffled by someone unknown. This made him unable to call for help, and he cleaned his fists desperately. Finally, the person stepped back slightly away from him and uncovered his mouth. " Stella?!" Cole blinked his eyes multiple times and looked around. He was really astonished to see Stella was the one who dragged him away. Stella stared Cole, as if she wanted to hit him till death, and she crossed her arms over her chest. " Don't think I don't know what you are doing?!" She said in a very low tone
Aiden's fingers finally stopped moving on the keyboard, and he slowly lifted up his gaze from the screen to Mav. " Boss....." Mav lowered his head and stepped back subtly in a nervous manner. He didn't know why, but Aiden's gaze just freaked the hell out of him! He really felt terrified! " Mav, is that your new duty now?" Aiden asked calmly, as his brows formed a straight line, shifting all his attention now to his assistant. " Boss... " Mav called Aiden again, his gaze still facing the ground, and he tried not to answer Aiden's question. Aiden was impatient, and he twisted his lips, " Answer me." His voice was soft, but deep, full of authority. " No sir!" Mav hurriedly denied, shaking his head in a negative manner. He didn't want to be on Aiden's bad list. Aiden just stared at him but said nothing. His silence was enough for Mav and those who really knew him already understand what his silence means. " I will leave now." Mav said with shaky voice, bowing at the same
Stella tilted her head slightly to one side and straightened her hair properly, with her long delicate looking fingers. She clicked her tongue with her teeth casually. " I think you are more aware of this better, so I won't say much. But I think it is time you let them see how competent you are."Aiden was amused slightly, but he still kept a calm refined expression. " Stella, why do you care so much about my reputation?" He asked in a very cool manner, wanting to see Stella's reaction. " Why do I care about your reputation?" Stella was stunned, but she quickly recomposed herself, as she doesn't want to lose herself anymore in front of Aiden. Immediately, her face turned icy and distant. " Who told you I care about your reputation?" She gave a throaty chuckled and curled her lips upward coldly. " Don't think too much. This is an office, and you are the head of this company, so it's only right for me to think about your reputation. I am only fighting for the reputation of thi
Sam said, with a dead serious face, the moment everyone was seated. They all nodded, and soon the private meeting started. ...At this time, it was already close to the evening, and this was when Stella decided to go back to the Lucius Villa. It didn't take long before Stella got home. On getting to the villa, Stella was startled to meet lady Irish outside the villa, and she raised her brows in surprise. " Is something wrong?" Stella asked worriedly, almost immediately she got down from the car and locked the car at the same time.Lady Irish quickly moved closer to Stella's side, with an ugly and anxious face. " Is everything alright?" She ignored Stella's question, not bothering to hide how worried she was. " What do you mean?" Stella frowned, wondering why lady Irish inquired such a thing. Again, Lady Irish ignored Stella's question, and she rubbed her palms together. " Is everything alright at the company?" She was getting impatient and couldn't wait to get an
" Nothing," he said with a cold shrug and continued his movements. This startled Sam and Mav, and they glanced at each other awkwardly. " Errh......Boss....what do you mean?" Sam rubbed his neck nervously as he asked Aiden, even though he knew Aiden might not tell him anything. This time, Aiden didn't stop walking, but he raised his right index finger up, till he got to the car and finally turned to face Mav and Sam. " Have you gotten the evidences?" He was referring to Sam, who felt really embrassed at this moment. " Yes boss, I already did, and it is ready now," Sam answered with a nod, as he tried to conceal his embarrassed face, but Aiden already noticed it. " Good!" Aiden turned away from them indifferently. Instantly, a bodyguard came to open the car door for him, and he stepped in gracefully. Mav and Sam followed suit, even though Sam was disappointed about Aiden not giving him any information. Though, he was already used to Aiden's indifferent character, but
Cole and Andrew suddenly felt something cold and piercing, like a new dagger on their chest. It was really uncomfortable, and they glanced at each other, wondering on what was going on. They both scrunched up their face but said nothing, as they didn't want anyone to suspect anything. It was better to hide it, than to arose suspicions.Finally, Aiden shifted his gaze away from the two dickheads and faced everyone present in the hall. Aiden clasped his hands together as usual, as he rested them on the big table in front of him. " Since everyone is present in this meeting, let's start now!" He said, his voice was audible enough and circulated the whole hall. This was when everyone immediately sat straight, adjusting themselves and planning to hear what Aiden has to say today. " Yesterday, an hidden record that could possibly bring down this company was discovered, and I called a meeting to announce it and promised to take care of it. So today, I want to tell you all that
" Silence!" A deep bossy voice thundered out, that instantly made everyone to halt in whatever they were doing, and they all turned their heads towards Mav." Is there no respect for the chairman anymore?! How audacious of you to act like he is not present!" Mav's voice was strong and scary, as it reached the ears of everyone present, and they subconsciously cowered slightly. " Audacious you say?" A shareholder stood up and cracked. " This person almost put the company into a bad state, and you are saying this! Can you blame us?! Can you?!" " Yes, and who are you to address us in this manner?! Do you even know your status in this company?!" Another shareholder joined the previous one, as they both attacked and savaged Mav with harsh words. " Mav, or whatever you are called, don't forget your position in this company, and don't think we can't do anything to you!"" You are clearly stepping on our faces by uttering that!"The shareholders stood up one by one, as they poi
