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
Seeing this, Andrew smirked inwardly and thought there was definitely hope for him. " Everyone, let me tell you a secret now! This......." He pointed to Aiden, as he snorted with irritation. " Aiden is not a good boss and a good person! I know the reason why he is doing this and it is because I failed to do what he asked me to do! "" And what did he asked you to do?!" Stella crossed her arms on her chest as she now focused on Andrew, who wore a fake facade, acting like he was innocent. Andrew looked at everyone and sniffed, not too loud. He liked the attention that he was getting and the curious faces he was seeing. Taking a deep breath, he decided to spit it out once and for all. " Some days ago, Aiden called me to his office and told me to do something for him. He asked me about the company's financial record but I told him the record is not with me but with the head of financial department. Then, he instructed me to get it which I eventually did but I didn't expect what
Mav cursed under his breath and too a step forward, wanting to teach Andrew a lesson but Aiden gave him a stop signal. With gritted teeth, he went back to his former position, feeling so disappointed!How could a mere brainless person like Andrew have the cheek or gut to exchange words with Aiden! Does he want to smell his ass?! Aiden weirdly smiled in a slow manner but it was a smile that was full of chill. " It seems you are more stupid than I thought but don't worry. You are a living proof, it is possible to live without a brain, since in your case they are actually nothing!" Maybe this was really time to show them what he is capable of doing! At this moment, no one said anything and they just silently pay attention to the battle of words that was happening between Aiden and Andrew. If Andrew was an animation, one could really see how was boiling with rage at this moment cause possibly smoke might be emitting from his ears and nose! Even his so called useless brain jumped
At the reception office, someone instantly rushed in like the person was been chased by something unknown. This startled everyone as they were pretty immense with their work, and a ruckus came up. " Heyy! What's the rush?!" One of the male workers looked up from his office desk, frowning at the same time and turned to the person, who just rushed in. " Gosh! You almost freak me out!" " What the heck?!" " What's going on?!"" Is there any problem?!" " Why did you rush in like that?! You gave us too much shock!" Almost all the workers complained with an annoyed face, wondering why the person rushed in like that. It was too sudden to the extent, some of them had to place their hand on their chest to calm themselves down! " I...am......so.....rry!" The person, who rushed in, was actually a female, and the moment, she arrived at the reception hall, she halted and stood akimbo. Panting heavily like she just did a marathon race, she stuttered as she tried to apologize for star
