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
It already night time at the Lucius Villa, and everyone was occupied with one thing or the other. But only one person stood alone, brooding and refused to associate with any other person. Unexpectedly, someone came to meet the brooding person. " Are you thinking?" Cole asked with a curious look, the moment he got to Stella's side and took a seat beside her. Stella rolled her eyes, ignoring Cole's question, and she crossed her arms over her chest, facing the other side. " You don't want to talk?" Cole clearly knew why Stella was acting like that, but he wasn't also ready to back down. So, he decided to irk Stella in anyway he could. " Can you just let me be?" Stella wasn't in the mood for this and just wanted to be alone. It was best to be on her own, as she had been embrassed too much. " What if I don't?" Cole stared at his sister, observing every of her reaction, and now he was certain Stella had really changed. Has she actually fallen for Aiden?! But that's imposs
But unknown to Stella and Cole, someone was actually watching them from an unnoticeable place and even heard all their conversation. .........The next day spread out like a blanket, welcoming a whole new hope, and more things to focus on. In a particular familiar room, one could see a familiar lady sitting on her fancy huge bed, as she crossed her legs together, staring as if her mind was somewhere else. Stella sighed, absentmindedly rubbing the tip of her fingers. Many thoughts about Aiden were disturbing her to the extent she couldn't even focus on herself. Well, turns out to be true that she already gave in to Aiden, but how is that possible? Just within when?" I need to stop thinking about this," she told herself, shaking her head at the same time, and she took a deep breath. Just like that, she somehow managed to shut off all her thoughts about Aiden and got off the bed. It was time to use her time on better things! Stella walked to the dinner room, still in her
" No, it okay. This is none of your fault," Stella shook her head negatively, as she responded back to Harsley and went back to her seat." Huh?" Harsley was stunned and blinked her eyes multiple times, before she realised Stella was not going to hurt her or anything. " I said it not your fault," Stella repeated what she said earlier. Harsley just nodded upon hearing this but said nothing at all. After that, no one said anything, and the only thing that enveloped the whole dinning room was absolute silence! " Let's go shopping," Stella suggested the moment she was done with her food, and she dabbed her mouth corner with a colored tissue. " For real?" Harsley was also done with her food, and she pushed her empty dish aside. " Yeah." Stella nodded and stood up immediately. This was what she could think of as she desperately wanted to free her mind from all thoughts, most especially Aiden! " Okay Sis." Harsley also agreed and quickly vanished away from the dining room..
