Alaric couldn't believe his ears. What the hell did Norton say? He turned around to meet the downcast face of Kimberly who was feeling guilty. All this while, the friend he had was the girlfriend of an enemy who was the brother of a bigger enemy."Is that true?" He asked Kimberly, who couldn't say a word. Norton was pleased with what he did, and he laughed very hard. Alaric's eyes were filled with disgust, and he couldn't believe that Kimberly would hide an important thing from him."Look, Alaric. This is not how I wanted it to be. I wanted to tell you, and I didn't even know you knew Norton," Kimberly explained."So you had to hide the fact that Arnold and Norton are brothers?" He asked her."No Alaric. I didn't know that the both of you were beefing with each other," she said."You knew about me, but you didn't know about the identity of the person you call your friend? Come on, Alaric. Step up your game. I can't believe that you didn't know all this while. I'm so sure that you wou
"Young Master, is there anywhere else you would want to go? We can drive all the way over to that place," Steve said. Alaric shook his head."Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere else. Don't go back to the hotel. We have to visit my mother at the villa," he said."You want to visit ma'am at the Villa? I thought we already booked the hotel for about…""Don't worry. I don't want them to run out of business, by reserving rooms not even in use. The 20 rooms will be better free. I just want to meet my mother right now. I need to tell her so many things," he said."Alright, young master. As you request, we will go to the villa. It might take about 10-20 minutes before we reach there since this place is far away from the Hotel.""Don't worry. I'm not impatient," Alaric said. Many thoughts run through his mind. How could something like that happen? His enemy, Norton, was the brother of Kimberly's boyfriend! It only meant that nothing would be Kimberly's brother-in-law when she gets married t
"Don't you think that that is a bit too early?" His mother asked him, with obvious concern on her face."Young Master told me about it earlier. I was surprised that he wanted to start tomorrow, too," Steve said."Well, that's right. I want to start tomorrow. It's my wish that you allow me to start tomorrow. There is no need to wait 1 week before I start, and I am sure that I am perfectly alright to start the job tomorrow. I can't wait to see the people at the office," Alaric said, excitedly."Well, it indeed is a good reason to be excited, young master, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. I know that it's going to be tough being the head of the Wright Empire," Steve informed."I'm well aware of that, Steve. If I was afraid about going through a hard time at the office, then I definitely wouldn't dream of assuming the office in the first place.""But son, you can wait. You can rest for a while, before having a full mindset to kick off the head start to a successful work at the office."
"What did you just say?" The manager asked Steve. "Yes. You heard me right. I think you have made a very big mistake, and you must apologize to him right away," Steve said. The manager turned to Alaric and bowed down his head. "I'm so sorry for whatever I just said. I was fooled by your appearance, not knowing that not all heroes wear capes," he said."This isn't the first time someone is acting like this to me because of the way I dress. I don't need to wear designer clothes, and have jewelry all around me for people to know that I am the heir of a large and successful conglomerate.""I'm very sorry, young master Alaric. Forgive my manners, and that of the receptionist too. I'm sure she was also as surprised as I was. Nowadays, many people come here pretending to be rich. They only act like they are rich fellows, but I did plan and scheme to steal, or leave.""Does that happen here?" Steve asked. "Yes, Mr. Steve. It happens a lot. I was so surprised that someone dressed so casuall
Alaric ran his eyes through the fleet of cars and looked at the ones he liked."Young master, this is the best car dealership in the entire city. I'm sure you will find something you like," Steve said Alaric nodded and smiled. "Most of the cars are very good, and I like them.""We have so many cars to see, and so many sections. Audis, Lambos, Bugattis, Toyotas, Mercedes too," the man who attended to them, a gentleman in nature, with dark brown hair, and in an official outfit, said."Let me take a look at your Bugattis. I heard they're very good," Alaric said."Sure, the Atti is over there. Let's take a look at the section," the man said. After minutes of going through many cars, Alaric finally selected one."I love a fast car, so this is what I want," he said, pointing at a Bugatti Veyron."Young Master, this is a limited edition, so the price is more…""What is the price? I will pay it right now," he said or will have Steve pay it."A limited edition of this costs about $15 mill
Hours later, the meeting concluded, and Alaric emerged from the conference room with a renewed sense of purpose. He met Steve, who was waiting to provide a brief summary of the day's agenda. "Sir, you have a series of meetings lined up with department heads and key stakeholders," Steve informed him. "They're eager to work with you and share their insights on various initiatives." Alaric nodded appreciatively. He realized that being a CEO meant more than just making high-level decisions. It meant forging strong relationships, inspiring teams, and guiding the company's vision. As the day progressed, Alaric dove headfirst into his new role. He met with department heads, listened to their ideas, and encouraged collaboration. He emphasized the importance of fostering a supportive and innovative work environment, where everyone's contributions were valued. By the end of the day, Alaric felt a profound sense of fulfillment. He had taken the first steps on his journey as CEO, and he
Steve leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "The Williams family is a great family. They don't have a monarchial lineage like the Wrights, but they are pretty wealthy. They are involved in fashion and design, and they also have sub-brands under their name. They once wanted to work with the Wright Empire, but they were declined the opportunity by us.""Why?" Alaric asked."I don't know. All the reasons for that su known to the boss and madam. I am only an assistant, and I don't handle personal matters relating to business deals and cooperations, or internal prospects of the company's finance and wealth.""But you know a lot. Isn't there any way you figured out the reason?""There could be a wide range of reasons. The boss is a highly demanding man, and he must have not agreed because he knew that they weren't good enough. It was a long time ago. Maybe they weren't just up to the standards at that time, and so they were rejected. We only have business deals with internati
Alaric's heart raced as he clutched the phone tightly in his trembling hands, his voice a desperate plea. "Sasha! Sasha!" he shouted, his tone filled with worry and fear. The line crackled with static, heightening his anxiety. "Are you there? What happened?"Silence hung in the air for what felt like an eternity until a weak, distant voice finally responded. "Alaric... help me," Sasha's voice came through, her words laced with pain and uncertainty. "I...I've been in an accident."Alaric's breath hitched, his mind spinning with a whirlwind of emotions."What?! How did that happen?!" He asked, desperate, and agitated. "Young master, is anything wrong?" Steve asked, looking worried."Just hang on there. Make sure you don't move. Hand on there and wait for me, Sasha! Don't move," he yelled."Young Master, has there been an accident? Do we need to go there right now?" Steve asked, with urgency full in his words. Alaric turned to Steve. "There is no need for all of us to go there. Give m
