"I'm impressed. Never say never, though. Anyways, you shouldn't mention this to Evelyn, or anybody else. Not my father, any other worker, anybody at the office, my sister, or even my mother. Nobody else. Keep it sealed," he said, with intensity in his eyes."Yes, young Master. I will," Steve said, nodding, and Alaric shook hands with him, embracing him after. "Let's go outside. Don't worry, we have Mr Jefferson where we want him. There is no way to escape now," Alaric assured Steve, and he nodded. They both left the office, and Alaric almost bumped into Evelyn as he came out. Turns out she was standing in front of the office, waiting at the door for the meeting to be over. He turned and looked at Steve. There was no way she was eavesdropping, right? He thought to himself."Uh… I'm sorry, young Master," she said, moving three steps backward."What? Ummm… you were standing here the whole time? When did you come here?" He asked her. She shook her head. "No, young Master. I only came
" Sir Jefferson, what's the problem?" The driver, whose name was Brad, asked him. "Don't ask stupid questions. They're after me, they will kill me. They want to destroy me. Just drive!" He ordered, and immediately Brad ignited the engine, and stepped foot on the damn gas pedal, zooming off. It was a very quick drive as Mr. Jefferson had instructed him to drive at full speed. Brad was even worried about getting into an accident, but Mr. Jefferson wouldn't give an ear to his pleas. He ordered him to drive straight. On the road, Mr. Jefferson was almost involved in an accident, but he didn't care about that. He only wanted to see his family and explain to them what happened at the office, in the meeting with Alaric. He couldn't wait to tell them that they had enemies now. The car pulled up at the front of the Jeffersons' Grand House, and Mr. Jefferson was not slow to step out of his car. He immediately stepped out, and jammed the car door behind him, leaving Brad, his driver wonder
"What are you trying to tell us, Dad? I don't understand anything. What is the Wright empire, and how do you know about them, Norton?" Arnold asked, squinting, obviously confused with what was going on between his father and his younger brother, Norton. "The Wright empire is one of the greatest conglomerates in the world, Arnold. If you are really fond of reading newspapers and getting updated, you will know about them. They hold so many things in their possessions, ranging from malls, all the way to other popular brands, dealing with so many things, and they are very powerful and influential. I don't understand what Father has against them, though," Norton replied. "Honey, why are you not saying anything? You have heard what Norton said. Say something about this. I am equally as confused as them, and I don't understand anything. What do you have against the powerful Wright Empire? Please tell us what you mean," Mrs. Jefferson begged her husband. She was getting fed up with Mr. Je
"Yes, son. He is the new CEO of the Wright Empire. A young but dangerous guy, ALARIC WRIGHT," he stated, and a resounding bomb kept deafening Norton as he heard the name his father stated. Alaric?! He thought to himself. No way! He was lost in thoughts and was shocked for a moment, and the whole family noticed that he wasn't saying anything. "What happened, Norton? Why are you like that? You're not saying anything? What are you thinking about?" Mr. Jefferson asked him. Norton cleared his throat. "Alaric… Wright?" He asked again, to make sure that he heard correctly. "Yes, son. Alaric Wright. What happened?" His father asked. "Who… who is Alaric Wright? How come I have never heard about him?" Norton asked, and Mr. Jefferson thought deeply. "Well, I didn't know either, and was both confused and surprised when I got to see his face. He is the new CEO of the Wright Empire. According to what I heard, he assumed office when he was proclaimed CEO, and his father was the previous CE
"Yeah, we must make the people who stole from us suffer. But, do you have anyone in mind?" "No one, Arnold. Father already mentioned that the Wright Empire is our new enemy. Wait… what if they were the ones who wiped off the money from…" Norton said, gasping, and his eyes widened. Arnold too was shocked. "No way!" Arnold muttered to himself. It could be, or maybe not! They had started to understand everything. "Yes, Arnold. It could be. I'm not certain about it, but I know that this might be the person who's responsible for all of this. There is a possibility, and we'll have to find out about this to be sure of it," Norton said. "What are you saying, Norton? What do you mean by you will have to find out? What are you planning to do? I'm sure that you don't have the balls to go to the Wright Empire because then I'm a hundred percent sure that you won't be coming back alive. Father already warned us about it," Arnold said, trying to ask Norton to stay back. Nothing was not rea
At the Wright company, Alaric walked sour with Steve. "Young Master, I thought you'd have more meetings, but then, you proved me wrong. Anyway, you'll have to inform our potential business partners that you won't be having many meetings per day. You only had one today, and I'm not sure you'll be able to have any more, because you have to go to the hospital right now. How can we tell them this?" "I told Evelyn to reschedule everything right? It will be fine then. I postponed the meeting. Is there anything wrong with that?" Alaric asked. "That's not my point, young master. You know that these business partners are also busy people. Your father, the boss, had planned to meet with them. However, since you have taken up the position of CEO, you will be the one to meet with them, and I know you are aware of that. What I'm trying to say is that they could be angry because of the way we have postponed so many meetings," Steve said. "Don't worry about that, Steve. I'm sure that we're going
Steve entered the office, with hopes that he would find the ring, and on the table, he saw something he didn't expect. He looked with shock at the sight of the table before him. Nothing was there. "No way! Where is it? Where is the ring? I'm sure the young master wouldn't be able to live without it. Where is the ring?" He asked, looking at an empty table. There was nothing on the table, and he was feeling broken. "No. This can't be happening. The Young Master can't face something like this. We have to find the ring before something happens. Sir Wright wouldn't be happy to hear this, and it could put the young master in a bad situation. No. It shouldn't happen. I need to do something right now," he said to himself, Ashe tried to look around. The office was very large and illuminated so he was able to see, but even as he searched deeper for the ring, he still couldn't get his eyes off the empty table. He had assured Alaric that he was going to come back with the ring, and he didn'
"Young Master, you're well aware of what is going to happen if your father hears about this, right?" Steve asked."What is the consequence?""DISMEMBERMENT FROM THE FAMILY!" Alaric was a bit surprised as he heard the words. He didn't know that by losing the ring given to him by his father, he would be kicked out of the family. He didn't want to imagine what it was like down at the bottom again and back to the gutters, and it wouldn't be a good ending to the story, but he had no choice but to accept whatever fate had in store for him."I don't have any choice but to accept whatever is going to happen, Steve. I would rather face the consequences than let the entire world know the secret happenings in my family. I am ready t o face the consequences, Steve," he said. Steve was worried and wished that Alaric didn't say those words. He didn't want to hear them from Alaric and wanted him to stay, but Alaric was already prepared for what was going to come."What do you mean, young master?
