The Ordained Heir Chapter 17
The room fell silent as he pushed open the door. The conference room was filled hu at least half a dozen people. Six pairs of eyes turned to him as he entered and the man standing at the center of head of the table shot him a glare. "Who the fuck are you?! Coming in here without permission?!" He snapped. Alexander was a little shocked at how high his voice was, he looked at the others at the table and noticed that they weren't so comfortable, each was either looking down at their book or tablet. "I must have lost my way, I was supposed to meet someone here," he replied calmly. "Who would be stupid enough to organize a meeting on the top floor when you're not a member of the executive cabinet?" The man spat. Immediately, the man who had accosted Alexander in the elevator ran in, panting after taking the flight of stairs. He wasn't very fit and he was out of breath at the slight physical exertion. "Sorry, Mr Simon, I tried to stop him but he kept marching here like a mad man,
The Ordained Heir Chapter 18
The whole room was in tense silence as Simon continued to weep and beg Alexander for forgiveness. "I had no idea that you were the heir Pa Harry was talking about, I'm so sorry," he begged. Pa Harry sneered at him, as if he read Alexander's mind, he asked, "So you disrespect people who walk on here in such a manner?" Simon shook his head but it was pointless, his actions spoke dozens. Alexander finally shook his hold off his leg and asked the guards to take him out of his sight. The men yanked Simon off the floor despite the fact that he'd been their boss just a few seconds ago. "Please...I had no idea...please," he begged but the guards didn't stop until he was outside. Turning to the conference room, he looked at the faces of all the staff and realized that they all seemed a little relieved that he was gone. Without being told, Alexander could deduce that Simon had not been the best leader in the company, they were happy that his reign was over - even the way that the gua

The Sean family tower was the largest in the best expanse of land. It was the tallest building in the whole town and one of the tallest in the city. Alexander was still marveled at the amazing structure despite it being his second time there. Harry got down from the vehicle and Alexander did so too. Brad as usual opened the door to the lobby and ushered both men inside. Alexander could not deny the fact that he was a little anxious, he had been waiting to see the Sean family council again after the first time. "Alexander, I must tell you that you did not make the brightest first impression," Harry told him warily, "I don't know how the members of the council will respond to seeing you again but I hope it will work out fine for you," he said. Alexander had a lot on his mind, he badly wanted to tell the butler that he did not care what members of the council thought about him and he wasn't concerned about his terrible first impression - especially when they considered him spe

Josiah shut the document heavily with a loud sound and slid it across the table to Alexander. Once again Harry wanted to interfere but he was beginning to feel foolish for trying to defend Alexander when he did not even look like he needed defense. Alexander picked up the document with a sense of confidence and boldness. "Is this all?" He asked. All the men on the table burst laughing, "Trust me, that is more than enough," One of the men replied. "A lot of people have never returned to the family just by trying to fulfill the trial, you are asking if it is enough? You must be kidding," Another man said with a sarcastic laugh. Josiah seemed very pleased That the men had succeeded in intimidating Alexander and making him rethink the challenge he had just accepted. "The deed is done, and for your question, Alexander, it is more than enough and you will find out soon," Josiah replied. It seemed that the meeting had only been convened just to address Alexander because imm
The Ordained Heir Chapter 21
The sky was a little cloudy as Alexander walked out of the Sean Tower. He was not bothered about all the discouraging words that the old men at the executive council had said. The trial document in hand, Alexander knew that all he had to do was find a way to tackle the trial one after the other. He was not afraid of starting his own company. All his life, Alexander was not very used to hand outs, he did all he could just to fend for himself and his ungrateful wife. And although her family was much richer than he could ever have imagined himself to be, he was not a leech or parasite That wanted to live off his in-laws. Alexander was quickly learning how to be a man, and not just a man but a man of value and power. He stepped out of the elevator proudly, he could hear the old butler's footsteps right behind him. "I think we've done this before, this is the point where you meet me after the meeting and begin to tell me everything I said wrong and how I should ask for mercy, right?
The Ordained Heir Chapter 22
It was later that evening that Alexander finally cleaned up and decided to meet Alicia at one of the fanciest restaurants in the town. He asked Brad to make a special reservation for just the two of them at the rooftop. Alexander was a little scared, maybe not terrified as the old man had wanted him to be but that did not mean he was not anxious or nervous at all. He was still bothered about how he would accomplish such a hard task. He refused to even think about the parts where he had to marry a royal from one of the top four families in the city. Deciding he would get to that sea when the time was right and definitely find a way to cross it, he focused his attention on the very first task. Unbuttoning his shirt two at the top, he stepped out of the car and walked into the restaurant, Brad was right behind him. The valley at the entrance got the car key and ushered them inside. Alexander could not help but admit that the place was exquisite. Multicolored chandeliers hun

Alicia moved back, her face and mask of horror, "What are you doing here, Dad?" She asked in shock. Alexander was surprised too, he wondered how the father they had just been discussing a few minutes ago managed to arrive at the restaurant so quickly. "Did you really think I was going to let you miss that trip to Italy?" The father asked, his tone anything but friendly. "Dad, I told you I am not interested in going, why don't you let Andrew go," she said defensively, throwing her napkin on the table and crossing her arms stubbornly. "Really? When did I start trusting Andrew with my business deals, you know he is barely useful in the day-to-day operations of the company," he replied stiffly. "I don't care., figure it out yourself, I am not interested in making that trip and you won't bully me into it," she spat, suddenly engaged at his aggressive behavior. Alexander was feeling very uncomfortable because he was caught in the crossfire of a family argument that he had n
The Ordained Heir Chapter 24
Alexander looked at Alicia's father as he quickly instructed the waiter to get his card and pay for everything they had bought from the restaurant, including the special reservation. Alicia simply rolled her eyes because she knew that her father was accusing Alexander wrongly. "You think I am going to let you little boyfriend get away with this one?" Beck asked. But Alexander did not reply, in fact he did not need to because his actions would have to speak clearer than whatever words he had to say. The waiter looked a little confused, as much as he did not want to embarrass Alexander because he had just booked such an expensive restaurant, he was kind of torn between choices as Beck began to insult him and claim he did not have the money to pay. In fact, the waiter kind of believed Beck because he was a very influential man in the town and his daughter, Alicia , often came to the restaurant too and was always with men that made her take the bill. Apparently, Alexander would not be

The fire and fight visibly drained out of Margaret and she sagged on the floor, laying the hammer down and raising her hands in surrender. The guards got to her and grabbed her by the arm, hurling her up from the floor and steadying her. It was right then that the waterworks began. Margaret began to cry fiercely, asking for Alexander's forgiveness. "Please, you said we could sorry this out, you said you'd wave it away like it never happened. I know that you're the young master, please help me!" She begged, sobbing and struggling against the guard's grasp. Alexander looked at her, he couldn't believe how easily it had all gone south. His office was a mess, he'd just accused the secretary wrongly and now he was going to have to send someone to jail and he wasn't even a month old in the company yet. "You brought this on yourself, Margaret, you have to take responsibility for it," he replied plainly. She shook her head and kept crying, "You said I should step away, you promise

At that moment, Margaret realized that someone else was in the office and she froze. Her eyes widened as she saw Pamela and Alexander and she quickly jumped down from the chair, landing on the floor and twisting her ankle. She cried out and held onto the table for balance. Alexander was a little too stunned to say anything, he simply looked at her, he just couldn't believe his eyes. No more was the timid and meek woman he saw at the office every other day, dressed in moderate clothes and acting like she couldn't look anyone in the eyes. In her place was a woman that looked fierce enough to take down both of them in a blink. She was breathing heavily through him enough, her hair was a mess of cobwebs and she was drenched in sweat. "What are you doing here, Margaret?" Alexander asked, his voice low, disbelieving, disappointed. Margaret didn't look remorseful at all, she sneered at him instead. "What do you think I'm doing? Of course I'm taking what I want!" She snapped. Pame

At the top floor, Alexander walked as stealthily as he could, making his way down the hallways quietly, he turned to the left where the cafeteria was nestled before the main offices. He couldn't see anyone in sight. Usually, no one was ought to be in the office before 7:00 a.m. There was no staff who would come so early unless they had ulterior motives or a job to complete. The security down stars most have given Pamela access because she was a staff and it didn't matter how early she wanted to come to the company, she was an important person there had no one could stop her - especially when they all knew she was the one making the payroll and decided who should be fired and who stays. Alexander crept up the hallway and walked slowly to the office line up but he suddenly bumped into someone on his way. The hallways were still dark and that meant whoever was there had left the lights off to avoid being seen and turned on the light only in his office to go through his files. S

The accountant in his office was shaking like a leaf. Alexander had been questioning him for the last thirty minutes and although the man said the same thing, he was visibly nervous and would rather be anywhere but there. "You're sure you have never missed a few transactions? Huh?" He asked again and the old man shook his head. "No, sir, all I have to do is redirect into the company's account and then the auditors bring an inventory of all our equipment and whatever other expenditures there are for the month. I've never missed any record," he said, his tone pleading. Alexander was not a bully. As a matter of fact he'd been at the other end of that stick for quite a while to know not to treat someone else like that. As much as he wanted to get the culprit and bring justice, he wasn't willing to bully someone into admitting it when it really wasn't them. At that point, after a few hours in the air conditioned room and still managing to break into sweat, Alex was sure the accoun

Margaret's breath might have stopped for a while as Alexander spoke. Her eyes widened and she began to fidget. Her heart was hammering in her chest like she was going to have a seizure soon. "Are you okay?" Alexander asked her and she nodded but she looked anything but. Her face was red and she was visibly hyperventilating. "Take a seat, is everything okay?" He asked, concerned with her sudden reaction. Margaret nodded and grabbed into the edge of the table, slowly lowering herself to the seat. "I've been...it's..." She stammered but Alexander cut her in. "Calm down, I know that you just took over from Simon and all and you don't really know everything about the records but I think you can help," he said and she kept on staring at him like something was wrong. "I asked you the other day and I think you wanted to say something but there were too many faces, could you say it now?" He asked and she hummed. "Come on, Margaret, don't be afraid, is there anyone suspecting you might

Alexander was oblivious to the plans of his in-laws against him. Not only had Grace found a way to get his attention but she was going to set about it in the worst method possible. Fiona didn't want to be a part of it because she was still ashamed of how it had gone down the last time at the police station with Uncle Benson but Grace was a little more optimistic. She had crafted out a cruel scheme that had to work one way or the other. Alexander showed up at work the next day, he had a few investors to meet from Germany and he was very pleased to receive them. Not only was he trying to grow the company but he was trying to get some connections for himself too. Miss Pamela had oddly been unavailable since the phone call at the storage room that day and although the P.A mentioned that she had called in sick, Alexander didn't believe that at all. It was about 10 o'clock when Margaret tapped on his office door and told him that the investors were down stairs and ready to meet with

Albert didn't look very happy, in fact, his face was twisted into an ugly frown as he tossed his bag on the couch and then unbuttoned his suit. Grace rolled her eyes at him. She was very uncomfortable with the fact that her husband couldn't even help the family despite all the connections he claimed to have. It was becoming obvious that Albert wasn't as powerful or wealthy as he had claimed before they got married and she had to live with that fact. "How was work today, Dad?" Fiona asked softly as he plopped down on the couch. "Could have been better, Back McIntyre is out of the country and that lousy daughter of his is too disrespectful to have a reasonable conversation with," he groaned frustratingly. Grace scoffed, "All this wouldn't happen if you could just get in touch with one of your big friends and ask for help," she said. Albert glared at her, he could sense the insult coming even before she landed and he tried to avoid the topic. It was a little secret between the

Everyone was trying to talk at about the same time and the living room ended up sounding oddly like a poultry farm. Grace could barely hear herself and Fiona was still struggling to make her point known to her family. "If you guys could just listen for one freaking second!" Fiona bellowed, frustrated with the whole lecture she was getting from her entire family. Grace, her mother glared at her, clearly not interested in whatever explanation she had to give. "What could you possibly say that will make any sense to us? We have just lost the one deal that meant everything to us!" She snapped. "But we have been doing well without them and we can still survive even if the McIntyre family doesn't want to invest in our company," she argued. Gilbert, her brother, chuckled and asked if she had any idea what was actually going on in the family. "I think you have been in your own little bubble with Alexander for so long and now you're with that Same guy so you haven't really been not

Waking up earlier and getting used to the taste of black coffee was something Alexander realized he had to get used to in order to function at the Sean company. Although he was the boss and could do as he pleased, show up whenever it was convenient and never even have to wake up before noon, he realized that there was a lot more involved in becoming the heir of the family than just sitting on a high chair and barking instructions, he had to be everywhere, he had to have his eyes on everything. Being at the company for just one day has taught him to be very patient with people and to keep his head a little low if he wanted to find out anything. Harry was right, the staff in the company - at least most of them - somehow knew him and the talk with Simon had spread far, so basically everyone was on their best since they realized he would now be working at the company officially. It was early morning the next day and Alexander decided to arrive early at the office. Alicia had calle
