14. MD

"What is going on?" Leo walked out of the elevator with a worried expression on his face, he saw Oscar's bodyguard holding down two securities to the ground, while the receptionist stood at a distance with fear written all over her face.

"Call the police immediately, " she yelled at Loe, who turned to her with an expression of shock and asked,

"Why?"

"This man is no Slytherin," she uttered and Loe almost slapped himself across the face, none of this would have happened if he had just called her rather than sent a text that she never opened.

Turning to Oscar who stood speechless behind the other two bodyguards, Leo apologized,

"I'm very sorry sir, please Pardon me, I failed to properly communicate the recent information to her for an update on the executive ranking."

"Huh?" Oscar raised a brow, his dramatic use of vocabulary wasn't making sense at that moment

"Uhmm, how do I do this, sir this is Natasha, she is one of the receptionists, and uhm...Natasha," He called and turned to face the confused young lady,

"This is Mr Oscar Fred Slytherin, acting CEO of the Slytherin Empire on his father's behalf." He introduced them, and Natasha's jaws dropped in astonishment.

Her face flushed with embarrassment which immediately turned to fear, as she was worried about what would become of her after humiliating the big boss himself and calling him an imposter.

She was surely going to get fired and probably beaten up until she was bleeding, but it was an honest mistake and she wasn't to blame entirely. However, she could have handled the situation less violently, but having known the reward for catching an imposter, she acted too quickly.

"I'm very sorry, sir. I did not get the message to her on time, please Pardon me," Leo apologized to Oscar once again almost going down on his knee, he knew that if Amy Slytherin learned about this, his life was over, and since Oscar was new, hopefully he'd be merciful enough to let it slide.

"I'm very sorry sir," Natasha fell on her knees, while the security men who had been held down by Oscar's bodyguards, stood to their feet to apologise as well.

Oscar just stood there with his mouth open, he watched as they begged him like he could take their lives, and had to admit that he liked it. It gave him a sense of pride which he enjoyed a bit, but he understood that it was an accident so he said,

"It's okay, I was only terrified by how quickly I was attacked, and Natasha," He faced her,

"If you were uncomfortable with it, you should have said something while I was still on the ground floor, sending two security men after me was not the best approach."

"I know that now sir, and I am very sorry," she pleaded and tried going closer to Oscar but his bodyguards stopped her from laying a hand on him.

"Like I said, it's fine, I just hope I'm not too late for the meeting yet."

"No sir, it starts in five minutes, we should get going," Leo took the lead this time. As for the receptionist, she couldn't get over the incident, as she constantly felt like she would get into trouble sooner or later for this.

"This is the conference room, sir, you will meet a few representatives from other branches, and the managing director himself, from the information I got, the MD is in a red suit." Leo tried to give him some more tips before proceeding to open the door.

Oscar walked into the conference room, a large room with a round table in the middle, surrounded by comfortable black office chairs.

The view of the city from the glass wall at the other end was spectacular, and the temperature was kept at a constant 22 degrees at all times.

More than half of the seats were occupied by these representatives, and Oscar did not miss the managing director whose red suit stood out among the black and blue suits that filled the room.

"Good day sir, " some men stood up to shake hands with him and until now, no one knew he was the new CEO.

The managing director looked at Oscar with a quizzical expression hoping that the company was not stupid enough to make a young, inexperienced man the acting CEO.

"Good day sir," Oscar's voice disrupted his thought, and he smiled, extended his hand for a shake, and said.

"Welcome, you must be one of the representatives?" He inquired indirectly.

"I'm afraid not sir," Oscar replied,

"I am Oscar Slytherin, and I was told that the representatives would love to meet the acting CEO which is why I came over."

The managing director could barely stop his jaws from dropping, he guessed right after all, and for a moment, he felt insulted but hid that behind his fake smile.

"Oh, Pardon me, sir, you are most welcome," He said and ushered Oscar to the seat next to him. Then he proceeded to introduce him to everyone.

Just like the MD, they were all stunned to learn that Oscar was the acting CEO. This led them to wonder what was wrong with the Slytherin family, because everyone expected to see Aiden, and not some random Slytherin member that they had never seen.

"You know what they say, the younger generation is very innovative," one of the men commented with a smile, and acknowledged Oscar's presence by standing up and coming to shake hands with him, and aside from him, a few other men did the same.

And while all this was going on, John Catar, the managing director just sat there quietly with a fake smile plastered on his face. He wanted that position more than anything else, and it already hurt him to hear that someone else was given that post.

Now seeing Oscar, he was even more annoyed, and full of hate for the young man who had taken what he wanted, John found himself squeezing so hard on the glass in front of him as if he intended to break it.
