The Secret Heir Of Slytherin Empire

17. His wife and her boyfriend would be there

The meeting ended after nearly four hours, it was an acquisition target business meeting, they spent time speaking on the position of their target in the market, and there was so much deliberation on how and how not to begin.

Oscar, who wasn't entirely new to the process, stayed silent for most of the conversation. He only said a few things whenever someone asked for his opinion, and that was it.

The meeting ended without a definite conclusion, as it was to continue virtually until they reached a final decision. They had to take care of current investors and a few prospective partners for the time being.

As soon as Oscar walked out of the conference room, he sighed heavily. He had a lot to learn if he was going to play a good role as acting CEO, because the sooner they found out that he didn't know so much, the sooner they'd use his head.

"How was the meeting, sir?" Leo, who had been in his office until five minutes ago, asked when Oscar stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor.

"It went well," Oscar replied,

"But like you said, I have a lot to learn." He whispered, and Leo nodded.

"You seem very interested, sir. I will give you a few more reports to read through, and I will recommend videos from the CEO of other companies, and your mother knows a lot also... speaking of your mother, sir," Leo said, arranging the papers in his hand.

"What about her?" Oscar asked.

"She just arrived, outside, and so as your uncle, Mr Aiden Slytherin, I suggest you see him before you leave," Loe replied, but Oscar wasn't paying attention because he was distracted by those men from the meeting who kept coming over to say goodbye and shake hands with him.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Oscar asked after responding to all the greetings, and Leo did not hesitate to repeat what he had said.

"Oh, here he comes now," Leo looked toward the door, and Oscar also turned in that direction to see a pot-bellied man in his late forties walk into the office.

"That's him?" He asked.

"Yes sir, that is your father's younger brother. He must be here to see you too, or maybe not, but it would be best if you introduce yourself to him." Leo suggested, and Oscar nodded his head.

He signaled his bodyguards to hold on while he walked up to Aiden with a cheerful countenance.

"Good day, sir." He extended his hand for a handshake, and Aiden raised a brow, wondering who this young man was and why he came to greet him.

"Good day," Aiden replied, thinking that it was a new worker who must have been told that he was a senior associate.

"The name is Oscar sir, I was told that you are Mrs... my mother's brother-in-law." Oscar introduced himself properly and the man's jaws dropped in astonishment.

"It is you?" He asked, faking a broad smile as though he was truly excited to meet him.

"Yes sir," Oscar replied, oblivious to the evil plans going on in the seemingly innocent mind of his uncle.

"I should have known," Aiden continued and patted him on the shoulder, a typical display of elderly behavior.

"You have a slight resemblance to your father, and it's such a sad tale that he is not here to see you."

"Hmm," Oscar sighed, He wasn't quite sure how to respond.

"Anyway, I'm on my way to speak with a few people, stop by my house for dinner tonight let's talk more, we have missed your presence in the Slytherin house." Aiden offered and without thinking twice about it, Oscar nodded his head in agreement.

"I will stop by," He said and shook hands with the old man again before he left to attend to the things he talked about.

Inviting Oscar to his home was the last thing he wanted to do, but how else was he supposed to treat the young man without revealing the hatred buried in his heart for him?

Once he was gone, Oscar's bodyguard crowded him up again instantly, and for a second he was startled, it was something that he had yet to get used to.

Following the same way he had in earlier, Oscar went out of the building and was headed for the parking lot when he remembered that Leo had mentioned that his mother had also arrived.

"Where is she?" He turned to ask, but Leo wasn't with them, from the glass door he could see Leo still inside the building.

"Do any of you know where my mother is?" He asked the bodyguard, and immediately one of them replied.

"I will take you to meet her immediately." He took the lead, and Oscar followed from behind, they approached one of the cars parked outside, and Oscar could see his mother behind the wheel, but she wasn't driving, rather she was immersed in whatever she seemed to be doing on her phone.

Amy raised her head when Oscar knocked gently on her mirror.

"How was the meeting?" She asked him, after rolling down the glass.

"Oh, it went well, at least for the time being, and I met Mr Aiden on my way out," Oscar added and his mother was immediately taken aback, she didn't want her newly found son to have anything to do with that man.

"What did he say to you?" She asked, wondering if he had treated Oscar with disrespect.

"He was happy to see me," Oscar replied,

"He also invited me over for dinner at his house, would you like to come along with me...

"No," she replied very quickly to Oscar's surprise,

"I don't want you to have anything to do with that man, he will smile at you but he hates you, don't be fooled by his charming behaviour Oscar."

"Oh," Oscar exclaimed, that was quite an unexpected twist, and since she knew better, he asked,

"So should I cancel then?"

"No need," Amy replied,

"Don't go, and if he asks, tell him that you couldn't make it, if he tries to reschedule, tell him that you are very busy and will get back to him when you are free. For now, Oscar, stick to learning how the company works, by the way, you should be getting ready for tomorrow, we have a lot of investors and those who wish to partner with the company."

"Okay then," Oscar replied, even though he couldn't wait for tomorrow to come because his wife and her boyfriend would be there.
