When Ric walked in to the meeting room, there was a large round oak table with about four doors around. He read the labels on each door and immediately knew which one to go through.He found dark shades placed strategically with the label Chairman and he easily unlocked the glass box and retrieved the shades before entering the room.When he walked in after scanning his finger and eyes, he saw a long conference table and five men sat around it making him the sixth.They were so far apart and each wore shades which made it difficult to tell who was who.The men were shocked to see such a beggarly dressed man walk in and assume the empty seat and the head of the table but none made a comment because they knew only the chairman himself could gain such access.All five men stood to acknowledge Ric and only returned to their sitting positions when he had fully settled into his seat.A system popped before Ric and Lazer rays scanned him and a profile appeared for all to see. When his name Ri
"Take me to him immediately please," Ric said hurriedly, he had a lot of things to say to his father and maybe some stories would be told better by his fist.The man shook his head."I am sorry Sir, the security of this place allows only one person use na exit so that door is completely disabled for security reasons already." The man informed Ric.Ric nodded slowly, these Elites were really very cautious with security measures."I am Clarke DeVille from our of Avrilla city." The man took off his shades and introduced himself to Ric. Ric thought to do same but a thought crossed his mind before he took of his glasses and he immediately left them on."Ric Mar---" Ric paused. "Ric Maximillano, you know who I am already." Ric corrected himself.Ric had decided to not reveal his identity to the man even if he was in the close circle, he thought that if his father had put these security measures in place and insisted he alone became Chairman then they definitely had black cats within as well.
Lisa could not pretend any longer since he was not a rich and privileged Man."Aaliyah Gullathova." Aaliyah introduced herself lost in Ric's captivating blue eyes and charm."We have to go now," Lisa immediately snatched Aaliyah's hand from where it was joined with Ric's and pulled her friend away.Ric stood there transfixed as he watched Aaliyah's retreating form. She had well outlined curves and she was tall. Maybe a five feet eleven, she was slender and her long black hair fell loosely over her shoulders so and the dress she wore accentuated her long legs.Ris did not pursue after them rather he returned to the car and met Damon offloading the items into the trunk of the car so he lent him a hand.Ric absentmindedly stuffed the things into the car alongside side Damon while his mind was preoccupied with Aaliyah's soft facial features. Her pouty pink lips and pointed nose. Her puppy brown eyes and perfect dentition."Who were they?" Damon asked Ric."Who?" Ric had no idea what Damon
Ric rose early in the morning as he had a culture of rising early no matter how late he slept. Ric was surprised to find the space beside him empty and the sheets on that side was still neatly laid out.Ric dropped on his knees and said a prayer before studying the Rhapsody of Realities devotional he had found in the Chairman suit and carried with him.If he was going to pull through a lot of things then he needed to somewhat believe in something.He put on some running sneakers he had before he went to jail and a small sport short and jersey top before leaving the house for a run.When Ric returned, Damon who was asleep on the couch in the living room when Ric had left was fully awake and busy in the backyard tending to his garden."If I had a body as nice as yours, I'll never wear running shoes in my life." Damon teased a perspiration soaked Ric."That's why you don't have the build that I have." Ric replied Damon before retrieving a glass and some fresh juice from the fridge to refr
When Ric and Damon arrived the event venue, they were very neatly dressed in suits of similar fashion and luxury that stood out amongst others.Damon handed the keys to the new Mercedes to the valet and both men walked in as camera lights flashed from every direction.It was a masquerade ball so everyone wore a mask and everyone was curious to know who the new Chairman of the Hemsworth board was, news had already spread like wild fire about the Chairman being the lost Dragon heir of Lord Maximillano another anonymous figure to the public eye.The ball was filled with people in and out of Avrilla city because most people wanted to know who the chairman was since they never knew Lord Maximillano, a lot of people expected that since the new Chairman has suspended Lord Maximillano before he retired, he would do things differently and reveal his identity.Rumor already had it that he was a simple man that chose to live in Avrilla city amongst common people despite all of his riches and infl
While everyone panicked, Johnson immediately got bodyguards to take the chairman and the man on top of him to safety.When Johnson arrived the room where they were both kept, Johnson realized that Ric had not been injured at all except a cut on his wrist when he fell from the impact of the man that had jumped on him.The man was completely unconscious as he had taken the bullet for Ric and Ric sat there in shock.Where these some of the perks that came with being Chairman?More than ever before Ric was more determined to keep his identity hidden and Johnson fully agreed."Come with me please," Johnson led Ric to an inner room where he immediately changed out to the suit he had come to the ball with initially but he forgot to change his mask.Ric had returned to the busy crowd to mix up with everyone else before someone immediately shouted, "That's the Chairman!"Ric felt self conscious and his heart dropped to his stomach when he realized he was the one the lady pointed at.While all
Ric walked in with Damon to meet someone."I think you should wait for her at the table alone," Damon told Ric when they accessed the restaurant address they were given.Lord Gullathova had insisted that Ric met his granddaughter even if Ric had agreed to the marriage.Ric sat at the table number he was given dressed in a casual White dress shirt with several buttons from the collar left undone.He busied himself with pending work he had left incomplete to attend this blind date. The only thing he knew about his date was that she was the grand daughter of the man he had just entered into a business deal with.He had told the man he did not care what his granddaughter looked like since he was marrying her based on the conditions stated in their agreement and to Ric it was a fair deal on both sides.Two beautiful and familiar ladies pushed open the restaurant door and chatted away, one had jet black hair while the other had blonde hair."What do you think he will look like?" The blonde h
In the Gullathova Mansion, Lord Gullathova threw a party, he invited all his family members and close relatives saying he had an important announcement to make."Attention everyone." Lord Gullathova clinged his glass to get the attention of everyone around the table and there was silence."We are gathered today because I want announce to you all that my grand daughter Aaliyah will be getting married soon." Lord Gullathova spoke very confidently but Aaliyah did not look very happy."Father, did you really find a rich man for our Aaliyah?" Aaliyah's mother Charlene immediately asked excited. She knew how much her father in law loved her daughter and often bragged about how he was going to make sure he married her to a very rich and influential man."Oh, my Dear Aaliyah surely deserves the best and soon everyone will meet her husband, as for now enjoy the party." Lord Gullathova concluded.When Aaliyah got a chance, she approached her grandfather and questioned him."Grandpa," she called
