Tyler Welensky's Rise To Power

Chapter 0006

Tyler and Bella walked into the building side by side as the floor made sounds to each step they took. “You still haven't told me why we’ here Bella.” Tyler said while cleaning imaginary dust on his sleeves.

“We're here for a family bidding meeting.” She waved at someone in the room.

“I've never done that before.”

“I know, you've spent most of your life being a janitor and living with some bitch who doesn't give a shit about your feelings.” She hoped he wouldn't find her words offensive.

They walked to sit among the other well respected personalities at the round table, rich and highly placed families that wanted to be part of the ongoing project.

“There's so many other families here.” Tyler said to Bella and she drew closer.

“Yeah, the number is larger sometimes.”

Tyler was silent for a few seconds, he thought about Jose, the man who snatched his wife from him and wondered if Jose's family was also there. “Is there a family named Monroe in the list?” He finally asked.

Bella glanced at the secretary at her side and she quickly ran checks “Yes, there's a candidate from the Monroe family. But they're just some small low level people. Probably insignificant.” The secretary said.

Bella could see the discomfort from Tyler's face “You have a problem with the Monroes?” She placed a hand on his shoulder.

“That name ruins my mood, a member of that family took my wife away from me.”

“Oh shit!”

“Yeah, I went to deliver a package and I didn't know I was going to deliver condoms to Jose Monroe to use it and smash my own wife.”

“Oh my God! I'm so sorry to hear that Tyler.” She was genuinely touched by the short story, she could already notice Tyler's voice skipping, he was still hurt and it was evident.

“The Monroe guy insulted me in front of everyone and disrespected me by smoothing my wife right in front of me, made fun of me, cursed me and they all laughed.”

“What? That's terrible.” Bella’s face was scrunched up with furrowed eyebrows, she immediately turned to the secretary with narrowed eyes “Remove his name immediately! Remove the fucking Monroe family from the list right now!”

“On it ma’am.” The secretary said with her finger pressing the delete key on the computer keyboard.

Jose Monroe and Elena walked in the building with smiles on their faces, they held hands and tried to make Tyler jealous as Elena showed off the new bag gifted to her by Jose. A young man approached Jose, extending a warm greeting “Congratulations for being a candidate, Mr Jose Monroe. I hope you won't forget me when you get to the top.”

"Without your hint from the secretary's office, I wouldn't have been able to act so promptly," Jose chuckled in reply.

“Have you heard the rumors?” the young man asked after quickly scratching his beard.

“What rumors?” Jose and Elena asked at the same time.

“It's all over the headquarters that a new heir will be announced today.”

“Really?” Jose could notice Elena picking more interest in the topic.

"Yeah really.” The man said. “The media snapped a pic of this sharp-dressed dude chilling at the entrance of the venue today," he added.

Elena’s eyes went wide open after hearing that, “New heir? Can I get to see him one day?” she asked enthusiastically.

“Of course you can even do it now!”

“Really? Where is he?”

“Right there!” The young man pointed to a direction.

As Elena looked around, she spotted Tyler sitting at the VIP table with his neat expensive suit. The ladies nearby were whispering, clearly intrigued. “Why does he look so handsome today? Damn!” Elena said to herself.

“What are you doing here?” A voice said behind Tyler, it sounded familiar and he wasn't shocked to see that it was Elena right behind him.

“What I do or where I am is none of your business.” He replied in the calmest way possible.

Jose smiled and stepped forward, “Listen pig, you can't keep showing up where the rich are gathered alright? For a sec I thought you were a noble heir. But I know you're either a waiter or here to deliver a package ha ha.”

Tyler looked up at him with his heart bouncing harder, his fists clenching and eyes going deeper “Laugh all you can, but I hope you can still open those teeth of yours after some time.”

“Sure he can laugh and keep laughing at you, Tyler. You're so shameless and comfortable with it, this is not a place for losers like you so you better get the fuck out!” Elena said.

Tyler put his head down like he was thinking of what to say, before he could utter a word, a lady stood up to Elena “Listen to me, if i were you, i wouldn't speak so carelessly to our VIP!”

“VIP? Tyler is a VIP guest? For real?” Elena asked herself, drowning in shock!
