Mr. Damon focused on reviewing their business records for the last two days. After implementing discounts, heavy promotions, revamping packaging, and reducing prices, their products started to gradually climb up. He couldn't contain his excitement as he continuously monitored the trade chart for the past forty-eight hours.A knock on the door interrupted him, and he glanced up to see Benson entering."Boss," Benson greeted, pulling out a chair and settling in comfortably."How's it going? Any news?" Mr. Damon inquired."Yes, it's about Scarlet Jones," Benson replied, prompting Mr. Damon to abandon the charts and lean in, keen to hear the update."She's the daughter of Felix," Benson began, and Mr. Damon's eyes widened in surprise."Felix, the Sacramento Mogul?" Mr. Damon confirmed, seeking clarification, and Benson nodded in affirmation making Damon even more curious.“No wonder her source of wealth,” he mused, reclining slowly into the arms of his chair as he voiced his thoughts alou
At the airport leading to New York, Jade and Pietro boarded their flight, and within the next two hours, they arrived in New York City. It had been approximately four days since they managed to get Damian to relinquish everything, and now they were heading back to Harry.At the airport, Harry pulled up in a blue Range Rover Sport and drove them back to the suite."Finally, it's all done!" Jade let out a relieved breath as she settled into Harry's car."Man, what a rollercoaster dealing with that lunatic," Pietro added.Harry couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful for their efforts in wrapping things up for him while he focused on his business ventures in New York. Now that he had control of the Luciano treasury, he was eager to delve into business and invest his funds, contemplating his next moves.He drove them to the suite, and as they dropped off, he smiled, "I've got something to do. I'll be back soon.""Young master, I can go with you," Pietro suggested, but Harry dismissed it
At Scarlet's office, Jade, Pietro, and Harry sat waiting for Scarlet, who had gone to get them some wine immediately after they came and noticed she wasn't hurt.Jade and Pietro had surprised Harry by refusing to rest and joining him in his ongoing fashion company's preparations for the upcoming launch.While Harry was deeply engrossed in a particular design, the door suddenly slammed open, revealing Jade and Pietro's arrival."What?" Harry exclaimed."Why didn't you guys stay back and rest?" he asked, concerned, but they brushed it off with a smile and settled comfortably on the couch.Then, Harry's secretary barged in after a few minutes, startling everyone."Sir, I think Ms. Scarlet is in trouble. She asked you to meet her in her office right away. She sounded very urgent," she said in a serious tone.All eyes turned to her and uncertainty filled the air, Harry swiftly pulled out his phone and dialed Scarlet's number, but she wasn't picking up."She isn't picking up?" Jade wore an
Scarlet walked out of her office slowly, attempting to shake off thoughts of Mr. Damon, but it was almost impossible. She pulled into her car and drove slowly down the streets. It was past 9 PM, and she was the only one left in the office. She didn't usually stay this late, but she had drifted into a deep sleep earlier, and the events of the day weighed heavily on her, causing her to forget the time of the day.She pressed the brake and waited in traffic for a couple of minutes before driving down the streets slowly while blasting some Afrobeats music in her car, hoping to change her awkward mood.Parking her car in her designated spot, she walked slowly to her front door. Unlocking it, she entered and closed the door behind her with force. Dropping her bag on the couch, she removed her heels and collapsed onto the bed, exhaustion enveloping her like a heavy wet blanket.She lay on the couch for a few minutes before picking up her heels and heading to her room. On her way, she flippe
At Archer's Group of Companies, the cool breeze heightened the tension among the staff as they gossiped about the impending impromptu board meeting involving every shareholder while every senior staff member made their way to the hall for the board meeting.The door to Mr. Damon's office clicked open, and his secretary entered.“Can’t you see I'm busy? What do you want? My schedule is clear for today,” he bellowed, frustrated that she interrupted his conversation with his family while they prepared to attend a relative's wedding party.“I'm sorry, sir. Your schedule isn't clear. You have a board meeting in the next thirty minutes,” she replied politely.“A board meeting?” Mr. Damon raised an eyebrow with a puzzled look.“Yes, sir, a general board meeting requested by Ms. Scarlet, involving all the shareholders of the company,” she explained.Mr. Damon rolled his eyes at the mention of Scarlet. He wasn't ready to deal with her nonchalance, but he wondered what she had up her sleeves to
Harry settled into an empty space with Pietro and Jade standing closely behind him, while Mr. Damon still wore a puzzled expression as he slowly sat down on his chair.“What's the meaning of this?” Diane blurted out angrily on seeing Harry.“What is it, dear?” Scarlet turned to her in a low and polite voice.Scarlet's sarcastic demeanor, even after bringing in Harry, made Diane feel nauseous. She had an urge to tear her apart, starting from her wig to her clothes.Mrs. Freya sat with widened eyes in astonishment at Harry's presence in their company. The sight of him made her cringe; she couldn't bear his confident aura. She remembered him when he exuded only poverty, and now he was clad in a Louis Vuitton suit and Chanel shoes that matched his outfit. She couldn't bring herself to look, her face flushing with embarrassment as she avoided eye contact with him at all means.“Get the hell out of here!” James pushed the chair backwards, his fist clenched as if to attack Harry, but Pietro
Harry stood in front of the staff members, clearing his throat and adjusting his clothes to speak. However, his attention was diverted by the opening of the doors, revealing Martino and Steele making their way into the hall.Mr. Damon had called them due to the vote of no confidence. As they entered, a satisfied smirk appeared on Mr. Damon and his family's faces. Diane shot Scarlet a triumphant glare, heightening Scarlet's nervousness.Scarlet knew they were unprepared for a vote of no confidence, and it seemed impossible, in her opinion, for Harry to secure the votes of Mr. Damon's staff.She turned her gaze to Pietro, who was still standing. "Why did he choose this?" she asked.Pietro smiled. "I think he's onto something.""Keep the manifesto going; you started it, so make sure to finish it, wretched boy!" Mr. Damon remarked, his aides joining in with loud laughter."Fine, if you say so. I was hesitating for a moment because that smile is about to fade out," Harry replied."No, don'
"What's with the smile? Give us the information already!" Mrs. Freya bellowed frustratedly, genuinely tired of the suspense feeling like it was a scene from a movie.Pietro and Bruce raised their heads slowly, everyone's eyes fixed on them, and it felt like the world had stopped when Bruce started."Mr. Harry, you got..." He paused, and almost everyone swallowed a gulp of saliva, waiting for him to complete his sentence."A total of twenty-five votes, and Mr. Damon got a total of five votes. It's a landslide victory for Mr. Harry," he finally announced, and the room erupted in a roar. Harry couldn't help but smile as the hall filled up with murmurs and shouts while Scarlet wore a broad smile as she watched the entire staff cheer for Harry's win.Mr. Damon slouched in his chair, gasping for breath and his eyes fixed on his staff who were joyously celebrating Harry's victory. His heart thumped loudly in his chest as he bowed his head in pure embarrassment, feeling mortified by the scene
