...Webster was in his office. He was finally done rounding up the last project he had in hand as he slammed his laptop shut and shifted the files on his desk. He took his cell phone from his P.A.'s hand and scrolled through his call log. That was when he was informed by his assistant that his son had called but she didn't want to disturb him. He'd waved her off as a smile crept up his face as he listened to the voice message."That's more like it. It's how it should be. I guess his wife did a good job of convincing his stubborn son. If not there was no how his son would have accepted the offer. Not so easily." He said to himself.Webster took his telephone and called on his assistant, telling her her presence was needed in his office. He dropped the telephone afterwards.Instantaneously, the door opened and a young woman came in. The same woman he'd waved off a few minutes ago. She walked majestically towards his desk and stopped with unfinished documents held firmly in her hands.
...Lorenzo was sleeping on his bed, having a nice time when his subconscious heard a knock. He relaxed, rolling over with the pillow held to his chest. The knock came again, this time a little louder. Lorenzo hauled himself up in anger. "Who the hell is that? Who dares interrupt my sleep?" He yelled."It's Ellabelle sir," she said softly.Lorenzo stood on his feet as he went to his closet to withdraw a top. He likes sleeping topless most at time. "Come on in."The door slid open and she entered. She stopped halfway and lowered her head in respect."Good morning sir. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I just wanted to inform you that breakfast is ready. Ma'am is already waiting in the dining for your presence."Lorenzo smiled at the thought that Sophie waiting for him. He turned and gave her a single nod. "You can go. Tell her I'll be there in no time.""Yes, sir." She bowed, turned and walked away.Lorenzo removed his shorts and wrapped the towel around his waist. He walked to the bath
...Lorenzo smirked, crossing his arms, egotistically. "Rise." He said crudely. Deriving great joy in ordering him to his feet. "You're one lucky dude. If it were my old self... I would've fired you right where you stand. But as a changed man. I'll cut you some slack. I just hope you recognize me starting from this point."The security man thanked his stars and stood up, immediately. "Forgive me for my tardiness sir. Your father ordered me to escort you. Please if you'd allow me to lead the way," Ellison said in such a low, sweet tone.Lorenzo forced out a smile from his parted lips, holding up his shoulders as he followed her. They walked past many doors before she finally stopped in front of one unlocked chamber."We're here, young master. They're already waiting inside... If you'd please," she said, holding out the door for him with her head slightly facing the floor.Lorenzo followed her hand, slowly unbuttoning his dinner jacket before yanking off his sunglasses along the way
..."No offence," Webster said and continued his introductions. "Do not get me wrong. Thurlow made more progress in this organization with his connections and popularity. They've contributed to raising this organization to the level it is today. So over to them. I'd love to hear your various opinions. What do you think of my second son?" He asked.Assemblyman Flaghanan laughed at the question as he began clapping to draw everyone's attention. "Mr. Cordero. We do understand some aspects of you wanting to hand over this organization to him and I personally respect that but the real question still remains. Will he be able to do a good job? Is he even competent enough to be given such a respected, heavy title? That's what we should take into consideration before concluding. This isn't something you can just wake up and decide on your own." Flaghanan said his mind, looking away."And that's why you're all here. I didn't want to do this on my own. I want to hear your respective opinions n
. . . "I'm afraid this meeting will be adjourned. But keep in mind you all that this spectacle or whatever you'd call this that just unravelled before us didn't change my decision or the way I see my son. I still choose and will make Lorenzo the chairman of this organization and you should all find a way to live with that. As the majority shareholder that owns more than 50% of this company's outstanding shares... My mind is already made up and I hope you'd all respect that. That would be all for today." He had to find a way to convince his son all over again, he thought, running after him. "That was such a sight." The Assemblyman ridiculed, drawing back his seat as his archenemy Thurlow did the same. They were preparing to leave when the senator called them back, gesturing them to sit back down since he wasn't done. Knowing what they shared they respected him by doing so without much of a delay. Deu cleared his throat. "I'm aware I outdid you guys on your cunning scenes to bring
..."Young man. You simply can't walk out on me when I'm not done talking. Seat your ass back down." He ordered in his power-crazed tone.Lorenzo turned and shot him a cold stare. "You seem to have forgotten. I am a full-grown man and not a small boy whom you can order around and bid to obey all your commands. I can make my own decisions and that's exactly what I'm doing. I refuse to be the head of this organization. My brother will be so glad to have that position... All you have to do is say the word." Webster cut him off with a slam of his fists on the table. "You will listen to me. As your father, I know what's best for all of you. No one else is fit for that title except you. I won't give up on that. I won't give in to you or your power-hungry brother who is highly mischievous and extremely dangerous when he's provoked. How could someone like that possibly lead this firm? Atkins had done a lot of bad...," Knowing he'd spilt enough secrets out in the open, he slammed his lips s
...Deucalion was in his secret room, playing golf to burn some steam. He'd been exasperated ever since the news of the goods worth millions of his sweat and blood had sunk on its way, his thoughts had been all over the place. He'd lost both interest and capital with nothing at all to show for it. To say he was boiling inside would be an understatement since it was way more than furious.The game he thought would help wasn't helping as he yanked out his handkerchief, wiping beads of perspiration off his wrinkled face. He sighed and flung the club. Here has been his secret hangout whenever his head is crowded or if he has a private business to run without his family being aware of it. Except for his three childhood friends; Flaghanan, Thurlow and Webster whom he had worked with for the past fifteen years, no one else was authorized to come into this room.A knock came in shortly."Come on in." Deu offered the person inside in an offhanded manner. He knew who it was without even steal
...Lorenzo woke up early the next day. He was extremely excited, without knowing the reason behind it. He'd slept over it and had concluded that the only person that could possibly snap those pictures without getting caught inside this premises was the slut from last time. No other person could break into his house with this amount of security.His instincts were never wrong even when he was wasted. If he remembered it precisely he'd felt this strange aura around her. Not that it mattered anymore. He should be exasperated for being used in her game of pity but he wasn't. Why would he, when it was apparent the woman was also a victim in the deceptive scheme to ruin him, psychologically and otherwise? His image meant everything to his egotistical self.Scoffing, he shook his head, increasing the song's volume as he wrapped the towel around his waist. He hummed the music, flicking his fingers and moving his head to the rhythm of the hip-hop music.He switched on the shoulder and had
