Chapter 43: Not soon
On the day of my departure, I woke up as early as seven in the morning even though my flight was two o'clock in the afternoon. Reason was because I wanted to address some of my staff before I left.
After preparing for work, I left – leaving Lena behind. She was actually yet to get herself prepared...and since I couldn't wait for her, I left. It wasn't as if she was against that anyways so I had nothing to worry about.
As soon as I arrived at work, the first person to welcome me was the production manager. He was concerned about the increase in the production of our daily papers, from six hundred thousand copies to seven hundred and fifty thousand a day.
Actually, we had increased our production in response to the high demand from people. That's great, right? Well some staff weren't happy about it. They showed concerned about the high increase, saying we might just end up manufacturing things we can't sell.
The production manage

Replacement CEO Chapter 44: Airborne
After addressing some of my staff, I bade them goodbye and left... en route to the airport. Lena, Kelly and Alex were the only ones I allowed to follow me. I never wanted the general public to know I was leaving, you know? In order to avoid creating a scene in the airport. Anyways, my plan of having little or few escorts didn't really help. Those that recognized me as the CEO of DailyExpress came asking for selfies, autographs... I didn't even know when I left the terminal to the washroom. I was so not ready for any kind of disturbance, I disliked it when people point me out in public and start disturbing. Hopefully, the passengers of our flight were summoned and Lena texted me. I came out of the washroom, bade them goodbye and hugged Lena before leaving. She had wanted prolonging our hug but I had to go. When I was finally in the plane, I sent a text message telling her I would call her as soon as our
Replacement CEO Chapter 45: Welcoming
"Son, you should have asked your ex about the debts before taking any action on her. Your present might have forged everything just to end your relationship with your ex, so she could be with you in the end" the old man had continued, "I might not hundred percent correct but I am very sure there is more to what your present told you. Just make sure you are not on the wrong side of the track else, you might end up regretting and by then it would be partially too late..." He continued talking while I listened. Somehow, a part of me believed in what he was saying while the other part of me believed whatever I did was right and that Lena wasn't a backstabber or a betrayer. But wait a minute, why had she not been in touch with Stella ever since everything changed between us? Or had Stella shunned her away? I had mulled over. I kept thinking about what the old man told me until finally, our plane touched down at Vinewood Regional Airport. The old man intr
Replacement CEO Chapter 46: Finally, home
When we arrived home, Mr. Anderson parked the car in the garage. Mom and Elizabeth helped conveyed my luggage into my old room which was looking amazing. It had been cleaned and perfectly set for me. One amazing thing is that I could perceive the fragrance of my favourite perfume, which means someone must have bought the same type and spread it around the room for me. Even though some of my things that I left in the room were no where to be found, I was glad to have their replacements. My bed had been replaced too, same also my bedside tables and closet. My curtains were replaced as well. "Do you like your new room?" Elizabeth had asked, pulling me out of my trance. "New room? This ain't new" I had muttered, walking towards my bed. "Yes but at least it looks new, right mom?" she had turned over to our mom. "Elizabeth please, allow poor Nichol to rest. He's tired, can't you see how exhausted he looks"
Replacement CEO Chapter 47: Breakfast
While in the dining room eating dinner, Mr. Anderson asked if I was going to stay there for long and I told him I would be staying for three days or four. But guess what? As expected, my mom extended the days to six. Elizabeth was happy, and even before we could finish the dinner she had started asking me to go out and stroll around the neighborhood with her. And to also go to the nearby park, as well as the zoo across it. As if that wasn't enough, she was asking for more other things as well. I only nodded my head as though I agreed but deep down I knew some of the things she was asking would not be possible the fact that I would not be having time for all that. A lot had changed ever since I took over my father's company. I used to be very close to her in the past, going places with her and doing a lot of things together but now that I had a lot of responsibility on my shoulders... whatever we did in the past I guess it could not be done n
Replacement CEO Chapter 48: Reunion
Mr. Anderson wanted to take Elizabeth to school but I insisted on doing that. Actually, I had the intention of going around after dropping her at school so I could check on my friends and other fellas. I hoped to also meet Mr. Leon along the way. I watched as Elizabeth hugged our mom, and then Mr. Anderson before biding them goodbye. She was agile, she couldn't even wait for any of them to peck her properly. By the way, it wasn't as if she was late. It was an hour to her lecture, which means there was still time. "Please drive carefully, Nichol" mom had told me. "Sure mom, I will" I had nodded in acknowledgement and then left. Just as Elizabeth and I were finally in the car, I ignited the engine into action and off we went... to her school. It wasn't that far from our neighborhood. As soon as I dropped her off, she bade me goodbye and ran into the school while I watched her with a smile plastered on my face.
Replacement CEO Chapter 49: Selfie
Saturdays used to be resting days for me at Vincity, and that made me got used to oversleeping in the morning and laterally doing nothing during the day. However, returning back to my hometown at Vinewood made me recalled old days when we used to go to the farm on Saturdays. The farm was actually mom's before she handed it over to Mr. Anderson. After breakfast, Elizabeth and I went to our respective rooms to prepare ourselves for the farm while mom and Mr. Anderson went to their room as well. Mom wouldn't be coming, however she needed to get her husband ready. I loved my cowboy outfit so I wore them. I also put on my boot and hat. "Aha!" I had said to myself after staring at my reflection in the mirror for like a minute or so. Then I unplugged my phone from the sucket and slipped it into my right hand-side pocket before leaving my room. Thus I met Elizabeth downstairs, also wearing her cowgirl outfits. She giggled and soon as s
Replacement CEO Chapter 50: Departure
After spending a week in Vinewood, it was finally time for me to return back to Vincity. Mom actually wanted me to spend more time with them but I had told her my company really needs me. By the way, I could bring myself to telling her about Lena due to what Mr. Leon told me. He was actually right about everything he said. I needed to investigate Stella's case myself, I didn't want to continue living blindly with Lena. It might be that Lena played me and it might be that she was telling the truth about Stella. But whatever might possibly be the case, I should investigate the matter. If I found Lena guilty of playing me then I would not only fire her from my company, but also have her arrested. I wouldn't care who her parents were, though I didn't dream or wish for things to escalate to that stage. I mean, I liked Lena and I loved her body a lot. She had good structure, package, and she was good at romance. I wouldn't wish to loose her but I
Replacement CEO Chapter 51: Conversations
Just a day after returning back home, I decided to began investing into Stella's case. What I first had in mind was to go through Lena's phone and check her last conversation with Stella, that's if she did not erase them. If it was erased, I would have no other option but to go for the second plan. But if I was able to see their last conversation, then I might just end up with clues about whatever Lena told me. Their last conversation matters, you know? The second plan was to try and establish connection with Stella, so I could ask her about it myself. But that wouldn't be easy the fact that she had moved on already, and judging from what I heard people saying she was already in love with someone else. You know, some of the staff were partially close to her. She was a good leader to them and they loved her too. Although I believed, no matter the love she had for that person she would never love him the way she loved him and I was very sure it woul
