Though none of the securities know that, Lucas is the son of Derick and now the new CEO. But as soon as they notice the man behind him, who is James, their thoughts change.

James is the only person who can be seen around Derick, and because of this, James is well-respected by all. Though part of the reason the security got frozen was because James Hiddenly gestured his hands, which is a direct order to them to drive Clara out of the building. 

The security guard grabbed Clara by the hand and began dragging her to the exit door. 

“Let go of me, you bastard, I swear I will make sure you all lose your jobs, how dare you drag someone like me, who is high in financial status? My money can feed your entire family, even your generation. Get off me.” 

Clara kept ranting like a dog while being dragged. 

But just then, Jordan stepped into the scene and pushed the security guard who was dragging Clara. “Are you stupid? Did you know who she is?”

The securities gently bowed their heads, and one among them spoke. “But sir, you were the one who passed those direct orders; you told us the new CEO would be here today and we should keep everything security tidy, which means preventing any visitors from coming.” 

“Yes, I know I passed those orders, but that doesn't mean you should harass her, and besides, did you see the CEO anywhere close? I don't think he will ever come. It's more than an hour now, and he is still not here,” Jordan barked back at them. 

“But sir, she slapped one of us; that's why we have no option.” 

“Shut your filthy mouth and get back to work,” Jordan bluntly instructed. 

Clara scoffed, shoving her hair pridefully to the side. “Jordan, this man needs to be fired for harassing me in such a manner.” 

Clara and Jordan walked forward, and just before they could passed Lucas, who was standing just observing what was happening. Clara suddenly stopped at his front, then shifted her gaze to Lucas. 

“Jordan, shouldn't this man be chased out of the building? His presence disgusts me.” 

Jordan then turned and looked at Lucas from head to toe. “Yeah, truly, the man disgusts me as well.” 

He then raised his hands and gestured for the security to drive Lucas out of the building. Though Jordan didn't notice who was beside Lucas, if he had known, he wouldn't have made such a decision. 

After passing the orders, Jordan turned and left with Clara to his office, where he was to attend to her and sign the documents. 

Soon, Lucas arrived at the meeting room of the Golden Hue Organization. And just as the billionaire businessmen saw him, they stood from their seats and bowed to Lucas, even though they didn't know who he was yet. All they knew currently was that the new CEO, son of Derick Storm, would arrive today. 

There were about ten businessmen, though they looked tired because they had been waiting for more than an hour for the arrival of the CEO. 

Lucas gently sat on the chair meant for the CEO while the other men sat at opposite angles, and a long table made of shimmering gold lay in the middle. 

“Sorry for taking much of your time,” Lucas gently apologised. 

“Is he really the son of Derick Storm? But we heard Derick never once had a son.” 

Lucas could hear the murmurs from the businessmen sitting at both angles. Meanwhile, James was standing strong at his back, his dark sunglasses adding to his figure, creating a strong security aura around Lucas. 

“Shall we begin with the main purposes of why we are all here?” Lucas smiled.  

“Yes, sir, sure, but it would be better if your manager were here,” one of the billionaire's businessmen suggested. 

“No, we wouldn't be needing him here anymore,” Lucas boldly replied.

Earlier, due to how Jordan spoke to Lucas, Lucas demanded that he be fired, and James put it into action immediately. 

“---” 

Jordan was in his office, Clara seated on his lap, while she rubbed his chest softly. 

“You know I have always loved you; even when we broke up in college, I couldn't find myself to stop loving you, neither move on,” Jordan foolishly said, acting so desperate. 

Clara laughed. “Yeah, I figured you would say that. I'm always yours, only if you keep doing as I ask.” 

Clara was only using Jordan to get what she wanted. Making him sign documents that will allow her to get more money from the organization to keep pouring into her companies, and all this had been going on for some time now. 

James grinned, almost looking like a total fool. “Yes, of course, I will keep doing as you wish, as long as I keep getting this body of yours.” 

James lifted his hand to grab Clara's breast, but just then the door pushed open. And one of the workers stepped into the room, her breathing unsettled. “Sir, the CEO is already in the meeting room.” 

As she said this, Jordan stood abruptly. “When did he arrive? Wow, I have to get to the meeting room at this instant.” 

Derick hastened his steps forward, but the worker voice sounded again. “One more thing, sir. The CEO requested that I give you this letter.” 

She handed the letter to Jordan, carved inside an envelope. 

Jordan collects the latter; he pulls it out from the envelope, and just by seeing the content on it, he flinches, his eyes widening in disbelief. 

“No, this can't be possible; I can't be fired,” Derick panicked, then shifted his gaze to the worker. “Who the hell gave this to you, or are you trying to pull a prank on me? Because I swear it wouldn't be funny; I will make sure you see hell.”

  • Plan To Be Done

    Billy chuckled, then sighed before standing up, he stared at Lucas and smiled before speaking. “I have done my part, now I want to leave. I have things to do.”The truck driver stared at both Lucas and Billy, he then bent down and grabbed the wine bottle on the table before gulping all the content down his throat.“Give me a few seconds, let me go get my jacket on..” the truck driver spoke desperately while flipping the fifteen thousand dollars he was holding in his hands, then walked like a triumphant king to his bedroom.After he was gone, Lucas stared at Billy, and Billy smiled. “I have no use here again, but at least I helped.”“Sorry for making things worse for you...” Lucas sighed with a slight shake of his head.Lucas had figured out since before now that he was the reason the man had no choice than to park out of the city, he had figured that the man was scared, and because of that the only choice left for him was to exit the city to a more safer place, Lucas must accept that

  • An Offer For Words

    The man chuckled with a slight grunt, then continued speaking. “I was seated on my truck when a man walked up to me with an offer, he told me that if I can give him my truck, he will lend me five hundred dollars, I was startled for such an offer, my truck worth more than that amount, but in the next seconds, he pulled out a gun and pointed it to my head.”Lucas stared at the man as he explained, there’s nothing special in his explanations, if the unknown man who had approached him on the truck pointed a gun at his head, that means there’s nothing more he can know about the man except from what the man just said.The man then gently lifted the glass cup beside him filled with wine before sipping it down his throat.“Is that all you got?” Lucas suddenly asked.The man had figured that Lucas would ask, he casually sneered before replying. “No that’s not all, and besides I can’t just let someone who had put a gun into my head go free, without knowing who he is?”After the gun was pointed

  • Telling All You Know

    After the word from Billy rang out, Lucas hastened his step and got into the room. The old truck driver offered them a seat, thereafter he brought a bottle of wine and poured it into the two glass cups on the table, then sat at the other free seat, situated at the middle of the table, where Lucas and Billy were seated.He took a deep breath, then let out a gust of air from his lungs before asking, “So what holds me this visit?”Lucas leaned forward to speak, but Billy interrupted. “We are here to strike a deal.”Lucas snapped a bit, staring at Billy, confused. He wanted to tell the man what was the reason he had come to see him, but the sudden interruption was just so absurd that Lucas didn’t see it coming.At this point, Lucas had thought that the man must have something in mind, probably using him to strike a deal or something worse.After this thought ran through Lucas’s mind, he immediately fixed himself into an alert mood to react to any negative energy focused towards him.Billy

  • Truck Driver

    Billy squinted his eyes as he gazed at the picture, and at some point, he stood still, startled if he knew who the man in the picture was, and after a minute of gazing down at the picture, a light of realization suddenly burst into Billy’s mind about who the man was.He gazed up at Lucas. “Why are you looking for him? Hope you aren’t putting me in more problems?”Billy wanted to make sure he confirmed before telling Lucas any information about the man. At this point, Billy doesn’t want to put himself in a situation where he will be the path of so many people’s death.Lucas sighed. “I just want to ask him something. I think the man who had entered the truck before he went out should be the killer of my daughter.”“And then what else you want to do? Blame the old man, that he is the killer? He didn’t do anything wrong. The killer used his truck and committed the crime, nothing else.” Billy cut in with his voice, making Lucas pause a bit.Lucas became pale at some point but immediately s

  • Staying Safe

    The rage piling up inside Lucas at the moment was just so tense that he felt like blasting out. Every moment he thinks of the death of Amanda being orchestrated, he felt like his heart was burning, and with that he keeps reminding himself of how brutal he will be to whoever was involved in her death. It might be a coincidence, but even with that, he wants to know who the truck driver was, the exact person who had committed the crime.The next day, Lucas’ sweat dripped with anxiety. He had nothing in his mind less than to figure out who was the person behind Amanda’s death. If he could get the face of the person who had rode the truck, then he could at least know what to do next. A person can’t just do such a thing out of mere coincidence, not after seeing the footage that clearly shows that he had stolen the man’s truck just to commit the crime.Lucas stood in front of the restaurant he had visited a few days ago, but something was off this time. The restaurant wasn’t supposed to be c

  • Digging Deep

    One of the main reasons the old man had decided to help Lucas was because he had suspected him to be the almighty Dominance King, which is the son of Derick Storm, and he had suspected that any good he did to him now, the son of Derick Storm would always pay back the good.Additionally, the man didn’t just do what he did without a backup plan. He had decided to end his restaurant and relocate to another place. He had that in mind for a long time, but now he had wished to put it into action. Though the man didn’t mention any of this to Lucas, he wanted everything to play out in a silent way no one would know about.Lucas turned to the old man. He gently bowed before speaking. “I really appreciate all you have done, and I will as well reward you.”Lucas meant his words. For the man to risk his own life and the life of his daughter just to lend out information that he wasn’t supposed to was something Lucas wasn’t expecting.After the man heard what Lucas said, he gently turned and left.
