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.”

  • The Hazel Of Presence

    Last week, Clara had used almost fifty percent of the company's income to order some goods for her company that would increase the production power, but it turned out to be a scam. Part of the reason she had needed the documents to be signed by Jordan was that she needed the money; she wanted to recover the money she had lost. Clara breathes into the air before tilting her head backwards, her gaze facing Abigail. “I don't know what I will do anymore.” Abigail scoffed. “Of course, you know what you can do. Your fiancé, the son of Thomas, said he knew the CEO very well, right? Then he could meet the CEO on your behalf to get the documents signed.”Abigail's suggestion was brilliant to Clara. It was how she thought about it. Clara slightly rose from the sofa on which she was lying. “Abigail, you are a genius; I didn't know you were so intelligent. I have been thinking you are a dumbass.” “Hey, what's that for?” Abigail raised a brow. “If I were a dumbass, I wouldn't have come up with

  • Company Funding

    The meeting went well, and after it ended, everyone stood to leave, but one of the billionaire businessmen remained. He walked toward Lucas and slightly bowed his head. “It's nice seeing you, sir, the only son of Derick; it's a miracle.” Though Lucas doesn't know who was speaking. The man looked the same age as Derick. “Please, who are you?” Lucas asked softly. Though he had received pleasantries from other businesswomen who were exiting the meeting room, the man's words before him sounded different and seemed as if he had known him better than ever. “Ooh, I apologize for not introducing myself properly,” the man chuckled, with a short grin before continuing. “My name is Thomas, the sworn owner of the mystics company. I know your father pretty much; may his soul rest in peace.”Nathan stood silent, trying to process both names, and soon the realization came running into his head. The mystic company is owned by Thomas, the father of Orion, the man whom Clara had claimed to be marri

  • Probably A Cleaner

    After saying this, Jordan ran like a madman out of his office to the meeting room where the billionaire businessmen were having conversation with the CEO. But on reaching the door, Jordan was immediately stopped at the entrance. “Sorry, sir, but we can't let you in. This order is given directly from the CEO himself.” The security guards at the door bluntly refused.“Let me in, you bastard. Did you forget I am the manager of this company? I will get you guys fired after this.” Jordan struggled to get in but was pushed back. “Sorry, sir, but the orders can't be neglected, and we have to stick to the CEO's words,” one of the security replied, the one at the left. “Are you trying to fool me here? I'm the manager of this company, the Golden Hue, to be specific, appointed by Derick Storm, the CEO. How on earth will you refuse my entrance to the meeting room, you two silly fools?” The two guards shook their heads before the other one replied. “If the current CEO had passed these direct

  • Money And Gold

    Lucas sighed deeply, then shifted his gaze to James. “No, James, my main focus is not with them. I can't let the sins of Clara affect those who are innocent, but if that's necessary, then I have no choice. But for now, my focus is on Clara.” Some moments later, they arrive at Derick Storm's private mansion. James treated the injuries Lucas sustained from the previous attack. Thereafter, he showed him other things his father had, things that Lucas never expected. “These are the papers, young master Lucas. Your father owns the Maltino Five Stars Hotel, the jet engine manufacturing company named the Sky Age, the Superno Wine Manufacturing Company, and a lot more. You can see them in the papers.”Lucas was dumbfounded as he stared at the possession his father owned. He didn't know that his father would have so much; the thing James showed him earlier was just a small part of his possessions. “This is impressive; I didn't know he had many other possessions,” Lucas mumbled.James chuckle

  • Lying To Be Spread

    Though part of the reason Clara was so rude and wicked toward Lucas was because of her mother's influence on her. Though Clara hadn't told Jessica that she had divorced Lucas. “Mum, about the divorce, I already did that some weeks ago, and the useless man has no ties to me anymore,” Cara sneered. “Wow, that's excellent news. Why didn't you tell me sooner? I would have hosted a banquet. That's what useless men like him deserve. I can't believe he was so careless that he let my granddaughter die. She was sick, and he decided to use the money given to him for gambling, failing to take his daughter to the hospital or buy her drugs. I swear you are evil, and the only thing left for you is to rot in hell.”Lucas was shocked after hearing this. Clara didn't tell them the truth about what had happened; she had lied to her mother that Amanda had died from a sickness while she was busy with work. She even claimed that she gave Lucas a lot of money to take her to the hospital, but he chose to
