Charles Walker's Undeniable Throne

Chapter 06

Charles woke up at 5.00 am, did his routine morning chores for his in-laws, and prepared breakfast for everyone in the house.

He told Olivia that he was going to see Mr Rambo. Meanwhile, this was an excuse he used to leave the house for London in order to complete the procedures for Shell's takeover.

Mr Tyler had given him the vice chairman's contact after pre-informing her that he would be coming today.

On his arrival at Shell, he met Don Albert who just drove in and was parking his Lamborghini car at Shell's parking lot.

He wanted to avoid him but Don Albert caught him with his fast paced movement and calls.

“Hey Mr Walker, what are you doing here” asked Don Albert with a mocking tone.

“What does it look like to you that I'm doing here?”

“Does this place look to you like where you will come in at will? So kindly give a response to my question. Otherwise, I will call security on you outrightly.”

“I am here to apply for a job, if you must know.”

Don Albert sneered in disdain and said, “we don't have a vacancy for you here, loser! There's no cleaning job vacancy here for that's what suits you and of course, that's what you have been doing for the Marcus in Wales district where you live a pauper leeching off their granddaughter.”

“Don't worry about me Albert. I'm not applying for cleaning positions here, so be yourself and mind your business.”

“Look at this loser telling me to mind myself,” Don Albert growled angrily. “I will show you now what it means to minding my business at Shell PLC where I'm the procurement manager.”

“Oh! You're just an ordinary procurement manager? With your acts, I was even thinking that maybe, you're CEO. Never knew you are just a low key staff member who will be fired today and thrown outside like garbage. So, get lost!”

Don Albert was stunned at his words and was filled with rage.

He didn't understand why the loser looked down on him and wanted to teach him a lesson outrightly.

He stepped forward, blocked and positioned to slap him but before his hand could land on his body, Charles had seen him and dodged it swiftly, retaliating immediately after pushing him by the side.

“Smart!”

Charles' open hand landed on his face causing stars to rush out from his eyes. The ripple effect of that slap was Don Albert's inability to see for the next ten minutes. He grimaced in pain and his face showed swollen red.

“How dare you lay your filthy hands on me, you little piece of trash! Don Albert muttered while gasping in horror. He wanted to call security but didn't have much strength to raise his voice so he could be as all security were at their duty post.

“You will cease being the procurement manager as you will be fired today. Let's who is a loser here,” said Charles before walking towards the building ignoring his incessant screaming.

When Charles reached the building basement, he took the elevator and went straight to the top floor where the Chairman's office is located.

Tyler had already made all the arrangements for him at Shell PLC and had also pre-informed the person in charge of the arrangements that he will be at the company today.

The person in charge of the arrangement was a woman named Lindel Brooks.

Lindel Brooks was a young and charming lady in her late twenties. She joined Shell when she was just twenty-three years old and had earned her reputation as a renowned successful business woman in London under a short period of work with Shell due to her business acumen that were incomprehensible to some poor minds. She had been promoted to vice-chairman of the Shell PLC at her young age because of her capabilities and competency.

A virtue that drives Shell PLC to top in London when it comes to business today. A force behind Shell's success story she was.

Now that Shell PLC had been acquired by Emperor Walker's family, the former chairman had abdicated the office and Lindel stayed back to assist the new chairman.

Lindel was quite shocked when she first saw Charles. She didn't expect to see such a young and charming man when Tyler told her about him.

He was exhuming royalty even though he was not properly dressed. The clothes he had worn was a kind of rumpled cloth capable of making him look low keyed but Lindel saw his true identity which was Royalty.

No wonder, it's said that royalty and wealth can't be hidden even when you wear rags to hide yourself as those who know what royalty is will still discover you. Those people are legends in diamond discovery and also in telling people's fate.

Such was one of the virtues Lindel Brooks got.

She quickly recomposed herself and greeted him respectively. “Welcome, Mr. Walker. Please follow me to my office.”
