From Rejected Son in Law to Empire Heir

Chapter 14: The New Boss

 The two and the half hour period which Logan gave them was almost over. Fisher quickly had the company's lawyer draft up a company within the next few minutes. Luckily, these lawyers knew their jobs. 

 Jared rushed back into his office with the contract in hand. It was the last minute. The man was so out of breath and looked haggard. 

 "You were almost late." Logan said under his breath, he looked completely unbothered as he cleaned his nails. He looked at Jared's condition nonchalantly, he looked refreshed and clean thanks to the new clothes which were given to him by the manager. 

 "Apologies, Mr Mitchell. It took a lot of effort to get everything ready for you." Jared said, breathlessly. One could tell that he barely exercised his body. 

 After saying this, he carefully handed over the contract to Logan who patiently went through it. Jared was sweating but he watched with surprise how Logan went through the terminologies of the contract. He was grateful that he did not add anything fishy. If not, it would have been a major problem. 

 Once Logan was done with going through the contract, he took a pen and signed the contract, this was the second time he was signing a contract that day. 

 "Congratulations, Mr Mitchell. You're now the newest and highest shareholder of Synergy Corp." Jared spoke with a forced smile. "Now, about the company's net value..." 

 "Don't worry about that." Logan interjected as he relaxed in the manager's seat. "It's my company after all. I wouldn't let it fall, would I now?" He smiled back at the general manager and took out his phone, texting Alfred. 

 "I want you to reverse Synergy Corp's situation and transfer $30 million to the company. I am now a major shareholder." 

 Alfred's reply came in seconds. "Understood sir. Congratulations on your first project as Astral Corp’s heir." 

 Logan got up from the chair as he adjusted his clothes. "Synergy Corp's network will rise back to its initial value before the end of the day." He left a dumbfounded Jared Fisher in the office.

 A few hours later, he arrived at the hospital and went straight to his daughter's room. 

 "Why did you take so long?" Ava glared at her husband the moment she saw him.

 Logan stood at the door, staring at his wife's face before moving to the bed where his daughter laid. The weak-looking child had a tube down her throat and an oxygen mask on her face. 

 "Didn't you hear the question I asked, Logan?" Ava. "Didn't you just go to submit your letter of resignation? How come you're late?"

 Logan wondered how Ava knew about his resignation since he told her that he was just going to the company.

 Ava noticed the look on Logan's face as she sighed. "My coworkers told me about it but then again, they kept bombarding my phone with calls and messages. I would have known what it was if my phone hadn't died." She said, looking at her phone. She was confused.

 If Ava had picked her call, she would have found out what had happened to her superior, Francis Lee. She would find out that he was humiliated by the general manager and asked to bow to her husband and then she would have also found out that her husband was now the big boss of Synergy Corp.

 Logan sighed as he walked over to his daughter, touching her hair softly and held her hand in his own, looking at her peaceful expression. "How is she?"

 Ava sighed as she looked at her daughter with sadness in her eyes. "They keep saying the same thing. The doctor said that she's okay now till the visiting doctor comes. I really don't know what is keeping him from coming sooner." Ava adjusted the sheet over Mia's body. She gritted her teeth, "I don't know if they are waiting for my daughter to die first before the doctor arrives."

 "Don't say such things. The doctor will be here soon. We've just got to have faith." 

 "How soon will the doctor be here?" Ava sighed as she forced Logan to look at her. "You still haven't answered my question. What took you so long?" She asked.

  "The resignation process took longer than expected. That's why I was away for too long," Logan said, not looking her in the eye. 

 He was frustrated that she couldn't see that he was not in the mood to start answering questions. Not after what happened earlier.
