Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

Chapter 13

Getting to the corporation, all departments heads were waiting outside to receive their new President and also to show him that they are not slacking behind.

             Coming down from the limousine, two rows of ten bodyguards were waiting to protect and escort him into the company.

             Eric was overwhelmed by the respect given to him by these people and the amount of authority he carries which makes them reference him.

The people were surprised on how young and handsome, the new president is, because all branches of the Storm Corporation all over America has heard the rumour about the change of power from the old Mr Storm to his newly found grandson. 

            They all thought it was just a joke made by the higher-ups to scare them but seeing him in blood and flesh makes them to believe but they are skeptical whether he would be capable of leading the Storm Corporation well, because he looks like someone picked up from the suburbs.

        Under the atonishing eyes of everyone present,  He was led into the exclusive elevator of the president of the company to take him to the upmost floor where the office of the president is.

          Reaching the upmost floor, he was accompanied by Mr Brown where he asked to meet with the team that compiled the collaboration contract.

         The team was head by Mr Brown himself, the team assembled in the boardroom; the collaboration contract was reviewed.

         The public relations team of the Anderson company was contact for a meeting so as to sign the new contract and also to meet the new president.

         The meeting was set up. Eric and other left for the Andersons at about a quarter after 5pm. 

Everyone at the Anderson company was at alert because they heard the new boss of the Storm Corporation would be visiting their company to sign a collaboration.

           They all wanted to see what he looked, and when Eric stepped out of his car; they are all in awe in of how young and handsome the new boss is.

They were ushered into their boardroom, they were encouraged and astounished at how the team was well coordinated the team is under the leadership of Eric and they impressed with the contract was formulated which is favor of both parties.

It was to the knowledge of everyone that the reviewing of the collaboration was Eric's idea which improved his respect in the mind of everyone.

The proceedings of the collaboration signing took about an hour and both parties bid each other fare well. Through out the period of everything was happening was no call from Scarlett to even check upon him, to know where he was.

He was lodged in one of the five stars hotel around the company area where he was given an exclusive ensuite.

On getting to the room, the first he did was to take a shower to wash off the sweat and dirt on him. He ordered room service to bring his dinner.

It was during this time of waiting for his dinner, his grandfather call came in; asking him how the meeting went and what was the response of the other company.

He explained how he and the team was received with open hands and how the signing went peacefully and how they reached am agreement.

He went on telling his grandfather how capable the team was, coming up with another contract entirely and how fantastic it is.

Mr Storm laughed gently and said " yes my company is made up of capable people and high intellectual strength and also the collaboration was successful because they were led by a responsible and visionary leader"

Eric smiled and said "It was because I took the lessons of Mr Harkinson the expert you got to tutor me and paid attention to the class"

Carlos replied him saying, "It was possible because you were born a leader. "

Eric sighed and said "thanks gramps for believing in me even when I had been to any college because you can just hand over to anyone to direct and lead"

Carlos said "I can't do when my blood is alive and picking well and my dead daughter spirit won't be at peace at me if I do that. I'm just sorry for leaving you out to suffer all these years that it's the only regret I have now"

Gramps don't talk like that, Eric said; you already brought me out of the gutter, clothed me, fed me and gave a huge inheritance to me. What more do I desire after all these, I'm grateful.

It's a blessing to me that you have already forgive me, my son yeah it's already in the past now, let's focus on the future said Carlos .

Eric answered "Yes let's focus on the future and I'm sure it's bright. How about the men I asked to keep an eye on my stupid wife and mother any report from them

"There is no much, it has been quiet no problem at all" Carlos said. 

"But I must tell Eric about what Susan his wife mother was heard saying when Maki asked of his father because he has not seen him since he has been back from school that it would be better if he does not come back home, if would have been better if he was kidnapped and killed, and his smelling body dumped somewhere so that he can leave their lives alone and let them live in peace without him hanging around their necks" Carlos thought because he does not want Eric to feel heartbroken and depressed

"So Dad you meant my absence was not felt at all" Eric asked. 

"Forget about them my son and focus on what you went to London, " Carlos answered. 

"Dad, does she even love me? Eric asked heartbroken. 

Carlos was at cross roads at how to answer him and he was saved by the ringing of the room on the arrival of Eric dinner by the Hotel's kitchen and he quickly answered Eric "Son make sure you feed well and focus on what you went to London to do. Good night" without waiting for his response he disconnected the line.

On the other side, Carlos breathed a sigh of release, because he was also disheartened when he heard the trembling voice of Eric when he asked the question "Does she even loves me"

Eric opened the door for the waiter who pushed in the trolley bearing all the dishes, seeing how many the dishes, he almost blurted out are all these for me.
