Chapter 157
As he addressed the executive, Adolphus felt so bold. A boldness he didn't know he had.He discussed briefly with them and surprisingly, they were corporating and the conversation was flowing well.Only those two men opposed him in a few circumstances. The men who had earlier questioned his capability.Adolphus replied politely to everyone who asked him a question. All he needed was their corporation and they promised to give it to him. He also needed to do a great job in order to earn their trust.Less than an hour later, the meeting was finished and Adolphus went to start his job as the CEO. His father's office was handed over to him while Nicolas took over a different office as the Chairman of McAllen corporation.He had no intention of relaxing and leaving all the work for Adolphus.His job was not yet done, especially as Adolphus was still a newbie.Inside the luxury office that had become his own, Adolphus took in a deep sigh and went to sit on the swivel chair, his bright face

The sudden announcement left everyone in a state of bewilderment and they began to whisper amongst themselves again.The news was a shocking one as Nicolas had never shown any sign of replacing himself.He was still active as the CEO and Chairman and did his work well.Was he retiring already?As if he read their minds, Nicolas quickly answered the questions in their mind.“I'm not yet retiring. I'm simply stepping aside for him to take the mantle of leadership. The earlier he learns how to manage the McAllen empire, the better for me, for us." At that moment, Nicolas sounded like someone who was speaking gibberish. The executives could not comprehend anything he was saying.Who was he referring to as the one taking up the mantle of leadership?"Mr. McAllen. You're still beating about the bush. Who's this person you're referring to? Why not go ahead and introduce him already.” One person stated and Nicolas nodded his head in agreement."Of course.” He muttered, turning to Kincaid and

"I don't work for you, Mrs. McAllen, so you don't have the right to fire me. The only one with that right is Mr. Nicolas McAllen.” Bradley replied back without fear, leaving her extremely furious.He wasn't someone to cower before Ursula's intimidating and threatening words. He just respected her as the boss's wife. Bradley knew his worth and was certain that Nicolas would never fire him because his wife asked him to do so.“The boss asked me to bring his son to the office today. That's what I'm doing. So if you have any problems with that, just confront your husband instead of stopping me from doing my job." “Ah!" “What!" The guards exclaimed when they heard those words, their eyes widened and immediately darted towards Adolphus who had been silent all along.The one who was just called the boss's son.They had a lot of questions in their hearts but didn't utter a word. They only kept gaping at each other with questioning glances and with their mouths open."Guards, take him away f

Bradley smiled at Adolphus in understanding. He was right. That young lady obviously would not approach him if he wasn't dressed in fine clothes."Well, young master. I'm sure you know what you're doing.” The man muttered, and Adolphus chuckled lightly."Of course, Bradley. I know what I'm doing, and I'll never let some kind of people close to me, people who'd only tag along because of what they stand to benefit.”"Yeah.”The drive to McAllen corporation took almost an hour before they finally arrived, parking at the company's garage.Seeing their car, the security hurried over to greet them.Bradley was well known at the place since he used to be Nicolas's right-hand man. However, he suddenly stopped going to the office with Nicolas and was replaced by Kincaid.Many people noticed the change but never had the nerve to approach Nicolas and ask him what happened to Bradley.But then, here he was all of a sudden, and the security was left confused, even though he didn't show it.The sec

“I'm getting ready, Dad. Although I'm a little nervous and terrified." Adolphus confessed, taking a sip from his coffee.He heard a small laughter escape his father's lips before the man muttered. "You should be terrified because taking over the McAllen empire is no joke.”"There's a lot of work that needs to be done. And remember, you're only allowed to grow it better than it already is. Your job is to expand it and not to run it down." Adolphus felt a lump in his throat as he listened to his father's words. It wasn't helpful at all.Those words were proof that his father expected better from him.He wouldn't just bear the McAllen name in mere words. He had to prove it by working harder to make the McAllen empire greater than it already is.“Ok, Dad." Adolphus managed to mutter, placing his cup back on the table.He didn't know what else to say to his father. All he knew was that he'd do his best.There was silence between both of them, and Adolphus thought that his father had hung

Abigail didn't utter a word. In fact, she had no intention of wearing that dress for prom in the first place.It was Adolphus who convinced her to wear it since it's already hers. Moreover, the secret admirer did not even show up before her. How was she supposed to know the person if he was not bold enough to approach her?After a moment of silence, Abigail replied back to her father. "The person didn't even show up before me. What am I supposed to do when this so-called secret admirer does not have the nerve to approach me.”"Moreover, the dress is a gift which was meant to be worn.”Abigail didn't know when she said those last statements and wished she didn't voice it out.It got her father more enraged, and her mother furiously hurried up to her, almost slapping her on the face."What did you just say? How could you be this foolish, Abigail? You went out with that Adolphus boy wearing such a beautiful dress a nice young man gave to you.”"You should have waited to see who he was a
