Rise Of The Sole Heir

CHAPTER 6

It was a thing of amazement to realize who the stand-in chairman was. Instead of that great exuding aura of meeting a man as he thought, he met a young, beautiful and elegant looking lady.

Sonia Stark was a young woman of great splendor, she was known throughout the whole Dominican as a renowned business lady, principled and capable in all she did.

No one ever crosses her path without an invitation, she earned all of that respect for herself at a very young age, coupled with all these attributes, she earned herself a promotion as the stand in chairman, second in command that is the vice chairman.

Being a pauper was never an attribute to make your sight fade off, as such Derek could tell when he saw a beauty. Sonia was charming, one of those you could call a little goddess.

She's one of the great factors that has brought about the stability of the Emerald group till date.

On her part, she was equally shocked to see a decent young man come in, all along she had expected to meet at least a man in his thirties, when she got the information that the chairman was back.

She quickly composed herself and greeted. "Welcome, Mr Brook, please come with me."

While they walked, Derek could admit it within him that Sonia was just so exceptional, she had the slim figure, with a dimple revealed from her cheeks which revealed itself each time she spoke.

"Here Mr Brook," she led him into an extravagant office, it was almost as thrice the size of his bedroom.

"Welcome Mr Brook, I'm always at your services, just tell me what you want and I get it done."

Sitting in front of Sonia's desk, Derek said. "First of all, I wouldn't be available at the office all the time, I would prefer you to remain in my place while and please, let my identity be discreet between us."

Sonia was so much aware that people from prominent families like the Brook's tend to stay away from the public, and they prefer the use of a representative in their place to prevent public attraction.

"Mr. Brook, as I said earlier, just tell me whatever you need and whenever, I'm always available to tend to it."

At this point, a knock came on the door from Sonia's secretary. "Miss. Stark, a young man with the name Mr. Walker, is here to see you."

"Tell him I'm unavailable at the moment." Sonia declared.

"Do you know the Walker's?" Derek asked inquisitively.

"Yes, the Walker's have been a very prominent factor of the Emerald group for a long while. They've collaborated in so many projects and all, in the past and till date."

That brought a memory of Brenda's worry, he remembered her telling that was the reason her mum wanted her married to him.

"Halt their ongoing projects with the Emerald, every single project they have should be halted."

It was dawn on Sonia that perhaps someone in the Walker's family had stepped on his toes. "Adding to it, make sure he's kicked out and thoroughly dealt with."

Sonia was shocked but there was little or nothing she could say. The Walker's have perhaps crossed their boundary. She thought to herself.

***

Right at the lobby Wendell was impatiently waiting, the Walker's had always wanted to be the key player in the collaboration with the Emerald group, Wendell had surely hoped he could build a relationship with Sonia and provide a lot of can't and collaboration to the family through that.

However, the unexpected happened to him. Sonia's secretary approached him with two burly guards. "Hi, is Miss Stark available now?"

"Mr Walker, it's decided that the Emerald would no longer have anything to do with losers as the Walker's anymore."

"What! Why?" His jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Wendell felt cold chills go down his spine, he went in a daze while he thought. What could have gone wrong? What does she mean by never having anything to do with the Walker's anymore?

The project with the Emerald group as being one of the major sources of profit for the Walker's, if she puts a halt to it, then the Walker's literally would have nothing to do in the first class level of the society.

"No, that's cruelty," he growled. "I want to see Miss Stark, myself!" He tried walking towards the office, but he got stopped.

"Mr Walker, I'm so sorry but the Emerald group will have nothing to do with you in the future."

"No, that's impossible, we are long term business partners, we aren't newbies to be tossed around like this!" He yelled continuously.

Even at the sight of the burly guards, he still didn't care, he tried proving how powerful the Walker's could be, but he was wrong, the least expected happened.

"Deal with him!" The secretary said and walked past them.

Instantly, one of the burly ken sent to his face a hot slap, which threw him sprawling to the floor, and his nose bleeding.

"I'll report you all to Miss Stark and she definitely will throw you out of this place," he growled again instead of pleading.

Before he knew it, he found himself hit in the stomach by the 5.11 Men’s ATAC 2.0 6″ Tactical Side-Zip Military boots. Wendell winced in pain, he felt blood surge through his veins with the whole of him about to explode.

"Hey, you are just mere security men, I'll make sure I get you all behind bars," he said with the remaining strength within him, as though that wasn't enough.

The burly man got a hold of him, one pinned him to the ground while the other gave him a thorough beating with the aid of his Sam Browne belt.

Assuredly, Wendell wouldn't remain the same after the floggings. 

While this went on, his phone kept ringing repeatedly, it was a call from his father. Information had reached him that their projects with the Emerald group had been cancelled and he was ready to blast his son, to know what he had done.

Same information reached Mrs. Reid, she wanted to cut ties with the Walker's immediately, but looking at it from another angle, the Walker's were still useful so she maintained it.

***

Right at Sonia's office, a call reached them to explain how Wendell was dealt with, on Derek's lips appeared a vicious but satisfactory smirk.

"Good job Sonia, that depicts how good and capable you are, i'd increase your benefit in double from today henceforth."

Sonia gasped in astonishment and said excitedly. "Thank you Mr. Brook."

"As long as you do your duties rightly and perfectly, you deserve the best." He added.

"Thank Mr. Brook, I can't be more grateful."

"Very well then, i'd like you to announce the arrival of a new chairman but keep my identity discreet. Just say Mr. B."

"Noted Mr. Brook." Sonia made use of her noted pad, to record his orders.

"Secondly, make an announcement stating that the Emerald group is willing to invest in building the biggest national theme park in the whole of Dominican, all architectural constructing and designing companies are welcome to bid, a project of three billion dollar."

The Reid's group was solely into Architectural designing, definitely hearing this would interest the greedy Mrs Reid.

"It's time for some twist!" Derek muttered to himself.
