Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: IMPOSSIBLE TASK.
As a pseudo-sales director, one of Lola’s jobs is to attend meetings with the other upper-ranked employees at Styleon Group. Though she was still on probation under the guidance and mentorship of Edmund Porsche, she was required to be there to learn the ropes of how these meetings go, including the topics that are discussed.Lola had been excited to attend this meeting, and she had even stayed up the previous night to study all the important aspects of what will be discussed at the meeting. She had even gone through the company’s archive to get a deeper understanding of things. Right now she felt like she was ready to show her new coworkers that she was worthy of the promotion she got.Once the meeting started, Lola paid close attention to what was discussed, taking necessary notes for her to go over later. She never expected to be asked anything as she was still in training, and yet, Edmund had other plans. He intended to embarrass Lola by showing the other coworkers that she wasn’t
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: MANAGEMENT MEETING.
Edmund glared at Lola. “I expect you to succeed the same way you sealed the $700 million deal this week.” He saw the glare he was getting from the other coworkers. “Guys, C’mon! I’m merely teaching my underling the importance of consistent success. She had done the impossible while being a mere sales manager. Imagine the great things she could accomplish as a sales director! I’m merely equipping her with the best gift a mentor can offer: the chance to climb higher.”Even though some of the members in the meeting didn’t believe Edmund, they really couldn’t say anything against it as the excuse he gave was quite valid.At the end of the meeting, Lola had no choice but to accept the task. She had entered the meeting room feeling excited and optimistic. Unfortunately, she was now leaving the meeting room feeling apprehensive and worried.It was now Friday, the day Miles had ordered that the meeting would be held. All the notable members that were expected to be there were now rushing towa
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: MASKED SHAREHOLDER.
Miles couldn’t help but chuckle as he recalled his interaction with Edmund. It was fun to silently watch as Edmund threatened to use the power of the company’s shareholders to trample him. Miles had not hesitated to encourage the sales director. In reality, he knew he was going to inevitably defeat Edmund Porsche in the most humiliating way possible.Currently, Miles had taken a secret route to his office, where he was now changing out of his casual outfit into an expensive suit. This formal wear was purchased at a price of $700,000; something his opponents would be hesitant to purchase willy-nilly.There was a knock on the office door, and with Miles’s permission, Fisher McCall entered the room with a submissive posture that no one else except Miles had seen.“Mr. Creek, the meeting is ready to receive you now.”Miles turned a glance at the manager. “Good. Is everyone there?”Fisher McCall nodded his head sharply while he kept his gaze down. “Everyone notable is currently waiting for
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: LOLA’S OBSERVATION.
Everyone at the meeting was quite confused as to what exactly was going on. The new shareholder had walked into the meeting with sunglasses and a mask. Even his hair was styled in a way that the frame of his face couldn’t be seen clearly.After the greeting, everyone began feeling awkward but a look from Fisher kept everyone on their best behavior. They shouldn’t gawk at the new shareholder; he might get angry. As for Lola, she was seated further back thanks to Edmund who didn’t want this new shareholder to end up being impressed with her like his coworkers had at the past meeting with the upper ranks. Despite the distance, Lola couldn’t help but feel like the masked shareholder looked quite familiar. After a while, her eyes widened as it suddenly clicked.“Miles?! Could it really be you?!” Lola whispered this under her breath as she knew better than to disrupt the meeting. Her body shook and she squinted her eyes to get a better look. She couldn’t help but internally curse at Edmun
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: ADVICE FROM THE SHAREHOLDER.
Edmund felt happy. He had been looking for a way to humiliate Lola in front of the new shareholder while also making himself look like a diligent mentor and sales director. He believed that he had struck two birds with one stone.Everyone turned their gaze in time to catch the masked shareholder calling Fisher over before he whispered something in his ear. Fisher stiffened as he nodded.Once the whispering between the two was over, everyone wondered what was going on, especially Lola who was certain that she might be thrown out of the meeting.Fisher spoke. “Mr. Edmund, you have disrupted this meeting without permission. You were trying to teach your underling the importance of etiquette at work, and yet, you have committed the same offense in the process. As of now, the shareholder desires that you leave this meeting right now.”Everyone, including Lola, was left in shock. Edmund was humiliated beyond words. With no choice left, he packed up his stuff and exited the meeting room. The
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: BUYING GIFTS.
Lola was on her way back to her office when her phone rang with a birthday ringtone. She quickly retrieved the phone to lower the volume as other employees around that area had been disturbed by it.Lola smiled awkwardly at them. “Sorry, just ignore it.” She checked the notification on her phone and a bright smile lit up her face. “It’s Dad’s birthday already? Woah! Time has flown by.” She walked all the way to her office before dialing her husband’s phone number.As soon as the meeting was over, Miles had returned to his private office with Fisher right behind him. Once they were inside the office, Miles gave the manager a few more instructions which involved overseeing the performance of each department in the company. The step towards elevating the status of Styleon Group Corporation was a big vision, and for that dream to come true, every single employee needed to put in their best. This was why Miles had compensated them with a raise and special additions in the benefits section.
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER FORTY: SHOPPING FOR GIFTS.
Miles had a confused expression on his face. “What’s wrong?”“Kelsey’s dress; where did you buy it from?!” Lola’s face held a shocked gaze as he looked at the dazzling dress that her daughter was wearing. She felt the fabric with her hands which left her in greater shock. This cloth had to be expensive.Lola was about to ask her husband how he had afforded the pay, but then she held her curiosity back as she remembered that Miles was a broke man. The only sensible conclusion that she could come up with is that Miles had purchased this at one of those illegal shops that make cheap versions of expensive clothes, except they make it hard to distinguish.Lola sneered as she believed she had figured out the actual situation. “Miles, please, never buy my daughter this knock-off dress again. It’s embarrassing. I know you’re trying to look like a cool father, but it would only end in humiliation when someone finds out that her clothes are fake. Then what will you do when everyone starts makin
Rise of the Belittled Son-in-Law CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: ANTIQUE SHOP.
When Lola heard these words from her husband, she stared at him with incredulity before she broke out into laughter. “You? Help me? You’re joking, right?”Miles shook his head with a soft smile still on his face. He was aware that Lola was openly mocking him but he played the fool still. “Of course, I believe I can help you with any problem that you have at work.” He stood in front of the woman, which made them pause their walk. “Lola, I’ve been meaning to have this conversation with you for a while now. I wonder why you barely let me in on all your struggles at work. You might be surprised by how much help I can provide.”Lola covered her mouth as she let out a ‘pfft’. “How am I supposed to believe you, Miles? You didn’t even make the cut when you applied for an office job at the company. Your performance must have been so bad that they could only offer you the post of a gatekeeper. Plus, you only got that job because you are married to me.”Miles sighed as he gently patted Lola on t
