The Powerful Dustin Rodriguez

Crashing the party.

The next day, Dustin was invited to a party to celebrate the launch of a new business from Laura's company. She didn't invite him of course, but Alara had been invited.

"An invitation from the Winston group, sir. She has been sending emails nonstop that we showed up." Alara had said to him.

"Then let's attend," he said.

Before heading to the venue, Dustin made sure he had prepared a lovely tuxedo with a fine Italian shoe. He didn't care if he overdressed. Then, his haircut was styled into something decent and classic.

Dustin, being a tall handsome man, was now looking like a rich man already.

Meanwhile, Laura was very anxious. She greeted a few of her guests but knew that if the event didn't go as planned, she wouldn't have the upper hand in making it to the list of companies that will partner with Matyrs motors!

And although Tobin had promised her money and power, she still would like it if the CEO of Matyrs motors showed up.

"You seem worried, my love. What is it?" Tobin asked her.

Laura had chosen a green floral dress that swept the floor in elegance. Her hair was styled to a neat bun and she had makeup on. But there was still worry on her face.

"I just wish that a representative from Matyrs motors can show up. That's it." She said to him.

"But baby I'm here. I'm the CEO of conrad motors. You know what? Let me make a few calls right now." Tobin said proudly.

Laura was glad for him in her life. "Thank you so much!"

She welcomed a few other guests, until a man walked up to the stage to make an announcement.

"Hello everyone? Guess what? We have prestigious people in the house, everyone. Let us welcome miss Alara, vice president of the Matyrs motors!" The man said, and people were already clapping in excitement.

"Yes! You did it, Tobin." Laura said as she kissed Tobin.

Tobin, who had not even made any calls, smiled. He looked shocked to see Alara there!

But he pretended like it was his connection that brought her. "Of course love. Anything for you!"

"But she's not coming alone. She's actually here with none other than, the great CEO of Matyrs motors! Mr. Rodriguez!" the man announced.

Laura frowned. Tobin gulped in, wondering what the CEO was doing there! The crowd roared in excitement and mostly curiosity.

Just then, Alara walked in, as well as Dustin beside her! People were stunned. Even Laura nearly fainted.

"What? This young man is the CEO??" someone said.

"Impossible, he's so young!" exclaimed another.

People began to talk, completely shocked by the scene.

With a smirk on his face, Dustin stopped and nodded to Alara. She alone went up on stage.

"Hello everyone. I have an announcement to make. It is a pity the CEO will not be attending today. But he sent his regards through this young man over there." Alara said.

The crowd seemed to relax.

"Of course there's no way he's the CEO!" Tobin said laughing to himself.

"Also, Mr. Tobin Conrad, you have been warned. If you don't stop and apologize to Mr. Rodriguez soon, you will meet your demise. He said to tell you this." Alara added. "Good night."

"What!" Tobin was furious. "This foolish boy is testing my patience!" He said to Laura.

"Dustin, how did you even come here? Who let you in!" Laura demanded.

"Does it matter?" He replied.

"Just shut up. Let's send him out right now!" Tobin said.

"I wouldn't if I were you." Alara said. "You'll be making the biggest mistake of your life."

"Ha! What's he possibly going to do?" Tobin said.

"It's either you're so dumb or your so stupid. You're both, actually. This is Alara standing here, and you're still talking with disrespect." Dustin said.

Laura realized he was right. "I'm so sorry miss Laura. Apologize, Tobin." She said.

"Right. But I still have more power over her. I know this CEO person too! So don't panic much, love. And you miss Alara, you can leave now." Tobin bragged.

Dustin knew he was so arrogant because his father has a soft spot for him. But now, he is the CEO! It's no longer his father!

"Come here stupid." Dustin said to Tobin. "Let's make a deal here. I will send you out of Matyrs motors by Monday. And you, you won't ever be partners with us. Unless if you're lucky and I'm in a good mood in the future to come." He said.

Laura scoffed. "Okay Dustin. Stop getting all delusional. Stop the act of pretending you're rich! Bianca told me what happened to her. It's obvious you're faking these acts of being rich, but stop now!"

"Lady, you were his wife. Now, you're a lowly woman so watch the way you speak with him." Alara warned.

Laura hated how Alara was all over Dustin. Did she like him or what?

"No love. He's right. I haven't had fun in a long time. Let's make this deal, you fool. I'll send you away from your cleaning job by Monday. I'll make sure you don't even get any job here in New York!" Tobin said.

"Great then. You will come and kneel before me, Tobin. I promise you that. And you, Laura, you'll regret treating me like this." Dustin said. "Come on Alara, let's go."

Suddenly, seeing Dustin all bold and confident made her want him again. She always adored powerful men.

Tobin was literally fuming now. He picked up his phone and made a phone call. "I need you to do something about that pathetic worker of yours, Dustin!"
