2023-10-19 17:37:17"He's no longer the CEO. A new one was appointed today and according to my research, it said that he's the long-lost heir of the Hugh family, Sir."
"I see. Did he mention any other reason for the meeting apart from my funding?" He asked pacing around the sitting room. Carla sat but had a worried look on her face because of the way Dawson was reacting to the call.
"No Sir, just that Sir."
"When's the meeting?"
"It's tomorrow morning Sir."
"Ok Marla, what's the fucking time! I can't just walk to Hugh's office tomorrow morning without a particular time, now can I?" He was getting angry at his assistant.
"I'm so sorry Sir but I was unable to get that before he ended the call. I tried calling back and no answer came."
He fumed and yelled at her over the phone."You are such an incompetent fool, Marla! Sometimes, I wonder why I still keep you around because you fail at your job every fucking day!. You mess up the simplest of tasks!"
Carla's curiosity had overridden her at this point that she stood up and paced about with Dawson trying to know what was happening.
"I'm so sorry Sir. I swear it wasn't my fault. The call ended right…!
She was caught short in her sentence by Dawson. "Shut your filthy mouth! Such an idiotic little girl. It's never your fault." He sucked his teeth and ended the call. In a fit of anger, he threw the phone at the couch and it bounced right back to the floor.
"What the hell Dawson! What is going on?!" Carla yelled at him seeing his behavior.
"Hugh conglomerate's new president is asking for a meeting concerning my funding." He sighed and sank himself back on the couch.
"So, what if they ask for a meeting? I mean, maybe the new president just wants to meet the company he's funding. You just have to calm down okay? I understand you being mad at your simpleton of an assistant but I'm sure it's nothing." Carla said to Dawson fondling his hair and trying to soothe him.
"Yeah, you're right, I'm sure it's nothing," Dawson replied.
"Eh, babe, hope this won't disrupt our dinner plans tonight?" She fondled the collar of his shirt sexually. "Because I have this perfect dress that I planned on wearing," She said, smiling and gesturing to her body.
Dawson looked at her with scorn and just took his car keys and left, leaving her all by herself.

Next Day; 10 AM
Alexander was already at the office because he had requested a meeting with the entire staff of the company. He needed to know who his staff were and the kind of jobs they did for the company. Basically, he just wanted to get to know them.
During the meeting, his temporary secretary came into the conference hall to tell him that Dawson was still waiting for the meeting with him.
See, Dawson had come quite early in the morning because he did not know the particular meeting time. "Better early than late," He said before he left for it. But on getting to the company building, he was made to wait.
Alexander deliberately told the receptionist at the lobby to keep him waiting until he was ready for him. Alexander just wanted to waste Dawson's time.
Alex checked his wristwatch as soon as the Secretary said that. "How long has he been waiting?"
"It's been more than two hours Sir. Should I place the meeting right after this one?" She asked.
"No. Let him wait some more." He smiled at her. The secretary left.
It was now noon, four hours from the time Dawson came for the meeting with the new CEO. One could hear Dawson's breathing steam out of anger.
"What sort of nonsense is this!? Why schedule a meeting when you know fully well that you won't be available? I'm a businessman and I don't tolerate this kind of rubbish!" He was fuming at the receptionist.
Just then, the VP; Mr. Luis, walked in. "Mr. Dawson, I think it would be best if you calm your nerves. This is a business building and we don't tolerate such behavior even from the likes of you. The CEO is a busy man and will attend to you once he's ready"
Alex walked in on them as Mr. Luis was still talking with Dawson. Dawson saw Alex. He was so surprised that his eyes widened but then he began chuckling softly. Mr. Luis was confused as to what was amusing him.
"What are you doing here? Whose clothes did you steal? Did you come here to find a cleaning job to save your miserable life? I'm sure that's why you stole these clothes to impress them, right?" Dawson asked Alex,still laughing at him.

Mr. Frank Cason narrowed his eyes and dropped the bottle of whiskey he had earlier opened without pouring himself a cup anymore. "And what gave you the impression they were shady? Huh?." He drawled. "I have warned you several times to stay out of my business, I married you from your wretched family, haven't I done enough already by marrying your ass" He scoffed harshly, picked up the whole bottle of whiskey, and took sips directly from it.His wife's spirit was already low coming into the office, but his words brought her lower. "I only said that because they scared me when they arrived unannounced. If you have such people coming in, at least inform me to better prepare for receiving them" Her voice broke at intervals as she spoke."Hahaha!...Haha." He laughed hoarsely. "You? inform you?"He looked at her and shook his head scornfully. "You must be in deja vu land to think I have to notify you before I receive people in my own house." His tone changed from condescending to fierce. "Wh

Immediately Alexander said that Mr. Graham grabbed the phone from his hand and inspected it to ascertain who the caller was but the number had been disconnected. He handed the phone to Lucas. “Take this to the tech team, the culprit will be out before you know it,” He said, handing the phone to his son.“No!” Reverberated Alexander. “That won't be necessary,” Alexander suddenly said, grabbing the phone, and surprising everyone.“Why don't you want the culprit apprehended,” Aunt Eleanor snorted and scoffed, shocked at him. “I kept mute when you decided to keep the truth of who roughed you up that led to you ending up in the hospital, this is beginning to piss me off” His Aunt spoke angrily. “She’s right Alexander, you can't keep bottling everything up, clearly, it's evident someone is adamant about hurting you, and who knows it might be…” Lucas was cut off by Alex's frustrated grunts. “Just stop! What makes you think it’s whoever landed me in the hospital.” He pinched the bridge of h

Mr. Jacob handed him a load of files containing dissimilarities during the short time Mr. Cason was the CEO. He was right, even if he weren’t returning, the files would go a long way in fighting a case for Alexander. The files were much needed by Alexander. He got into his car and drove straight to the office. Upon arrival, the office was filled with uproar upon his arrival with the staff having different opinions as to what was happening. Alexander was fazed with visible creases on his forehead. “Why is there uproar in my office when work is supposed to be ongoing? What the hell is the meaning of this pandemonium?” His voice is commanding and reverberating throughout the whole floor.His eyes were red hot, piercing into the souls of the whole staff. They kept mute upon hearing the authoritative tone. They hid their faces, bowing their heads avoiding Alexander's fierce gaze. Alexander stepped right to his office and matched right into his office lobby to meet his aunt and Lucas wait

"I need your help in finding a private detective." Lucas furrowed his face in shock. "Is this because of what we discussed in the car? Trust me Mr. Cason might be brutal but he isn't capable of anything other than empty threats." Alexander was indifferent to what Lucas said. "Just find me one"Lucas sighed heavily and just shook his head. He knew there was no point arguing. He wondered what Alexander needed with a private investigator. He knew he needed to talk with his dad.****The drive to the former secretary's house was serene and warm. Alexander had forwarded the details of the journey to his driver. He left early because the man lived in the countryside away from the buzzing city.The whole city's media has been buzzing on the knowledge of the lost son of Hugh. Alexander hissed as he perused his phone. Every tabloid had his pictures on their front pages carrying both false and true news about him.He sighed heavily and tossed the phone to the leather chair of the luxurious ca

She was flabbergasted at the sight of what was shown on TV. A boy she thought was nothing is now the most powerful man in the city. She was lost for some minutes until she recollected, picked up her jaw, and closed her mouth.She brushed her sweatshirt, grabbed the remote from her son, and put the TV off.She abruptly turned to her daughter. "It doesn't matter what he is and the power he has now. We did nothing to him, and he's still the same useless boy in my eyes" "Mom! You're joking, right? We did everything inhumanly possible to him. We ridiculed and don't forget, I rendered his company to the ground." Carla had beads of tears formed in her eyes. She suddenly felt remorseful for everything she did to Alexander.Her mom looked at her with disgust because of the tears she saw. "Better suck those tears back in because I don't see anything wrong in whatever we did. Besides, the business is booming more than ever and we still have Dawson's funds." Her mom said. She was nonchalant and

Carla's best friend Marie, was surprised that her date was bowing to Alexander. She was livid with him even though she had just seen Alexander on the TV a few seconds ago. She still believed that it was a lie or a ploy to get her precious friend Carla back."Why in the world would you bow to this commoner and call him Sir? He's not a God. He's just a useless person who couldn't give what his fiance wanted in life…" Marie's words trailed off because the man she came with snapped at her.He dragged her by her hand closer to himself. "You're gonna get me in trouble, Marie. That's my new boss. Remember that deal I have been telling you about that would pay for your vacation and your new house? It's all in his hands. Please I'm begging you, don't ruin this for me with your blabbermouth."
