Chapter 123
The celebration of the relationship was done at Roman's house. Just Roman, Lena, Carlos and Zara. Roman wanted to make a toast to it and welcome Zara to the family officially. The next few days were good, everything followed the smoother path. Well, until a fine morning. A press story broke out from an anonymous source claiming Roman used political connections to secure the infrastructure deal unfairly. The heading was ghastly. “Roman secures infrastructure deals from frolicking rather than bidding.” The story went on to accuse Roman of being in a relationship with Elara, labelling it as the reason he got the job. Photos of him and Elara in the restaurant were also surfacing. The claims that he was cheating on his wife also surfaced and his image was slowly getting tarnished. The story was of major concern. It wasn't just a business story, but a public and moral one. Roman had always been seen as a moral person and this definitely made people question him. Even though the stor

Roman stood up already. He knew his wife was already upset and confused. He had to mitigate before anything else happened. “What are you doing here?” He asked her. “Well, I was heading home when I saw your car.” She replied to him. “This is Elara, babe. A part of the national board of economics and CEO of Mega extents.” He introduced. “Elara, this is my wife, Lena. She's a new member of the board.” “I've seen her a few times this week.” Elara said to Lena with a smile. She recognised Lena very well, but Lena couldn't really place the fingers on her. Since Lena was new, she definitely didn't have all the knowledge about the national economics board. “It's nice to meet you, Lena.” Elara said to her, offering a handshake. Lena was uncomfortable, but had to yield to it. “I was just talking to your husband about the progress of our contract. I have to repeat to the Congress tomorrow and we really needed to sit it out. I hope you don't mind.” She said to Lena. “Not at all.” Lena re

“So, you'll be leaving soon, right?” He asked her. “Your father's case is done and you're finally free.” “I'm thinking of very, very far away.” She replied. “Roman said no matter how far I want to go, he is willing to sponsor. For some reason, I just want to be out of sight and out of mind.” She explained. Carlos felt heartbroken. It was like he got rejected before he could even make the offer. He went absolutely quiet. “Did you want to say something?” She asked him. “No.” He said. “Nothing really. It's nice you're finally going to have a real life of your own.” He commended. She looked at him with a smile. “Thank you.” Carlos faked a smile in response. He was shattered underneath, but he couldn't let her see it. The next couple of minutes were spent with more laughs and talks. The energy shift was obvious. Carlos tried as much as possible to maintain the vibe, but it wasn't natural and it could be seen through. “It's getting late.” Carlos soon said as it approached 10 pm. “Y

Of course the business media never shied away from such news. It wasn't up to two hours before the news of Peter's visit to Roman went public. The deal Roman signed and his 20 percent acquisition of the company was also made public. Holloway was already drowning in alcohol when he saw this news. They enraged him, but the one that pushed him to the wall the most was the last one. Roman had chosen Smith as the proxy. “How is this happening to me?!” He took out his phone and called Roman at once. Roman knew he'd call. He purposely left the phone ringing without answering it. This was his most evil move. He had cost Holloway everything and Holloway was definitely calling to vent his anger and even get some kind of closure. Roman wasn't going to give that closure. Roman made himself unreachable. This would push Holloway to madness faster than even the jail he would head to when confirmation of his affiliations was made to the court. Indeed Roman was slow to act, just like the Elep

Days after the meeting between Roman and his closest circle, investigation results were sent out against Holloway. There were results relating to manipulation software numbers and most importantly, affiliations with Damian. Roman made sure the relationship with Damian didn't concern the whole company, but just Holloway, but the numbers did. It really struck them deep, the board members of Crestfield. They had gotten the official documents from the investigation, but not the one that had to do with Damian. Those, Roman, made sure to send through secret channels to them. They were so shocked when they saw everything. The information was to be made public the next week, so they had to do something about it. An urgent meeting was kept by the board, which Holloway was compelled to attend. “How could you do this to the company?” Holloway asked the board members.“Manipulating the board and having affiliations with Damian? Do you know what that means for the company when it goes public
