Team Dissolved
“No, Sir!” Cleo shook her head, frantic and with a slippery tone.“We are good enough for this project. We have been getting ready for it for over six months now. We have carried out all our assignments. Made all our research, and even started making posts about the launch…”Brian scoffed. “That’s sad…” He remarked, smirk intact.“It’s unfortunate that all of that effort would just go to waste. Washed down the drain…”“No!” Lara was the first to exclaim, then Fidel followed shortly after.“You can’t do this, Mr. Regal. If you take another team, that means we would all lose our jobs…”“Exactly!” Brian chuckled, nodding in affirmation.“Now you catch the drift…” He held onto his wry smile, shifting his gaze from one team member to the other.“This team has been dissolved…” He announced, losing his smile.“Pack your things and go home. You all deserve to work in bars, not in a corporate world that deserves people with respect and values…”“No! You can’t do that!” Cleo said, struggling to
No Choice
“So…” Brian folded his arms, staring at the team members with a wry smile.“You were saying…”“Mr. Regal…” Drew cleared his throat, then he took a step forward.There was panic written all over his face, and it seemed to have gripped his legs as well.“We are very sorry. This is clearly a misunderstanding…” His voice was slippery, his lips shaking while he thought about the next words to say.“We didn’t know it was you…” He stuttered, forced to take a deep breath in order to gather momentum.The others nodded in agreement to his words, but none of them could bring themselves to speak.“I promise you, Mr. Regal…” Drew continued, then he forced a smile.“We love and admire your work. We have always wished to have the opportunity. This is a dream come true for all of us…” He chuckled dryly, the apprehension laced in his tone.“I know you are angry that I almost attacked you. But I can assure you that was just a harmless joke. I would never try to attack someone like you…”“He is telling
He Is The CEO
“Not now, Cyril!” Drew growled inwardly, anger still rippling through his veins.“Allow me to beat him up first!”“I wouldn’t do that if I were you…” Cyril advised, his voice still trembling.“What the hell is wrong with you?!” Cleo snapped, particularly worried about her boyfriend’s bruised ego.“Why do you always try to make everything about you?” She seemed to have found a subtle chance to express the fact that she didn’t like Cyril, but the young man didn’t seem to care.“This is not what it looks like, Cleo…” Cyril cleared his throat, then he stepped forward while his two hands were still gripped tightly to his phone.“I think you guys need to see this. It’s very important…” He waited, but no one seemed to be interested.“Hold on, Drew. Look at this…” He approached Drew, then he pushed his phone toward him, turning to Brian with apprehension written all over him.Drew groaned, refusing to grab the phone.“Why do you have to show me this now, Cyril?” “Because it is about to save
Unforeseen Violence
Brian didn’t flinch, nor did he break his silence.He maintained close eye contact with Drew, something that should have given the young man a bit of a concern.But the latter was too arrogant, and that blinded his sense of judgment.“Why are you quiet? Are you scared?” He laughed so hard that the rest of the team joined him.“He is definitely scared of you, Drew!” Cleo stated, taking a few steps forward.“Don’t you see how muscular you are? With just a punch, you can send him sprawling to the ground…” She sniggered, turning to Brian with disdain sparkling in her eyes.“Drew will beat you like a child. You will go running back to your mother’s arms…”“I don’t think his mum is still alive…” Brick remarked, staring at Brian with mockery smeared on his face.“Oh…” Lara scoffed, her eyes on Brian.“Then he will be running back to his father, I guess…” She suggested, taking a deep breath.“But unfortunately…” She paused just to be sure Brian was paying attention.“I don’t think Daddy would
Not Fear
Brian was almost certain he had instilled fear in them, especially with their silence and the concern he saw in their eyes.But he was wrong, and the next few seconds proved it.Cleo was the first to burst into laughter, and the rest followed, starting with Lara.They laughed until they had their fill, grabbing their chests.Brian’s expression dropped instantly, his visage lacking even the tiniest amount of color.“He almost had me until he said he was going to choose another team…” Drew remarked, still basking in amusement.“That was a good joke, Mr. Regal…” He continued with a wry smile on his face.“But you know better than to threaten us. We are the best team you can ever work with, and your father would never agree to take this opportunity away from us. You are not him, and I doubt that you will ever be…”“Seriously?” Lara huffed, folding her arms while she glared at Brian.“We haven’t even started, and you have already begun to threaten to fire us. Is this how you intend to run
Unworthy Heir
“Not at all, Mr. Regal. Why would I even do that?” Patrick was quick to deny what was almost looking like an accusation, especially with the uncertainty crawling inside him.“I don’t know why they have decided to bring disgrace to this company with their disgusting attitudes…” He turned to the team members, his rage still very much palpable.“That’s because he is not who we were expecting to see, Mr. Rostova…” Lara blurted, assuming the role of the team's most active and disgruntled member.“The only reason why we are still standing here…” She continued, rolling her eyes, this time palpably at Brian.“… is because we wouldn’t want to give the wrong impression to his father. That’s all…” She was very bold with her statement, maintaining her twisted expression.Soon, her eyes met Brian's, and she gave him another look that suggested dismissal.“Maybe Mr. Regal here should go back to his City and remain there. He doesn’t need to be here in Lakeville to monitor things. We can be giving hi
