Surprise Reveal

Logan retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialed Mr Danvers's number, much to Owen's chagrin. 

He was a little agitated by Logan's demeanor and confidence. That he'd actually dare to pretend to call the CEO. However, Logan did not say anything further after Owen had agreed to the bet.

Logan stared at Owen while waiting for the call to be answered and said flatly, "I suggest you start packing up your desk Mr Ferrell", 

"And I hope you enjoy prison" Owen taunted, laughed and then turned away. Even if by some miracle Logan had the CEO's number, there was no way Mr Danvers was going to leave his business and come down on a call from a man who wasn't worth a minute of his time.

At this moment Logan's call was answered

"Hello, who is this?" A heavy male voice came from the other end. Logan had not exchanged contacts with his grandfather's subordinate yet, so Jensen was not aware of who was speaking at the time.

Logan shifted his gaze towards Owen and saw the doubtful look on his face. He obviously believed at this point that Logan was just trying to stir some fear in him and waste his time.

"This is Logan, Mr Danvers. I'm now at the company, be here with security in three minutes" Logan said sharply

Upon hearing this, Jensen immediately said hurriedly "Yes Young Master, I'll be there soon, I'm just at the entrance of the building. Please wait a moment, I'll be right away" he said.

"Ha-ha, congratulations, you've successfully been able to fool yourself. Do you really expect us to believe that is the CEO? I wonder which fool you have included in your pathetic scheme.",

The board director chuckled as he listened to Logan's conversation and smiled indignantly, "It's such a shame we'll have to fire you now. 

You are so good at tooting your own horn, with these acting skills, you probably would've earned a job spinning signs outside the company if you didn't come in here and throw a fit" the man said 

"Do you know who Mr Danvers is? Even the most prestigious people I know, dare not be so pompous when talking to him. 

Do we really look like fools to you, that you think you can pretend to make a phone call and we'd believe you? I'll give you credit for the act, but you're just so transparent", he said glaring at Logan disdainfully 

Logan remained frozen in place, glanced at his watch and then slowly turned to the Director and said "In two minutes you'll know if I'm fooling you" 

In truth, no one knew who Mr Danvers was, what he looked like or sounded like. Logan knew that even when they overheard his conversation, they wouldn't believe that he was indeed speaking to the CEO of the company. He also knew to use a pompous tone to further conceal his act.

Speaking politely would've created room for doubt in their minds. They were right in fact, he was a great actor after all.

There was only one way they'd believe Mr Danvers was truly who he said he was when he showed up - The diamond-encrusted seal.

Parker’s Inc. was one of the many companies Logan's grandfather Neil Smith owned. As such he had found a way to identify his companies by trademarking one logo throughout. The CEOs of each company were given a seal.

This seal was a badge of honor which Neil Smith handed to each of his CEOs on appointment. It was a symbol of an Eagle enclosed in a circle with the family name, Smith, boldly printed on it.

Not only was this seal a badge of honor, but whoever possessed it had access to all the exclusive places in the world by just showing the seal. 

Logan had no doubt that once Mr Danvers showed Owen and the board members the seal, they'd know he was exactly who he said he was.

The board director exchanged gazes with Owen and then laughed contemptuously, mocking Logan 

"Okay, Mr All Powerful. We'll wait for two minutes, no no, let's make it five. If Mr Danvers does not show himself in five minutes, I'll let Owen do with you as he pleases, probably let the guards get in a good beating before the cops show up and drag you to jail."

"No wonder your wife left you, you are just so full of shit. Tell me do you hate yourself for being this way? You must, I don't reckon it's easy to live a pretentious life with a prestige complex. 

You know, I was beginning to feel a little sorry for you. It's not easy losing your wife, but now I see Mel did herself a favor finding a real man", Donald, the company's accountant mocked.

A minute later, a middle-aged man in a top-fashion Italian suit rushed through the door frantically.

Although his panic was also an act, it was understandable. Logan was now his boss and learning that his workers were stealing from his company infuriated him. Jensen did not want to do something to further enrage him.

Owen was about to bash Logan with another insult when he saw the middle-aged man barge in and Francine bowing her head in respect. Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, stunned.

Who exactly was this man? He wondered. Logan followed their stunned and puzzled gaze and was satisfied by their reaction.

He marched towards Mr Danvers and said, "Looks like you'll be clearing out your desk after all" he said with a cocky smile on his face.

"Bullshit! I must commend you for the lengths you'll take this to Logan. Hiring another pretence actor, stealing a suit for him to wear so that he'll look like someone of importance. You are incredible!" Owen bellowed in astonishment, then walked up to Logan and patted his face gently 

"Sadly, this is the end of your little charade", he said coldly and walked back towards his chair to call security 

"You're still convinced I'm telling lies Mr Ferrell?" Logan called and Owen froze in place.

Logan marched forward, crossing his arms behind his back and started talking "Are you familiar with the Smith family seal Mr Ferrell?" He asked, to no response, although the look on Owen's face was enough answer.

"You know that whoever has that seal is one of the CEOs of the Smiths company, right?" He asked again, and Owen shot him a questioning look.

At that time, Logan stopped again at the window, looking out, then turned slightly to face Jensen and said "Go on, show it to them"

Immediately, Jensen marched towards the table and slammed the seal in front of Owen and said "Allow me to properly introduce myself, I am Jensen Danvers, the CEO of this company"

Owen gazed at the seal in front of him and his eyes opened widely, as if he had been struck by lighting. He reached and carried the card, his body trembling in fear and disbelief, 

He flipped the seal over and saw Jensen's name boldly printed on the back with Neil Smith's initials and was instantly filled with horror

Slowly, he strode to Logan and then slumped at his feet,

"Ho-how is this possible?"
