Benjamin’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at the file placed in front of him.A few seconds later, he slowly reached out for it and opened it in order to read its content“What is this?..... Am I seeing this correctly?” Benjamin exclaimed in a loud voice as he was flustered when he saw the sum the contract was worth.On the other hand, Eric impatiently came to the conclusion that Eva must have screwed the negotiation up judging by Benjamin's reaction. He hurriedly took that as an opportunity to slander her.“I knew that you would mess this task up. You just had to take this lowlife along with your Pegasus enterprise and disgrace our family.”“Shut that blabbering mouth of yours, Eric.” Benjamin's roaring voice echoed loudly in the room bringing everyone into aa stupor. He raised his gaze to look at Eva. “Three billion dollars…..is this real?” he asked in a slow and gentle tone.At this point, everyone in the room was slightly confused and curious to find out what the three billion
Chris had been standing next to the car, parked a short distance away from the Pegasus Enterprise building for about thirty minutes, waiting for Eva's return. Soon, he caught sight of her walking out of the building with a dazed expression on her face. Meanwhile, Eva was still puzzled about the scene that occurred during her meeting with Elliot. She found it unbelievable that in her hands was the contract of a project worth three billion dollars.“Are you alright?....How did it go?” Chris asked her in a concerned tone as he pretended as if he didn't know the results yet.Eva stared at Chris' face for several seconds. It was almost certain that she would have accepted this task if it hadn't been for the fact that he urged her to do so in the first place. As a result, she couldn't help but wonder if Chris had already known the result would be like this and that was why he consistently encouraged her. However, these thoughts wavered from Eva’s mind as she observed the unsettled expre
As soon as Eva walked unside the spacious lobby of the Pegasus Enterprise building, she saw a long line of individuals in tacky official outfits who were obviously representative from other families and companies that were here for the same reasons as hers.This scene intimidated her but she sighed deeply and walked towards the receptionist counter.“Hello,” she greeted one of the female receptionist with the brightest smile she could muster despite her nervousness. “My name is Evangeline Carter. I'm here as representative of Cross Corporation to seek audience with the CEO.” she remarked, stating the purpose of her visit to the receptionist.The receptionist eyes widened and a welcoming smile instantly appeared on her face. Prior Eva’s arrival, Eliott had already briefed the employees about her and instructed them to treat Eva as a top priority guest which he was expecting.“Welcome to Pegasus Enterprise, Miss. Carter.” The receptionist greeted in a polite manner.“Give me a moment to
After leaving the bedroom, Chris stepped out of the house for a moment. He picked out his cell phone and dialed up a number which soon connected after a few rings.“Hello, Mr White. I apologize for not calling you first but I was busy trying to put things in order after our take over of Pegasus Enterprise.” A masculine voice spoke in a respectful tone This person was none other than Elliot Brown, the new CEO of Pegasus Enterprise. Even though the Brown family was a vassal family of the Whites, they were still very influential and only a few households could contend with them in terms of both power and wealth. As a member of the Brown family and being the CEO of Pegasus Enterprise, Elliot was in a position where many top class elite individuals were respectable and looked up to him. Therefore, these individuals would have been in awe if they witnessed this scenario. It would be a huge shock to know that such a reputable individual as Elliot was acting in such a conceding manner to
After the meeting had been concluded, everyone soon began leaving the carter villa.On the drive back home, Kate began throwing her usual tantrum inside the car. “Eva, have you lost your mind? Why did you accept to take on the task to get the collaboration with Pegasus enterprise? Are you so gullible that you would allow this jinx to manipulate you.” she ranted agitatedly from the back seat, fixing her gaze on Eva who was driving the car. Chris, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, next to Eva turned around to look at kate. “Mom, you have nothing to worry about. I'm sure that Eva has the capability to successfully accomplish this assignment.” he remarked in an assuring tone.“Shut your mouth! I wasn’t speaking to you and this doesn't concern you. Besides, it's clearly your fault that we are in this mess right now. Eva wouldn't have accepted to take charge of such an assignment if you had not pushed her to do so.” Kate snapped, glaring contemptuously at Chris.“We are go
Several bulging lines appeared on Ben's face as soon as he heard Chris' request which sounded very ridiculous. Occupying the seat of vice chairman meant he had chosen to make Eva the family's next heir. “What nonsense are you spouting?" It’s obvious that the company makes the decisions. Do you think you’re in the place to make such a request? I think you’ve been getting more out of hand lately.” “You are the head of the company and this family, Grandpa. Don't you think it's worth making the person who has the ability to win such a high profitable project the vice chairman of the company?" Chris retorted, not backing down easily from this conversation. “Will you allow Eva to take charge if she is able to make Pegasus Enterprise to cooperate with the Carter family?” He asked. “No, Grandpa. This is just a dubious scheme so don't fall for it.” Eric suddenly voiced out in a shaky voice as he was afraid that his chances of being the next helmsman were slowly slipping away from him. He in
“What are you saying, Eric?....You can't just push such a difficult task to me. Besides, i'm just a lowly salesperson in the company so my job description doesn't match this assignment.'' Eva was completely astounded that Eric was making her take responsibility for an assignment that everyone was literally avoiding. She had an inkling idea that Eric was making up a sinister plot; “Congratulations! You've just been promoted to project manager.” Eric said, smiling in satisfaction. “You can't just do that. There are still a lot of procedures that need to be carried out before I can take over that position." Eva rebuked strongly. “I just did. I'm the general manager of the company so it's within my authorization to give you a promotion,” Eric boldly remarked as he was not willing to allow Eva to work her way out of this situation. “I sense that you are being hesitant to carry out this assignment. You are the eldest among the third generation so you should at least be a fillal daughter
The next day, the news was that a mysterious billionaire had bought ninety percent shares of Pegasus Enterprise which was the largest business organization that was established in Brooklyn. Unknown to the public, the ones supporting Pegasus Enterprise were the White Family but they secretly hid this fact from the public because they didn't want to expose the fact that there was a member of the white family currently staying in Brooklyn. If such rumors spread, it would undoubtedly expose Chris' whereabouts to the other members of the White family and this was a situation that needed to be avoided. It was the first time both Chris and his father agreed on something. As the largest as well as most successful business in Brooklyn, Pegasus Enterprise had a market price of one hundred and fifty billion dollars. Although there were many influential families in Brooklyn, only a few could be compared to the Pegasus Enterprise. As a result, many began to wonder about the identity of the bi
It was evening by the time Chris returned back to the small colonial house he lived in with Eva and her parents included. This place was where he lived but was not so homey because the atmosphere was always engulfed with tension. Since neither of Eva’s parents have liked him very much. As soon as Chris walked into the living room he was greeted with the loud raging voice of Kate, his mother-in-law “You idiots. How dare you have the guts to come to this place, huh? Do you realize the unfavorable predicament you pushed this family into just because you had to offend the patriarch? "Leave now because you are not welcome in this house." Kate and Bruce were unable to attend the family new year gathering because Ben had a doctor's appointment to treat Ben’s paralyzed leg.However, the relatives who were present at the party had already given them a call and told them about the ruckus that Chris had caused at the party. They both confirmed the validity of this news when Eva returned back
