LOGIN“Mr Grant, the COO called for this meeting. He believed that as the CEO of this company, Miss Grant isn’t doing her job,” one of the men replied, thinking that since it had gotten to this point, what’s the need of pretending nothing had happened?“Oh? Since she isn’t doing her job, what should be done?” Mr Grant asked as he turned to look at the man seated on his left.Brian Grant felt so embarrassed, he lifted his head, glared at the man who had spoken but didn’t dare look at his father-in-law. He had always been afraid of those people from the old mansion.“He proposed that we vote for him to take over the position, promising us that he will led the company to a higher position,” another replied.“Right. The COO has been doing a great job, he always bring us clients. A lot of projects we currently are working at, its all his handwork.”“Are you sure?” Mr Grant asked, stunning everyone in the room and caused them to exchanged glances.“What do you mean by that?” Brian Grant asked as
Brian Grant grinned when he heard her question. He didn’t bother replying, he just gave her a smile then walked to the seat on the right.“No, seat on the left or far away,” Alaine said before he sat down.He froze and looked at her with a dark gaze. “Alaine, what’s the meaning of this?” he asked coldly.Alaine didn’t reply him, she just turned to her assistant, gave her a nod and the assistant walked to the door and opened it.Mr Grant walked in, startling everyone in the room apart from Alaine.“Y…yo…you,” Brian Grant tried speaking but he had panicked.He could count how long the man had not been to the company. That was the reason he was very sure that he could throw Alaine from the seat without the man knowing but now…His presence spoke everything. His gaze turned from his father-in-law and looked at each one of the directors in the room. How could he not understand what was happening?There was someone who had snitched on their meeting yesterday. That meant that his father-in-l
“You better go get that breakfast before he punishes you,” one of the secretaries remained the one who had come out of the office.She nodded and with trembling legs, she walked away.“I think the CEO knows what he did yesterday. Most of the shareholder are so loyal to the chairman,” the head of secretary said.“Guess today won’t be a peaceful day, huh?” another asked.Just as they were discussing they saw Alaine walking in with her father.“The chairman is here. He hasn’t come to the office for years,” another murmured in shock as they looked at the father- daughter duo.The whole office was in tense. They were all cussing Mr Grant in their heads as they were afraid that they would be implicated. If he lost his position, they would lose their jobs, some had even started crying.“Who is going to report to him?” someone asked.“Why should he? He made the bed let him lie on it later. Remind him? No one should go,” a man at a corner said. All this while, he had been silent, no one expect
The father and daughter discussed what Alaine planned and time passed by.They heard a knock on the door, causing them to exchange glances then look in the direction.“Come in,” Alaine said and her assistant opened the door and walked in“Madam, there is a meeting in the boardroom. They request your presence,” she said.“Okay, we are coming,” Alaine replied, nodded at her father and they stood up.“Are you ready or you want to back down?” Mr Grant asked his daughter causing Alaine frown as she turned to look at her father.“What do you mean?” she asked, how can she back down when those people aren’t thinking of letting her go?“Softening, after all, he is your husband,” Mr Grant asked, causing Alaine roll her eyes.“Soften? Is he softening? Or he wants to leave me without a way out?” Alaine asked.They walked out the room, none of them spoke. Soon, they arrived in front of the boardroom door.Alaine opened the door and found the man seated at the CEO seat. She looked at him coldly the

She sighed as she shook her head, she wondered when her daughter will ever move on. In the past, she had always been worried especially when she saw that she wasn’t dedicated in her work, she even didn’t care about the company but now. A faint smile appeared on her face when she looked at Tracy who was busy walking around the room they were in.With Tracy and seeing how unfavored she was and her husband doting on the imposter, how could she not have a sense of urgency? If she didn’t stand for herself and her daughter, won’t they perish? They wouldn’t even know when they were killed.“Let’s go down. Your nono is waiting for us,” she said causing Tracy turn around and nod her head.“Let’s go see those designs. Cause the colors need to be matching, the tiles, decoration. Oh my, that’s a lot of work,” Tracy said as she pretended to fall down when she thought of the work ahead of her.Mrs Grant flickered her forehead with amusement. “That is a lot of work? What will happen when you start l
The driver frowned as he stared at the latter, who seemed frozen in the middle of the road, displeasure filling him as each second passed; his patience was running out.“Brother, it seemed the little girl is frightened; you really can’t blame her,” the girl in the passenger seat said with a chuckle
“Dad, how can Mom do that to me? Just because I am not her biological daughter? I thought that having brought me up, she has affection for me and loves me,” Eve said as she cried in her father’s arms.Mr Grant sighed helplessly. “You know that I can’t contradict her. Just bear with it at the moment
Everyone was startled and turned to her.“Wife, what’s wrong?” Mr Grant asked with a frown.Alaine didn’t glance at him. Her attention was on Tracy’s hand. Ignoring the stares, she walked towards her daughter. The room was filled with silence; only her soft steps could be heard.Eve looked at her m
“Miss, we have arrived.”Tracy heard someone saying, and she opened her eyes slowly. When she saw that she was in a car, she was stunned.‘What is happening?’ Tracy wondered as her eyes started roaming around.She met the driver’s gaze through the rear-view mirror, stunning her.“Uncle Stephen?” sh
