LOGINALEXAMark was too full of himself, and I told myself that I felt relieved to be rid of him. Matty Farm had more potential than Mr. Gregory, and since he also had something to gain, he wouldn’t pull out easily, and he wouldn’t also use this against the company in the future.Mark might think he was smart, but he wasn’t even thinking about the future and weighing other options. Plus, we had already established lies with Mr. Gregory and Mr. Porshia, and one way or another, they were going to find out.What happens then?“If he was really as great as my dad worships, why can’t he fix his own company?” I asked myself, trying to prevent myself from getting upset.I had the contract now. I had fired Mark. And so, there wasn’t any reason to feel upset about anything.Right?I went back to my business and continued the work for the day, but I still couldn’t stop thinking about Mark and the altercation I had with him in his office. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t stop thinking abo
MARK“You couldn’t convince her otherwise?” Mr. Silver asked me.“You know that Alexa can be stubborn sometimes,” I said with exasperation. “And she was right,” I added.“Right about what?” Mr. Silver asked.He was both angry and disappointed, but he knew that no matter what, he couldn’t hold the blame against me. “She is the new owner of the company, and she has every right to be in possession of the contract, and to make whatever decision she likes,” I tried to explain to Mr. Silver.“Alexa is living in the dark!” He barked with exasperation.“I know that, Mr. Silver,” I responded wistfully.“We must do something really fast,” Mr. Silver hurriedly said, and he went right on to talking even before I could say a word. “I don’t think she is going to give him the contract to sign until tomorrow. We still have some hours to talk her out of it,” he added desperately.“As much as I understand your plight, Mr. Silver, and as much as I would have loved to help, I can’t,” I said, shaking my
MARKI couldn’t believe Alexa!Here I was, thinking that somehow, she had come to her senses, and that was the reason she had come, but I realized the moment the demand came out of her mouth that I was wrong.“Can I have them?” She asked when I didn’t respond immediately.“What do you want them for?” I asked her.Anger flashed in her eyes immediately.“What do I want them for?” She asked, her voice laced with rage. “This is my company, Mark Ronaldo, and yet, you have the temerity to ask me that?” She questioned further.“Alexa,” I called, rising to my feet, but she was way past reasoning now as her anger had taken the front wheel.“Do I have anything regarding your company in my possession?” Alexa asked me fiercely.“Alexa,” I called again, but she wouldn’t even let me utter the next words.“Tell me, Mark Ronaldo!” She demanded.Then she broke into a bitter, short laughter.“Oh, don’t bother. I almost forgot that my dad gave you the reigns of the company, which is why you feel this en
ALEXAI was a little pissed off that the contract was left in Mark’s care and no one bothered to inform me about it. It just wasn’t right.It was supposed to be in the company, and even if it was to be in anyone’s possession, it should have been in mine and no one else’s. Mark didn’t own the company, and yet, he was in possession of something as crucial as that.However, before Matty Farm left, I assured him that he would get the contract the next day so that he could sign and that we could commence working together.“Alexa,” my dad said as I stood up to leave, and I knew that he wanted to continue objecting.“Dad, for the very first time, I need you to have some faith in me,” I said deeply, hoping that he would honor that.“It is not you I don’t trust, Alexa,” he said. “It is Donald, of whom this man came through,” he added.I almost rolled my eyes at him.I knew that he would have something against Donald, and this was mainly because of his loyalty to Mark Ronaldo. I would never und
ALEXAAs soon as I made that declaration, I didn’t even wait for my dad to say another word before ushering Matty Farm back into the boardroom.“If this isn’t convenient, I could leave and take what I have somewhere else,” Matty Farm said with the deepest modesty I had ever encountered.“It’s fine, Matty Farm,” I responded.“What about the young man who left angrily? Isn’t he a part of this?” He asked worriedly.“He is not,” I answered. “This is my company, Matty,” I told him.“Okay, but I really like to do things in the right way, and when it comes to business, I don’t want any problems,” he said.He had to be the first man who considered the feelings of others in business, unlike Mark who kept saying that my emotions were only getting in the way of things.Matty Farm had made me realize that all Mark had been doing was just to take control. He acted like he really cared, meanwhile, all he wanted was to be in charge while I followed every of his lead, even though the company now belo
ALEXAHow dared Mark walk out just like that? Wasn’t he the one who always accused me of using emotions when it came to business?“We should go ahead,” I stated with annoyance.Mark was being too full of himself and I was pissed off. This wasn’t his company, and not only his suggestions was welcome.“Gentleman, could you give my daughter and me a moment?” My dad requested calmly, looking at Matty Farm.I rolled my eyes; I should have known that no matter what, he would take Mark’s side.“Of course,” Matty Farm said without hesitation.Then he got up and exited the boardroom gracefully.I had known Matty Farm for just a couple of hours since Donald introduced him to me and convinced me that his investment would be good and profitable, and I could say for a fact that the man had an amazing personality.He presented facts, and even showed me everything he had achieved over the last couple of years without pride or arrogance. He knew exactly what he was going for, and he did not force him
