Chapter 25 Xavier came home afterwards, he had a long day and all he needed at that moment was a good rest. He parked his car safely in the garage and entered the mansion. He was surprised to see his parents in the living room staring at him as he entered, they looked like they were in the middle of a serious discussion before he arrived. He acknowledged them and proceeded towards the staircase hoping silently they would ignore his presence. "Where have you been, Xavier? You were not at the office" A cold voice asked from behind. Xavier halted in his steps. He knew too well who the voice belonged to, he turned around "I was out father" He did not think telling his parents about his every whereabouts was an appropriate thing to do at his age. "Why did you drop by at the office?" Ever since his dad handed the company over to him, he never visited the company again so this came as a shock. "Nothing, just wanted to see how it has been all these years or can't I?" His father thought
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold immediately, the employees at De Vil's Enterprises could feel it even from a mile away. What just happened?Everyone's eyes traveled towards the entrance at once. The big boss was here but that wasn't even the problem, he walked with an air of authority and ignored anyone who greeted him, he wasn't smiling. Everyone feared the worst. They have only ever seen him like this five years ago and those times weren't funny.Everyone watched his movements as he took long strides towards the marketing department and shut the door hard. They heaved a sigh of relief, at least he wasn't coming for them.Murmurs soon filled the room, each person speculating what must have gone wrong to make their boss mad."I bet they didn't handle their job well….they are being paid the highest anyway…."No, I think they leak
Xavier was still troubled by the matter, the main culprit hasn't made an appearance yet, he was starting to doubt if his plan would actually work out or not. The company lost a lot of money, if this is revealed to the public, the De Vil Entreprises won't be trusted anymore, the remaining shareholders will withdraw their own shares in fear of it getting stolen and the company will go down the drain. If he doesn't find out who was actually behind this, all what his father and he had worked hard for to build the company and make it flourish will be in vain. He can't let that happen.A knock on his door distracted him from his thoughts. He was currently at the office, he came in earlier than usual."Come in", he looked towards Amber's seat and wondered why she hasn't arrived yet. Hector opened the door slightly, he didn't want to overstep his boundaries especially when his boss was bound to get mad at any mistake so he stayed by the door and delivered his message."Sir, one of the company
Xavier raised his brow at her,"You do?". Amber smiled and nodded," Yes sir". She was really confident her plan was going to work. Xavier hummed," Let's hear it then". Amber faced him and began demonstrating with her hands, she felt like she was in a criminal case and they were attempting to capture the criminal, a silly thought but she didn't care. "Okay so they basically used a recording against you right?" Xavier nodded."Why don't we switch it up a little bit and use their sly method on them" Xavier got a hint on where she was headed. "So, in simple terms I'll get Mr herewith to admit that he actually was the main person behind this and capture his voice in a recording without him suspecting a thing".Amber nodded, " Exactly so you find a time to meet him make sure no one is around, then act like you know he was behind this all along and force him to admit and given his personality he would love to rub it in your face and admit to it and probably tell you there's nothing you can do
Mr Rogers also intended to tell him that they shouldn't just jump into conclusions as Xander hadn't provided any proof to justify the claims of Mr herewith but his line got disconnected pretty fast, he tried calling Dante back a few more times but his calls didn't go through. What went wrong?Dante on the other hand couldn't believe his ears, he had toiled days and nights throughout his youthful days to make sure the company was a success and didn't flop. As he advanced in age he decided to hand the company over to his son because he trusted in Xavier's potential at that time. Hence why he couldn't believe what Mr Rogers told him."What happened?" Nicole asked, she had been trying to get Dante to speak to her for the past few minutes but he plainly ignored her. Dante finally noticed her and yelled, "Your son has done the worst! A million dollars is missing from the company Nicole, that's more than all the company
He sincerely hope his mum will give up the idea of getting him together with Charlotte. He only sees her as a friend. Now that he was standing fully in front of her, Charlotte took the time to take in his appearance. He grew a few inches since she last saw him, his jet black hair was messy in a way, his tan skin standing out, with muscles bulging out, he looked way too hot in the sweatpant and shirt. Charlotte have always had a crush on Xavier but she didn't reveal it because she was scared of getting rejected. Like him, she also had her pride anyways. When he got engaged five years ago, she was furious, she thought he would end the relationship with his ex just like he has always done but she was shocked on hearing about the news about his engagement instead of his breakup. Thankfully, it didn't push through and she still had a chance now. Her mum informed her about Xavier not being married yet after all these years, then she knew she could not let this opportunity slip by her. Now
Xavier was surprised to see Amber barge into his office and the look on her face showed she wasn't pleased, she must've overheard Charlotte. Charlotte words were cut off by the sudden intrusion, she wondered who dare to enter Xavier's office without knocking first. She turned towards the door to see a young lady dressed cooperative. "And you are?" Amber couldn't believe her ears, this woman sure thinks she owns this place. Here she was thinking she would be getting an apology, not like she was expecting one anyway. Amber cleared her throat,"I'm Mr Xavier's Personal secretary, the one you were complaining about earlier". Charlotte paused and looked at Amber up and down, so this was the smart secretary that got Xavier smiling unknowingly, she wasn't that bad but Charlotte was sure she beat her in beauty and modesty. She looked at Amber and said,"Well, you should know the rules, what if Xavier had an emergency meeting or a pending call and you aren't there to deliver, what would then be
Just when Amber thought Xavier wouldn't ask her anymore questions, he continued,"Do you have a boyfriend?". Amber almost choked,"What sir?" Xavier thought she didn't hear him the first time,"Do YOU have a boyfriend?" He repeated emphasizing on the YOU part. Amber shook her head repeatedly,"No sir I don't". Xavier nodded satisfied with her answer."What about you sir?" Amber asked back. She didn't even know what made her ask that. Xavier stared at her,"No I don't" he said. Amber raised a brow. He doesn't? "I actually thought you and Miss Charlotte were together" Amber didn't know why but she wanted him to say No."No, we are not, she's just a friend that's all" This was not the first time he was hearing this, so many people speculated he was dating Charlotte.If Charlotte wasn't even dating him, why would she have to act the way she did in the morning. Amber thought Charlotte must have a crush on Xavier, either Xavi
