MATTEO
It was the first shareholders meeting after 1 had demanded for my shares.
Early this morning while I was getting set to go to work, I saw an email, where I was invited to the meeting
A slow unile appeared on my face, he considered it after all.
Sending a message to my 1% and my best friend, Fredrick, informing him of the new development
He sent a little dance sticker showing he was happy that whatever plans I had were one step on its way.
Walking into the company building. Thave memories of how I started from this place…
How I grew here and thought this place was all in all for me.
When I was accused of something I had no idea about
It was a memory that I didn’t want to focus on the only thing in my card right now was the freedom of finally getting exactly what I wanted.
“Good morning, Mr. Manco Rodriguez, welcome to Lilac,”
The excitement on the face of the receptionist as I walked inside, she was here when I was still around, and knowing that she still had her work was enough to be happy.
Of course, she left her post as she pointed straight to the elevator, bowing as I walked away.
There was a lot to the gesture this morning, and not only her, but the rest of the staff who
o knew me
me couldn’t hide their excitement as I walked in.
Getting to the floor where the meeting was held, I reminded myself that I wasn’t here doing anything wrong
No matter what they label me, I am still one of the sons of the owner of this great institution
And of course, I have a high aspiration that made me enter this place.
Holding the door that led to the other side, I took a deep breath before pushing it in, ushering me to the world of the shareholders.
The place was rowdy, noisy even, but as soon as I stepped in, the silence echoed so hard.
The shock on their faces seeing me here was more than visible.
1 couldn’t hide the joy of seeing their faces this way as I walked straight to the chair.
Settling down. I cast my face on my brother, the shock in his eyes was too loud.
They rounded up in shock, his body visibly shaken as he looked right at me.
The lener in this place resulted in their betrayal of me,
They all were shocked and couldn’t even hide it.
“You are here.” The door opened and Father walked inside.
He couldn’t hide the smiles in his eyes, neither could he hide the happiness that shone in them.
Each one of us stood as he walked inside before settling at the head of the table where he belonged.
He was the CEO of this enterprise, and he always made sure that each one of us knew that regardless of what we think, we are getting along.
“Let’s start the meeting” He said in his wake, and immediately the meeting kicked off.
Through the thickness that spreads around, one eye couldn’t stop watching me with disdain, the hatred in his eyes too sharp
But he doesn’t know is isn’t where I am stopping, that I won’t stop until I have all that were his, the ones he stole from me.
After the meeting. Eric and I have the same number of shares, which was an open invitation to so much more.

Chapter 28
I could see the anger in him when his father announced that it was too much, and I knew he wasn’t just going to allow that one go.
Walking to Mr. Rodriguez’s office, I felt a hand on my shoulder, trying to push me aside.
My big body is stopping him, even as he tries so hard he can’t fully push me to the door.
He is standing aside immediately, seeing that he has filed..
“What do you want!” He pushed his hands together as the seriousness in his eyes was drawn.
It wanted to make a laugh come out of me, is he serious right now!
“I’m not about to stand here and have even the latest word with you, so you might have to stand aside
He is suddenly standing in between the road and I have to push bins to walk away.
His body is blocking the road, I know it is very much accessible to me and not even a problem.
“What do you want “He repeated his question.
If I stand here to tell him all that
I wanted, he will not stand anymore to hear half of it.
“I don’t owe you anything, and you owe me nothing as well, so move aside. I gesture to him, but he does not move, so I do the only thing in my mind.
Nudging him away from the door, he nearly fell to the floor.
Standing upright, he arranged his clothes like he hadn’t almost reached the floor as his
eyes were everywhere.
“I’m not going to let this rest” He swore
Before he pointed right to the face, he opened his mouth like he wanted to say a thing but closed it
“That was what I thought I hissed, walking away from him immediately
When I got to my father’s office, it looked like he had been expecting me anyway,
“You wasted time” He said as soon as I took the chair out, relaxing
“But I’m here now,” I said, gesturing my hands together
He gave me a slow nod as he relaxed in his chair.
He first gave me the longest look before opening the drawer and taking out a file.
“What do you want to do with your company!” He said, flipping the file.
1 see that file wasn’t for me, and the way he kept flipping it.
“I don’t understand, what do you mean, what do I want to do with my company?”
I understand perfectly well what he is trying to say. But of course, I’m going to allow him to say all the words in his mouth.
“I decided on my own even as the board was against it, I told them that I wanted you back. And that is what happened. So right now ju have to give up the right to your company because there is no way that you will divide your attention between the two
He closed the file back, putting it to where it had come from
“As I said before, I know exactly what I want to do with my company, and I doubt that there is any way it is going to distract the work plans I have for here.” I said to himi,
He reclaimed his ears, like the words were itching him, and he would rather not hear me saying that
But of course, I’m telling him what I know, handling the e two businesses is something that I can do with all my mind so yes he doesn’t have to worry
about it
you want to keep two companies rumming, think about it, okay? And get back to me. You
“There is no way the board will be happy to hear that y can leave
He wheeled the chair to the other side, obviously dismissing me without a word.
A sly idea is running through my head, what is the reason he is so adamant about me taking away something that I have built just to allow him to

take supreme?
I don’t have to think too much of it but of course I am because I know what the whole plan was, I know what it is going to be like.
