Chapter One Hundred and Four - Voting Time

With a smirk, I looked at the confused faces of the board members. My mother is pulling the strings and her puppet is doing an excellent job.

I was so angry, my thoughts were on my mother's agenda, but my brilliant wife caught on.

"I'm sorry what?" another board member asks, his eyes on me waiting for my reaction. He was going to be so disappointed this afternoon.

That whore looks at Hailey whose sitting tight lip, like a f***king goddess, all in white. I place my hand on her tightly clenched fists, that laid on her lap.

She turns and gives me a sad smile. Even though we were expecting this play, it's still disappointing.

Hailey quickly piped in, "Mr. Knights, do you have another nominee!" she politely asks dad, but I could hear the bitterness, that covered the sweet tone she spoke with.

Dad, stands up, smiling, "I'm not going to argue here so in the interim, I would like to nominate, Mr. Allan Sullivan, as the CEO of Knights Foundation" dad says and looking down the table, my eyes fell on the angry whore as she threw daggers at my wife.

Victoria stood up, "I second that nomination and Kurt raises a hand.

" I third the nomination " he agrees.

That fu**ring whore looks around confused.

"All in favor?" dad asks and by my count, thirteen hands up, flying high.

Take that bitch! Chuckling, she doesn't even realize what just happened.

Dad smiles proudly at Hailey, "congratulations AL" he chuckles while we all stood hugging and congratulating him, my wife kept seated, with folded arms staring at that whore, with a bland unreadable expression.

With the hearty atmosphere in the room, I clapped my hands to get everyone's attention.

"On this note, my wife and I would like to invited each and everyone of you to a formal dinner on Friday night. My PA will forward the location and time!" I chuckle.

Hailey quickly stands up, "and please, bring your significant other." she added, leaning up and kissed my cheek. "I need a dress!" she whispers in my ear.

"Yes honey" I kissed her back, lightly on the lips.

Still standing, Hailey looks around the room, "can I take it as a yes, that everyone present here, will be attending the dinner.

I look around and everyone nods in acceptance, even that f**king whore. Why did I have to make this an open invitation.

Hailey smiles sweetly, with my note pad in hand, "Ms. Thomas, would you like to give me your phone number for my husband's PA to contact you?"

The whore, gives Hailey a cold icy glare, "your husband has it" she smiles sweetly at me, but Hailey wasn't perturb.

"I'm asking you!" Hailey stated firmly.

Standing up, the whore gathers her belongings, ignoring Hailey ready to leave.

Victoria, stood observing everything, "Ms. Thomas" she called her stopping the whore in her tracks.

"Knights Foundation is a family unit and your disrespect to the new CEO is not a good way to start off!" Victoria informs the whore, who opens her mouth in surprise.

She looks at Hailey, who just stood, notepad in hand, taking everyone's name and number.

With her eyes on Hailey, "he's the CEO" speaking slowly, she points at Allan.

With a smug look, "Mr. Sullivan is representing Mrs. Knights, who is the actual CEO" Victoria slowly explains. "Weren't you paying attention" Victoria asks, staring at the whore in disappointment.

The whore, just stares at my wife, dumfounded.

"Not a good way to start Ms. Thomas," Victoria, the secretary of the board shakes her head. "I'll have a word with Amelia concerning your unprofessional behavior from the moment Adian and his wife walked into the board room. Whatever your personal issues you don't used this office as your battlefield." Victoria continues to criticized the whore!

F**k, what got Vic so steamed up.

I still don't understand my mother's motive for sending someone to represent her today!

"Hailey?" Allan called her. "Would you like to adjourn this meeting?"

Hailey looks at me already declining with her eyes.

"Of course she would!" Vic chuckles, giving Hailey an encouraging smile.

Needing no extra push, Hailey nods.

"If everyone can have their seats for a minute," she starts speaking, wringing her hands nervously.

"I would like to thank you for trusting my uncle" she pause at that, looking at Allan, "who I didn't know was my uncle until today." she says with a sad look.

I looked around and realized all the older members didn't seem surprise by Hailey's comment.

"In supporting him, you support me and I thank you for that."

"Mr. Kurt, on before of my husband and I, please accept our deepest sympathy and if we can help you in any way, please feel free to call us at anytime" she smiles politely.

"Oh but not Sunday mornings" she added quickly.

"Sleeping in late on Sunday mornings, huh?" Milton chuckles and the others, except the whore joins in, with their dirty minds.

Blushing, Hailey turns to me with a mischievous smirk, f**k, is she going to say...

"No, we have church and then lunch with the children at Elizabeth's Children's Home," Hailey answers proudly.

"CHURCH?" Milton repeats looking around the room in disbelief. "You" he points to me, "You go to church?" he ask, still not believing Hailey.

"Sorry I'm not buying that" he says.

Putting a hand on my shoulder, "come on, my husband is a great guy, who just needed a greater woman to show him his full potential" Hailey leans and hugs me.

"Here, here" Vic chuckles, giving Hailey her full approval. "I love you already" she tells Hailey.

"Young Knight, you finally made me proud and I fully approve, you did great indeed" Milton says, saluting me from across the room.

"The missus will not believe this. Adian goes to church!" Milton, shakes his head, still in shock.

Smiling, "On that note, meeting is adjourned!"
