Old Man Ross

Kylie picked up her phone and called her assistant,

" Did I disturb you "

" No chairwoman, you didn't "

" Did you buy a condo, for me "

" umm. I did but the key has not been sent yet and all your things have been transferred there already "

Kylie scratched her eyebrow and sighed " Fine then, pick me up from Royal star hotels and buy me clothes when coming "

" Okay boss "

" that's all," Kylie said and ended the call.

Walking back into the hotel she booked a room and walked off to the elevator, after getting to her room, she opened the door and walked in, sighing she sat on the couch, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the night sky which looked beautiful but lonely just as her life was, she drifted off to sleep thinking about her life.

THE NEXT MORNING

Kylie walked out of her room after getting dressed and ready for another day at work, she walked into the elevator with David trailing after her and reporting her schedule for the day,

" The key for the condo has been sent, it's in your office " she nodded

" Also with the investors at 10 a.m. and a meeting with the legal department to discuss the contract by midnight. " she nodded

" but there's a little problem," he said and her head snapped toward him as she walked out of the elevator

" what problem "

" Your grandfather's assistant sent a message that your grandpa wants to meet you by 12 in the Restaurant close to the building "

" that old man always has a way to disturb my life " Kylie muttered smirking as she stopped walking getting to the car.

David stepped forward and opened the car door for her,

" Reschedule my meeting with the legal department to 2 pm and all the documents that need to be signed send them in after that meeting, " Kylie said as she got into the car.

" yes chairwoman," David said, got into the car, and started driving.

Ocean Estate every employee stood in a straight line to welcome the chairman of the company, his face was as cold as ice, although he was old he was as strong as a bull.

They shivered in fear and bowed their leads as he walked past them, after he entered the elevator with his assistant, the employees sighed in relief, they thought they were going to do.

" Okay everyone back to work " The receptionist shouted.

Walking out of the elevator old man Ross stormed toward the conference meeting with his assistant trying to pacify him,

" you have to calm down sir " His assistant pleaded with him,

Old man Ross paid a deaf ear to his assistant and opened the conference down with a bang which surprised everyone.

Everyone stood up and bowed their heads in greetings wondering why the Chairman came unexpectedly and so suddenly with a stormy expression on his face.

" Grandpa you are here...what brings you here so suddenly?? " Callie asked bowing her head as she grits her teeth in frustration.

" I came to witness the meeting which is being held in my absence when all the shareholders are present except me " Old man Ross said raising a brow at everyone in the room.

" Grandpa it's not what you think, I just forgot to inform you about it " Callie pouting her lips looking at her grandpa.

Old Man Ross made a snort of derision at the lame excuse she was giving, walking past her he took his seat at the high chair situated at the head of the table.

" You may all seat, " He said and they all sat down " you may proceed with the matter of discussion "

Callie muttered curses under her breath at the old man wondering who gave him the information that there was a meeting happening, she had to fish out the spy else she won't be able to take over the corporation.

She was snapped back to reality when she heard what was said

" Chairman, our profits have dropped by 20 percent for the 2 years "

" And why is that?? " Old man Ross asked glancing at Callie for an answer.

" Some amount of money has noticeably gone missing and is nowhere to be found, with no account of how it was used "

"Now?? " The chairman asked the temperature to drop to 10 degrees.

Everyone creased their brows wondering why it was suddenly cold and why the air felt kind of stuffy.

Old man Ross slammed his hands on the desk standing up he looked up from the desk with a stormy expression on his face,

" everyone out right now " he yelled and all the shareholders ran out fearing for their heads, turning towards Callie he implored for the reason for the low percent in profit and the money which had no account of being used.

" Grandpa I promise I don't know anything about all this " Callie said with a pitiful face.

" You are the CEO for a reason, you are supposed to know all these things and yet you don't, " The Chairman asked looking at her with an intense gaze.

" ...umm.....am sorry grandpa....i...i "

" I don't care what you have to say, all I want is the result, I want to see results...results you hear me..." He shouted at her,

" yes grandpa, I understand "

" Also you have only two months to prove your worth to me ease you will be demoted to becoming the COO " Old man Ross said and walked out of the conference.

Callie gritted her teeth in anger, what's with that old man, how dare he does this to her she screamed pulling her hair in anger. You just wait old man am gonna show you my worth she thought, fixed her hair and walk out with a smile on her face.

Chasing after his boss who was walking as fast as a flash, Martin sighed and continued trailing after his boss, everyone bowed their head as the chairman walked out without even a nod of acknowledgment.

Old man Ross sighed as he got into the car and closed his eyes in deep thought, getting into the car Martin sighed looking at the old man with worry in his gaze.

" Let's go," the chairman told the driver turning his eyes to look out the window " and you stop looking at me like am going to die soon, " Old Man Ross remarked staring out the window.

" But chairman you have to stop stressing yourself or else you might age faster " Martin retorted.

" blah...whatever " The Old Man told him " now let me get some rest "

" Yes Mr. Go, we will make sure your requirements are met and this project is successful, " Kylie said shaking hands with Mr. Go the foreign investor.

" Then I put my trust in you and your company, don't disappoint me," Mr. Go remarked taking back his hands.

" Sure we wouldn't, let my assistant see you off, " Kylie said with a calm expression on her face.

" Okay then, till we meet again," Mr. Go said and walked away.

After seeing the investors off David walked into the CEO's office and saw his boss reading a file, checking his time he sighed when he saw it was already 11: 30 and it takes at least 10 minutes to get to the Restaurant.

" Boss, it's almost time to meet your grandpa " He muttered looking at his boss who looked like a goddess with the sun reflecting directly on her face.

" Let's go then," Kylie said standing up and walking toward the door, David cleared his throat to stop himself from thinking about her elegance and walked after her.
