Chapter 18

The next day, After a sleepless night Paige dragged her heavily fatigued body down stairs with dark cycles around her eyes.

What happened to you? did you fight a ghost at night, Lucy asked after seeing her walking to the table.

I don't want to talk about it, She said Am hungry is anything ready?

Yes I have put it on the table for you let me bring water.

Thank you Aunt. But why is there only one serving, Trevor is already gone? she asked once she got to the table and sat.

Oh Trevor left in a hurry last night, he said something happened back home. He didn't tell you? Lucy said while serving water to her.

No he didn't, Its probably something serious he forgot to say, Her mood became groomy and barely ate anything she later got up and went for work.

This girl complained to be hungry and yet she barely ate, Lucy complained while she cleared the table.

The day at work wasn't any different at all she barely kept focus on anything.

Why are you so distracted today, is it that Trevor is gone with your focus, Mike teased.

You knew that he was leaving? She asked all curious.

Yes I did, he texted me last night saying he will be off training for the next week. Why you didn't know?

Paige just rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

No way you really didn't know? should I give him a call?

No! don't, it's not important, he might have forgotten, she said and started to park her bags cover my shift for me, am going to cool off.

But am still working, he complained.

Bye she said completely ignoring his plea and left.

IN ROCK CITY THE SAME DAY.

Good morning sir how was your trip? Tony said. Trevor's office assistant, he was young but very hard working and attentive. Trevor personally picked him and taught him everything he needed to know about the business world, other then Charles he trusted Tony like his little brother.

What's so good about the morning, Trevor said. he possessed domineering Aura with a cold face.

You being here, he said and carried his bags to the car and opened the door for him, he then got into the drivers seat. Where to sir?

The company, He instructed while he read through his tablet that was handed to him showing todays agenda.

How many share holders are present?

All twenty sir. and silence followed after that.

AT THE MEETING.

Mr Adams, Betty Adams' Father also the biggest share holder in the company.

Good morning my fellow share holders am sorry for rushing you here at such short notice but without taking much of your time let's begin the meeting. Mr Adams spoke the moment he stepped in.

I don't think its appropriate to start the meeting without the CEO Mr Lin spoke the finance manager.

When was the last time you saw your so called CEO? ever since his last race he has been hiding due to the disgrace he brought upon the company.

His racing may have been disgraceful thanks to someone Mr Lin paused before he continued but overall his able to take care of the company.

Not everyone agrees with you Mr Lin, you may have been loyal to his father but I think its time for change isn't it?

A few members agreed while the others where not for the idea.

To be fair we can all take a vote, Mr Adams suggest with a smirk on his face those in favor for a new change and a new future may raise their hands. two third of the meeting lifted their hands to vote while others stayed rooted.

Don't be threatened as long as I have the biggest shares non of you will suffer any losses. After saying that more hands where lifted just then the door open and Trevor walked in with a suffocating aura surrounding him soon spread through the room.

Tony take note of all the hands that are still up and bring the list to me after the meeting. He ordered his assistance who was following him to his sit.

Yes sir, in no time fear was spread and hands that where once held up straight started to fall but didn't not escape Tony's sharp eyes.

He slightly bowed to show his respect to Mr Lin before he sat down and looked at Mr Adams who was chairing the meeting.

Mr Adams please go on, he motion with his hands.

Well since you have been away for nearly two months now we thought you had given up on the company. Mr Adam said.

Even though I was away I still handled all necessary work that required me, would you still say I was giving up?

We still require your presence and...

By we do you mean everyone here or just you and your pawns?

How could he say that? his already a disgrace to the father but still arrogant, A few members whispered to each other.

How can you still be so arrogant in front of your subordinates Mr Adam spoke more furiously at the end of the day we have more powers to replace you right now!

Oh is that so? his face darkened as he spoke if that's the case then those that fill am not good enough can vote now!

few hands where raised including Mr Adams' hands who was more determined to throw him off.

This is your only chance he said again. I will respect what ever the out come is. but the rest where to scared to even breath out loud. Mr Adam it seems you don't have enough support.

I will if I decide to withdraw my shares, he smirked sarcastically.

Everyone mummered knowing the company might collapse the moment he does that and they would make a loss, others rejoiced and wanted to see how far Trevor's arrogance would go but his face was as still as it was without a bit of emotions on it.

Do it.

What? everyone was in shock

I said do it Mr Adam withdraw your funds Trevor repeated.

How can you still be so arrogant till this moment, One man said from the members, If Mr Adam withdraws his funds we will suffer.

Mr Adam its your choice now.

Mr Adam smiled because his plans were going just as he planned. He knew Trevor was so arrogant to admit to failure and he knew he wouldn't get the company so easily hence he planned to steal its resources and destroy it. knowing Trevor would dare him to withdraw the funds he quickly took out the contract and withdrew the funds and canceled it even though the penalty was a huge amount he knew the benefits would be massive and just like that it ended.

Let's see how you will survive without my funds Mr Adam laughed along with his pawns.

All those whose hands where up the second round of voting. Trevor spoke as he stood up and walked to where Mr Adam was and sized him up, cancel their contracts as well for they are are no longer share holders of T and T trading and supply company.

Mr. Adam's face paled at the turn of events as he wasn't expecting him to fire his pawns.

Mr Adam is no longer the biggest share holder and has no shares under the company hence should be escorted out right now.

What's the meaning of this? Mr. Adam tried to complain.

It was your own doing Mr. Adam I don't expect you to fight me right now. he then turned to the remaining share holders. I would like to introduce the new share holders as he said that a group of people walked in and sat around the table, and lastly our biggest share holder will be Ms. Penelope Brooke.

Ms. Brooke being popularly known in both the business circle and the entertainment center she was well respected hence everyone approved of her immediately she stepped in and sat where Mr.Adam sat.

Everything happened so fast Mr Adam ended up paying more money to his furious pawns and his company suffered a huge drop in sells the moment the cooperation ended.

Thank Ms.Penelope for coming at such short notice.

Oh you don't have to am already happy helping you since we are family now. she said and held his hands you should visit me with Paige one of these days when you are free.

We will visit soon.

That's better am going now take good care of yourself.

Thank you. He waited for her to get into the car and left before he turned and held back into his office.
