Chapter 46; Are you sure your father will come back

She questioned trying to figure it out.

In Joel's Office

Joel had settled in his chair and Lucy had left after the inspection.

He was swaying himself in the chair when the door knocked and two men and one entered.

He smiled on seeing the three who were part of the shareholders.

He smiled and went to sit with them in the Parlor.

" Mr Williams, Mr Daniel's and Mrs Regina, You are all welcome to my new office." Joel said to them.

" We are here to welcome you once again Mr Rivers to this Company." Mr Williams said.

" Thank you " Joel answered pleasantly.

" How has been work in my absence ?" Joel asked.

" Work has been going as planned Mr Rivers." Said Mrs Regina with a grin.

" That is so good." Joel spoke pleasantly.

" Since you are here, Hope our plans can go as we revised." Said Mr Miles.

" Let's not be quick. My sister will be so shocked if she finds out that I already bought the shares." Joel said.

" So what is the plan ?" Mrs Regina asked.

" The plan is simple." Joel simpered and bent closer to them.

" In the following meeting, I want one of the to bring the suggestion of getting the Company a new President." Joel suggested.

" Won't that be too fast ?" Mrs Regina asked.

" None of us is sure when Mr Andersons will come back, I'm sure it's the time to put the Company into new hands." Joel said.

" That is true. But the way i know the other shareholders none of them will agree to that as long as Mr Andersons is still alive." Said Mr Williams.

" That is true. But we can use the chance to prove them that Canary not suitable to be the President nor the CEO. There we shall bring them on our side." Said Joel.

Mrs Regina smiled in agreement.

" Does anyone of you know his weaknesses ?" Joel asked.

" I heard that there was a scandal between him and Secretary Camilla. How about we use that as a start point ?" Mr Miles asked.

" That's very good. I will reach out to her." Joel promised.

That evening Canary worked up so late at around 8pm and he was heading downstairs when he realized that the lights from the Designing team were still on.

He got curious and went to check on what was inside only to find Lisa busy on the Computer before her desk.

Everyone else had left except her and Canary was surprised to find her inside.

" What are you still doing here ?" Lisa suddenly heard a deep voice ask her and almost got startled because she didn't expect anyone to come there at that time.

" Canary.." She called getting up.

He went to her desk to see what she was doing on a Computer only to find that she was designing something.

" You are supposed to be home at this time, Aren't you ?" He asked.

" I just didn't feel like going home yet so I decided to complete all the work you gave me today." She said.

" But it's late. Don't you know that you should go and have some rest ?" He asked.

This made Lisa remember the day Jenny slapped her for not completing the work she had been given.

That day Canary came and defended Jenny saying that the company allows workers to sleep over as long as they work they must finish.

Lisa chuckled after remembering this and said.

" Canary, You have really changed." She said it to him.

" What ?" Canary asked.

" I remember very well the day you told Jenny to give work to do. I failed to complete it and when Jenny slapped me you said she was right because I could have completed the work if I was dedicated to it because the Company allows workers to stay over as long as they have uncompleted work." Lisa narrated to him.

Canary felt offended on hearing this and turned around.

" I can't believe that you are the same person who is now reminding me to go back home because it's too late," she said.

" …I..was…just telling you. Don't think that I am so concerned." He spoke with his back facing her:

Lisa moved and went in front of him.

" Canary I know you are concerned about me." She surprised him with this.

" At first you were cruel and arrogant, But eveything has totally changed." Lisa said happily and Canary was speechless so he just stared at her.

" At first I used to judge you but then realized that you are so kind, and you care about people." She said.

" Hmm, Who said that I care about you ?" Canary asked feeling touched by her words that he didn't want to accept.

" You saved my life." Lisa said warmly.

Canary looked away and said.

" I would do that for anyone else" he said.

" I know …That's why I am saying that you are kind." Lisa said making him to look at her again.

Inside Canary was happy to hear this but he didn't want to show her so he maintained his cold face and said.

" It's too late. Go back home !" He said and finally walked away.

Lisa smiled and switched off the Computer quickly which after she grabbed her bag and ran after him until she found him on the next floor.

He was walking slowly so she easily caught up with him and begun walking at his pace.

" By the way, What kept you here for so long ?" She asked.

" I am your boss. You shouldn't be asking such questions." He said.

" I know…But when I came to the office earlier you didn't look fine." She said.

" Is there anything bothering you ?" Lisa asked.

When Canary heard her question he slowed his walking pace and then remembered what Joel had said to him.

….." I see you have still kept your Father's photos here. Don't you think you should change them since you are now the CEO ?" …..Joel had asked.

…..Are you sure that your father will come back ? I see you have much hopes…I should also take photos never know they need to be put in a such a beautiful office...

These words which Joel had said were still distracting Canary just that he had decided not to mind much about them.

Lisa was still waiting for her answer from him.
