Abandoned

A large conference room began to fill up rather quickly. All sorts of people were entering, from normal everyday people, to newscasters and photographers. They were all there to see a press conference, from the owner of a mega giant corporation. The company was mainly an entertainment company, but rumors and conspiracy theories state that the company owns everything from car dealerships to the power plants.

But none of that had anything to do with why the press conference had been called. The reason it had been called, was that the owner of the company had recently passed away. His wife had been long deceased, which meant the company was up for grabs. Well, not really, as the heirs to company were already chosen. It was between one of his two twin sons. Even though both were underage, the board saw it fit that the company stayed under the control of the family.

Lucas, one of the twins, sat in a back room, getting ready for the conference. He looked into the mirror and adjusted his tie. "Alright Lucas, you can do this. You've seen dad do it thousands of times, so it shouldn't be that hard," Lucas said to himself, as he dusted off his suit. He took a few deep breaths, before heading for the stage.

As Lucas stepped on stage, the audience began to bustle. Multiple front row news reporters and paparazzi began to take pictures of Lucas. The bright light of the camera flashes disoriented him a little, but he did his best to pretend like it didn't.

He made his way to the podium, which had a large array of microphones on it. Beside him were two of his most trusted security details, Cloud and Snake. Both were large, slightly threatening looking men, who deterred anyone from trying to do anything......awful. Lucas cleared his throat before speaking into the mics.

"It is with a heavy heart, that I have to formally announce the passing of my father, Flint, the CEO of our family company, Tazmily Entertainment. He was a great man, and an excellent father to boot. Now, I'll just cut to the chase, seeing as that's what you're all here for. About who will take over the position of CEO. The board of directors has seen it fit that my brother, Claus, will be taking over the company. I wholeheartedly agree with this decision, and feel that the board has made the right call. My brother is a great person, and an excellent worker. I'm sure the company will thrive under his leadership. Now, to break a tradition my father started, I will be taking questions."

This seemed to surprise Cloud and Snake, as they hadn't been informed of this before the conference started. They gave each other a look of seriousness, before returning to make sure nothing bad happened.

One reporter raised his hand, and Lucas called on him. "Just to clarify......how old are you and your brother exactly?"

".....We are both seventeen years old......but don't let the fact that we are minors change your perception of us."

Most of the news reporters up front began to hastily scribble things down on their notepads. Another reported raised his hand, and Lucas subsequently called on him. "I am wondering.......how will your brothers style of management be any different from your fathers?" Lucas thought about it for a little, then shrugged.

"I......honestly couldn't tell you. You'd have to wait until he does a press conference."

This time, substantially less people jotted what Lucas said down. Yet another reporter raised their hands, and Lucas called on them in the same fashion. "There have been a plethora of rumors circulating the internet about you and your brother's sexuality......tell me, do any of these rumors have any bases in fact?"

This time, Lucas wasn't so quick to answer. He was taken aback by the question, a blush now forming on his face. He stepped back a little, as Snake and Cloud moved to his side. "U-Um....w-well that's-........that's not really-" Snake placed his hand on Lucas' shoulders, as Cloud moved up to the podium. "This conference is now over. You all may leave," and Just like that, Lucas was escorted offstage by Snake and Cloud.
