The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

Elder Harmon didn't know who the young man was. If there was Dylan, he would have filled him up. So he glanced at the secretaries. A young lady, Emma, went forwards and gave a brief introduction. "Chairman Harmon, He is Martin Parker. Mr. Parker's youngest son."

The Parker family has domestic and international airlines. Mr. Parker was the third-largest shareholder of Harmon Industries. It wasn't the first time they tried to covet the CEO position. Instead of building another company or expanding their airlines, they were eyeing some top companies to acquire. They had a lot of money to waste.

Seungri always handled their sneaky activity. This time, Martin didn't look like he was being sneaky. He was confident that he could solve the whole issue with the money. Seungri wasn't sure who he should curse, Ruby Jane or the Parker family or Martin.

Elder Harmon's eyes slightly widened but he held his composition, hiding his nervousness. He had noticed that Mr. Parker was absent from the meeting but didn't expect they were waiting to seize the company.

Martin Parker, the most eligible bachelor but he hardly stays in the country. Born and grew up in a different country, his education and lifestyle weren't only different, but posh. If some admire his expensive suit, others would think he was showing off, being overly polished. Well, Martin didn't care.

He was slightly pissed off for skipping his vacation and flying to Mocon overnight, just to show his face and take down the company.

His eyes landed on the old man but paused. Somebody else caught his attention and his gaze shifted. He saw a person at the opposite end of the table, relaxing on the swivel chair with a hat on the face. Considering the build, 'A lady?'

Everyone followed his line of sight. Before they could wake that person up, they heard a man's voice, "We are sorry to be late for the meeting." It was a man next to Martin. The latter had to peel his eyes away from the delicate, curled rose petal-like earlobe under the black hat.

He stretched his long legs and walked towards Elder Harmon, ignoring the middle-aged man who was grinning unnecessarily, just because he served him in a small work.

He extended his hand at Elder Harmon, His voice was toned when he greeted, "Chairman Harmon, Martin Parker here."

Elder Harmon looked at the handsome face of the man. Not every good-looking face has a good personality. Elder Harmon wanted to see how scheming this man could be.

He nodded in response to the greeting, "We have just concluded the meeting, Mr. Martin." He started the fact.

Martin didn't leave the old man's hand. He cued Elder Harmon to have a seat. He only left his hand when Elder Harmon was comfortable on the chair. Turning around, his eyes brushed on Seungri before facing all the confused shareholders.

His deep, and curt voice resounded in the hall, "Please take your seats. I won't take a long time." Against his words, he sounded authoritative and unyielding.

As though puppets controlled, everyone sat down and Martin's eyes again fell at the other end of the table. People might think the person was lazy and dozed off in a meeting but Martin knew it wasn't the case. He was curious to see the face behind the hat but kept his curiosity to himself. He thought to check when he will conclude the meeting.

Little did he know, the same person was going to shut the doors of his dreams.

"Pardon me for being late. Could somebody brief me how the meeting was concluded?" He appeared like he wasn't going to take no as a response.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and briefed everything in less than a minute. "Thank you, mister." Martin didn't bat an eyelid.

He flicked his fingers and his assistants quickly went on either side and started placing a file in front of everyone. Martin took a file and personally handed it to Chairman Harmon. His father had stressed him twice to treat the old man cordially. He could only be this warm to the old man.
