CHAPTER 60

Knowing him and Beatrice, they were doing this on purpose so that he would lose his patience with them and would surely mess up in this very important night of his life. They wanted to rain on his parade.

They knew how strict his father was when it comes to Larsen Corp. and if he messed this up, there was a possibility that he would change his mind and take back his decision. That was what Vito and Beatrice wanted to see but he would never let them play him with their little fingers.

He took a deep breath and faced them confidently.

"C'mon, Beatrice, Vito. You know me better than that. We're family after all. I mean, you should be lifting me up by supporting me, right? Now that I'm the new CEO of Larsen Corp., seeing you supporting me means a lot." He said faking an amused tone.

Beatrice looked like she was surprised of his answer but quickly pulled back her poise right away. "Well, you're right. We're a family that's why we're concerned about you. We're just giving advice. I hope you don't mind. I'm just doing my part as your second mother." Cross wanted to laugh because Beatrice seemed to be having a hard time keeping that fake smile of hers but when he heard the last sentence she just uttered, that made his blood boil.

His fists tightened but didn't let them notice that what she said got into him. He was about to retaliate but somebody spoke.

"You're step-mother is right, Mr. Larsen. I mean, your performance in the company was exceptional that's why we're expecting great things from you from now on. I hope, your issue regarding women won't affect your job as the CEO." It was Mr. Chang. He's been a longtime friend and business associate of his father.

"Of course, not, Mr. Chang. And for your information, I'm not some womanizer out there. I only have one woman in my life that I love her the most. That's my fiancée."

"That's great then. A faithful man is a great image of the company. I'm glad that you're not like those other rich guys who has done nothing but to collect woman after woman." Another man, which was a member of the board, said and everyone seem to have liked what he just said except Vito and Beatrice, including Paige who had her fists clenched tightly while looking at him in pain.

He groaned inwardly. Even though Paige has been a nuisance ever since the first time they met, she couldn't blame her. She didn't have any idea of what was happening around her and that affected his conscience.

Even though he's been called cold by many, his heart wasn't made of stone. He was just a normal human being.

"Oh, Fiancée? That's good to hear. Where is she? Don't tell me, she didn't come to support you? What kind of fiancée is that? Or maybe, she already broke up with you." Vito's voice was obviously taunting, trying to get on his nerves but the smile on Cross' face didn't fade.

"Don't worry, bro. Chloe and I are still together. I love her too much to let her slip through my fingers. If I loved her before, I love her even more now." Vito's eyebrow arched and Cross caught Beatrice rolled her eyes.
