Part 3

Lucius Fox

In the business world, a major storm was being forecasted as one of the biggest enterprises in the world held its Board meeting.

And so, he found himself sitting in the very Board Room he had helped build and then had been removed from, as the man who had fired him paced nervously as they waited for the main protagonist of the day.

William Earle paced nervously as the whole board sat there quietly, waiting for the young who had called this meeting to show up. However, apart from a few people, including the current CEO and his faction, which had become extremely small, the rest weren't really bothered.

"This is it. This has gone on for long enough. I will not let him make a mockery of this Board," the man shouted as he moved and sat down in the only empty seat in the room rashly, his eyes narrowing towards his side of the table.

Though not at him. But at the woman sitting beside him, dressed in a woman's suit, though Luciius had an inkling that this Selina Kyle usually wore a somewhat different dress, one which he might have even had a hand in creating.

"And who even are you, Miss Kyle, and where is that blasted boy?" he questioned in anger. Though, Lucius

"As I said earlier," the woman began slowly, her voice prim and posh, as she sat there wearing a simple black dress.

"I am his secretary, and Master Wayne is on his way. His car broke down, and he had to get it repaired," and a few beside him chuckled.

And why wouldn't they? Did Thomas Wayne lack cars?

"Is that a joke? The Wayne's have a whole fleet of cars," Earle complained, and the woman beside him had the audacity to reply with a simple smile.

"It's his lucky car," she replied, and Earle chewed his lips before he straightened up and uttered.

"That is enough. As CEO of Wayne Enterprises, I call this meeting into session," he announced, and Lucius simply raised a brow as the doors to the meeting room were closed.

Perhaps he should have been worried, but the smiling expression of the woman beside him told her that there wasn't anything to worry about. And in the time he had spent with Thomas Wayne, he had come to understand that the young man was not one to give a person like Earle any chance, especially now that next week, the young man was going to have the first launch of his own subsidiary.

And what a launch that was going to be, he thought as he looked towards the two prototypes placed there behind him.

"And for the first motion of the meeting, I call for the removal of Lucius Fox from the Board," Earle spoke up as he turned to glare at him. The man thought that it was him standing behind young Thomas Wayne.

However, it was completely the opposite.

"Do I have a second," he questioned, and his VP raised his hand, and with a nod, the motion was moved forward. He looked still and sat without moving an inch as the young woman turned to look at him with a raised brow.

Then it happened: the doors to the conference room were opened, and the young man they had all been waiting for walked into the room.

"And the motion is denied," he announced before the voting could even begin, and he saw Earle flush in rage as Thomas Wayne walked into the room.

The young man gave him a small nod as he moved towards his seat. The young woman who had been sitting there stood up, and he didn't miss the way her eyes narrowed at him, nearly chiding the young man.

She wasn't his secretary.

"And how can you say that you control only forty percent of the shares," Earle shouted, and Thomas took his seat, ignoring the man as he gave him a nod before he finally decided to speak up.
