Caspar's PoV:

The conference starts in five minutes. My palms were starting to get sweaty as my chest felt heavy. This was so uncomfortable and nerve wrecking. I didn't know what I was up against, because my father wasn't exactly an angel.

But whatever it is, I was going to fight.

And Speaking of him, he was standing a few feet away, talking to his minion's, including Ricky.

That bastard.

I was going to break his neck first thing when I saw him today, but Will asked me to calm down, so I did. I can't attack him now, not with so many flashlights bugs surrounding the place.

"I think it's time we go inside now," Will announces, interrupting my thoughts.

This is it.

We all walked through the big conference room's door, and were flooded with flashlights and people murmuring unending questions. Of course, we ignored every single one as we made our way to our seats and sat down.  Will leaned in on one mic and started talking,

"Thank you so much for being here today. We are gathered here because of some special announcement that the CEO of Lee's Holding has decided to share with the public. Pleas do note that I will pick up the questioners; any disruption while the questions are being asked or answered, and you will be escorted out by the security immediately with no return." He then gestured to my father, " the announcement will take place first, and then you will be able to place your questions."

Will then leaned back from the mic, glanced at me and back at the crowed sitting right in front of us.

I gulped; and waited for my father to start talking. This is not good at all.  He leaned to the mic, took a breath and started blabbering.

"Greetings. Well it is I, Robert Lee. I would like to thank you first for being here, I'm sure you had much more events to cover at this right moment other than listening to this old man and what he has to say." The crowed chuckled, while I sat still. I didn't even blink.

Just get on with it, pops.

"Today, I'm here to announce that I will be resining as the Head CEO of my company. I will be handing it to my only son here, and ask that you all support him in his new position." He continued as I chocked in my own spit.

What the fuck is he doing?!

I glared at him in disbelief as Will handed me water, his eyes were wide as well as the room went into a storm of whispers. I coughed few times and took a sip. My father continued,

" This dog is getting old, and needs a rest from the vicious business world. I think my son is finally ready to step in for his old man, and take this company into a new era of success." He glanced at me, and smiled that fake mysterious smile of his.

Seriously? How are we related again?

The press started to get louder as my father thanked them again and sat back. My head felt light as my stomach twisted. This can't be happening, he placed me in such an awkward spot because I was not expecting this.

Never.

Will shushed the crowed, and started picking up questions.

"Yes you right there, please ask your question," he said through the mic.

"Hello, this is Rachel from BBC news, my question is for Mr. Caspar. Sir, can you give us a quote on your opinion to this huge news?"

I adjusted my tie a bit, and leaned forward. "I-I'm still speechless to be quiet honest. Just like you, I wasn't aware of the news until now, might want to ask me later?"
