Being his Aversion

'Have a look Sir, our graphs are rising yet in a steady pace, not something we expect in our quarterly analysis.' My secretary Jennie said, getting my attention towards the projected graph.

She was right. The MS Corps recorded a rise in the profit by 20% in every four months but for the last four months, it was reduced to only 0.8%. I crooked my eyebrows and analysed the graph correctly.

There was no procured marketing strategy in these four months whatsoever. Yeah! This shit happens when you're out of the country for three months. I had to accompany my sister Rochelle to Paris for three months while she was in the process of getting a divorce from her husband. Rochelle went to a state of depression following the revealation of her husband Benjamin's connections with the underworld. And me and Nana thought, it was best for her to cease every relationship with the guy accused for three murders for the future of her and her daughter Cathy.

As such, I had to be beside my sister every little second to ensure her safety and security in Paris. Just as the proceedings were finalized a month ago, I brought Rochelle and Cathy back to the country with me.

But, in the mean time, I had to vest the responsibility of the company on my cousin Bryan. Bryan's mother and my father were siblings and as such, both of us were legal heirs of the MS Corps.

However, What I feel is Bryan still needs to learn many things. He's little too emotional for business. Moreover, he places heart over brain which makes him the staunch opposite of me and against my will power.

'So, Mr. Miller, what do you suggest is to do for the marketing strategies of the next quarterly investment?' Jacob, the Marketing assistant asked.

I draked my fingers over my hairs and leaned back on my chair.

'Well, as for that let's forget about the quarterly investment and start counting the monthly profits.' I said.

Jacob looked at me confused.

'But, Sir, wouldn't that be too risky?' he asked.

I chuckled.

'High risk, high reward Jacob. Moreover, I can't just wait for four more months and see my company become one of those average counting money rags.' I said.

Jacob nodded.

'And where is Bryan? I really need to see the fellow after his generous accomplishments.' I said sarcastically.

Everyone looked down.

'He must be at the fortieth floor Sir.' Jennie said. 'He said he had to go for an interview and it was around now.' she said looking at the watch.

'What interview? Did we schedule one? Do you have vacancies?' I asked fuming slightly.

'No Mr. Miller.' Patrick, the Event Manager said. 'Not something that I know.' he said.

I sighed in frustration.

'Fine. I'll find him myself.' I said standing off my seat.

Everyone steadied themselves.

I stormed off the conference room and made my way to the elevator.

A number of my employees greeted me with 'Good Morning Mr. Miller!' or 'Hello Sir!'. I nodded to few and ignored the rest.

The securities opened the elevator door for me.

I made my way towards Bryan's cabin. I want a piece of my worthless cousin today. Anger rushed through my nerves and if that was not enough, I saw a strange squeal in the lobby.
