"If you don't want to anger me to death, then no matter what you must attend!"
That phonecall had forced him to sit on the plane for hours.
"We will land soon, do you want to go straight to the hotel?", asked a man who was in thirty.
"Go to the company."
"Okay"
Louis was the son of the old man's right hand. Whe Kevin moved to the States, he also went along. If he was asked who knew hom the best, then Louis would pop up on his mind.
Getting off the private plane that the old man sent to pick him up, a black sedan car had been waitin for them.
"This old man is getting more annd more persistent as he gets older", Kevin shook his head lightly.
Louis who knew this pair of grandpa and grandson's stubborness well couldn't help but smiled, "You can't blame the chairman as well."
The chauffeur drove right away to the company as imstructed and stopped in front of the entrance. "Go to the hotel and take a rest.", Kevin told Louis without looking back, then walked into the company.
It's been several years since the last time he came, the interior didn't change much so he could easily find the elevator. He walked into the elevator and pressed the button.
There was only a young lady in the elevator who was looking down and somehow looked tired and depressed as if the sky would fall any sooner. He thought to himself that she might just be reprimanded by her superior. However, Kevin never pitied this kind of person. In fact, he hated people who was not efficent and effective in working.
The elevator soon arrived on the 9th floor. Upon hearing the sound, the young lady lifted up her head. He could see her pale face well from his angle. She had naked face, but looked enhanting on the other side. Her loose white blouse madeher look petite, when her black pencil skirt wrapped her waist giving our the vibe of profesionalism.
Walking out the elevator, her back was straight and her nude heels lenghtened her legs. The previous depressed young lady turned into a confident queen in just several seconds.
Soon the elevator closed and brought him up to the tenth floor. He walked straight to the CEO's room. Everyone who saw him stood instantly as they knew he was the competent first young master. He was the talented man who established his own company at the age of twenty after graduating from his bachelor degree.
"Brotherrr......", a loud voice greeed him as soon as he came into the room.
The owner's voice walked happily to his side and hugged him. "It's harder to see you than to see king"
Then another lady came closer and smiled, "It's been a long time"
Hugo who was still hugging him was pushed back. Before he could react, a manly voice rang to his ears "Let me stay here before the party, the old man will annoy me if I go to the hotel."
"Sure.. the door will always open for you", Hugo smiled widely.
"I will go and have a meeting,you guys can freely catch up",Kaylee left the two cousins and headed to the meeting room.
Hugo them invited Kevin to sit in his office and told hos secretary to bring two cups of coffee.
"So bro.. How long will you stay this time?"
"Going back tomorrow"
"WHAT? Are you kidding me ?"
"..."
"You know.. Grandpa really hopes you to take over the company"
"You know.. I've never interested."
"He is old now.. Do you have to be so stubborn?"
"You can help him"
"No no no.. Taking care of the subsisiary has been tough enough. You want me to take care of the whole company is like you kill me."
Listening to Hugo, he couldn't help but frowned "Then are you trying to kill me instead?"
"..."
Getting no answer from Hugo, he stood up and walked to the door. Hugo instantly stood up from his seat and asked "Bro..where are you going?", his trembled voice was the real evidence that he was in panic.
"Restroom"
Hugo's heart almost stopped beating, how if this cousin of his felt wronged and decided to go back to the States. If that the case, then the old man would hit him to death.
After using the restroom, Kevin who was walking back to the CEO's room came across an exciting scene. In the glass room, there stood two young ladies, one with full make up on point, the other was as pale as paper.
"Don't act like an angel when you deliberately want to humiliate me", said the one with full make up. He knew this woman, Uncle Royce's daughter. He met her once when Uncle Royce visited her in the States and invited him to a dinner. It would be a lie if someone said that she was not pretty, but Kevin didn't like this one who suffered princess syndrome and thought that yhe whole world spinned around her.
He was expecting the other's reaction, would she act innocent this time and felt wronged or would she apologize as to avoid herself from troubles since the one she faced was not an ordinary one.
"If you feel embarassed from my rescue then learn harder and don't act almighty when you don't even know the basic."
Kevin who heard the response in the corner smiled, he thought to himself "so she chose to be little tigress this time"
