" I don't believe it, this is impossible", I said while punching my office desk, and that's when my best friend Caleb Jefferson entered into my office. Caleb is my childhood friend . He is the only heir of their company Jefferson&co, he is pretty good but gets irritating at times.

Caleb Came and sat on the couch he crossed his legs and said, " Woow Mj what's with all this punching your hand on the desk?".

I rolled my eyes at my best friend and said ,"The results are out and I am placed second, I don't believe it how can I be the second best CEO when my company is ranked first, there has to be something wrong , this is not possible." I said while sitting opposite to Caleb, he looked clueless on what I was talking about, sometimes I cannot believe myself that this is the guy I call as my best friend, knowing he wasn't going to figure it out by himself.

I started, "You know the competition which is held Evey 10 years for the title of the best CEO and the best company", at that time I guess he started to understand.

finally he said ," oh that competition but wait wasn't this just a survey, you know the competition is after 9 months that's basically the second survey but you still have time, By the way I'm curious, who beat the great cold hearted Max Johnson?".

" ohh this is horrible your supposed to be my friend you know how important this competition is to me, the winner would be titled as the best CEO for the next ten years which is a lot and it would really help improve my company's reputation."

Caleb let out a sigh and said
" MJ for God's sake your company is already at the no 1 position, so stop freaking out and chill, but wait you still haven't answered my question, who beat you?"

"Caleb you are pathetic, and the person who beat me is some girl named Kiara case." Caleb raised his eyebrow probably in surprise and then said " oh my God did I just hear that right the great Max Johnson is beaten by a girl, Wooow now that's a news."
After saying this he burst out laughing, at that moment I felt like punching the color out of his pretty little face, but then suddenly my phone started beeping, I stood up and went to the other side of my office which gave a perfect view of the New York City, answering the call I said, "hello Max Johnson speaking"

" hello Mr Johnson this is Drake Warner speaking from the board of directors, we would like to meet you at 4:00 today in my office I hope you'll be there good byeee" he hung up on me without listening to my answer. Who the hell does he think he is at thst time I didn't realize that I said that out loud, Caleb came from back and he placed a hand on my shoulder probably aware that I was fuming with rage first the second place and now this stupid board meeting, there is just one thing I hate about being the CEO is you've got to attend a lot of board meetings which become either too boring or too irritating.

I let out a sigh and checked my watch it was 3:00 pm so I had almost an hour.

I was busy with my thoughts when I heard Caleb clear his throat I looked towards him and said, "Common buddy we've got a board meeting to attend", he was not invited but hell I was not going in that stupid meeting alone, and surprisingly he did not argue. Caleb and I left the building at almost 3:30pm the drive from my company to Mr Warner's company was almost 45 mins, I new I was going to be late but

Hyyyy I'm Max Johnson the person who people wait for, I do not wait for anyone and that's why I like to be fashionably late. We reached the office at 4:15 and we went straight up to the conference room entering the room.
I met three familiar faces one of them was of course Drake Warner, he was in his mid 80s, he had grey hair a straight face and a French grey beard I sometimes wonder why is he still running the company and is a part of the board.
