Carry Me home (Hosie)

Chapter 32: I Will Protect You

Hope was finally in her office as she talked to MG about the current situation she was facing in her company. Hope was looking through paperwork, flipping pages in her folder, while MG stood in front of the girls desk. "For the most part there has been a lot of back tracking in preparation for the Art Center. Most of the stuff that we ordered won't get done on time. The manager in charge is already dealing with major backlash with his factory" MG began to inform Hope.

"Yes I am aware. I already started looking into another factories to get us the supplies that we need." Hope leaned back onto her chair. She looked at the boy for a bit before turning her attention towards the window. "Once I've found the root of the problem, I began to make arrangements. I am also aware of some internal troubles. I'm pretty sure Sienna is trying to make this harder for me. Little deals here and there, even going as far as sabotaging our internal relationships. After processing that information I knew I had to take preventive measures."

MG was a little confused as he read through the files in his hand once more. "But Sienna and Mikaelson industries have been partners for a long time."

"MG it's a game of poker. If sienna plays their cards right, they could control 90% of the market. It is a risk that they are willing to take. So, we must just be careful and tread lightly. This way, we can stay ahead of them and checkmate them in time." Hope opened her laptop and began to look at some data. "Just continue to look into the matter at hand and I promise we won't have a problem" MG smiled at the boss and walked out of her office.

What am I hesitating for? Hope admonished herself. Right from the start, Roman wanted my company, not just that but wanted me to suffer after destroying his company and forcing him to go bankrupt. Hope shook her thoughts away. She needed to clear her head and what better way then making her way up into the roof. Hope need to make her way into her own private garden an area where only she could enjoy herself alone in peace.

As she was walking the halls towards the elevator a group of employees made their way towards the C.E.O herself. "Ms.Mikaelson I need to talk to you" Ethan was leading the pack of employees behind him.

"Im very busy right now. Book an appointment" Hope was about to pass the group but Ethan stopped her.

"I can't afford to wait. More waiting could result in Mikaelson industries closing without our knowledge. Spending so much time and resources in an Art Center that has no value to the company. It nearly disrupted production. It's obviously favoritism." Ethan crossed his arms. Hope was getting irritated by the second but kept her cool.

"Now the Art center is going wrong with low quality products and supplies. It's going to adversely affect confidence in other Mikaelson products. That's why the stock market has plummeted. Ms Mikaelson if I may ask what will you do about this?" The group that was behind Ethan began to chatter amongst themselves. Hope took a deep breath and thought.

"So far, factories that produce our products have gone through quality tests. The Art center has the best quality in products at the moment. There is no issue in wasted resources. I'm adding our tech products to the community to use and experience first hand. How is that showing favoritism" Hope crossed her arms.

"Art Center does not fit with the luxury and bio tech that is Mikaelson industries. You try so hard for Josette Saltzman. You only care about your relationship and don't put company interests first. All of us are aware of your relationship with Josette." Ethan laughed showing the C.E.O and image on his cell phone of the two together eatting dinner.

"It wasn't a secret." Hope said in a less then calm tone.

"How could a C.E.O be so close to an employee? You behave so intimately. Touching her face, hair, and head"
