Chapter 5: Getting What He Wanted
"Who are you?" Jonathan didn't bother knocking the door, he just bathed in the the secretary couldn't even stop him.
"Sorry sir, I tried to stop him from entering" The secretary came running after him.
"It's fine Janet, you can go" James only waved his hand to dismiss her.
"Yes, how may I help you?" Knowing fully well who was standing in front of him, James pretended he didn't know him and asked innocently.
"I am the rightful heir of the Baron family, how can you take away my position, if this is some kind of joke, then you had better stop it, tomorrow, I will be the president, I'll be lenient on you then"
"Tomorrow you think you will be president, but today I am already the president so everything will be done my way this time".
James was not only talking about the affairs of the company, but he intended to creep into the Baron family until he finally climbs the ladder and aimed his position as the first young master of the Baron family.
"You have no right to do this, an outsider like you can't be the president, just get away from this seat, you don't deserve it"
"Oh like you do?" James fired back, "Seems I will have to exhibit my power first before you'll know who I really am."
James casually picked up the telephone and dialed the security line.
The next minute, four hefty men appeared into the office and greeted James with respect.
"Mr. Baron".
Jonathan almost answered when he heard the title but James beat him to it, and because no one really knows what the young masters of the Baron family looks like, the men naturally follows their instincts and obeyed the man sitting behind the big office table.
"Get rid of this man, I don't want to see him again"
James didn't have mercy when discharging the orders, he wanted to be feared for people, this was one of the best way to exercise his power, by chasing people away.
"But sir …,"
The men hesitated because they are aware of Jonathan as the head of the marketing and sales department for five years now and since then, he had never been involved in any act that would warrant him being disgracefully pulled out by the security men.
"What are you waiting for , I am the boss and I said you should throw him out of my office."
Bring reminder if who the boss was, the people no longer hesitated, they approached him but still didn't touch him.
Jonathan has always been an understanding man, he understood their predicament and decided to save them the trouble if it turns out that the man was done hot shot.
He left the office dejected but still determined to find answers, so he drove straight back home to his father, Master John, it seems only he could answer this question.
"Mr. Baron, you are back".
The maid welcomed him at the door and gestured go collect his brief case like she always did but Jonathan scuffed at her, right now, the title Mr. Baron was just like a joke to him after the humiliation he has faced.
"How could you father, how could you !"
The moment Jonathan sighted his father sitting at the center of the dinning table, he stormed and immediately attacked him.
"Sorry son, I thought you would eat at the social gathering you mentioned earlier so I didn't wait for you, but you can join me now, Lisa… bring more food for the young master.."
Mr. Baron was so carried away inviting the maid to bring more food that he didn't notice his son fuming with anger beside him.
Thinking that his son was angry because they were not eating together, but he didn't know that food was the least of Jonathan's worries.
"Didn't you say that I'll be the president tomorrow? Then look at this and explain it clearly to me."
John Baron collected the phone from his hand and saw the headline;
"Today the board of members had a meeting and deemed it the perfect time for a new president, presenting Mr. J Baron.."
"What is this son, why did you print this news without waiting for tomorrow, don't be too eager, it's not good for business"
"What business damn it, this is not my doing, can't you understand a simple things? You explain to me the meaning of this, there's someone in your office right now who claims to be the new president of Baron enterprise, even the company's social media account says so"
Mr. John Baron was speechless.
The seriousness in the tone of his son was not one to joke with, he had always been with him ever since he was young.
In all these twenty seven years they've spent together, never had he heard Johnson raise his voice at him like this.
Whenever he wanted one thing, he would ask him gently with a pleading look, that was why Master John would always grant him his heart desire whatever it was except for that one thing that he yearned the most.
That is to succeed his father and be the President of the Baron Enterprise.
That was the only wish that that Master John did not fulfill not because he didn't trust his son to handle the position very well.
But he intentionally kept his son's identity hidden from the public and asked him to start with being the manager of the marketing and sales department so that he would be able to understand the business work and gain first hand information about the company.
Then when he is finally introduced to the general public as Johnathan Baron, the first young Master of the Baron house, and he assumes his position as the President of Baron enterprise, it will cause a stair on the internet.
His popularity will be skyrocketed with double magnitude, this will be good both for business and for the Baron name.
All these was supposed to happen tomorrow, all the plan have been put in place, but now, he heard that Baron had already announced its new president, that too without his consent as the current president of Baron enterprise, to say that he was furious is an understatement.
He checked the news again and again just to make sure he had read the correct thing, he became furious when he saw the name J Baron, who uses abbreviations when introducing himself?
There is only one person as such, James, it must be him.
