Luke silently watched as Beatrice laid on the bed with a smile on her face, he would have loved to join her but he had to work.
He had admitted to himself that he indeed had feelings for her, how couldn't he? looking at her beautiful face and caring personality.
Though he did not know to what extent it was, he just knew his heart was softening around her.
He smiled and left for his study.
Luke woke up in his study to find out he slept in his study, he freshened up and went down to find breakfast on the table but Beatrice was gone, he sat down had his breakfast and also left for work.
Back in Beauty Foundation HQ a serious meeting was going on with Beatrice chairing the meeting with a serious look. Today she wore a black gown with long sleeves making her look serious.
Mega Corporation had pull out of their offer and had left Gold Country without a word, the Ceo chosen to replace Beatrice was not doing very well and had caused them major loses in profit.
Most of their distributors and partness have also backed out of their agreement with them and are willing to even pay the compensation for the breach in contract.
The distributors and other partners thought that Beauty Foundation had somehow pissed Mega Corporation, and knowing how petty Mega Corporation was,
they didn't need a fully functioning brain to know they would strike back and when that happened they definitely don't want to be in the crossfire.
"Madam chairwoman, we called you today to reinstate you back as the ceo" shamelessly said one of the board members.
The others also nodded their heads in approval as they had all come to the same conclusion.
Beatrice emotionlessly glanced at the hypocrites in the room before landing on Steve who had his eyes closed and had landed the company in this mess because of his greed.
The audacity and shamelessness to even show his face here was a feat in itself.
This her greedy vice president wanted the company for himself. She had always been weary of him after she noticed how he bought his shares.
He had initially owned a small percentage of the shares, but after his investment company made it big he began to buy shares little by little using different personas before transferring it all to his.
Beatrice would have never let such a threat happen under her, but she was too late to stop Steve.
After he had gotten almost thirty percent of the shares, he bought favours and bribed majority of the shareholders to his side using despicable means.
Since then he's been trying to swallow the company fully.
"Steve if you knew you were this incompetent then why did you even bother to take my position.
Trash like you should know your place and not get into our way, you can just sit home and wait for your dividends instead of running my company with incompetence.
That goes to all of you too" Beatrice said coldly as she glanced at the people in the meeting room with disdain.
Steve pretended to not have heard her and just gave her a smile but only he knew the sinister things he had planned for Beatrice.
"This company will soon be mine and we'll see how arrogant you can get" he thought to himself as his grin became wider.
This pissed Beatrice very much .
A few days passed and Beatrice relationship with Luke was greatly moving forward while she managed to get the company under her control and appease her partners.
Today she wore a grey suit with a matchings skirt with her head tied behinds her making her look professional.
She was going through her files in the office when she heard a commotion outside. She removed her glasses and Walked out of her office only to see men in black suits ransacking the place and taking all the files and computer hard drives with them.
When some of the men in black saw her, they walked towards her office but Ellen came and stood Infront of them blocking them.
"You can enter here" she shouted aggressively, Beatrice was a loss for words until she saw an old man approach her with his men.
He pulled out his badge and showed to Beatrice "We are from the revenue authority and we have a warrant here to search and seize anything we find suspicious here and can be used as evidence".
He pulled another warrant " This is a warrant for your arrest for the crimes of tax evasion against the country" he went on to recite the Miranda warning before asking Beatrice to lead the way.
Because of her status, the old man decided to spare her the handcuffs.
Beatrice was in a daze as she was being led to the Revenue authority HQ, before she entered their car she saw Steven smirking at her making her heart sink and giving her a bad premonition.
