Amanda escorted Derek to a private elevator in the Quinton Tower. It was easy to tell that it was a private elevator because there were only a few buttons that connect to the top floors of the building.
Once inside the elevator, Derek asked, "So, which level is my new office located?"
"The top floor, boss. You'll love the office. I promise you that." replied Amanda confidently, with a wide smile on her face.
"Wow. You sound very confident. That's a good trait to have. I look forward to your work."
"Thank you, boss. I'm really excited to work for you." Amanda replied.
Ding!
"We're here boss. Welcome to your new office." Amanda ushered Derek in.
At first sight, Derek was blown away when he stepped in. The office space itself was the similar to a small startup, full of top-of-the-line furniture, lighting and amenities.
"Allow me to show you around, boss." offered Amanda.
"Yes, please. Hey, are you sure this is my office? This looks more like a small yet luxurious condo apartment!" Derek replied with a look of shock.
"Haha, this is your office boss. Let me give you a tour. On your left, we have a bar and a shower facility. Guests of yours dropping by can enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or wine. As for the shower, well Mr. Owen said he foresees that you may have to attend prestigious events directly from your office. It's of utmost importance to him that you freshen up thoroughly before attending such events."
"I noticed that you bought a couple of suits and shoes on your way here. There's a closet next to the shower for you to hang your suits and keep your shoes. You have a personal helper on standby to bring your suits for dry cleaning anytime you see fit."
"Your desk is facing the elevator. In front of your desk is a sitting area for your guests and visitors. The furniture provided are of the highest quality. You can only find such furniture in the houses of the wealthiest in Townsville. The chair behind your desk is made with the best memory foam available in the market. Mr. Owen wants you to have the best level of comfort while conducting your business."
"Finally, you may have noticed two things; firstly, the entire office has Plexiglas walls. This gives you a full panoramic view of the city of Townsville from the top of the Quinton Tower. Secondly and more importantly, there are a few documents on your desk. These are documents you need to sign to officially take over the ownership of the companies under the Quinton Consortium that are located here in Townsville. Please peruse them carefully before signing off."
Derek proceeded to sit on his chair. Immediately, he could feel the comfort provided by the memory foam. This reminded him of his bed in his room of the Quinton Mansion. Had it not been for the cappuccino he had in the morning, he swore he would have fallen asleep sitting on his chair.
"This chair is really comfortable. Thanks for preparing the documents, Amanda. However, I must admit I am not so familiar with signing official documents. Get Owen and our legal team up here and let's go through all the documents together."
"Will do boss. I'll contact them immediately."
Over the next two hours, Derek, Amanda and Owen studied through every technicality of each document with their legal team. Derek paid close attention to everything discussed and explained to him before signing off on each document. Listening to everyone in the room also allowed him to understand each company he will be taking over.
Eventually, Derek finished signing off all the necessary documents. He is now the new head honcho of all Townsville located companies under the Quinton Consortium.
"Ok. That's all for now. Thank you, team." Derek was exhausted after signing off on the documents but he was relieved and satisfied.
"Owen, have Hector drive here and wait for me at the entrance. Amanda, I'll see you here tomorrow first thing in the morning. We'll get started with studying these companies over the next two months." instructed Derek.
"Will do boss. See you tomorrow." replied Amanda.
"I'll see you tomorrow too, Young Quinton." replied Owen.
With that, Owen, Amanda and the legal team exited Derek's office.
With everyone out of his office, Derek looked out one side the glass walls facing the Townsville business district and soaked up the sight of the whole area, as well as the suburbs surrounding the business district, far as his eyes can see.
He sighed as he thought to himself, 'Metaphorically speaking, Townsville is full of meadows and minefields; and they are randomly scattered all over.'
'Today is day one. When I'm done, all who try to plot against me will explode and burn in the minefields; while those who care for me, I will make sure they enjoy the serenity of the meadows.'
After gathering himself, Derek exited his office, out of Quinton Tower and into the family Rolls Royce where Hector was waiting for him. Hector then drove Derek back to the Quinton Mansion, where he could not wait to see his parents again after an interesting first day; not only in the HNW zone but as his real self, Derek Quinton.
