Hey guys am so sorry for the mix up of chapters 16 and 17 for those who read it again I appreciate but I have extracted so here's chapter 17
*************************
The week went smoothly, classes went along as usual, Damion continued his treatment at home and healed faster than normal much to the doctor surprise
Friday morning decided to skip school to go and see the company he bought, he didn't Theodore where he going he just hinted it important
Damion stood in front of the company building with a frown on his face, the painting was wearing out, the front grasses weren't treamed well, it seems like the previous heads didn't really treat it
He tried walking in but was stopped by security and was asked his purpose, at least the security system is working Damion thought as he glanced at this guard
" Am here for a meeting" Damion replied honestly
" A what" The guard asked again
" A meeting" Damion replied with confidence
The guard gave him a dubious look before searching him and referring him to the receptionist stand, Damion nodded at him
" Please which level is the board meeting being held" Damion asked the receptionist
" Erm, do you have an appointment " The young lady asked him quite shocked to see a 19 year old asking for the board meeting location
" Actually I do, Gustavo Adolfo by 10, this is 9:30 and I wouldn't like to be late" Damion spoke politely
" Let me see" The lady looked through the list and was shocked to see his name there, she looked back up and just like the guard gave him a dubious look
Damion couldn't blame her, he was young plus according to Theodore daily praising he knew he had a handsome face so she must have probably took him as a rich spoilt kid to spell trouble
" Hello Gustavo Adolfo is here for the board" She Called the board with the telephone
" You can go, its the highest floor" She said dropping the phone
" Thanks" Damion said and walked towards the elevator, he looked at it for a while before realizing he didn't know how to operate it
" Darn" Damion muttered he waited a bit to see if a person would come but no one came, he slowly browsed how to operate an elevator system in his phone
Using the instructions he got in and pressed the button to the highest floor
*************************
Members of the board patient waiting for 10 to welcome their new Boss, most of them had given up hope as the company went bankrupt
The company was a comestic and accessory one but in the recent years they have been kicked out from the market by the competition
All their investors quietly pulled away and they were on the verge of total collapse most of the workers had already prepared to start looking for a new job
So it was quite surprising that someone wanted to buy the company, they immediately agreed and the person set up a meeting today to meet them
The members decided to lit a candle of hope for the company and come and meet him so the could save the company but the strange thing was he mandated an 19 year participated in the meeting, it was a problem just strange
Also the also have no idea what he looked like so they could only wait for the meeting to start. Some of the members were with the company since it was established 20 years ago and weren't willing to see it crumble
" This will work right" a female middle aged asked
" Let's hope for the best Tiana" A late middle aged answered
Just then Damion walked into the meeting room and greeted them respectfully before asking for the company Proceedings for the past years, due to the earlier instruction of their boss they decided to give it to him
Damion quietly thanked them and walked away from the board table to study them earnings the gazes of the other board members
****************************
"Sigh"
The situation was worse than Damion thought, from the company's info given to him
the once prosperous company was now desolate, the previous CEO just wanted to fill his pockets and didn't care about the effect on the company
Not just that their products weren't all that current, even though he was locked up away from the world for 17yrs he still some current news and the product weren't all that current, they needed better designers
The accounts given to him were all tempered showing the amount of embezzlement that was occuring, not just time after time they would lose an investment they were about to win which means their was some one selling them out
In short was a hot mess that was in need of serious help he glanced over to the board members patiently, most of them were in their forties just few were in their late thirties and twenties, They needed fresh minds.
He checked this phone to realize it was 10 minutes after 10 he closed the file and walked to the first chair in the board probably for the CEO and took a seat
" Okay sorry we're starting late can we start the meeting" Damion said much to the shock of the board members
They all sat frozen and looked at Damion as if he was an alien
" Are you perhaps Mistaken Mr. Gustavo" A board members spoke
" No, am not starting from today am your New CEO well temporary till your real CEO can come" Damion spoke calmly with an indifferent look on his face
" Is this some kind of Joke" Another board member angrily stood up
" just because we are bankrupt doesn't give you or the "Boss" to mess with us like this" Another backed him up
" Okay can you all calm down, I know it's strange that am your New CEO cause I might look young and inexperienced but I can assure I want this company to flourish once again" Damion replied calmly showing no emotions to the guys who were agitated
" Child don't you know your place, you shouldn't be here with the elders" An aged member spoke
" I see so" Damion spoke with a very chilling voice
The temperature in the meeting dropped extremely low and gave all the board members shivers
" If you don't like the recent arrangements you are all free to leave, do ensure you give us your resignation letter" Damion spoke with a very chilling cold aura
All members instantly kept quiet not willing to believe they were being intimidated to this extent by a teenager
" Screw this you will receive my letter by tomorrow, can't wait to see this place in rumbles" The man who angrily stood up first said gritting his teeth and walked out
The man who supported him also left slowly most of the board members left leaving just 5 of the remaining including the aged member, Tiana and 3 others who were original starters of the company
" I guess you guys have decided to stay" Damion spoke without the chilling aura
" Look Kid were staying not because of you but we can't bear to see this company fall" The Elder said
" Yeah" Tiana supported
The other 3 didn't speak but they nodded their heads in agreement
Damion nodded and replied
" That's fine enough for me, we all have the same goal, so with that let's get this Meeting started"
