Chapter 9 - Chapter Nine

"Good morning Mr grey, the chairman is here to see you. Should I let him in?." Sophia ringed me to let me know. Sigh. "Let him in." I said after deciding. He walked in looking so very angry. I knew I was in for some lecturers and warning right now.

"Good morning, dad.' I greeted. "What is good about this morning, Alex. All you've done is cause this family nothing but ruins and scandals." He yelled. Deciding not to argue with him, I stared at him as he yelled. "Have you seen the new today?" I ignored the question. I have, but how does it matter to me, it wasn't really a article about me.

"You got information about the family's painting, and it didn't ring in your head, you are suppose to inform the family about it. You keep doing things because Alex does what Alex want, now one painting is already damaged." He yelled. I got angry, why will should i be blamed for the painting, I did what he couldn't, he couldn't find the paintings I did.

"It's not my fault that the painting was damaged. Maybe if you have acted fast enough you would have gotten to the painting before I did." I retorted.

His face turned red in anger but I didn't care, He wanted so much to speak but lost His voice to anger.

He stormed out of the office in rage, not like I give a shit. Liam walked in, why looking back, "What happened, the chairman looks angry?." "Liam are you here to ask me stupid question? or submit the report from HR department?." I questioned. "Both." He replied.

"Liam, drop it and leave." I paid no attention to him, as I gave my full concentration to my work. "I was thinking maybe it is time we call the swayer for the compensation, i'm missing her smiley face.

I shot him a glare, but he kept on talking ignoring the fact that I was getting pissed. "You know she is as mean as they refer her to be, so far she hasn't been on a date with anyone for the past four years, he said as he counted four with his hands, and also she has rejected every suitor and man that comes her way." He said more like stated some fact.

"I can see you have a death wish." I said in a low voice. "Why would i?, do you like her." Liam teased. "GET OUT OF MY OFFICE" I yelled. "Calm down man, I was only joking." He laughed. "Then don't joke like that." I said with a serious face, to show him I wasn't kidding, but Lian been liam, couldn't help but still tease. "Why are you overly protective of her, you've only met her just once, maybe twice. Do you like her?." He moved his brows, making it go up and down.

"Get out, get out Liam" I removed my shoe, throwed it at him while he dodged and ran out of my office laughing, I couldn't help but smile, but was interrupted by a knock. "Come in." I called out. "Sir you have a board meeting in five minutes." Sophia announced. "Okay." "Here sir." She handed me my shoe. "Thank you!." I mouthed.

"How can they?." I thumbled anything they came in contact with me. I could hear most of the employees whispers. "He is having his mod swings again"." Wonder what got him so upset?". "We better stay clear off him, I don't want to be fired today." Their whispers added more to my anger. 'Is this what I pay you all for? Gossip amongst yourself? I see you all want to be fired?." I yelled at them, they all scattered from their groups while retreating yo their designated offices.

"Alex, Alex. Stop it." Liam approached me and collected the vase I was about smashing. Placing it back at Sophia desk, he apologized and lead me into my office. Sophia wasn't as scared as others, because she was used to seeing me like this.

Liam held his palm up yo his head in frustration. "What the fuck is your problem?." "My problem, is why the f**k would Malcolm, challenge me in competency of who is fit to handle this company." "Alex this whole ranting and destroying things of yours won't help. We need to think of a solution." Liam beckoned me to sit down, while we draft out a plan.

"We all know your father has 65 percent of the company, it would be given to you only if you are married. A contracted marriage is still marriage, you could pay some one for it, and after ascertaining the remaining shares of the company, you file for a divorce." Liam suggested. His suggestion wasn't bad at all, I pondered on his words. Everyone would be willing to be my Mrs, looking for a candidate wouldn't be hard. I would stick with liam's plan.

Malcolm Grey, my uncle has always had an eye for the CEO position of helix corporation, In terms of shares of the company he has 25 percent, while I had 15 percent share of the company. I know my Mr Gabriel Grey my dad, would never sit still and watch his brother Malcolm take over helix corporation, but he is unpredictable. I know i'm not the favorite child of the family, I'm actually seen as the black sheep of the family, but feared by all, but It wouldn't be impossible if my dad hands over the company to someone else just to price a point, that he can do whatever he wants. Not with me, I am Alexander, a man meant not to be messed with, rule applies for family too.

' I'm definitely gonna show him why and how I have been able to survive in the field of business.' I thought.

"Do you have anyone in mind?" Liam asked, still cracking his brain for a suitable candidate.

"No need to rack your brain, we already have a perfect candidate." I told him, a smile crept to my face as I thought of my idea. "Place a call over to Amber swayer." I could see both disbelief, joy and sadness all over Liam's face. "Why her?." He asked. "She seems to be the only perfect candidate for the requirement." I responded almost immediately. "You are just too much, always taking peoples joy" liam thought to himself.

"I just placed the call, the meeting is scheduled at Jones restaurant." Liam informed me. "Thanks pal." I patted his shoulder before stepping out of the office for a brief meeting with some client.

"Good evening mister Greg, liam" she and her friend greeted us both, before taking their sits. 'She looks same' I thought.
