Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: illegitimate child

 

 

"You are welcome, Mr. Alex Meyer, to the Meyers group of companies."

 

"I'm happy to be here today!" Alex said to him with a smile on his face as they both exchanged a handshake. 

 

With their brief conversation and how politely he greeted him as he entered, Andy greeted him. It shows that he is really brilliant. 

 

Andy Smith was just a twenty-seven-year-old. He achieves a lot at a young age due to the level of his hard work and consistency. He is a handsome, talented, and brilliant young man. 

 

This was the first time Alex had met Andy Smith in person. Both his father and mother constantly said good things about him before they died. But this was the first time Alex had seen him in person. 

 

"Once again! You are welcome to the Meyer group of companies. Barrister. Linda has explained everything to me in detail. Don't worry about anything. All you have to do for me right now is put your signature on this document. Afterward, we can organize a board meeting and announce you as the new Chief Executive Officer of the company!" 

 

"You don't have to do that!" As a matter of fact, I'm not going to be coming here every day. Anytime you have something from me or a meeting, you can do that online. I don't want anyone to know I'm the new owner of the company!" Alex said to him, sitting gently in front of Andy's desk. 

 

Andy Smith's office has a big screen on the wall since they used Meyer's company to mentor the underground mining and the petroleum process. The big screen on the wall is an advanced CCTV camera used by most multinational companies to measure and record the amount of crude oil and petroleum with other products they produce, measure the amount of petroleum they produce in a day, and to monitor all the activities going on in the company in different sectors. 

 

The office is made of a big space, and the distance from the entrance to where Andy Smith's desk was located is about one minute away from each other. 

 

"I understand your point, Alex! I'm here to serve you and help you to streamline the process of how to take the company to the next level. Just give me instructions, and I will deliver the service!" 

 

"Fantastic!" Daniel replied. 

 

At that moment, the head of the security team knocked on the door and went into Andy Smith's office to give him a report. 

 

"Good afternoon, sirs!" He greeted them politely. 

 

"Afternoon! How are you doing today? How can I help?" Andy asked the security leader multiple questions at the same time.

 

"I'm fine, sir. Two young ladies are outside waiting for you on the third floor. They both came here last week to see the regional manager, but he wasn't around, and they requested to meet you instead!" The security officer said to the manager with his head bowed. 

 

"Just a minute, please, Mr. Alex?" The manager took permission from Alex before he replied to the security who came to his office. 

"Who are those ladies ?, and what are their names?" Andy asked him surprisingly, as he was surprised by what the security forces had just said. He wasn't aware of any visitors who were ladies coming to Meyers' company today!

 

"I guess they are Mrs. Loveth's daughters!" 

 

"Ohh! , You mean Sofie and Laila?" The manager asked him again just to be sure. 

 

"Yes! They are the ones. One of them has a little skin and the other one is fair in complexion!" said the security guard as he described the visitor. 

 

Andy said to him instantly, "Tell them to wait for me outside on the second floor; I'm having a meeting with an important figure in our company right now!" 

 

"Okay, sir!" The security officer said, and he left the office immediately. 

 

As the security man left the room and the entrance door was closed, Alex asked immediately, "Are they also workers of the company? Why are they coming here today?" 

 

"They are not part of our staff; they are just board members of the company, and they come to Meyers headquarters every time we sign a new deal with an investor. We only see them when the new money from the deal is signed! That was the rule stated by Mrs. Loveth, who was Mr. Meyers's wife before he died", Andy explained.

 

All the flamboyant lifestyles that both Laila and Sofie had been living for so long, all the money was coming directly from Meyers' company. They don't work for the company, but all they do is work for the company. Anytime they sign a new deal, they take their share of the money and spend it on their lifestyle. 

Several million have been paid to their account countless times. All they do is party, travel to different hotels, and at the end of the year they receive a salary from the company as a ghost worker and share any investment deal that the company signs. 

 

Alex uttered in a cold voice, "From now on, I don't want to see any of Mrs. Loveth's daughters in Meyers' company anymore. Cutting off the salary they received from the company every month as a ghost worker, including shares, always came on time. Meyers' company signed a new deal with the company! Including Mrs. Loveth, no one in their family must receive a penny from the company again from now on. If Mrs. Loveth or her earn a dime from this company, you will lose out on your manager of Meyer's company!" 

 

"What!" Andy gasped in shock and surprise. 

 

Andy was startled and shocked for a while, figuring that someone had hinted to Alex before he came to the office. On how Mrs. Loveth and her two daughters extorted money from the company illegitimately. Definitely, they might have offended him, and he wanted to punish them the hard way! 

 

"I understood everything you said just right now! I have also been thinking about it for a while, and I also informed the barrister. Linda about it. We tried our best to stop them from coming to the company, but Mrs. Loveth threatened to sack all the board members if that decision was implemented. Now that you are the new Chief Executive Officer of the company, and they are no longer part of the company, the information will be passed across every department. I'll order the security team to ban them from entering Meyers's company!" Andy nodded vigorously, and he exclaimed.

 

 

"Both Laila and Sofie are illegitimate children of my father! No one can eat from what they did not sow!" Alex roared, then he continued, "Tell them Meyers' company is not a place for them to extort illegitimate money and use that to leave a flamboyant lifestyle. They are not part of the Meyer family, so they asked the security team to ban them from entering this company as of today!" 

 

Immediately, Andy Smith picked up one of the phones on his desk and called the security team. Explained everything to them in detail, then he hung up on the call. 

 

Neither Laila nor her younger sister was aware of what was happening on the top floor as they waited anxiously on the first floor for the manager to finish with his meeting. 

 

 

Laila and her younger sister Sofie have already planned how to spend the seventy-eight million dollars that is coming from the company as their share of the new deal they just signed with the Arabian investors. All they do in their entire life is party, club, and travel to different expensive hotels in different parts of the world. Moving from one location to another, buying an expensive living, and living a flamboyant lifestyle as if they truly worked for it, but instead, they are just extorting money illegitimately from the company using their mother's influence. 

 

 

Now that Alex is the new chief executive officer of the company, the least expected thing just happened to them. 

 

The head of the security team approached them with his colleagues. At first, they were happy when they saw him coming out of the manager's office. Unfortunately, it wasn't what they expected.

 

"Can we go in? We have been waiting for a long time. We don't have time to waste here!" Sofie asked in confusion as they saw the security men. 

Instead, the security officer glared at her coldly and said, "No, you can't! I'm sorry, you need to leave now; as of today, you are no longer allowed to come to Meyers' company. You are both illegitimate children of Meyer's family, wasting much of our time. You need to leave immediately!" 

 

"What did you just say? Illegitimate child of the family? Are you trying to insult both me and my sister? You must be stupid for that!" 

 

"Yes, you are both illegitimate children of the family!" The security officer repeated his last statement. 

 

Laila was extremely in shock, and her jaw almost dropped to the floor. They were surprised by the sudden turn of events. Something had transpired at the last minute between the companies. 

 

"Laila! But I asked you before we came if you had gotten permission from the manager, and you told me yes! So what has happened now that makes him call us an illegitimate child of the family and even have the guts to ban us from the company? Sofie said, frowning. 

 

"Yes, I did! I just don't understand what is unfolding right now! Who the hell does he think he is, calling us illegitimate children of the family?" 

 

Laila felt a surge of blood flooding her head, exploding inside. 

 

What the hell is this rubbish happening right now? 

 

Banned us from entering the company?

 

All the money they spent on vacation, visiting different nightclubs, travelling to different clubs, and living a flamboyant lifestyle all came from Meyers' company. 

 

Most nine-star hotels and restaurants, including nightclubs, know them very well as their top-tier customers, due to their extravagant spending anytime they visit a hotel or restaurant. 

 

After they had planned their vacation to Seychelles and Qatar, things turned around, and an unexpected event unfolded before them. 

 

"Are you sure of what you are saying?" Laila asked the security man, trying to control her emotions. 

 

No, they can never believe this to be true. They cannot just accept such a cruel fact. Sofie growled loudly, "If this can't be possible, we need to see the manager ourselves if I want him to say all this statement to us in person! If he is very confident about what he just said, calling us illegitimate children of the family! What rubbish!"

 

The head officer of the security team simply glared at him coldly. "He is currently busy attending to an important figure in his office. You cannot see him right now, even in the future!" 

 

"You must be stupid for still repeating the same thing!" Sofie glared at him loudly as she tried to enter the office forcefully. 

 

Immediately, Laila also shouted in dismay, "Don't tell me all this you are saying is true? We have been coming to Meyers headquarters for the past decade, and no one has ever dared us like this before, even to exist to call us an illegitimate child of the family! Since we have been coming, we haven't done anything wrong to the company! How dare he stop us from coming into the company? Allow us to enter the office and don't mess with us!" 

 

After some hours of commotion between the security team and both Sofie and Laila. Finally, the security head officer ignored their screaming and instructed the security beside him, "What are you still waiting for? Officer. In a mere second, I didn't want to see them again. Kick them out of the building!" 

 

In mere seconds, the security team jumped on them. They pushed them forward disrespectfully straight to the elevator hall and warned the security team downstairs to kick them out of the company. 

 

Both Laila and Sofie yelped in pain, and the head of the security team snorted coldly, "Don't ever move closer to this building again if I see your brick lights. You will be approved as a thief, and you will both be arrested!" 

 

"Nonsense! You are just a mere security guard. How dare you talk to us in that way? You dare to threaten us. Don't worry, just prepare yourself for battle and promise that you will lose your job when you come back !, idiot!" 

 

Before Sofie could complete her statement, one of the security guards immediately gave her a dirty slap for speaking to their boss rudely across her face twice, and she shouted, "You are all dead today!"
