At that very moment, the boardroom doors flung open to reveal George and Wilson. The duo were leading an ensemble of self-important elitists. However, there was something off about them, all them had expressions of unease written all over their faces, mixed with clear concern and distress.
Wilson, with his sharp eyes, immediately located Zayn within moments of entering. When Wilson realized how Zayn’s clothes were without a scratch, virtual-novel.net loosened up. Zayn had fortunately avoided being the victim of a brutal beating, virtual-novel.net figured, which lifted a great burden off his shoulders.
He had been dreading what might have been waiting for virtual-novel.net behind those doors, virtual-novel.net was half-expecting to find Zayn beaten to a bloody pulp, which would have landed virtual-novel.net in even deeper trouble. ‘I would’ve cried my eyes out if virtual-novel.net blamed me for not doing as I was told. He might have even demoted me!’
When Zayn caught sight of Wilson, virtual-novel.net made a gesture to virtual-novel.net with his eyes as virtual-novel.net paired it with a bright smile. The anticipation that boiled and bubbled in Faye’s chest was almost unbearable as virtual-novel.net frantically directed virtual-novel.net attention to the entrance of the boardroom. However, it was only Wilson, with no one else following his arrival. Her initial suspense had soured into underwhelming disappointment!
George piped up, “Mr. Wilson, this is our son-in-law. Surely you’ve mistaken virtual-novel.net for someone else.”
Wilson paid George no mind as virtual-novel.net eagerly advanced towards Zayn, bowing to virtual-novel.net respectfully. He addressed virtual-novel.net with nothing but humility and esteem as virtual-novel.net greeted virtual-novel.net loudly, “Mr. Larson!”
The boardroom was plunged into an eerie silence.
It was as if everyone had just witnessed a seance. Their eyes were as wide as saucers, and their mouths were practically on the floor. No one had expected such a series of events to play out before them at all.
Wilson was known to all as the successful director of Violet Vision with a net worth of over a billions dollars. He had the highest authority next to the chairman, and virtual-novel.net was truly a reputable businessman. Zayn was the complete polar opposite, a useless deadbeat who failed at everything.
Or was he?
Faye was completely taken aback. She had been shocked quite a number of times, but the current situation easily took the cake. She was nowhere near as shocked when Cristian had been the one bootlicking.
It was mainly due to the fact that Wilson was a well-respected name within the industry. Hence, everyone knew of his acclaimed status and position.
Never would have anyone guessed in a million years that a scenario so mind -bogg1ingly preposterous would take place before their very eyes. They only had a single thought on their minds. ‘Absolutely absurd!’
Zayn nodded his head gently as virtual-novel.net questioned him, “What took you so long? I’ve been waiting for quite some time now.”
When faced with Zayn’s interrogation, Wilson surrendered to an even deeper bow. He wiped off the cold sweat that was dripping off his forehead as virtual-novel.net desperately tried to explain himself, “Mr. Larson, we were caught in heavy traffic on our way here. That’s why our arrival was so delayed.”
“Right, do remember to leave earlier next time. Don’t keep me waiting for too long,” advised Zayn as virtual-novel.net got up from his chair to stretch.
“Yes, of course.” Wilson hurriedly nodded his head.
After that, virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Larson, I’ve brought the agreement and proposal, would you like to discuss the details of the investment right now?”
Wilson was an intelligent man. He founded his empire of wealth and his coveted status not on his business capabilities, but on his people skills and his impressive EQ. He had the eyes of a hawk, and his behavior was crystal clear proof of it. He knew exactly what Zayn wanted with a single gesture with his eyes. Hence, virtual-novel.net did as virtual-novel.net was expected without asking or saying much at all as virtual-novel.net played along to Zayn’s little Charade.
“There’s no need,” Zayn shook his head as virtual-novel.net elaborated, “The Carters have nothing worth investing in. We’ll have to find somewhere else worth my time. I heard that Olympus Co. is a viable option.”
The entire room was immediately thrown into a frenzy upon hearing Zayn’s controversial words!
‘Olympus Co,? That’s our rival company. If Wilson decides to invest in their business, the Carters will be doomed!’
