THE CEO’S VENDETTA

Claire collected the phone from Alex to read the message.

“The message came in 7:00am in the morning, and I don’t… you should read it for yourself

“Boy, do not ask any questions, there are many things hidden that you don’t know about. First, your mum is behind all these and she is not relenting, It’s all my fault but, we don’t have time for that right now, you won’t be able to win against your mum if you continue to play safe, I have many information for you but your sister will help in delivering that for now understand this and take action immediately. Mr Henry Matthews, I mean Claire’s father owns 15% share of this company, so that will give you strength for deciding power and also you must make sure I and your mother lose our stand in this company, so that you can solve this issue. Your loving father”.

Claire, not sure of what she’s reading, now very confused instead of being clarified, “ermm, why must they lose their stand and how did my dad own that much”.

“I don’t know either, but as you can see, my dad sent me this message clearly saying you are a major shareholder and that I must make sure they, I mean he and my mum has no right to the decisions in the company, I don’t know why or how, but for the updates but we will find out later”.

“Right now, we are heading to Daniel’s house, because I think there’s a connection between the office incident of leak of information from your desk with the disappearance of the contract and also the pictures that got us in this mess”.

“But, I want you to know that I am not ashamed of making everyone knows that we are lovers, I’m just trying to make sure you don’t have any issues with the contract, also I don’t want any sort of discomfort for you and the baby” Alex this time has his arms wrapped around Claire.

“We are here already sir”.

“Okay, let’s get down Claire” they both got down and marched towards Daniel’s apartment

Laura Miller, she is an ambitious employee with her sights set on advancing in the company.

Richard Brooks, he is the head of VisionTech’s research and development department.

“Wow, I didn’t know you could pull such people” Alex whispered to Daniel, “well, some people are here not because of their acquaintance with Ms Claire but because of you,” he said as he pointed to the people.

“We have Mr Brooks, Mr Wilson, Mr Chang who are here to help you in this quest and we have Mrs Miller, Ms Maria Rodriguez who are here because of Ms Claire, We also have Ms Emily Reynolds your sister, she claims she has something big for you, and I am always here with you. Together with me we are all 7 who has decided to help this matter get settled” Daniel reported as everyone finds their seat

“You can’t start without me, don’t you think so?” Robert came in and gave a wink to Claire, he is a tech-savvy employee at VisionTech who is a good friend to Claire and supports her along the way.

“We are 8 now sir, ” he salutes Alex, “is he not the guy we intended to lay off the last time?” Alex took a serious look at Robert “We ?, Not we, You sir, you said we should lay him off, and I think he is also in the list of those who will be laid off this month” Daniel responded as he stares at Robert

“Sir, please, I need this job, what will I do to keep it, please sir” Robert almost on his knee

“I told you, he is so soft, just because he is a tech guy doesn’t mean he is thickheaded”. Everyone in the room except Robert is already laughing.

“I appreciate you sir for the welcome message, Robert clears his throat, and I am happy that even at the recent happening you can still put out an happy vibe, you are such a great leader”

“I am happy to announce to you that we will be able to solve everything today” He sits and opens up his laptop.

“Can I go on sir?” He faces Alex and then Daniel as they both edged him to go on, “Ms Claire my dear friend, the data we traced the last time is what I will be using to proof that you are not involved in the data leak case”

“First of all, this kiss incident, erm.. really sorry erm.. can I continue please?” Robert said looking at Alex direction

“Scared that you will really get laid off ? Don’t be, Claire is not someone I am willing to hide, she’s the one I love, and I ..” Emily cuts in “this is not the time for love confession, please Mr Robert go ahead”

“Yeah, go ahead, We only have until 1:00pm for this meeting”

“Ok sir, this kiss incident is a gift in disguise, it will divert the press a bit from the data leak issue, but that doesn’t mean the data leak case is no longer on ground”

“That’s true as a matter of fact, our summon is still on in 3 days time, we have this freedom because we reported the case ourselves not that we were sniffed upon” Mr Chang added and passed the baton back to Mr Robert.

“So we will have to use the kiss incident to our advantage, first is that we will send a leak of information to Thornton that says Mr Alex and Ms Claire met in the bar and Ms Claire is not fit for her position in the company, this information will interest them and they will publish it today.
