THE CEO’S VENDETTA

And as that happens we will host a press conference where you will announce your relationship and hold your wedding ceremony, that will make other conglomerates who we work with congratulate you and then their relations with the press will work to our advantage.

Immediately this happens we will publish the evidence that their claim is wrong, we will give the press evidence that proves Thornton to be false with their claim and we will proceed with the court proceedings and wedding preparation.

I’m very certain that Thornton is connected to this issue and once we do this, people will lose trust in them, so when we give out our simple evidence of their evil act, it will surely look big”

As soon as Mr Roberts finished speaking he asked if anyone had an opinion, then Maria asked if Thornton had been given the Intel yet. “Yes, I sent it already, right now, Mr Thornton will be on call with the director of Thornton Press about this”.

“I would like to relieve myself,” Maria responded, “can I use your restroom please?”

“Yeah sure, you can” Daniel responded and Maria left.

“Is it intact” Robert asked “yeah it is”

Soon they started hearing Maria’s conversation with someone. And afterwards she spoke with another person

While she was speaking they decided to just record while they explain what’s going on to others

Daniel spoke up, “Robert came to me with an analyzed file, two to be precise, one from Ms Claire and the other from Ms Maria.

“The first analysis proves that one of the two reports uses Thornton’s sequence of arrangements while the other uses a general sequence.

The one that uses Thornton’s sequence of arrangements is Maria’s, while the one that uses a general sequestered is Ms Claire’s.

Also, one of the report has the same typos and grammar like the leaked data and that happened to be Maria’s, Very true, we already know the data leak is not from Ms Claire but from Ms Maria, but we needed evidence

We are here to discuss how to solve the kiss scandal but coincidentally we heard the conversation of Ms Maria and Thornton’s and also with someone else.”

Claire couldn’t just believe her ears, she was literally shaking, “Claire calm down, do not be overworked, just listen and do not take anything to heart.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Maria opened the door and joined the meeting, Robert asked her “Ms Maria, why did you frame Ms Claire of the data leak case”

“What? Who? Me, what are you saying? I don’t know what you are talking about, Claire is my friend and I don’t know why I will do such a thing, I am no such person”. She was smiling saying this but already finding herself foolish in the presence of others.

Look here Ma’am, Ms Maria, I want you to help me so I can help you, give me the full details of what’s happening, we know that you leaked the data because of the mode of arrangements that you used in submitting your department’s files, you can’t hide that, also we found out that the information we just shared about our plan, you already shared it with two people, we won’t force you to share information with us, but we will surely get all information needed willingly or by force”. Mr Chang clearly stated his fact and took his seat

But Maria is really angry this time, “I will never buy this, what are you saying? Claire, you also believed them, then why am I here? I came around because I thought you would need me so you can get out of this mess. I believed in you and came around, but you don’t believe in me?”

“Calm down, Maria, I also do not understand any of this, this is not a plan to rub anything off you, but right now I am really certain that something is not right, I mean, we heard you report this meeting just now”

“Nonsense, not planned, not willing to rub anything off me, oh you are sure it’s a misunderstanding? I am not interested in any of these shit, you should solve all these yourselves, this is not my job and not what I am paid for”

“What are you saying? Keep calm, I know you are not someone like that but the evidence says you are part of this scheme and I really don’t want to believe it, but I need to be out of this mess, I promise not to take any action against you”. Claire pleaded to Maria while everyone was watching the both of them.

“Maria can do whatever she feels like, we will do whatever we can do, so stop pleading, Claire” Alex said as he made a gesture of “Do what you want” to Maria, she stormed out of the room.

“Mr Chang, what’s the next step now?”

“Well, right now we gather enough evidence and we prove that there’s an external force behind all these, one thing is sure, those who did this are on our tail now, we need to hurry, Also I advise you to bring your relationship to the open and get married”. Mr Chang picked his bag and head out of the room “I have another meeting, thanks”

“Thank you everyone, Emily, can we talk?”

“Yeah sure”

They both went to a corner and had a conversation where she carefully explained how Mr Henry Matthews started the company with his Dad, how they took it from him, how his mum is bent on giving him issues for Claire’s sake

“I know you might find this absurd, but I don’t think the Thornton’s is the issue here, I think it’s mom.”

“I do not find it absurd, but the evidence points to Thornton, but how did you know all these?”

“Daddy sent the messages to you, he told me all I told you and he also sent me here, after he was done giving me the full details too, he seems to know about this meeting”
