A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 106

The office door opened, and all of Elijah’s clients walked into the room. Then they took a seat on the leather couches and focused on Mr. Barlow.

“Excuse me,” Ella said before walking out of the room and shutting the door closed.

For a few seconds, it was silent. Then Mr. Barlow cleared his throat and gently asked, “Why are you all here?”

“It's no secret that DBA INC. is failing immensely.” Mr. Davis carefully said, striving to remember Rome's every word correctly.

“So I heard.”

“That is why we are here to tell you that we want to keep our projects with DreamTeam, and since Elijah is not a part of this company, we will like to sign under William.”

Although Mr. Barlow kept a straight face, he was extremely excited inside, knowing that this was something that could help DreamTeam.

Without any second thought, he looked at Davis and said, “If that's the case, then I will call William up here so we can get the paperwork started.”

“Wonderful!” Mr. Davis said, feeling relief that things went easier than he expected.

The silence in William’s office was suddenly disrupted by his ringtone. So he dropped his pen and picked up his phone.

When he answered the call, Mr. Barlow's voice echoed into his ear, “Come to my office now.”

“What is it!” William asked, still feeling enraged about the morning event.

“Just get here!”

“I'm on my way.”

After ending the call, William stood from his seat and grabbed his coat off the rack before walking out of his office.

A few minutes later, he arrived in Mr. Barlow’s office, and the moment he recognized those that were in the room, he froze.

“I'm here,” William said with his focus on his father.

“Elijah’s clients are willing to sign with you.” Mr. Barlow said.

“What!”

“Is there a problem?”

The first thought that crossed his mind was to refuse. But then that would make his father suspicious of him, and since Charles had already angered Mr. Barlow, William knew not to add to that anger.

Against his better judgment, he gave a half-smile and said, “Of course not. When do were start the paperwork?”

“Now,” Mr. Barlow replied.

By three o'clock, all the documents were complete, and William's signature was on all of them.

After the clients had left, it was just Mr. Barlow and William in the room.

Feeling uncomfortable by the silence, he stood to his feet to leave, but Mr. Barlow looked at him and said, “According to my promise you would ascend to your brother's position, and we are going to announce that at the press conference.”

“What!” William intoned, staring at his father in disbelief.

“Since we can't clear Charles’ name, you taking Elijah's role on the board of directors is the perfect news that could shadow your son's rumor!”

“But, father…”

Although he so desperately wanted to protest against the idea, William knew going against his father at such a critical time was more dangerous than offending his brother, so he took a deep breath and said, “Sure.”

When Rome’s phone rang, he felt glad that Catherine wasn't in the office seeing that it was Davis' number blinking on his screen.

After answering the call, he heard Davis say, “It's done. All our projects have gotten signed under William.”
