After leaving the cafe, Rain didn't return to FX International Group. Instead, he chose to cruise straight to KD Group, because William had given him a call saying that Hannah had called many of her supporters together in order to coerce Rain to reinstate Cyrus back in the head office.
"Mr. Xia, thank God you've arrived. Their foolish acts are ruining the company to the extent that the day-to-day affairs of the company are in peril," William received Rain and alerted him in a hurry. His arrival had been anxiously awaited by William for a while now. Situation had been spiraling out of control and the situation demanded a man who could take charge in order to ameliorate this disaster.
"When did they initiate? Why wasn't I informed about this sooner?" Rain asked in an enraged tone while striding himself into the company, with the heavy smell of gunpowder still persistent on his face. He cursed them in his heart for not letting this body to gain a pinch of meaningful rest.
"At the outset, we were under the impression that we had the situation under control. But later, all of us came to the conclusion that it has spiraled beyond our hands. We decided unanimously to maintain restraint considering your family relations with them and leave the decision to your wisdom," William explained while rushing to keep pace with Rain.
However, the heavy footsteps of Rain echoing across the corridor ceased abruptly as soon as he heard what William had just said. Turning around and keeping a cold stare on William, he whispered slowly, as though he was dropping the words one by one, "They are not my family. I don't want to hear anyone saying that ever again."
After uttering that, he walked straight into the elevator, without caring to pause for at least a moment.
William struggled awfully to catch up with Rain. He knew that Rain wasn't so fond of the Ke Family, but he hadn't expected that he loathed them to this extent.
As soon as he arrived at the top floor, Rain heard a pang of hubbub. It seemed to him that he had just landed at the epicentre of terrible scene in the making. Rain twisted his eyebrows into a clean furrow. The apparently short limits of his temper were being put to test today.
"Everybody please calm down. The CEO is here," William yelled, suppressing the slurry of noise.
In an instant, every pair of eyes in the room shifted to focus on Rain. Seeing his cold yet handsome face, the accessory perpetrators of this troublesome incident hid their face in an alarmed state.
"It seems that you've enjoyed yourselves while I was absent from the company for a short period. I can't help but wonder who the brilliant organizer was, or should I say, conspirator?" Rain asked with a sly smile on his lips while glaring at several members of the Ke Family, who he believed had never done any work blamelessly in their entire lives.
"Before you turn all authoritarian with your questions, you may just have to calm down. First of all, let us ask you a question. As the CEO of KD Group, do you think it is morally right to go to FX International Group to lead their work instead of working here? Are you worthy of our trust?" Eugenia took the lead in launching an attack, without the shadow of the last bit of fear seen in her eyes. She was still and firm as a rock.
