"Mr. Angelo! Your father said you have to go to the events you're supposed to. Don't forget why you came to Devonport…"
The secretary's words were cut short by a security guard at the door, still munching on potato chips, who tugged at his arm. "Hey, buddy! We're just trying to get our paychecks, don't make this hard for me, okay?"
The security guard, barely in his mid-twenties, realized the secretary refusing to listen and looked at Angelo with a pleading expression. "Boss, he's not listening to me!"
Angelo frowned and said, "If he doesn’t leave today, you will. Your call."
With those words, the security guard was instantly motivated. He summoned all his strength and finally managed to drag the secretary away.
"Sorry, buddy! I can't afford to lose my five-thousand-a-month salary just like that!"
"You…"
The secretary, still anxious, peered into the CEO's office. "Mr. Angelo! Mr. Angelo, please hear me out…"
Angelo simply put on his noise-canceling headphones. "Not listening! Release Duke!"
The loud barking of the big black dog outside didn't give the secretary a chance to react before he, along with the bodyguard, was pushed out of the newspaper office.
The secretary was fuming.
If they didn’t make a scene, they couldn't explain themselves to Old Mr. Pollard. But to barge in? With Mr. Angelo as the future leader, they didn’t have the guts to anger him!
In the end, a group of them waited outside the newspaper office.
Tonight's dinner was a must-attend for Mr. Angelo, whether he liked it or not.
In the afternoon, Sophie had just returned to Burke Estate when she saw Colby and Gordon in the study, looking troubled.
