"You might want to give it a shot! I shall not bother you any longer, goodbye.”
Kevin hung up the call, and Lane was so furious that he smashed his phone to bits!
The broken pieces scattered all over the floor, creating a total mess.
He stood up and immediately called his secretary over, "Get on it, now! Fire Dorothy from East Star Enterprises!"
"What?" The secretary was dumbfounded.
He had just made sure to file Ms. Sanchez's contract, and now he's supposed to fire her?
"Do it now!"
"But... to retrieve the stored contract, it takes three business days."
Lane clenched his fists in frustration, "Then fire her without following protocol. I'll cover the severance pay myself!"
The secretary nodded hurriedly and scurried off.
But in no time, he came stumbling back, his face ashen, "Mr. Lane, the HR department says you're no longer the majority shareholder of East Star Enterprises. The decision to fire Ms. Sanchez has been overruled by the current majority shareholder..."
"Everett!" Lane slammed his fist on the desk, "Well played!"
The secretary had never seen Lane like this. He typically wore a cheerful demeanor, rarely adopting a stern expression. Clearly, the secretary was a bit intimidated.
"So, what do we do now?"
"Contact the other shareholders of East Star Enterprises right away. Tell them, no matter what price they’ve been offered, I'll buy their shares for double! Have them wait for me."
"Understood, I'm on it."
After the secretary left, Lane logged into the financial system and moved all the liquid assets he could muster.
Indeed, Everett was loaded, and Lane's assets couldn't match his. But when it came to liquid funds, that was a different story!
"It's not nutritious. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it."
"You can cook?!" Langston looked skeptical.
"Of course."
"Then I want pork ribs, and mandarin fish!" Langston didn't care whether he actually liked those dishes or not. He just wanted to make things difficult for Everett.
Unexpectedly, Everett glanced at his watch and quickly agreed, "Alright, I'll go grocery shopping now. Wait for me."
"You're actually going to make it?"
Everett nodded, serious as ever. He turned to leave but paused, glancing back at Langston with a hint of a smile curling his lips.
"Oh, and next time you hack into the Lopez Corporation's servers, don't bother wiping your tracks. Others might not notice, but for me, even if you do wipe them, I can restore them with just one click."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
