The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 [West Atlantics Int‘l headquarters, Capital City.)

The atmosphere in the company‘s regal building was dull and tense. The workers were all moving about their daily activities with gloomy and forlorn expressions, unlike the usual bustling attitude they had previously.

The employees were not to be blamed however, as they had already seen the negative news about the chairman of their company. They were seasoned employees, so they knew how detrimental the effects of such news could be to their company.

The higher ups, such as Erin and Zack, were more depressed at the situation at hand. The company was still a very new one, so they were feeling aggrieved about the current turn of events. If their chairman was unable to resolve this issue, then it would be a huge setback in their already laid out plans.

The news had been embellished greatly by the media, so it had succeeded in creating a false impression about the chairman of West Atlantics Int’l.

The public didn’t know the full details regarding the accident, and they only believed what they were fed by the media, so it was understandable why they hurled insults and looked down unfavorably on West Atlantics Int‘l.

While Erin and Zack were at a loss on what to do, Darius arrived at the company. After parking his vehicle, he entered the building and headed straight to Erin‘s office.

“Mr. Reid!” Erin exclaimed in surprise when she saw Darius walking towards her in haste with a stoic expression on his face. It had just been less than an hour since she called him last, yet he was already present at the company. She couldn‘t imagine how fast he must have driven to get here so quickly.

“Call every higher ups in the company and tell them that we‘re having a meeting in five minutes.” Darius ordered as he glanced at Erin and exited the office before continuing walking towards the conference room.

Erin jolted back to her senses and nodded subconsciously at Darius‘ instructions before scurrying away to obey his instructions.

The company‘s internal structure was no longer the same as it had been. With over 1,000 employees working currently in the company and the number growing by the day, the company would definitely not continue to operate in the same manner as before.

When the higher–ups received Darius‘ orders, they immediately halted their actions and rushed to the conference room. They had been waiting for Darius to arrive and address the situation for quite some time. They dared not dally now that he was finally around to deal with the problem

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, the conference room was filled with the higher ups already present.

These higher ups were the core of the company, and majority of them were handpicked by Darius painstakingly; therefore they heeded Darius‘ words with utmost respect.

“I trust we all understand why we‘ve gathered here.” Darius stated flatly. He didn‘t want to waste any time on pleasantries, so he got right to the point.

“I‘m certain that by now you all have seen the news and rumors about me circulating on the internet.” Darius started, as he looked straight into the eyes of the people present.

“Well, they‘re mainly false.” Darius said.
