Hence, he immediately opened the location, finally verifying his suspicions. The GPS showed the hotel under Hayes Corporation which was located in the city’s east. And at that moment, the Emmanuels were hosting a birthday party there!
This damned woman. She wouldn’t have gone there, would she?
His face darkened and he ended the call before standing up to leave.
“Mr. Hayes? Are you going out?” Luke had coincidently come in with a document in hand. Surprise was written all over his face when he saw his boss leaving.
Sebastian couldn’t be bothered explaining to him though.
He only pointed at the desk, motioning for Luke to leave the document there. Shrouded in a layer of frost, he grabbed his car keys and took large strides out of his office.
Luke was slightly baffled.
What’s going on? Why did he leave all of a sudden?
And his vibe earlier gave me the chills.
Luke shuddered a little before placing the document on the desk and exiting the office.
As soon as he came out, he found that the employees outside had powered on their computers and were watching the recently announced news on the Emmanuel family’s birthday party, which was currently the talk of the town.
“Wow! The Emmanuels are really something. They even invited the media to their party.”
“It’s not that surprising. The Emmanuels are associated with Hayes Corporation anyway. Even Mr. Hayes Sr. is at the party, so of course it’s big news. Just look, all the bigwigs are there.”
One of the employees pointed out, hitting the nail right on the head.
The others echoed their agreements and continued watching the live broadcast. Luke took a glimpse at one of their computer screens and said, “Seriously? Our president isn’t even there, so there’s nothing worth reporting.”
“True. Our president is the real deal. If he attended, he’d definitely be making the headlines every minute. Why is the media there anyway? What’s there to report about?”
“Maybe they thought Mr. Hayes would be attending? Hahaha!”
Joyous laughter reverberated through the office.
Indeed, the attendance of the city’s big figures at the Emmanuel family’s party alone would not be enough to invite the media over for a live broadcast, even if Frederick was there.
Oddly, after settling into their seats in the banquet hall, the guests found that the big LED screen was broadcasting the very party they were attending.
Matilda asked, “Who invited them? It’s just a party. Why were the media invited?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe it was Uncle Frederick? I mean, it’s your birthday, so it’s normal to get the media over,” Philip answered.
Completely oblivious to the truth, the Emmanuels gave all the credit to Frederick.
