Billionaire Ascendancy

When I got to the room,,,, I saw Raven pressing her phone and on the sight of seeing me, she dropped her phone and turned to face me seeing that i must have loved to have a word with her….

“Is there something Wrong?” She asked to see my expression and it couldn’t be hidden. I was damn fucking Angry over everything that was currently happening.

“”I thought your grandmother said that anyone with a Billion dollars business was worth to be the heir to the family company? I ask,,,, trying to make her understand where my statement was heading to at the moment.

“If Ester was truly honest about her statement then Why’s she trying to cheat over This matter and try to help your uncle in becoming one of the Division in the Maxwell family group?” I ask as her eyes widen open.

“Gosh that’s really bad because my dad hasn’t prepared anything yet! I wonder if he will be qualified to be the family heir”. Raven said anxious as I held her shoulder.

I said I was the driver there and sometimes I could meet some of the leaders. I told her that I would eavesdrop on some information about those projects and then report to her. Her joy no known bound the moment I said those words as she hugged me unexpectedly… I was quite surprised to receive Isabella’s hug but as soon as she realized what she was doing, she hurriedly let go of my hands as I smiled at Her.

“Thank you so much Stefan! I’m going to let dad know of this information”. Later that Day she approached Father and told him about everything which I had said but his response was quite different. Dad could only look at me from up and down immediately after Raven told him what I said.

“Do you really think he will be able to help us? He’s just a driver in the Maxwell company so what can he really do?” Father sneered at Raven words not believing that I could actually help them….

“You know of someone who can help us, my child! I’m sure Derek would be able to help us this time around”. His father suggested as I Scoff audibly. I don’t know why they think Derek could be of help when he’s just an assistant……………

“Father but Derek isn’t related to us! He’s just my friend”. Raven shrugged at father who was so furious over the topic. “I will try my best to help in any possible way father I promise”. But my father ‘s expressions show that he doesn’t believe me. “what can you do other than being a liability to this family”. Father bellowed at me as I walked away in Angers. They do have a way of making someone feel bad.

*The next day*

I woke up as early as 5am in the morning then went to take my bath in the bathroom, preparing for today’s work. I wanted to be there at least before 7am so I could work on making father (Harper) the Heir of the Black family by gathering some information which could help him get the cooperation and support she needs from the Maxwell company division. I put on my suit, shoes and suitcase as I headed outside. By the time I got there, none of the family members had woken up. It was only the maid who was busy doing their house chores so I didn’t really bother about meeting them for anything like food because I believe that once I get to the company, I will find something to eat.

I stepped outside, walking towards my luxurious limo park car. A smile crept through my lips the moment I entered the car and then started the ignition. I put on the AC and reverse the car, horny for the gateman to open the door for me.

I had a little faith that I could stay longer than I’ve always been. I’m sure I and Raven wouldn’t have to get divorced again. I’m sure if I were able to help father (Harper) he would begin to see me more as his son in-law instead of a useless commoner who couldn’t do anything. All I just wanted was to earn their trust, have them see me worthy as their son in-law and begin to respect me but before I do that, my plans need to work out. I haven’t really become the heir of the Maxwell company yet! I need to become that properly after I had helped my grandfather in donating blood to his granddaughter (Jenny) , so in another way, I was really excited to see what awaits me in the future.

*******

I finally got to the company after a long drive of about thirty minutes. I must say the company was pretty far from where we stay but depending on your pace and speed when driving that determines when you will get to your destination. As I stepped down and walked into the company, everybody all turned to look at me. I’m sure they pondered how I was able to get into this place in the first place.

I got to the meeting conference room and everybody had already gathered including Owen, the executives and the general manager (Owen) was seated, it seemed like I was the one they’d been waiting for.

“Finally you’re here Stefan! I had ordered them to wait for you before discussing the goodness which we are about to share”. Owen uttered then stood up, earning everybody attention. “You’all here have been an amazing co_workers in this Maxwell (Fabric manufacturers clothing business company) over the few months, We’ve been receiving sales upon sales and for that, Kendrick Maxwell, the president of this company will be giving us some bonus payment this month, for all your handwork, punctuality and commitment towards the work. Everybody applauded happily over the news.

“I do hope we will continue to work hard”. Owen assured them as everybody took their leave, going to their various offices and getting started to work.

**The Maxwell division group company has been the best company in the country of Korea with over 100 billion sales every month. They were known for producing quality fabrics and clothes which makes them to be one of the successful company in the midst of others**

Owen And I were talking about Harper, my father, when a team leader approached me. At that moment we were done talking and Owen promised to give me some of the project, father can work on.

“I see you might be new here Stefan! I’m Scott”. The short chubby guy who seems to be around thirties introduced himself to me, with a beam. “I see you’ve already known my name! Nice one! I spoke jovially, giving him a hand shake. Suddenly, his smile faded away as he turned to look at me. It seems like he had something in mind that he had been willing to say but couldn’t.

“Do you mind me Reporting you on the basic situation in the city?” He questions with a grin as I smirked.

I ended up telling him that I was a local and that I knew the area before he could say anything.

The team leader walked away, in embarrassment. Owen And I worked on the project which he later gave me and I went home that evening. Feeling very happy that I’ve finally bought a copy of the project to my father who will be so excited to see it. I finally arrived home and met with my father who was currently watching some news in the setting room. After dropping off my things in the room, I walk back to the setting room then approach him. At that moment Raven walked in, knowing that I was back from work.

“Father!!” I called his attention which made his countenance change immediately. In his mind, he’s probably thinking that I’m planning to perturb him or I don’t have anything important to say to him. “What is it Stefan? Why are you always getting on my nerves?” He retorted at me angrily as I sighed.. feeling courage to give him the copy of the project which was currently in my hand.

“Well, I wanted to give you this! His eyes widened open and mouth gaped open at the sight of the company. His expression shows that he was flinched and wasn’t expecting this surprise. “How do you get this? He asked nervously with a smirk but that changed completely to a grin as he stood up from the couch, getting furious at me.

“How would I even know if you haven’t brought out fake information for me Stefan? Do you steal this? Hope you know you could go to jail for stealing or faking information concerning the Maxwell division group! Please don’t involve my family in any of your mess Stefan, so I will just advise you to return this if truly you stole it”.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I was annoyed with his words as I felt like my help was turning into a curse. I actually wanted to help him but I never thought that I could receive such insults from him.

“Please try to hear me out before concluding, the project manager, with whom I was very close, had given it to me and I had begged him for a long time .” I explained, hoping that he will understand and stop getting everything wrong.

“, stop calling me your father useless rotten rag, I will never accept you as my grandson in-law”.

Dad sneered and said that if it was Derek, he wouldn’t have to ask anyone at all to get this kind of information. With that, he took the copy out of my hand and threw me out of the room. “get the fuck out of here useless boy”. He bellowed at me again, closing the door behind me.
