Chapter 10

"No need to pursue legal actions for now.

Let's just wait for the day of the Demolition. Surely they wouldn't sit still knowing that we have already dispatched the workers and tractors needed for the construction." he said. "If they don't leave, that is up to them."

"If ever they decide to take this to court, present the documents containing the signatures of those who took the compensation and turn it against them. If they choose to persist, take legal actions."

Secretary Alfred nodded and typed down his orders before informing the Engineering Department of the necessary information through email. After he was done, he checked the time and saw that it was time for the boss's executive meeting that was scheduled today. It will be held at the main branch in one of the subsidiary companies of Grant Conglomerate.

"Sir, it's already time for your meeting with the executives, it will be held at the Upper Q Branch of Braxton Company. There are only 30 minutes left and the report you were asking for about the project advertisements will be handed in by the Advertising department. "

Hearing his word he put down the fountain pen he was holding and stood up. He fixed his dress shirt and took his suit that was hanging from the back of his swivel chair. He wore it and immediately motioned his secretary to open the door.

Both went out of the office and headed towards the private elevator. When they reached the ground floor, the elevator instantly opened and the secretary went out first followed by a tall figure.

The employees around the area immediately stopped in their tracks the first thing they heard was the private elevator open. That elevator was only used by the CEO and his secretary.

Wearing an expensive tailored suit and a pair of black polished shoes, the figure gave an intimidating aura enough to render everyone immobile. His demeanor exuded coldness and ruthlessness which greatly opposed his handsome face. He was so handsome.

No.

Majestic.

If there was a personification of Adonis, it would be him.

Good enough to topple award-winning actors from the showbiz industry. His build and height greatly complimented his appearance. Making him look more like a model than a CEO. His jet-black hair was carefully combed back but some strands managed to let loose from his hairstyle making him look sexy and mesmerizing. His gray eyes were like the eyes of a hawk, sharp like a knife; deeply unfathomable.

The employees couldn't help but feel like this wasn't a normal walking environment but instead a set for a movie. Why was such a beautiful human being here? Not to mention, he looked like he was the epitome of masculinity. The female employees felt like he was trying to mess with their system.

Just who was this stunning specimen?

Oh right, he was none other than the infamous CEO of the top Conglomerate in the country.

He was Jaxon Grant.

The infamous CEO and was known for his wealth achievements and mostly his godly appearance.

The employees who caught a glimpse of his presence couldn't help but hold their breaths, especially the female employees.

He was just as the rumors said.

He was so ruthless.

But in a different way…

It was stirring something inside them.

Their hearts couldn't help but ache to know that someone unreachable like him existed. He was truly blessed by heaven. They could faint on the spot just by receiving a single glance from him. However, that would never happen.

Not even sparing a single glance towards his employees, Jaxon exited the building of the headquarters. He walked towards the spot where a black Maybach was found waiting.

His secretary opened the door on the backseat and waited for him to enter the car before sitting in the passenger seat. The driver-bodyguard then started the car immediately after the secretary fastened his seatbelt.

Bzzt. Bzzt.

A vibrating sound was heard inside the vehicle. The sound came from Jaxon's pocket. The secretary looked at him through the rearview mirror, guessing who could've called the domineering CEO at this time of the day. After all, he wasn't a sociable person and had only a few acquaintances.

Jaxon fished out the mobile phone from his pockets and swiped the screen to answer it. It was an unregistered number. However, he knew who the person could be.

"What do you want?" he said, irritated.

"I can't believe you blocked my number again! Do you know I bought a ton of sim—" the voice on the other side of the line stopped from his complaint when Jaxon's voice suddenly intervened with his speech.

"Say what your purpose is or I will hang up," he said coldly.

"It's getting chilly here, isn't it? It is so cold even—"

Toot. Toot. Toot

Another set of vibration started to tickle his palms again.

Jaxon stared at his phone before deciding to answer it one more time. This time, the person on the other side of the phone decided to be serious and stop joking with him. He didn't waste any more of his breath trying to act chummy with Jaxon, afraid that this new number he just registered would be blocked again.

"Okay. I just called to tell you about my bachelor party." the person said. "THERE! I said it! It was supposed to be a surprise—"

"What?... Bachelor Party? I'm not going."

Jaxon replied with a nonchalant tone.

"Hey! You're seriously harsh! Not even attending your friend's bachelor party!"

" I already agreed to attend your wedding. And now you want me to attend your stupid bachelor party?" he said bluntly.

"This guy! You're too much Jaxon! I can't believe we've been friends for twenty years now!" the person said, pretending like he was hurt. "Besides, I know you! You'll probably stay for only ten minutes—No! Five minutes into my wedding ceremony!"

"What? You were the one who invited me yet you're badmouthing me! Do you want me to go or not?"

The person suddenly grew silent then he suddenly burst out in laughter.

"I can't believe this worked on you for the second time Jax. I knew—"

"I'm going to hang up again if you don't shut the hell up, Clifford." Jaxon threatened.

"Okay! Okay! Fine... I give up." Clifford said.

"Just at least stay for a couple of minutes at my bachelor party, please? Just for-- let's say... Twenty minutes.. If not then fifteen minutes."

"Ten minutes..."Jaxon bargained.

"Thirteen minutes," Clifford said.

"*Sigh*... Twelve minutes, " he said.

"Deal!"
