Fraust Holdings

Chapter 71: Fraust Holdings

"They are all here Charmain Fraust"

Both the father and son duo then stood up to go to the conference room to face the person involve with the investment towards Yillis Production.

"We'll be there in a moment" Gregorio Fraust is displaying his poker face, not even Patrick can decipher what he is thinking at the moment, he doesn't even know if he should follow or not "Come with me Patrick"

Patrick just followed behind his father.

As soon as Chairman Fraust entered the conference room, every single soul inside that room stood up and greeted him,

Everyone cannot also read what the Chairman is thinking.

"I want to know if somebody among you know this" then he raised the manuscript that his son gave him then tossed it to the table for them to see.

It took some time before everyone realized the current situation.

"We didn't know this Chairman." One of the project managers stated.

"What are we going to do with this? If this goes out to the public this would create some drawbacks for us" then the room once again feel silent with the words of their Chairman, disappointment is clear in his face.

Fraust Holdings have been founded on integrity, and this clearly goes against their company's image.

"But we cannot let this slide, come up with a plan and talk to who you need to talk just to clarify everything"

With that order, everyone on the room rushed to went out to fix the problem that have emerged.

Patrick, on the other hand remained silent, he is also waiting for his father's order on what he can do.

"Patrick, my son, thank you for coming to us first before going public with this" he can only smile sadly in front of his father.

"None of this is the company's fault Dad. It was a really good film, If I am in the same position, I would also invest" then his father finally sat down.

"I you are in my position, what do you think would be the best solution to this?" then he gestured Patrick to also sit down, "You said that it was one of the conditions that Constellation asked you in return of their services to you company."

"I would have gone ahead and released the news article that our PR have prepared if it so happened that Fraust Holding isn't involved." then he looked directly at his father's eyes. It is the truth, the more he thinks about it, the more he found it absurd that someone would claim something that they didn't' own.

Gregorio Fraust cannot be prouder of his son, seeing him stand for what he thinks is right despite being in front of him, but the respect that he has showed in front of his father is more commendable.

"You could have just gone ahead and do that"

"I talked to the people involve on the other side and they understand my decision, they also don't want to involve innocent people with this issue Dad, that's why we decided to let you know and wait for your decision before we make a move"

Patrick explained to his father that he didn't want to cause any problem to Fraust Holdings.

"Thank you, my son" then finally his father smiled at him warmly, "Seeing that you have manage to grow that company on your own and now that things are finally going smoothly, I cannot be the one who will hinder you from keeping your promise. A businessman should always have integrity and always deliver your promises" then he held his son's shoulders in assurance.

Patrick really don't know how to decipher what his father have said but he wants to believe that it will be a positive one on his end.

"If the Production House don't know anything about this then I will let you handle that fraudulent writer that stole this manuscript, if it happens that they knew about this, we will withdraw all our investment and release your PR statement"

He was relieved with the decision that is father gave him, either way he can still deliver his promise to Argon and Ysa.

"By the way Patrick, just when are you going to get married? I want to see my grandkids while I'm still healthy"

Then his father just start nagging him about his love life, to tell the trust Patrick always liked this casual conversation with his father, since he was a child it had become a his father's symbol of love for him and his siblings, since his father is always away and busy, he always make sure that he is still part of their lives and knows every detail he could know from them.

"There was one that I like Dad, but she already has someone she likes" Patrick isn't oblivious to what is going on with Ysa and Ian, he doesn't want to be a hindrance and fight a battle he knows he doesn't stand a chance.

"Now that's a shame, well you have genes so finding a lady that will suit you won't be a problem" then the father and son duo starts to laugh out loud.

"Chairman Fraust" it was his father secretary who intervened with their conversation, together with them is the Project Manager that is directly communicating with the Yillis Production, with him is one of the Executive Producer of Her Last Memories.

"This is Juno Vallen, EP for the film, Chairman"

"Please sit down"

Then they all sat down, Chairman Fraust in the middle, Patrick on his right and the Project Manager and Juno Vallen on his left.

"I don't want to go around with this anymore, I just need one thing from you, are you aware of this issue?" Chairman Fraust is the one initiates the conversation.

Everyone in the room is aware that the premiere of the film is just around the corner that's why they have to settle this before it even creates a bigger problem for everyone.

"I have already talked with the Creatives Chairman but none of us are aware that the script was not written by Lauren" EP Juno Vallen defended the whole production against the what Lauren Culls have done.

"Then can I trust you to clean up this situation? I am giving you the chance to handle this internally or we will have no choice but to pull out our investments"

Gregorio Fraust kept his poker face and made sure that he had made his point clear.

"Will do Chairman Fraust"

With that the Project Manager and Juno Vallen went out of the conference room and Patrick faced his father.

"I don't think I still have to do anything Dad, it will be enough on your end"

"Do what you think is necessary Patrick, I am giving you the right to act on what you see best for your company's assets , don't worry about Fraust Holding for now, we are a big corporation while Starlight Entertainment is just starting gaining momentum" then again his father patted his shoulders conveying his trust on his son's judgement.

'I know that I can now trust you with the company after I retire.'
