CHAPTER 4

KATE

The following morning as I walked into DELORE INC, I hoped everything would go well but I guess I was truly badluck because a very angry woman walked up to me and slapped me .

What the hell???

" You rascal " she cursed " so was that why you broke up with me ? Because you were from a rich family? Did you think I was some sort of gold digger, Nate ?"

Ah,I get it. This was another one of my brothers problem and I was the one getting the punishment for it . typical. But surely if I was acting as Nate from now , I'm sure dad won't sit around and watch and watch someone hit his son but dad had slapped me .

" Why are you quiet? Apologize!"

What was I expecting?

"Sor-"

" That's enough,I don't want to see your face ever again . Ugh" . I clenched my fist and watched as the woman walked away .

We continued our way up to the meeting room. All the 16 board members were already seated .

" You are late " Mr An complained

He was the head of the accounting department. he hates Nate's gut because he and his daughter were supposed to get married but - I'm just going to stop here, thinking of all the things Nate has done wrong gives me headache- but I'm sure Mr An will go out of his way to make sure Nate doesn't get appointed today and that is the only saving grace I'm looking up to , today .

" We apologize, we encountered an issue on our way up here " dad said and we got seated.

" So , let's cut to the chase . How many of you here are against Nate's appointment as chairman "

I saw many hands up and bit my lips so that my smile wouldn't show.

The heavens were on my side today .

" That's too bad " dad said " this is my company and it's only things I say that stand "
