The Press Conference
Chris was heading back home from the office. He lived in SoHo neighbourhood which was known for its fancy shops and trendy coffee shops. This place was the most sought after in the whole country and a person with both money and power could afford to live here. Outsiders were not allowed to go inside.
He had bought the house here not too long ago. He had moved out of his parent's house and came here as it was quite near to his workplace. His mom and dad had now begun going on tours together to spend some quality time as his father had finally retired.
Tomorrow was the press conference where he will be officially announced as the new president of GSM. He was both nervous and excited.
Next day, he reached the company early and started discussing the details with Sebastian regarding the press conference. Soon, it was 1 o'clock. All the reporters were told to assemble in the GDA hotel where the press conference was going to be held. Chris along with Sebastian headed towards the hotel. As soon as they reached there, Chris went backstage while Sebastian headed towards the stage.
"Good afternoon my dear reporters, thank you for coming to GSM's conference. By the way, it has been a long time since we last met, isn't it?" Sebastian said trying to ease the atmosphere.
The reporters too laughed.
"So, today we have assembled here for a very important purpose. I guess you all already know about it. Yes, it's regarding the new president. The rumours this time around is unexpectedly correct that the new president is the son of the former president. Please note that the former president is doing absolutely well and not suffering from a contagious disease as you guys guessed. It's all due to his will of retiring and handing his position over to his only son."
"Now, let us stop wasting mine as well as your precious time on small talks and welcome the new president of GSM, Mr. Christopher James!"
Everyone seemed to be holding their breath when a tall, handsome man with auburn coloured hair and blue eyes, walked in wearing the latest design of Armani suit which was worth a million dollars. Everyone gasped seeing a handsome face with such delicate features. He soon became #1 eligible bachelor in the country. News sure travel a lot faster these days.
Reporters furiously began clicking pictures of him afraid of missing even a single detail of his appearance. As soon as he came to the podium, the auditorium turned completely silent. Everyone could see that he was exuding a cold aura and seemed quite unapproachable.
" Hello, my name is Christopher James and I will be taking the post of the president of GSM from now on. Thank you!" Chris said.
He surely was a man of few words. As soon as he said this, reported started flocking around him trying to ask questions. Just then, he glanced at the reporters coldly and said "No. More. Questions." enunciating each and every word clearly for everyone to hear. His aura made everyone frightened and they quickly backed off not daring to offend him or they might come home jobless.
After the conference, Chris headed back to the office and started working on the proposals of the upcoming projects. Sebastian came to check on him and found him working seriously so he soon left. At 8 p.m., after he had completed all the work he went back home. As soon as he reached his room, he landed on the bed due to the extreme tiredness. Gathering the last ounce of energy that he had, he headed for the shower. He dried his hair and was ready to go to sleep when suddenly his phone which was on the bedside rang. It was Sebastian. Chris picked the call and Sebastian's voice came through.
" Sir, you would have to go for a meeting to another country in a few days. Kindly see for yourself. I'll let you know the details soon." Sebastian said.
" Okay.....did you succeed on getting any information on the thing I asked you to look for?"
"Not yet sir, but I am working on it. Don't worry I'll let you know the details as soon as possible. "
" Okay then, goodbye."
" Goodbye sir."
Chris hung up. Soon, he went to sleep.
