All here

The next Wednesday.

"Sir, here are the files you asked for" said the secretary as she handed Dom some files as he looked through it.

"Thank you, what else?" asked Dom.

"Ahh Sir, the shareholders have arrived, they are waiting for you in the boardroom" said the Secretary.

"Alright, I will be there in 10 minutes" said Dom.

"Alright Sir, would you like me to prepare you any coffee or…?" asked the Secretary.

"No I'm fine, you can go now thank you" said Dom as he smiled.

"Alright sir" said the Secretary as she smiled and she walked out of Dom's office as Dom's phone rang and he answered it.

"Hello" said Dom as he put his phone to his ear while reading the file in his hand.

"Hi Dom, how are things over there?" asked Nine as his phone was on his dashboard as he was driving.

"Well we'll see, the meeting will start in 10 minutes" said Dom as he looked at his watch on his wrist.

"I see, I would prefer to be over there with you, you know how things can go, the shareholders won't back down" said Nine.

"I know that Nine, but I need you to attend a meeting on my behalf, just because of this problem on ground does not mean that the day to day activities of the company should be on hold" said Dom.

"I need you to do your best and I will do my best over here" said Dom.

"Alright Dom, Michael and Charlie called, they are worried as well" said Nine as Dom sighed.

"I know that they are, but this will pass" said Dom.

"I have to go now Nine, take care" said Dom.

"You too Dom, good luck" said Nine as Dom smiled.

"Thanks Nine" said Dom with a smile as Dom ended the call as he sighed and he dropped the file in his hand and stood up, he had a really serious meeting to attend now, and he had to make sure that he would solve this problem today.

…

Dom walked into the boardroom as everyone stood up and he greeted them good morning as they replied and he walked to his seat and he sat down as everyone else sat down as well.

They sat down together at the conference table as Dom was sitting at the head of the conference table as he cleared his throat.

"I am sure it is clear why we are all here" said Dom.

"Yes, it is very clear Mr. White" came the voice of middle aged man with grey hair as he seemed to be the one speaking for everyone here.

"How clear Mr. Drew?" asked Dom.

"Well don't play games with us Mr. White, you know why we are here, we all know why we are here, it is very clear" said Mr. Drew.

"You called this meeting to address our growing concerns" said Mr. Drew.

"And please do shed light on what your concerns are actually?" asked Dom as Mr. Drew scoffed, if Dom wanted to play, they would play, although they had no time to play with a child like him.

"It has come to our attention that you are unfit to be the head of this company, you and your family, we have decided to make some changes" said Mr. Drew.

"We? Please elaborate Mr. Drew, who are we?" asked Dom as Mr. Drew smiled.

"Don't play games with us Dominic, I am more mature than you, I know what you are playing at" said Mr. Drew as he laughed.

"Maturity is not everything Mic, I want to know who exactly are busy backing you up in this" said Dom with a smile.

"Alright then, we, as in me, Mr. Rick, Mr. Evans, Mr. Tom and Mrs. Smith, we made this decision that we do not trust a young boy like you to be the one managing our finances" said Mr. Drew as his cohorts nodded along with him, they all looked like they were in their fifties.

"Alright, that's fair, enough, but the problem here is that you don't only want me out, but you want my family out as well" said Dom.

"Well because it's simple, you family has been in power for far too long" said Mr. Rick as the others agreed with him.

"That makes no sense, you should know that this is a family company, we hold a majority of the shares" said Dom as he scoffed.

"That may be true, but not anymore, we have an external shareholder that is on our side" said Mr. Drew.

"Oh and who is that?" asked Dom.

"Someone who surely agrees with us that you and your family must be removed from power" said Mr. Evans.

"You said surely agree, not agreed, which means that the person you are talking about is surely not on your side, look let's get things straight, you don't have enough power to overthrow me or my family" said Dom.

"Correction, on our own we don't, but together we do" said Mr. Drew.

"Right now in this meeting, you have no power, you know the rules, more shares equals more power" said Mr. Drew.

"You only have 15 percent of shares, and we altogether have 40 percent of shares, so if we vote now, you will be kicked out, and you will have to sell your shares to us" said Mr. Rick with a smile.

"That Is not going to happen" said Dom.

"Oh it is" said Mr. Drew as he really regretted that they did not have the information of the secret shareholder, her 30 percent of shares joined with their 40 percent would have been enough to end this whole meeting.

"You should write that down, because Mr. White will behave like the civilised man he is and not put up a useless fight" said Mr. Evans as he looked at Dom's secretary that was taking down the minutes of the meeting as she ignored him.

"I am not giving you anything, if worst comes to worst we will take this battle to court" said Dom.

"Go on, you know that we will win" said Mr. Evan as Dom took a pause, he needed to strategize, he was stuck right now, so he took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he opened them up again.

In that same moment the door of the boardroom opened as everyone turned to see who had just entered into the boardroom.

"Oh Madam welcom" said the Secretary as she looked at Natasha who had just entered into the boardroom.

"Good morning everyone, I apologize for being late" said Natasha as Dom just looked at her, he was at a loss for words, if anything he did not expect her to be here right now.

"And who exactly are you?" asked Mr. Drew in an irritated tone as he looked at Natasha and she looked at him.

"I am Natasha White" said Natasha as she replied.

"You are his wife?" asked Mrs. Smith as Natasha nodded.

"Oh great, another one of them, what are you doing here? This is not a family meeting it is an official business meeting, if you are here to greet your husband excuse us" said Mr. Evans.

"Excuse me?" asked Natasha as she found that offensive.

"You are excused" said Mr. Evans.

"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Natasha.

"It means that you have no right to be here" said Mr. Drew as Natasha looked at him.

"Actually no, she has every right to be here" said Dom as everyone looked at him and Natasha did not like that he spoke up for her.

"And which right is that? Quite frankly just because she is your little wife does not mean she has any rights here" said Mr. Drew as Natasha scoffed.

"I take an offence to that, because I do in fact have as much right as the rest of you to be here" said Natasha.

"I own shares here, actually, I am the sole individual that owns the highest amount of shares" said Natasha.

"Impossible, so now it turns out that Mrs. White is a liar as well" said Mr. Rick as he scoffed.

"You cannot individually own all the shares, only one woman owns that, and she is Miss Inessa Cole, who is unfortunately not present" said Mr. Drew.

"You are mistaken, she is present" said Natasha as they all scoffed at her.

"I am she" said Natasha as they all continued to scoff.

"My full name is Natasha Inessa Cole White, and I happen to be the individual who owns 30 percent of A corps' shares" said Natasha as the look on the faces of the shareholders changed.

"Impossible, you lie" said Mr. Drew.

"No, I don't" said Natasha.

"But your name is Mrs Natasha White, not Miss Inessa Cole" said Mrs. Smith.

"What? Is it a crime for a woman to register her shares in her maiden name?" asked Natasha with a scoff as she walked to sit down in an empty seat beside Dom as Dom stood up for her and he moved aside as she looked at him and she sat down and he sat down on her right hand.

"This is preposterous" said Mr. Drew.

"What is preposterous Mr. Drew?" asked Natasha as she looked at him.

"This whole thing, you and your family planned it just to make fun of us!" said Mr. Drew.

"We tried to contact you" said Mr. Rick.

"I know you did, and I previously did not want to be involved in any of this, but now I see that my presence is needed here" said Natasha.

"But you never used to attend any meetings in the past" said Mr. Evans.

"That is because I have my own things to do, and my husband's secretary is my proxy" said Natasha.

"But enough about this, let's get down to business" said Natasha.

"You played us for a fool, you lied to us, it is not allowed for a sole person to have 30 shares to their name!" said Mr. Drew as he would not take this.

"If what you are suggesting is foul play Mic, then you are sorely mistaken" said Dom as Mr. Drew looked at him.

"He is right, I was not just given 30 shares just like that" said Natasha.

"I previously had 15 shares, which is below the individual owning amount, but after the passing of my father, legally as his next of kin, all his properties and belongings were transferred to me, and that included his 15 shares, which joined with mine to add up to 30 shares, you can do the math again if you wish to" said Natasha.

"So like I just explained, I did not get the shares I have through illegal means, they are legally mine" said Natasha as that made them all go silent.

"That still does not matter, we still have more shares than you all combined" said Mr. Drew as Natasha laughed and she looked at Dom, as he looked at her, she actually felt sorry for him, he had really had to deal with these people all on his own.

"Alright, I'm done here, let's get this straight, this is a family company, a family company" said Natasha as she repeated.

"I own 30 percent, my husband owns 15 percent, my brother in laws and sister in law own 10 percent and my in laws own 5 percent, do the calculations, it adds up to 60 percent" said Natasha.

"This Is no maths class Mrs. White" said Mr. Drew.

"Oh it is, because it seems that you all can't be reasonable" said Natasha.

"The ones here that are unreasonable here are you and your husband" said Mr. Drew as his cohorts agreed with him and that made Natasha angry as she hit the table and she stood up.

"You all are just a bunch of greedy human beings" said Natasha as she could not take this.

"What is your problem? What is wrong with you? All of you?" asked Natasha.

"Why do you want to take something that does not belong to you by force?" asked Natasha as they all kept quiet and listened to her.

"You are all sharks, wanting to take everything" said Natasha.

"You all have no right, and I repeat no right to demand what you are demanding from us" said Natasha.

"Can't you see how unfair you all are being? Blinded by greed, forgetting that this is not your hard work, not your blood, sweat and tears" said Natasha.

"This company was built by my Grandfather many, many years ago, he bled to get this company to where it is, he broke his back carrying this company, he lost nights of sleep and rest worrying about this company" said Natasha.

"Where were you when my Grandfather Ernest White started this company, a young bright intelligent man, rising against the harsh conditions and economy of the country at that time" said Natasha.

"Where were you when he went door to door, advertising the services of his importing and exporting company?" asked Natasha.

"Where were you when he bought his first cargo ship which was a refined fishing boat?" asked Natasha.

"Where were you when the great fire happened that burned up the first building of this company, every single thing burned, nothing was salvaged, it took years to rebuild" said Natasha.

"Where were you when the biggest exporting ship of the company sunk with everything in it? All the refunds, all the losses?" asked Natasha.

"Where were you, when he decided to rest and give his company to his son, who did what he could and handed it over to his son, who had brought the company to where it is now?" asked Natasha.

"You all only see the tall building, the fame and the wealth, you don't see all the dedication, hard work and pain that was put to make it rise up to this position" said Natasha.

"You want to take something that does not belong to you, you only want the fame without all the hard work of men, men who worked for their money, who work to provide for their family, for their children" said Natasha.

"This whole thing has caused my Grandfather nothing but stress when he should be resting and reaping the fruit of his labour" she said.

"You all should be ashamed of yourselves" said Natasha with a pensive expression on her face.

"You want to take what you should have, and it's not like you don't already get your profit from it, you just want more to satisfy your greed" said Natasha.

"This is a legacy, a family legacy, for crying out loud, I have my daughter, and I of course want my daughter to have the best, because this, this business belongs to her, it is her rightful inheritance, the same way it was given to her father" said Natasha.

"I am honestly ashamed that old men and women like you want to destroy a family, you all certainly have children, how would you feel if someone took what belonged to your children and gave it someone else? You obviously won't be happy, you would fight for your children, and that's what I am doing right now" said Natasha as she took a pause.

"Look, let's get things straight, this Is a family company whether you like it or not" said Natasha.

"And if you want to kick us out, it will be you who will be kicked out, because over everything, family matters most" said Natasha.

"This was a family company from the beginning and it will be till the end, just because we gave you the chance to have a share in the profit means nothing" said Natasha.

"Eventually, you will have to leave if you are forced to, and that is no threat, because good things happen to good people, and bad things, as you can guess happen to bad people" said Natasha.

"So, in conclusion, I don't want to hear anything about trying to take the company, or I will be forced to move my hand, are we clear?" asked Natasha as she received no reply.

"Let's try that again, are we all clear?" asked Natasha as they all looked at one another.

"Yes" replied Mr. Drew and the others.

"Good" said Natasha with a smile.

"Now, meeting adjourned, we are done here, let's go" said Natasha as she turned to look at Dom and he stood up as he followed after her and they left the room.
