Help

Alexander and Grey just arrived in City A. It was morning and they both headed straight home to their own houses to rest. Today will be a busy day.

Arriving at his own house, Alexander placed his bag on the sofa in the living room and brought out his phone to call Sabrina.

"Hey baby," Alexander said as soon as Sabrina answered his video call.

"You home?" Sabrina asked with her sleepy voice.

"Yeah, you should sleep now. I just called to check on you," Alexander said but Sabrina was already asleep and her face was displayed on the screen. Alexander can't help it but smile.

"Sweet dreams baby," he said and continued to watch Sabrina sleep for a while before he ended the call.

Alexander also went to his room to take a nap as he was exhausted from the long flight. He needed energy for later.

Lockwood Corporation.

"Sir, Mr. Grande's assistant just called, he booked an appointment at 3 pm."

"Why would Mr. Grande suddenly want to meet me?" Henry, Jacob's father asked.

"He said that it has something to do with Lockwood Corporation," his secretary answered.

"Hmm, that's kind of odd," Henry rubbed the tip of his chin, "Reserve a table at my favorite restaurant and call them back to inform the address," he instructed.

"Yes Sir," his assistant excused himself and left the president's office immediately.

"Why would Alexander Grande want to meet me?" the old man asked himself.

After a few hours of rest, Alexander prepared himself to meet the old man of Lockwood Corporation.

He wore the blue business attire Sabrina has packed for him. He also brushed his hair back which emphasized his strong facial features, emanating a king-like aura.

After preparing, Grey arrived to fetch Alexander and they both went straight to Goût de la maison, the restaurant where they will meet.

"Sir, here's the full list of Lockwood Corporation's major shareholders," Grey handed Alexander a folder.

"Okay thanks, you can wait here in the car. I won't be long," Alexander said. He stepped out of the car and went straight inside the restaurant.

"Bonjour Monsieur, comment puis-je vous aider?" the lady from the door asked.

"Je suis ici pour rencontrer Henry Lockwood," Alexander replied in French fluently.

"This way Sir," the lady led Alexander to the VIP room.

"CEO Grande," Henry greeted as soon as Alexander entered the room, "I have ordered my favorite dishes from this restaurant, I hope that it's okay," he said.

"You shouldn't have bothered President Lockwood, I won't stay long," Alexander said as he sat down in the chair in front of Henry Lockwood, "I'm here because of your son," he said.

Henry instantly raised his brow, "Jacob?" he asked and Alexander nodded in response.

"Your son has is currently planning to kick you out of your position," Alexander answered.

Henry's throat suddenly tightened, "I'm sorry CEO Grande, but I don't think my son would do that to me," he said.

Alexander brought out the folder Grey had given him earlier, "Inside this folder is the list of all the major shareholders of your company, the names with star signs before their names are the ones who are on Jacob's side," he said.

Henry immediately grabbed the folder and opened it. His eyes scanned the contents of the folder and his eyes immediately widened in shock, "This can't be real, these people are loyal to me," he spoke.

"Well I guess they're not anymore," Alexander crossed his legs.

"I can't believe this," Henry said while he stared at the folder on his hands.

"I'm telling the truth President Lockwood," Alexander said, "In a few days, I bet your son will try to move the date of your General Shareholder's meeting," he added.

"I'm sorry Mr. Grande, but I really don't think my son will do this to me," Henry closed the folder on his hands and returned it to Alexander, "My son doesn't have any reason to do this," he said.

Alexander smiled at Henry playfully, "Really?" he asked.

Henry Lockwood suddenly palpitated. There was actually one heavy reason for Jacob to do this.

Lost in his thoughts, Henry Lockwood snapped out when he heard his phone ring.

"Excuse me CEO Grande, I have to answer this call," he said and Alexander nodded in response.

Henry immediately stood up and stepped out of the room to answer the call.

"What's the matter?" he asked as soon as he answered the call.

"Sir, Mr. Jacob's assistant is asking if the date of the shareholder's meeting can be moved forward to next week?" his assistant said.

Henry felt his heart drop upon hearing what his assistant said. All the blood in his body suddenly went up to his head.

Alexander's prediction was right.

"Let's talk about this later," he said then ended the call immediately. He went back inside the room with an unexplainable expression on his face which Alexander noticed immediately.

"I guess you believe me now?" Alexander smiled.

"He's trying to move the date of the General Shareholder's meeting," Henry said.

"I'll help you," Alexander said, which made Henry raise his brow, "I'll help you maintain your position as President under one condition," he said.

"What is it?" Henry asked.

"I want you to distance your son from Sabrina," Alexander spoke in all seriousness.

Henry looked utterly confused by his words, "Sabrina?" he asked in confusion.

"Sabrina Pierce, your son's ex-girlfriend," Alexander answered.

"But they haven't been in contact for years now," Henry said.

"Well your son is currently chasing her in LA," Alexander picked the wine glass on the table and took a sip from it.

"That bastard! I guess I should destroy that woman now," Henry spoke in anger. He clearly told his son to distance himself from her!

"I won't do that if I were you President Lockwood," Alexander gaze instantly darkened, "Lay a finer on my girl and I swear that I will drag you down," he spoke.

Henry was instantly taken aback by Alexander's words, "I'm sorry Mr. Grande, I didn't know," he apologized.

Alexander stood up from his chair and picked up the folder on the table, "Approve your son's request to move the date, I'll handle the rest," he said, "I hope you won't speak to anybody about this conversation," Alexander added.

"Rest assured CEO Grande," Henry answered.

Alexander turned around and left the restaurant. As soon as he left, Henry brought his phone out and called his assistant.

"Move the date of the meeting," he said then ended the call.

"What's so special about Sabrina," he spoke to himself.

How can a mere entertainer like her capture the heart of someone like Alexander Grande?
