Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 60

Michael and Mr. Miller was in the office discussing some business materials when Mr. Miller

suddenly asked, “I heard you are already married. I am happy for you even though I wished the lucky

lady was my daughter.”

Michael’s eyes sparkled at the mentioned of his wife. This didn’t go unnoticed by Mr. Miller. He was

not upset for he is not like his ancestors who solely believed in arranged marriage, he believes in true

love.

“Are you not concerned about your uncle?” He is back and it spells trouble wherever that power

hungry man is.

“Don’t worry about. I believe he will be here few minutes from now.” Michael was confident. His

plans was already in motioned.

“I have faith in you son. These old people tend to make things more difficult than it should.” Mr.

Miller sighed.

There was a knock at the door and Alex came into view after being instructed.

“What is it?” Michael questioned.

“Sir, your uncle James Matthews is here and there are a few others alongside the shareholders.

They are all waiting for your presence in the conference room.” Alex rushed out in one breath.

When Michael got to the conference with Mr. Dave Miller, the room was already full. They seemed

to be the last to arrive.

He took his usual seat at the head. At least they know better. Dave Miller found an empty seat at

the long table.

Michael looked at all the familiar and unfamiliar faces.

His father John Matthews was sitting to his left and Grandpa Matthews was sitting to his right. His

uncle James Matthews and his son Christopher Matthews was also there. Even the Old man Miller was

there.

Everybody was sitting with their own thoughts. The additional shareholders was nervous,

especially the ones working alongside James.

After reading all the faces in the room Michael spat out coldly, “Let us begin. I do not have time to NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

waste.”

James Matthews was the first to speak, “I think you already know why we are here. In order to

inherit the family business, you have to obey the rules as well. I know that you are well aware of the

consequences if you disobey.”

Michael tapped the table with his fingers lazily without responded. The rest kept quiet as well until

Grandpa Matthews curiously, “James, please elaborate.”

Grandpa Matthews and Grandpa Miller was asked to come to the board meeting due to a change

of CEO. They did not asked much questions since they knew James must have cooked up something.

“Dad, you and Mr. Miller know the agreement better than anyone of us since it was a deal made

when you were hearty.

“James, that still doesn’t explained anything.” Mr. Miller suddenly speaks.

“Cough! Your father and I created that agreement in order to tie our family together through

marriage. Everybody should know that the first born is normally the heir of the Family company unless

the heir refuse or not competent enough to take over.” Mr. Miller said angrily. He was never a fan of

James ever since he found out his true colors.

James was boiling at the old man’s words, “I did not get the chance to become the heir of the

company by what about my son?” He gestured to Christopher who sat beside him uninterestingly.

Christopher was not interested in the family feud but he always tried to please his father since he

lost his mother since he was in high school.

James continued, “My son should have been the heir to the company for this generation since he

is the eldest grandson. I thought the eldest was always the heir.”

“James, do you even understand what you are saying? You want Michael to give up the company

just because he is younger? Please remember that I was the heir before him and he is more than

competent in his work.

He brought the company to the number one listing in the country and also took it to an

International Platform. I did manage to create few businesses outside of the company but he turned

them into a train group and created many other subsidiary companies.” John Matthews does not talk a

lot but his brother was truly irritating and power hungry.

“He did all that but who asked him to? He knew that in order to keep it, he had to marry the first

born daughter of the Miller’s but did he? He even got a loophole in the agreement to marry the second

daughter and he still went ahead and got married to someone else. A poor gold digger from the slump.”

James shouted to ensure everybody heard.

“All I am saying is that, since he forfeited the agreement then automatically it belongs to my son

and that is why we are here today. To take what is rightfully ours.” The entire room became quiet.

The shareholders along with Grandpa Miller and Grandpa Matthews was shocked. They wanted to

hear from Michael mouth.

After five second of silence they heard a loud thud, Michael fist connected to the table and his

voice booms across the room, “STOP! I will allow you to chastise my name but when it comes to wife, I

want you watch your mouth before I make you lose that tongue.”

Michael would not allow anyone to disrespect his wife.

The old men almost faint when they heard his confirmation. There was also sadness when they

remembered the missing baby Sienna Miller. Maybe things would have been different if she was still in

the picture.

James knew that Michael was somehow married to the Miller daughter but he assumed Michael

does not know yet because he would have brought her home to her family already. But to be on the

safe side, he intends on taking over the company before he finds out.

I guess his brain is getting old and he is underestimating his nephew.

The debate continues.

….

At 2:15 pm they left the restaurant.

“We’re late to go back to work. You better explained to Mr. Brown that you held me up.” June

complained. They were walking back to the company.

“You don’t have to worry about it.” June sighed in relief when she heard that.

They were distracted by their bickering that they didn’t noticed they were being followed.

“Ariana, where is Samantha? I thought she was coming back to the company with us?” by the time

June could finished with her question, she was pushed hard to the ground.

“Who the hell pushed…” when she turned around she saw two men pulling Ariana into a black

minivan with her mouth covered. She was kicking frantically they could hardly contain her.

June screamed, “Ariana, Ariana. Help! Help somebody please help. They are taking my friend.”

She ran after the van but everything happen so fast, it was long gone.

She started to curse the few people around that was only staring, “You worthless pieces of shit. All

of you stand here and watched an innocent girl being kidnapped.”

She cried and ran off to the company. She didn’t bother going to the ninth floor, she went straight

to the top floor.

She ran into Mr. Matthews’ office without knocking but it was empty.

She ran down the hall to the Secretary room, “It is urgent. Have any of you seen the President or

his Assistant?”

Janice saw that it was Ariana’s friend and she was crying so it must have something to do with her

so she answered honestly, “They are on the 19th floor in the big conference room.

June ran off to the elevator without saying anything.

She tried entering the conference room but was stopped by the bodyguards.

Everybody in the office heard the commotion. They were about to make a vote.

Michael told Alex to go and check it out and report back to him.

Alex came back and whispered to Michael, “Sir, your wife had been kidnapped.”
