Chapter 3: Vincent's CEO Journey

The next day, Isabella held a press conference, ready to announce Vincent as the new CEO. Vincent, standing tall beside her, felt the weight of the moment.

With a commanding presence, Isabella declared, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce the CEO of our venture, Vincent, who brings strategic expertise and a commitment to our business."

Cameras flashed as Vincent, meeting the gaze of the room, responded firmly, "Thank you, Isabella. I'm honored and ready to lead with dedication."

After the press conference, Isabella faced pushback from some followers, like Marcus, who believed in strict hierarchy. They didn't agree with Vincent becoming CEO, creating more tension within the gang.

Sensing the need to prove himself, Vincent proposed a test to Isabella. Each would handle a client in a unique situation to showcase their capabilities in the bodyguard business. Isabella agreed, and they were given the task to demonstrate their skills.

Isabella assigned loyal followers to Vincent—individuals who believed in Isabella's choice over traditional hierarchy. Marcus Bennett got his own team members. In the first task, Marcus took charge of ensuring the safety of a high-profile person, Olivia, at a public event. Meanwhile, Vincent was responsible for handling a potential threat during a private meeting for another client named Richard.

As Vincent and Marcus got ready for their tasks, there was a feeling of competition in the air.

Vincent's team quietly joined Richard's confidential business meeting, keeping things low-key. Richard liked it and said, "Mr. Vincent, I like this quiet way of doing things. Good job."

Vincent replied, "Thanks, Mr. Richard. We're here to make sure you can focus on your business without any worries."

Marcus took charge of Olivia's security at a public event. His team stood out, surrounding Olivia visibly. But Olivia wasn't happy. She said, "Mr. Marcus, I appreciate the concern, but this level of visibility is drawing more attention than I'd prefer."

Marcus stuck to his plan, saying, "Safety comes first, Ms. Olivia. This is how we ensure it."

Vincent and Marcus showed different ways of handling things, and Isabella and her gang watched to see how they did.

After watching both situations, Isabella Rossi spoke up, "In keeping things safe without causing a stir, Mr. Vincent showed us the way. He's our CEO. Marcus, you have to accept it. In their unique business world, being smart and not making a fuss turned out to be more important than just looking tough."

After Isabella said Vincent won, everyone kinda got it. The gang members, who weren't sure before, started to see that Vincent was pretty good at this stuff.

Jake, one of the gang, said, "Guess Isabella made the right call. Vincent handled things really well."

Carla, another member, added, "Those tests weren't easy, but Vincent nailed them. Maybe this change is a good thing."

Even Marcus, who wasn't thrilled about it, grumbled, "Still don't like it, but gotta admit he's got skills."

Vincent, feeling the change in the air, told the gang, "Thanks for the chance. I promise to lead us strong. Together, we can do awesome things."

The room, which was kinda split before, now felt more together. They all started to see that Vincent had what it takes for their unique business.
