Chapter 4

Matilda rushed out of the hotel like someone being chased by a mad dog. She quickly hailed a cab that took her straight to the company she worked for.

She couldn't stop thinking about the creep at the elevator.

Why did he lean forward to her like that???. Thank God the elevator door opened on time, if not, she wouldn't have know what will have happened. Why was he even behaving like that towards her?? Gosh! There are alot of creeps nowadays, she shivered.

She got to work and noticed, for some odd reason, most of the managers were lined up in rows, like as if they were waiting for someone. She walked passed them, bowing, as a sign of respect, but she noticed that they were looking too anxious to acknowledge her. She shrugged her shoulders and left for her office. Half way through, she saw her assistant, Cecilia, who informed her that the Big boss will arrive anytime soon for inspection.

Upon hearing this information, she tossed her back to her assistant, and quickly made her way to the entrance. She joined a row, and few seconds after her arrival, a dark red sports car parked itself at the entrance of the building. On seeing the car, all the workers, including Matilda, immediately bowed their heads. The chauffeur got out of the car, and opened the car door. Almost immediately, a well tanned young man stepped out. He wore a dark red t-shirt, matching the colour of his car, with black trouser. He had the latest Nike trainers on, with sunglasses. He wore the most devil smile, showing off his pearl teeth.

On seeing his arrival, the whole workers echoed " Welcome, Mr. Black " ,while the head manager made his way towards him and bowed deeply.

Mr. Black chuckled, and said " Well, thank you everyone for this grand welcome. Please, you may all rise ". The workers were a little puzzled, but they obeyed.

So this is the mean Big boss everyone's been talking about?? But he spoked so friendly and free towards them?? Looks like the rumors were wrong, he's not that scary.

The head manager lifted his head, and wore a big polite smile and was about speaking, when his smile suddenly faded upon hearing Mr. Black's question

" So, where's my brother??"

The top manager was a bit confused and asked " Brother??"

" Yes, my big brother. He hasn't arrived yet??" he looked around. On seeing the genuine look on his face, confusion roamed on the faces of the managers.

Wait, if he has a big brother, that means , he's the second son, which automatically means that he's not the feared Mr. Black, but the infamous pervert son, the managers thought. They were still thinking, when they all heard the roar of an engine. They looked at the direction of were the sound came, and saw a black sports car.

" Oh there he is ", the red shirt guy said. On hearing him, fear gripped the hearts of the workers and they all uncontrollably bowed. Deeper than ever.

The car parked in front of the company and a chauffeur stepped out, and opened the other door. Immediately, a tall man, in an overall black, stepped out.His face was stern and expressionless. His cold eyes looked around and they all felt chills. They were at lost for words. None of them could even utter a single word. All they could do was bow even deeper. They were so terrified, it was as if the grim reaper came to pay them a visit.

" Brother! "they all heard, the second son, exclaimed. But the guy in black, didn't say anything and just walked in. The second son didn't seem to take it as an offence and just followed sooth. The managers still bowed their heads. None of them moved. They were too scared.

Observing this, Lionel, the second son, knew they would be in alot of trouble if they didn't do anything, so he kicked the head manager and signaled him. The head manager noticed it and quickly lifted up his head, and signaled the rest. He chased after the Big boss,who was already in the elevator. The head manager told his assistant to gather all the managers ideas on a new projects, and tell them to meet him at the board room.

The managers ran helter-skelter falling and yelling at each other, trying to find an idea good enough to not get them fired, because they knew they were doomed.

Matilda almost went crazy as she searched for her tablet. Manager John ( MJ), who was her group partner, joined her to search for it.

" Where did you put it??" MJ asked, as he checked her drawers.

" I don't know. All I remembered was putting it somewhere that has a zi-" she paused as she ran towards her chair. She bent and looked under it. There was a zip under the chair, she stretched out her hand and open it. Her eyes glowed as she saw the tab inside, she exclaimed " Bingo! "

She brought it out and rushed out of her office with MJ. They went straight to the broad room and waited patiently for the Big boss, with the rest of the managers.

Soon, the Big boss's assistant and brother walked in, and seconds later he entered. The all bowed their heads. He soon took his seat, and they all followed suit.

" This meeting will now begin" the boss's assistant said. After words managers, upon managers stood up, presenting their ideas. The whole board room felt like a boiling pot as the only words that left the mouth of the Big boss was ' fired '

A well known manager, Manager Chris, stood up with confidence and presented his own idea. He walked towards the projector and soon pictures of chocolate bars displayed.

He began " Our company has been doing well due to the ideas I have brought in this very board room. And as usual, I'll continue to make this company thrive." he boasted with his shoulders up.

This little idiot doesn't scare me. He might be looking all big and scary, but no matter how he might carry himself, he cannot fear me because, I am the foundation of this company and he can't fire a foundation, he thought.
