Chapter 211 - I Miss Being Pampered (1/2)

”Well, sorry for not being there with you guys, I am currently out of the city. Coming back to the main point, I don't own much of the shares of the company, but I think combined with the shares of Uncle Liam and my dear Sister-in-law's shares, my opinion does matter. I don't have a problem with her being the CEO.” Blake smiled brightly at the camera.

”Thank you.” Stella smiled back at him before asking Bella to disconnect the call.

”I assume that you people clearly heard him despite of your old ages.” She spoke up. ”And as far as I know, the shares of Uncle Liam and Blake combined with mine forms around seventy percent of the total shares. I don't think your opinion matters at the moment.”

”Aren't you being too arrogant? What if all these documents are fake and you are the one who killed Adam.” The same old man spoke up again as he refused to believe her words. He was actually happy when he saw the news thinking that this was the chance for his son to take over the CEO role. The rest of the people would have easily agreed with it. But this woman had to come and ruin it for him. There's no way he would back down easily.

”I don't have the same patience to tolerate you as those buttons of your shirt.” Stella added as he pointed towards his bulging belly. ”And you can contact the city court or use your own resources to ensure the authenticity of these papers.” She continued as she stood up from the seat. ”I don't have much time to waste as I have an entire conglomerate to run.” She added with a smirk before heading out of the room, leaving those old geezers to continue their argument on their own. There was no way she would spend another minute to entertain those stupid fools.

When she was at a distance from the meeting room, she turned her head slightly to her left to see Bella walking a step behind her. ”You don't need to walk a step behind me girl.” She reprimanded her in exactly the same way as Adam used to do.

”But…” Bella tried to speak but Stella cut her sentence off right away.

”No, buts.” She added firmly.

”By the way, how did I do in there?” Stella questioned her once she was walking next to her.

”You did good, Ma'am.” Bella replied to her with a thumbs up sign.

”That's good.” Stella muttered to herself as the two walked to their respective offices.

Stella walked inside the office with which she was familiar with, after all she had spent the last couple of months of her life going in and out of the very same room. Her eyes shifted to the office desk, a sad smile embracing her lips. It was kept in the same state as when she had visited the office the last time, except for the empty chair behind it.

With slow yet steady steps, she walked towards the chair. Coming to a stop next to it, her hands moved to the head rest of the leather seat as her slender fingers traced to the sides of the seat. She turned it to the side and sat down with a heavy heart.

Taking in a deep breath and after calming her jittery nerves down, she focused her attention towards the pile of files which was waiting for the approval of the CEO.

”Let's get this done.” She tried to encourage herself as she picked up the file which was resting on top, demanding her attention.
