Chapter 247 - It Is Indeed A Take Over (1/2)

A devilish smirk graced Stella's lips when she heard his question. Her eyes roamed around the table, looking intently at the people as she answered him.

”You are right Mr. Parker. It is indeed a take over. Levinson's Corp. will be taking over R&E Group of Companies after two weeks.” A couple of gasps followed her reply as her subordinates looked at each other with their baffled expressions.

”But, Boss… the company is barely running. Most of their investors had pulled out their investments and the board of directors is seething in anger. The company is on the verge of bankruptcy.” One of her directors spoke up.

Her delicate eyebrows scrunched up and a frown marred her forehead. ”Do you think I don't know all of that?” She rolled her eyes and chuckled lightly. ”Whether you or anyone else in this room like it or not, Levinson's Corp. will take over R&E Group of Companies in the span of the next two weeks. Either you can do your work and complete the tasks within the said amount of time, or I don't mind signing on your resignation letters.”

Heaving out a tired sigh, Stella stood up from her chair and smacked her palm on the wooden table. ”The meeting is adjourned.” She spoke up before heading out of the meeting room, leaving the group of baffled people to deal with their own problems.

She couldn't care any less about what they might think about her, she could always bring in new people if they ever resigned. She wasn't the one who needed them to work for her, they were the ones who needed to work for her. It was hard for them to turn a blind eye to the huge amount of money which was their pay.

She was almost before the door of her office when she heard the sound of footsteps coming in her direction. She turned her face slightly only to find that it was David. 'What took him so long?' She frowned and slowed down her steps as she waited for him to catch-up with her.

Once the duo were inside her office, Adam began to question her in his own voice after making sure that the door was closed and locked. ”What was that?”

”What was what?” Stella tried to act clueless before him even though she knew exactly what he was referring to.

”Stella?” He took a step closer to her, narrowing his eyes at her figure. He was too shocked after hearing her reply earlier in the meeting room. Moreover, the lady before him didn't even bother to inform him prior to the meeting about it.

”Didn't you hear me earlier?” She pursed her lips in an adorable pout as she stepped closer to him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she stood on her tiptoes.

”You shouldn't be stressing yourself with such a trivial matter. I will take care of it once this whole fiasco is over.” He gave her a troubled look as he wrapped his arms around her lower back.

”I won't be stressing myself with it. I have you by my side. And you said it yourself that it's a trivial matter. I can handle it. I just want to put an end to what you started. I want to stake a claim at every single thing they took from my parents, Adam. I want to do it for myself, for us. I want to be someone who can proudly stand next to you without people pointing fingers at you, at us. I don't want our children to ever hear what people talk behind us.” She gazed into his brown eyes and explained her reason to him.

Burying her face in his muscular chest, she hugged him close. ”Just have faith in me.” She muttered softly against his chest.
