Chapter 683 - His Son (1/2)

”Since when did I have a son?” Kyle asked Beatrice.

”You're asking me?” Beatrice said, raising an eyebrow, ”She's the one who revealed it when she came.”

Kyle quickly checked the CCTV and rewound it to the point where Samantha came. His eyebrows shot up, seeing how much she had changed in five years. No longer was the 'vampy' girl there. She was rather sophisticated and well-dressed.

His eyes narrowed as he stared at the little boy there.

”I've already placed her in the VIP waiting room and suppressed the news from getting out,” Beatrice said, ”And do not worry. Our receptionist, Ms. Analise, is exceptional and does not have loose lips.”

”Got it,” Kyle said, nodding, ”Thanks Beatrice. I'll take it from here.”

Kyle's mind was whirling.

Obviously, the boy was not his kid but the problem here was, what is the situation? Why did she say that the kid was? Did she truly believe that or was there something else?

It was really strange.

Was there another power play situation going on?

He wasn't worried about someone trying to oust him from the CEO position as it was quite secure. It wasn't overconfidence, but a fact.

The board members were all his people - or rather, people who were open-minded and were loyal to him. Thus, issues such as him being gay or having a child out of wedlock wasn't a problem, even if it may cause a dent in his 'popularity'.

As if that ever mattered to him.

The board members weren't interested in his personal issues. They only cared about results. Results that he's been providing and what they're quite happy about. Which was why, even when he went to Country M and Kay was acting CEO, they didn't mind.

After all, Smith Industries continued to thrive.

Luckily, this is Country Tz as well whereby the stockholders wouldn't just suddenly sell their shares (and cause the company to be in trouble) if they were unhappy with him. If the dividends were good, why would they be stupid enough to sell their shares?

Actually, even if they did dump their shares, he'd just buy them all back using his numerous companies under MIB.

So, Kyle didn't think Samantha was part of some devious plot to overthrow him. How much mud can she smear on him in order to cause a problem at Smith Industries?

She'd need quite a lot.

Thus, the question here was: what was her purpose for coming here now, with this boy?

Kyle got up and headed to the meeting room, thinking hard about the whole thing. This was certainly going to be a pain. She was troublesome then, and he hoped she was not going to be even worse right now.

Kyle really was not happy about this.

As he walked to the VIP waiting room, the people around were scattering away like mice. Even without having seen him, they knew he was near. All of them had learned early on that when their hearts beat fast or when they felt like danger was right around the corner - it meant that ”he” was near.

Run.

Or look busy. No, not look busy. Actually BE busy.

No one could fool their CEO and no one tried ever since that one time a poor employee had thought he was being clever.

Their CEO doesn't just fire a person.
