The taxi stopped at right outside the Achilles Firm. It was common to see such a scene if it was a investor or soone who was trying to remain lowkey.
From the cleaning lady to the top executives were getting paid a lot, so much so that even when they would tell their relatives others wouldn't believe it.
Samuel was very tough on everyone and there were quite a lot of rules working for the firm as most of their moves would be monitored by financial giants.
With such constant explosive profits, everyone was jealous and people ca in droves trying to get a piece of the pie but it was hard for just anyone to get in. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
With such treatnt, it was obvious the employees quality of life improved and almost all of them drove to the office. So even rode their bikes as a way to excercise while saving fuel.
No one really paid attention to the taxi but when it ca to the dedicated area where important people would get off, the surrounding people started staring at the scene.
When the firm started, Samuel did splurge a little and bought a neat building anticipating the future developnt of the firm.
It wasn't exactly at the center of the city but it was close enough for him to cost a fortune for the buyout.
After elegant renovation which were minimalistic and moderate in taste but there were many cool features involved, one of them was for welcoming high profile guests.
His funds not only had civilians but there were also so politicians and even wealthy businessman, just trying to make a connection for future events.
Such people never really ca in person so the extended driveway was never really used. Samuel had asked the Taxi driver to take him there as he felt a little awkward to ride in taxi which would beco a blemish for his perfect boss persona.
He wasn't into vanity but he knew others would like to gossip not to ntion getting teased by Abigail would be the worse thing as she was highly perceptive when it ca to getting to the truth of the matter.
Not to ntion, she would nag him just to find out why he was riding a taxi when he had so many cars at ho. Was there sothing wrong? Did he stay at place near the city which made him not bother to drive his expensive cars?
He got out of the car and realized everyone stared at him and his plan to remain low key didn't really work. He wasn't wearing his usual fancy suit but just so casual clothes that he found at Kate's place but no one could say that he looked bad.
" Good morning Boss!" Soone shouted. He didn't see who because the perpetrator was at his back.
He turned to look but everyone just smiled at him and started to greet him casually. They might be shocked to see their boss in such a 'normal' setting without any fancy car or expensive clothes but that didn't an they wasn't grateful to him.
He just smiled and nodded trying to stay in his character despite the obvious flaws. As soon as he entered the building he saw even more people were gathered on the lobby.
It was a trading day so most of them should be in their office working but he could see them loitering around trying to blend in but they were failing miserably.
It seed like soone had already leaked about his arrival in the group chat. They all greeted him one by one making him linger in the lobby for more than he was comfortable with.
Fortunately, Abigail didn't send any recieving party probably because they must be busy with sorting out their reports due to the sudden eting.
Maybe this situation would be buried in annels of history without it getting to her ear but he highly doubted his luck when it ca to anything other than 'eting' new won.
Anything could fail but the 'fate' would never let him go putting him in awkward scenarios where he always had to make the 'tough' decision and sohow it would work against all the odds!
Finally, he reached the dedicated elevator and went up to the top floor. He looked down and saw his clothes weren't that bad, he just had to remain calm to not give any party any ground to bring up this particular situation.
As soon as he went out of the elevator, he saw Theo Baker walking with two people by his side.
He also noticed the dedicated elevator open only to see Samuel step outside. He was montarily surprised by his appearance but soon composed himself.
" Morning Boss." He bowed slight and his people did the sa.
" Morning. I presu we have less problems in the company now?" Samuel asked.
Money was one thing but Theo had a special role. He was appointed after the trafficking fiasco when the mysterious organisation was using few of his Verdant branches to further their agenda.
Not much was known about him but according to Aunt Ludivine, Uncle Daniel's wife and a forr head hunter, he was the best in the business to sniffing out rats and other potential dangers in the company.
His task was to observe everyone including the leadership personnel of the company and keep them in line so that they wouldn't do the sa stupid mistake of betraying the company for personal gains.
After the initial phase and seeing Theo's bright result of catching almost a dozen high managent employee connected to various misdeeds, he expanded Theo's budget to include even the branch offices around the world just in case.
"It's not even been a year since the last breach. After your stern warning, I believe even if soone have ill intentions they wouldn't risk the exposure but we do have so usual detractors with petty cris." He gave a brief summary.
" Well, as long as the company keeps producing results I don't care how you deal with them. Just follow the rules and gave them a chance to voluntarily quit. It would be wise for them if they didn't want to get blackballed in the industry." Samuel said as he started walking toward the eting room.
Theo acknowledged the task but still followed him. Even if it would be a waste of ti, these etings were a perfect opportunity for him to get to 'know' high level employee at a personal level.
Regardless, He wasn't soone who would take the task lightly especially knowing what was at stake!
