Helena got off the taxi on the other side. It takes a two-hour drive from London to Bristol City, where the Bonham Company stands firmly and towering in one of the most populous cities in England and the United Kingdom.
Helena's steps paled for a moment as soon as she heard Mikel's voice calling her. The man rushed over and saw Nathan following. Since Nathan was already aware of Helena's family troubles, Mikel did not forbid the assistant from coming with him. As well as being a witness if he was with pure Helena only helped so that someday Elie would not misunderstand him. It is likely that news of him with Helena coming to the Bonham Company will be made public.
All the employees' eyes looked at them, it had been a long time that the two lovebirds had not shown a face together. Moreover, Helena who they know is always busy taking care of her business in Paris and today they are seen together, causing a stir. There were even some reporters who were waiting in front of the company building. They do not expect if they will meet with a pair of ex-lovers who still seem to get along.
It was not easy for Helena and Mikel to get past the line of reporters. But in the end the two made it past the reporters thanks to the help of Mikel's confidants and the two immediately took the elevator to the meeting room.
BRACKET
The door was opened violently by Helena followed by Mikel and Nathan behind the woman. Now they are the center of attention of shareholders in the meeting room.
"Miss Helena?" Some of the meeting participants were surprised, not least Jorge and Margaret who sat with a hoot on one of the chairs there.
"Why wasn't I involved in today's meeting? Did you guys forget that I'm one of the shareholders in Bonham Company?" Helena's hands folded in front of her chest, revealing her haughty side. "Oh, I see, someone deliberately wants to sell my shares without my knowledge?" Helena's sarcastic words were deliberately emphasized to Jorge and Margaret. Full of innuendo and hitting both middle-aged couples.
"Why did you come here?!" But instead of panicking, Jorge floated a dislike of his daughter's presence. Though various ways he has done to cover important meetings this time. Jorge's sharp glances then fell on Mikel, it was definitely the man who told Helena. He should not have underestimated Mikel, it was evident the man was getting on top of her.
Helena clucked at Jorge's call. "Daddy forgot that I'm also a shareholder in this company. Is Daddy old enough, so forget this important thing."
"Bad!" Jorge kicked the table, feeling his daughter disrespected him and had humiliated him. "Get me talk in front of the others!" he said then reprimanded.
Helena snorted cynically, for her it was common for Jorge to treat himself harshly. "I wouldn't talk like this if Daddy thought a little of me. I own shares in Bonham Company and will never sell my shares to anyone!" Firm and emphasis, that is the figure of Helena who is currently seen in the eyes of Jorge and Margaret. The two did not expect that Helena had already grown into a mature woman and was so brave. Though some time ago, Helena was still a naive woman and blinded by love.
Margaret and Jorge glanced at each other through the corner of the eye. Surely not wanting Helena to mess up the meeting this time, it was quite difficult to gather and convince the shareholders for an important meeting this time.
"Helen, you're not needed here. Moreover, you don't understand the company's problems. Besides, where might we sell your shares." Margaret, who had been silent since, now let out her voice. Kinkling so as not to further arouse the suspicion of the princess.
When she heard Margaret's words, Helena gave a wry smile. "Outside people are forbidden to speak. Aren't you also not needed here, so why are you in a meeting room like this?" Isn't it strange that Margaret was involved in the meeting this time. She only knows how to spend money, she thought.
"You...." Margaret was struck by emotion, the words of her daughter continued to raise her anger that had been held back since.
"Enough Helen!" snapped Jorge was unable to tolerate Helena's attitude. "You better get out of the meeting room. We're just talking about a routine meeting this month, so you don't have to overdo it like this!" Trying to hold back emotions, because all eyes are looking at him. He did not want his hard-built good image to be destroyed in an instant.
"really?" One eyebrow of Helena raised with a line of lips that also lifted. Only a foolish woman immediately believed the old man's words and unfortunately she was not a stupid woman like some time ago. Highlight the eyes of Helena glanced at the map on the table, the map that had been held by Margaret. Whether conscious or not, the old woman showed how important the map was. Helena looked up at Mikel who was just a spectator there. It was not the realm of that man to interfere in Helena's affairs. Looking at Mikel who nodded, Helena understood. He then walked over to Margaret, so that made the mother gasp.
Maintaining his own property was necessary, but Margaret forgot that the map in her hand was a soft copy of a power of attorney that had been spiked with a fake signature. Because Helena felt she had never signed a power of attorney regarding the shares to be sold.
"Give me Helen. It's mine!" Margaret wanted to reclaim the map, but Helena had already read what it contained and did not let Margaret take it back.
One line of Helena's lips lifted upwards. It was amazing that the two humans had devised a mature plan and manipulated his signature. Helena returned to her original position, leaving Margaret with a crimson face. He wanted to pull the daughter's hair but Jorge first held her.
"Alright, there seems to be a misunderstanding here." Helena threw a smile at the meeting participants who were staring at her. "I Helena Bonham affirm to you that I will never sell this stock to anyone. That means the 25% stake will still be mine. Any meeting should involve me or my representatives when I'm not present." Helena's eyes were then fixed on the figure of a man younger than Jorge. "Mr Alarick will be my representative when I am absent." All eyes hit on the figure of Alarick. One of the shareholders in the Bonham Company, although only has a 3% stake but is the only man trusted by Helena and Mikel.
Alarick stood up, he gave a bow of respect to all who were there. "Well Miss, I'll be happy to keep Miss' trust." Smiling satisfied Helena saw how Jorge and Margaret were flabbergasted in disbelief. It turns out that there are still some who fully support his daughter. And they don't suspect the man, who turns out to be working with Mikel and Helena, is supporting them both.
"Then thank you very much for today. Sorry for taking your time" Helena said loudly.
They whispered to each other, not suspecting that this meeting was just a misunderstanding. Though some of them intend to buy the 25% shares. Feeling incompatible with the results, they finally decided to go from there with a feeling of annoyance of course because they had wasted their precious time.
Helena, Mikel, Jorge and Margaret and Nathan are standing at the door. Nathan will move forward of course if Mikel needs his help.
BRACKET
"Bad! Jalaang woman!" Margaret spilled her frustration by pounding the table.
"You??!" Margaret moved forward, about to throw a slap, but....
Plaques
Jorge's hand first landed freely on Helena's left cheek.
BUGH
Mikel punched Jorge in the face in return for slapping Helena. From now on he was silent, but if he had played violence of course he had to move.
"How dare you hit me!" Jorge shouted in disbelief, his jaw full of black and white feathers was hit hard by Mikel and certainly left a great pain.
"And you also dared to slap your own daughter!" Mikel shouted back. If Jorge had not played a hand, he would not have given a bogeman in Jorge's face.
"He's humiliating me!" hardik Jorge's.
"And you've gone crazy trying to sell his shares!"
Jorge chuckles. "He didn't deserve the shares. He even prefers his business that is not how much it is and leaves the company. How can the Bonham Company develop into more developed if its actions do not reflect the daughter of the Bonham Family."
"You and your wife kicked him out. Do I need to remind you three years ago that you and your affair were happy about Anna Carl's death! Where is your compassion for your daughter when she struggles with her fears and you love making love to that woman of your affair!" Mikel reminds me of the events of a few years ago. From where he got the information, of course from an informant who had been working at the Bonham Family residence without their knowledge.
"I'm not an affair. I am his wife!" Margaret was wrathful, not accepting that she was always cornered.
"Margareth enough!" Jorge restrained Margaret's shoulders so that she would not get out of control.
Mikel did not care, he looked down at the old woman. The corner of his eyes glanced at Helena who seemed to be shaken due to the cross-section done by Jorge.
"You're a woman, you shouldn't have taken another woman's property!" Mikel's increasingly sarcastic words made Margaret really looked down upon.
"Anna took my husband. Jorge and I were married before Jorge married Anna!"
Duars!
What Margaret had just said shocked everyone. Especially Helena, the woman looked at Margaret with anger. What is this reality?
Jorge silenced Margaret's lips with a slap for revealing their marriage. It did not rule out the possibility that Margaret would dismantle everything in front of Helena and Mikel if it did not immediately prevent it.
