"Well, now that I want to ask, what was the reason you left London because of my conversation with Roy?"
Instantly the atmosphere became more tense than before. Moreover, Xavier's aura suddenly darkened because he felt that he did not accept his son being underestimated. Even Bastian who was among the three felt nervousness to have to wipe his sweat repeatedly with his handkerchief.
"Why should I be in a situation like this? I'd rather work overtime all night than be among them." Bastian can only be inward and hopes that the tension before him will end soon.
Austin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Instead of answering, Austin asked Bastian to get something back out. And without being asked twice, Bastian picked up the bag he had placed on the sides of both feet, then began to reach for something his master had asked for.
Some maps are already stacked on the glass-based table. And Bastian put it down so carefully as if the glass would crack easily.
Grabbing one of the maps, then Austin pulled the contents out of the map. Only a piece of paper if noticed, but it is very valuable if you already know the contents.
He placed the piece of paper in front of Uncle Zayn. Instantly the middle-aged man frowned in confusion.
"Uncle can read it" Austin said as he watched Uncle Zayn who was reluctant to touch the thin object.
Since it was allowed, Zayn immediately took a piece of paper and read it carefully.
When reading it, Zayn was made to disbelieve. He watched Austin and the contents of the paper together.
"You're acquiring the company and giving it to my daughter?" Truly, Zayn could not say, his lips as if he had suddenly complained.
Xavier was stunned to hear it. Unable to believe it, he immediately snatched the piece of paper from Zayn's hand. Xavier's reaction was similar to Zayn's, surprised. How could his son have acquired a sizable company in Asia in just one year? Ah, it's amazing.
"Son, although I'm not surprised that you're my son, but I acknowledge your greatness." Yes, Xavier was so amazed by his youngest son. In a short time able to master the business world, even though it has not even two years joined the Company.
"You see for yourself, my son cannot be underestimated by anyone. He acquired a sizable company in Asia and gave it to your daughter." Xavier has a smile interspersed with spicy innuendo. The horror that had been held back was completely lost because Austin was able to prove that he was no less competent and worthy to get the woman of his choice without carrying the name of the Romanov Family.
What Xavier says is true and Zayn has to admit it. Even he who has joined the company, not necessarily able to acquire other companies in a short time.
"It's not just that, sir." Suddenly, Bastian joined in on their conversation. He did not care about the gaze of his young master who forbade him to reveal secrets. "Young Master will even become CEO of Amazon Company after acquiring Wings Group earlier."
"Bag...!" Austin was upset that his assistant had not heeded his warning.
"Sorry Young Master, but your father must know about the acquisition of the company so that your position as Director of the Romanov Group Company is not in doubt. If you can't come to the Romanov Group Company, you can provide a solid foundation. Because sooner or later the Amazon leader will appear in public."
Austin could only breathe deeply. But indirectly it justifies the word Bastian.
Xavier was still in shock. He knows that the company engaged in e-commerce is a fairly large company in Europe.
"What are you talking about is the Amazon Company that changed leadership six months ago?" Xavier tried to make sure to Bastian. Because from the news he heard if there was someone who replaced the leadership of the company.
"True Sir." Bastian nodded. "And the young master will receive a handover as CEO within the next week."
Heh. Xavier was unable to say. Even Zayn himself was barely agape. Was the young man before him really Austin? The young man who did not like to highlight his advantages and let his brother Arthur who was at the peak of success.
"You see Zayn, he's my son. And no one can underestimate it, hahahaha." If previously the applause was thunderous, this time the sound of Xavier's laughter was more thunderous.
"Dad, stop." Austin immediately reprimanded his Daddy. He did not want to offend Uncle Zayn, because his goal was only to prove that he was capable and worthy without the need to bear the name of the Romanov Family.
Xavier's laughter subsided. He did not want to ruin his youngest son's plan. After all he was content to laugh at Zayn who could only bend his face.
Austin's views again center on Uncle Zayn. "I didn't mean to offend Uncle with my success. It's just that I thank Uncle for Uncle Zayn's conversation with Uncle Roy one year ago being a motivation for me to move forward again." Both Zayn and Xavier listened seriously. "And Uncle doesn't have to worry about Licia's future because I'm the one who will make sure that she doesn't lack anything. Without Romanov though I can finance my partner later to seven derivatives."
Ah, checkmate. Zayn was made to die of fleas and could not cope with the words Austin, which he felt was like a satire for him. In other words, in his conversation with Roy, he underestimated Austin because he was of Romanov descent and could not do anything without Romanov behind his name.
"Dad, it's time for Daddy to talk. Tell Uncle Zayn if I want to propose to his daughter to be my next door."
"Ohukk...." Xavier coughed as he choked on his own saliva. So this is his son's true purpose. In addition to wanting to prove himself, his youngest son also wanted to propose to the girl. Ah, he had actually been defeated by his two sons. At that time Arthur also openly wanted to marry a woman, until he almost had a heart attack. And this time it repeated back to his youngest son.
Intense breathing heavily, Xavier who sat side by side with Zayn immediately turned his head, even slightly backward to make it easier to talk to Zayn.
"Listen, I don't actually want to do this. But for my son's sake, so I'll do whatever he wants. Because that's...." Xavier paused his sentence and took the time to glance at the son. It was seen that his son was fully expecting him. And for the second time, he again breathed a long breath as if heavy to say it.
"Ck, do you need to go back to learning to spell or even learn how to speak fluently, huh?!" zayn interrupted. Really he can't wait to hear Xavier's sentence that must be paused for some reason. Even though he already knew what the next sentence was, still he felt impatient and wanted this kind of conversation to end soon.
"Shut up! Since you're talking, I've forgotten what I should have said!" fierce Xavier pissed. Just now he wanted to continue his sentence, but Zayn first voiced, so that the words he managed to compose disappeared instantly.
"Haha..." Zayn. Austin was already worried that the two would come back into conflict. "Alright, since I'm a good-natured man, I will understand you. So go on, I'll hear it" Zayn said.
Xavier pulled out a murderous gaze. If only he had not been in this situation, he had already punched Zayn in the face.
Then Xavier cleared his throat as his opening for a sound. "Mr Zayn J. Dear Scott, without prejudice to my resentment towards you and without prejudice to my good looks, I, Xavier Alexander Romanov, would like to propose to your daughter for my son Austin Kendrick Romanov. And I hope you can accept my son to be your son-in-law, because I don't accept rejection!"
Austin clapped his forehead in disbelief at what his Daddy said. And Bastian was taken aback by hearing for the first time a father proposed to a girl for his son with such a sentence. A reaction not much different from Zayn's, the middle-aged man could only shake his head.
"Is this how he proposed to my daughter?" inner flabbergasted.
