TRAUMA LOVE
#36
All eyes were immediately fixed on the figure standing before the door. Rhys entered the meeting room gallantly with Finn behind him and brought some maps.
“Good day, gentlemen all,” greet Rhys with a smile etched on his face.
Rhys' eyes looked at Uncle Ronald sharply as if he wanted to skin the man down. That made Uncle Ronald slightly lowered his head and immediately moved his seat because the place he currently occupied belonged to Rhys.
Rhys stood before all of them and stared one by one each face there. He smiled faintly and looked towards the big screen, where he could still see the manipulated financial statements.
“You did a meeting together, why not invite me?” ask Rhys.
Uncle Ronald, who felt he was going to win, began to make his voice.
“No need to mince words, Rhys! Alban company belongs to my sister, why did you just destroy it with your bad actions!” Uncle Ronald deliberately emphasized the words of his sister so that shareholders would later choose him as a replacement for Rhys.
“Really! I didn't think you would do that! You cheated us, Mr. Rhys,” said one shareholder.
“Yes! And you don't want to be led by a fraud. We've seen all the evidence and we think you should resign immediately. We better decide who will replace Mr. Rhys,” said another shareholder.
“I think Mr. Ronald is the most deserving in that position. He is the older brother of Mr. Dave and I believe he can run this company well.”
Some shareholders agreed. Meanwhile Rhys and Finn just look at the interaction between them, without the desire to interfere.
“Then, do all agree if I am the CEO of Alban Company at this time?” Uncle Ronald stood up from his seat and a sense of pride as if starting to encompass him.
“Agree!!” Almost all cheered, while the rest looked towards Rhys and still hoped that what happened was just a dream.
“Then I am officially the CEO of Alban Company. My first decision was to kick Rhys out of this company. I don't want to keep fraudsters and traitors here!”
“Huuuu!!” Cheers filled the room again and Rhys just smiled sarcastically at it.
“Sayangggg!!!” The door of the meeting room opened and saw Eve enter there.
Rhys slightly rewinded his body, he no longer wanted to be close to Eve. However, it turns out that Eve did not approach him, but rather approached Uncle Ronald. Rhys' eyes instantly rounded and made him turn towards Finn. Finn just sniffed his shoulders at the sign of ignorance.
Eve wrestles spoiled on Uncle Ronald's arm, causing Rhys to stare at the woman's disgust.
“So Rhys, I need you to vacate your room immediately. I'll be occupying it soon. Isn't that right, baby?” Uncle Ronald embraced Eve affectionately, making Rhys even more mocking the two inwardly.
It turns out you two are the same, wolf in sheep's clothing. Pretending to be hurt, but stabbing from behind. The decision from my heart turned out to be true, you will never deserve to be a Madam Rhys Alban. I also began to believe that the child in your womb was not mine, for I could not remember that night at all, in the least.
“Hmm ... of course, dear.”
“And we're both getting married soon,” Uncle Ronald smiles at Eve and kisses the woman's lips.
“Yes, because now I'm pregnant with our baby,” said Eve who again kissed Uncle Ronald's lips.
“Rhys, I didn't hear wrong, did I?” Whisper Finn.
“Of course not! You heard very clearly. So, can we start the show now? Looks like we got an extra player figure,” Rhys said.
Plok plok plok plok plok
Rhys clapped his hands, “you guys are amazing. I am so happy with your wedding plans. Eve, is there nothing you want to tell me?”
“Tell you? Ah of course there is. I hope you can live out there without money. Good thing I haven't married you, otherwise .. I would be ashamed to have a vagrant husband like you,” Eve said.
Rhys instructs Finn to start their show.
“Then, I will give you a final gift for all of you. I'll remember here,” Rhys pointed to his temple, “Who is loyal and who is a traitor.”
All the shareholders sat down to see Finn prepare something. The large screen that originally displayed the report of the manipulation results, has now changed.
Rhys sat still and smiled as the lights in the meeting room turned off to make what was on the screen clearer. A video that was the result of CCTV began to be played.
A room that was very recognizable to everyone present there, began to be displayed. One by one interaction occurs. Uncle Ronald who did not expect that in the room had a CCTV camera, immediately tense and sweat began to wet the temple.
Eve, who was next to Uncle Ronald, began to feel tense. He, who initially embraced Uncle Ronald, now let go of the middle-aged man and held on to the chair he was sitting in at the moment.
The CCTV footage began to show how Uncle Ronald forced a contract employee, who was still on probation, to manipulate some of the numbers in the report. What Uncle Ronald can't deny is that the video also shows their voice recordings, not just pictures.
When the employee was finished, he gave it to a supervisor and manager who immediately signed without checking. Inside Uncle Ronald's room, the manager smiled and gave his work.
“Already. It's all done, sir,” said the manager.
“Good. This time I'm sure it will be very easy to drop it.”
“Don't forget my services, Mister,” said the manager again.
“Of course. I'll make sure you rise to become finance director. All you need to do is support me to become a CEO,” Uncle Ronald said.
“I will always support you, Mr.”
“Alright, you can come out.”
In the video, Uncle Ronald smiles while holding the map. The video is then interrupted and connected to a video in which Eve enters the room and begins to sit on Uncle Ronald's lap.
The two made out with each other and began to exchange saliva. Even the sound of the two was so audible in the recording. Eve started to get hot cold and her seat started to unsettle.
When Eve begins to lift the bottom of the dress she is wearing, Finn turns off the video.
“I think you already know what will happen next, so there is no need for us to do a show together, is not it?” Rhys said half ridiculingly.
Eve's face was red. He who had just insulted Rhys, seemed to plunge to the bottom of the abyss because he was being humiliated.
“If you want to see the actual financial statements, Finn will immediately share them with you one by one. Oya, one more ...”
Rhys looked at Finn and his assistant walked straight to the door. He opened the door and let someone in. Uncle Ronald's face began to pias because he was sure that the young woman would say it all.
He is also unlikely to defend himself because all the evidence is so clear and all points to him.
“Can you show me who asked you to do all that?” finn asked a woman named Stephanie.
Stephanie pointed directly at Uncle Ronald. In addition, he took something out of his pocket. Yeah, voice recording when he was threatened if he didn't follow Uncle Ronald's words. He did it because he was not usually called into the room. He's just on guard.
Insolent, it turns out he is also quite ingenious - inner Uncle Ronald while clenching his hands.
