The Devil's Love For The Heiress novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55:

The Person Who Ruined My Afternoon While everybody in the room signed a new confidentiality agreement, Carlos, Alexander, and Kate stood at the front.

“It is no secret that Alex and I were involved in the recent police entrapment operation in France, putting a stop to the sports gambling corruption, and with that came risks to our lives – mine and Alex, including those who are connected to us,” Carlos explained.

“It was the reason Kate and I kept our relationship a secret,” The Devil added. “Thus, you must understand how talking about me, my whereabouts, and about Kate will put everyone’s life at risk.”

“Yes. That includes everyone here in this room,” Carlos suggested. “So this new contract is not just to bind you legally from talking about us, it will also be your protection.”

“Again, we are really sorry for not being upfront with you.” This time, Kate spoke. “But we had our reasons.” She shrugged, revealing, “Even Carlos kept many things from me at the start to protect me.” “Does everyone understand?” Carlos asked, and all employees gave their acknowledgment. “Yes, Mister Ronaldo.”

“We understand, Miss Kate.” Molly, who had been granted one last chance, held the pen with a quivering hand. She said, “I won’t say a word. I promise.”

“I hope this is a lesson learned for you, Molly,” Alexander said. “You are here to work, and just keep it that way.” He scanned the room and reminded, “We did not come here to compare, be jealous, and we especially did not come here to pry in the lives of others.” “Yes, Mister Jenkins. Yes,” Molly agreed. “It won’t happen again.”

The three company owners received more acknowledgments from the employees, and soon, Catrina and Arman collected all the signed documents. While all this was happening, Oliver’s head peeked inside the conference room, giving Kate and Carlos a nod. They both knew who had arrived.

“Everyone,” Carlos announced. “We would like to acknowledge the arrival of a special guest As of today, I have verbally agreed to sell him 5% of the company shares. Thus, he will be a shareholder of CSK Apparel, someone who expects the performance of your lives in driving the company to its success.”

Heads snapped in the door direction, curious who the new shareholder was.

Two men in black suits walked in; both their stances screamed of dominance. They stood at the door as if making way for a greater force to walk through it. Everyone understood how they were, a powerful man’s bodyguards.

Shortly, a handsome and tall man entered the conference room. His intense brown eyes narrowed as he inspected each employee in the room. He carried around him a chilly air that, with his gaze alone, shivers ran down everyone’s spine.

Even Alexander felt the threatening stare of one, Kyle Wright, “Please help me welcome my older brother, the CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation, Kyle Wright,” Kate introduced, and alternately, they greeted him. “Good afternoon, Mister Wright,” Catrina said first, and the rest followed.

“Good afternoon, Mister Wright.”

“It’s an honor, Mister Wright.”

“What! Is so good about the afternoon?” Kyle asked, his tone ice cold.

Silence fell upon them. Except for Carlos and Kate, all the people in the room held their breaths.

“When I learned that someone tried to humiliate my sister, I decided to buy shares in Carlos’ company,” Kyle said while walking in a prolonged manner, his eyes searching for the culprit.” No one is allowed to bully my sister or anyone in my family! If you weren’t scared of my sister, then this company needs me in it!”

Making his way to where Carlos and Kate stood, Kyle asked, “Tell me, who was it that tried to humiliate my sister?” When there was no answer, he repeated, “WHO?!” His voice rang in their heads, making their skins crawl once more. “It was Molly, Mister Wright,” Raffa pushed Molly in front of him. “Although, we have already settled things, and she commits not to do it again,” Catrina explained.
