The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 5

"That's impossible…"

Violet stared at Casey like a deer in headlights, she couldn't believe her eyes that her once useless classmate was now the president of the board.

She was going to get promoted as the head of her department, she was so proud of it that she had already told her family that she would be treating everyone including all of her relatives to a meal next week, to show off her achievement.

But now the promotion was gone with the wind because of her arrogance, not only she couldn't be promoted, but she might also lose her job.

"Casey, I'm sorry, I was full of myself and I shouldn't have talked down to you like that. Please forgive me, we were once so close as deskmates weren't we?" Violet pleaded desperately.

Aryan glared at her and said coldly, "It's too late for regrets now, you dug your own grave. Security, get her out of the place!"

The securities hurriedly came over and grabbed Violet by the arm, forcefully removing her from the hall.

The people in the hall looked at Casey nervously, they all regretted their actions.

Casey glanced at them and said, "Those who ridiculed me along with Violet just now are to go back and write an apology report, and your salary will be reduced by half."

"Also, the fact that I am the new president of the TY Real Estate Inc. is not to be spoken of. Whoever leaks the news will be fired, understand?"

"Understood!"

The people replied in unison, nobody dared to say anything back.

Casey lost interest in visiting the company, he requested a few things of Aryan and proceeded to leave the hall.

Everyone stood up to see Casey off, they lamented seeing Casey leaving in a very old motorcycle.

"Our new president is a humble person and this is how a president's demeanour should be. All of you should remember this as a life lesson, don't judge a book from its cover and that eagles don't catch flies!" Aryan said.

The people nodded their heads repeatedly.

Casey was in a good mood on his way home, he thought of hinting Edith later to buy the office from the TY Real Estate Inc.

At this moment, he saw Albie and Nyla going into a cafe all secretively, just like thieves.

He was curious, the two were always conspiring something against Edith and nothing good would come out from seeing both of them together. Casey needed to find out what they were planning and hence he parked his bike by the street and put on a simple disguise, he then went into the cafe.

His back was facing the two and was a few tables away from them. Careful about not being discovered, he used a newspaper to hide his face.

Albie and Nyla were talking in low voices but Casey could hear them well and clear.

"Albie, why did you call me here in such a rush, is it something important?" Nyla looked all puzzled.

Albie snickered, "Of course it's something important, and it's something that you will be interested in."

"Really? What is it about?" Nyla pried.

"You dislike Edith, don't you? I've got an idea of how to deal with her and if the plan succeeds, she will fall in disfavour of grandfather, maybe he would even cut her off from the Patel family," said Albie excitedly.
