“Sir, even Miss Rose doesn't want you anymore, how can you still be so arrogant in front of the shareholders?”
I shook my head slightly, trying hard not to laugh out loud as I responded, “Sergio, I'm different from you. I work hard and never rely on women.”
Before I could finish my words, the place exploded.
“You stinking loser, who do you think you are? How dare you threaten our shareholders?”
“That's right, people who don't know you would think you're so awesome, but you're just a useless gigolo.”
“If you don't apologize to everyone today, don't even think about leaving the Rose Family alive!”
They were talking and mocking me at the same time and they seemed very excited.
Being a good businessman, keen insight was a basic skill.
The moment I stepped through the door, I could sense the undercurrent. Shareholders and assistants exchanging glances, whispering suggestively, deliberately fanning the flames of scandal between Amanda and me.
It was obvious. They had orchestrated this together well in advance.
Their real goal today was not about right or wrong, it was to drive me out of the Rose Family, replace me with Sergio and carve up the benefits among themselves.
