Is It Possible To Tame The Heartless CEO? - Chapter 139

“I am sorry Miss, but the chairman appointed me as his power of attorney and I am here. I suggest we should not vote now for the position. You should stop the voting process.” Mr Martin said in a serious tone.

“What do you mean? Are not you a mere assistant? How can you suggest the board stop the voting? And….and are you his power of attorney? How can he appoint you as his power of attorney? “Miss Lucy Lin asked in an angry tone.

“Miss Lucy Lin. Here you can have a look. As a power of attorney of the Chairman, I have the right to stop the voting for the time being. I suggest you all should wait for at least a few days.”Mr Martin replied.

“Mr Martin, my father has only forty percentages of shares of this company. And I and he are also the major shareholders of the company. He is absent from here now also he is sick. That’s why we two had decided to vote for the new Chairman. You can not stop us.” Miss Lucy Lin said.

“Miss Lucy Lin. The Chairman is holding forty percentages of shares of this company. Here is another file of another shareholder. This is for another twenty percentages of the company share document. This person has also given me the right to stop voting.

So now I am the power of attorney of the total sixty per cent of the company. So, now I am suggesting stopping the voting process immediately. You have only fifteen percentages of the share of the company. You can not proceed with it.” Mr Martin said and forwarded two files toward Miss Lucy Lin. Lucy Lin opened the file and had a look at it.

“Who is that mysterious shareholder who also appointed as his power of attorney as well as the Chairman? Why that person never attended the board meeting? As per the rule, he is the second-largest shareholder of this company. But he never showed up here. Why is he not appearing in front of all of us?”One of the directors asked Mr. martin curiously.

“That person does not want to present in these types of meetings. That is the reason for his absence from the previous meetings also. And as our Chairman was fit and fine earlier, that person was not needed to appear here. But as it is time to select for the New Chairman, that person sent these documents. That person also mentioned that he would appear in future meetings if there is any need.

So you don’t need to worry about him. And yes, one more thing I want to remind you all that even if you have to change the Chairman, that person has the right to fight for the Chair as the second-largest shareholder of this company. So kindly inform me beforehand, so that I would be able to invite that person here to attend the meeting.”Mr Martin said with a smile.

“Mr Martin, this is too much. He is my father. How can you make him sign those papers? How can he appoint you as his power of attorney? You have gone too far this time. I will make you regret this.

And about the other shareholder, we all want to meet him in person. He can not hide forever from us. He needs to appear now. What do you think?”Miss Lucy Lin said and looked at all the directors present there.

“Yes. He must appear in front of us. I just can not understand, why is he hiding? Ask him to appear in front of us. We want to meet with that person. How can he keep himself in shadow forever?” One of the directors said.

“Yes. We also think as Miss Lucy Lin said.” everyone nodded their head in positive.

“So it is now decided. As you are holding these documents, we would not do anything about the position of the chairman. But the position can not remain vacant for a long time. It will hear the company. So we would like to reschedule the voting for one week. If the Chairman would come back to the company within one week, it is ok. But if he would not be able to come back, we just have to select a new chairman. So everyone must present for that. As that person to present here in person.” One of the directors announced after discussed the matter with others.

“Ok. I agreed.” Mr Martin and others said and left the conference room.

“Lucy, what happened? Why are you home this early? Has something happened in the company?” Mrs Lin asked worriedly as she saw Lucy Lin reached home early that day.

“Mom, I am going to my room. Please don’t follow me.” Lucy Lin said in an annoyed tone when she saw her mother was following her to her room.

“Lucy, what happened? You can tell me. You can share everything. I will help you. Please don’t keep the things on yourself.”Mr Lin said worriedly.

“Mom, do you know what happened in the company today? I was going to be the Chairman of the company. But that Martin stopped me as the voting just started .”

“What how can this be possible? How can he do this? From where did he get that courage?”

“Dad has appointed him as his power of attorney to do this.”

“What? How can your father do this?” Mrs Lin asked in a shocked tone.

“He did it. But why did he appoint his assistant as his power of attorney instead of you? Should not he give that power to you as his wife?” Miss Lucy Lin asked in a confused tone.

“Lucy, there is something you still don’t know. Your father never trusted me. He ….he must have done this for ….for that woman.”Mr Lin said in an angry tone and lost in deep thought.

When Nina Anderson and James Thomson reached the home, Nina was shocked to see a lot of guards near their apartment.

“Mr Thomson, why are there so many guards here?” She asked in a  shocked tone.

“Darling, I don’t want to take any chance. I can not let those people tp harm you. And now when it is confirmed that those people are related to the High clouds Enterprise, I must be more careful. Now come in. I will make your favourite food.”Mr James Thomson said with a smile and opened the door for her.

“But some other people are also staying in this building. Will not it be inconvenient for those people? You can not make things hard for them. They would curse me for this. So please decrease the number of guards. Two people are sufficient for now.” Nina Anderson said in a worried tone.

James Thomson smiled and took her hand on his.

“Don’t worry dear. I will not let anyone got disturbed by my guards. Now go and get changed am going to the kitchen.”

“Okay.” Nina Anderson said and entered her room. As James Thomson forwarded towards the kitchen his mobile phone rang. He looked at the caller id. It was from the leader of his bodyguards.

“Hello….Ok. Let him come in.” He said and forwarded towards the living room. The doorbell rang. James Thomson opened the door for the person. It was Mr Martin. Mr Martin was shocked to see James Thomson opened the door for him.

“M….Mr. Thomson! Why are you here? I…..I mean is not this Miss Nina Anderson’s house? II did not know that you would be here.”Mr Martin said in a surprised tone.

“Mr Martin, are not you a capable assistant of the Chairman? How can you be such outdated? As you are trying to meet Miss Nina Anderson, you should know about me also. And how can you disturb me at this hour? You should know that I don’t like to receive anyone at this hour. “James Thomson said in a cold tone.

“Mr Thomson, I am sorry to disturb you at this hour. I need to meet with Miss Nina Anderson. I was trying to meet her for the last two days, but I could not. I did not know that those guards are here as you are here .”

“They are not here for me. They are here for protecting her. So don’t try to use your tricks on her. I know that it was you who tried to abduct her that day and removed all the pieces of evidence thereafter. Mr Martin, I don’t know what are you keeping under your sleeves. But just remember one thing. I am here to protect my woman. Don’t dare to touch even her single hair. Otherwise, I will ruin you and your boss. Don’t think that she is here alone as before. Now you can leave. I don’t want to waste my time with the persons like you.” James Thomson said in a cold tone.
