His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0357

Patrick had never been particularly fond of Carmela and Gavin, but Cirroc was a different story. The kid was young and not really tangled up in the family drama. Patrick figured he would cut him some slack.

He gave Cirroc a once–over and mused, “So, Cirroc, what did you study while you were abroad? Do you have any special talents? And if you were to work with us, what kind of job do you think you’d fit into?”

Cirroc’s face broke into a grin, and he was about to answer when-

“See, I told you he’d say yes!” Carmela’s excitement outshone her son’s as she cut him off.

She shot Cirroc a proud thumbs–up. “I know my boy. He’s got what it takes to do any job!”

“Why not make him deputy general manager to start?” she continued, her voice swelling with pride. “He can work his way up, take over from Amber. I’m not playing favorites–I’m thinking about what’s best for the company. Cirroc’s got the chops to be chairman one day!”

Patrick, who had been all business, could not help but snort at that, his voice dripping with irony.” Alright then, chairman it is. We’ll go with that.”

Carmela froze, her face a picture of shock that slowly turned to a flushed excitement. “You mean. it, Patrick? You’re really going to make Cirroc chairman? You’re not pulling my leg, are you?”
