Chapter 73

A week later, the news had officially broken out that the infamous Scott Vanderbilt had joined the company and would now sit amongst the esteemed fellow investors and panel.

The new had first been delivered to the board of directors themselves before the company released an official statement to the business world. No one seemed to be opposed to it at all and all Pheard about it had been good things all ranging from how the benefits this would bring the company to how amazing I had been at securing such a prolific man.

Even within the company, the employees were all pleased by this and it made me feel good about this decision. I did have my doubts but from my findings, Scott never messed around in business and had built a reputation for being skilled, sharp, and very decisive.

Lucy herself was more than ecstatic by the news but that was because she knew the true benefit having Scott as part of the company brought to us giving the situation with Dante.

As you could imagine, the only person that didn’t express their joy by this move was Dante. He was not entirely happy about it or at all, to say the least but I had taken that as a rather good sign.

It meant that Dante knew his position now. He knew that Scott was on an equal footing with him and he now had a challenge, a worthy opponent, no longer making him the most prized investor of the company. Don’t get me wrong, Dante was still vital to the company but he wouldn’t be able to make demands and call the shots as easily as he once did.

Scott would invest just as generously in to the company as Dante rendering Dante’s position less glamourous and awe–worthy.

Dante hadn’t shown much of himself to me ever since that night when I lost my cool with him. He seemed to have given up easily which only made me feel like I had made the correct choice. If he could so easily switch it all off then was it even real in the first place?

I gave my head a small shake not wanting to go down that line of thought again. I brought my attention back to the email I had been sending off consisting of the final documents over to Scott’s assistant when there was a knock on my office door.

“Come in.” I called out and the door opened and Adam walked in all dressed in a pair of dark jeans and formal shirt tucked nearly in to the hem.

“Not your usual apparel.” I noted before pressing the send tab on the email before I looked back at Adam.

“I couldn’t think of a blazer in this heat.” He made a face of disgust like the added layer gave him

the ick.

It had been a fairly warm day today so I could understand his sentiment. Even Lucy passed on coffee this morning because of the heat.

“What brings you here?” I asked Adam lightly.
