Eric's POV "Good morning Boss!" John said respectfully. I nodded my head and went to my cabin. John is my brother's assistant and most trusted man. After coming to the office I found out that my brother accepted many new projects in just a few weeks which he still has not started. And in these few weeks, he didn't attend any business meetings either. Because of this many clients and business associates are angry with him and his neglecting behavior. After fighting with dad, he started neglecting everything, even the company. Seeing all the mess, I sighed in my heart and then called John to come into my cabin. "Yes, Boss! " John came inside with some files. Apart from my parents, John is a person who knows about my identity. "John, send me all the project details which Erish accepted but their work didn't start until now, " I said with a serious face. "Boss, this is all the files. I already prepared everything. " He put the files in front of me. "Did Dad tell you to do all this? " I raised my eyebrows. "Yes, Boss! The Elder Master already gave me orders to prepare everything in advance for you. In case you want any details and information related to any projects." He calmly explained everything just like any professional. I nodded and started to look one by one at all the files in front of me and after checking all of them, I asked him to call a meeting within half an hour with all the business associates. " Yes boss," He said lightly and left the cabin. 20 minutes later I went to the conference hall with John. A few minutes later everyone hurriedly came and sat over their chairs. " As all of you know, that company accepted many big projects and none of them started until now. So, today's meeting purpose is all this big project. We will discuss all the details related to them and how can all of that be handled in less time? " I explained everything. " So Mr. Brooks, did you think of any solution for all of this? " one of them asked. " Yes, all projects will be divided in equal ways to the management groups and general groups. After dividing them, all project work starts from tomorrow and I will give each project to each member under these groups. And there will be one month to complete all the projects, " I said. But hearing my explanation, everyone's face lost its colors. " But Mr. Brooks, Don't you think it is inappropriate to give us a few weeks to complete all of these big projects? You already know how time-consuming all of these things are. On normal days for completing one project at least, we need three months and now you are asking us to complete many big projects in just one month! impossible!! " Their faces are serious when one of them explains his points. " I know what everyone is thinking! But we have no other choice for now. This is the only best option which I already explained. If we don't complete this project within this month then our clients can sue us and the company. We have to bear all the losses for them and it's not that we can't bear the loss or we are lacking money and power. But the company's performance and capabilities become questionable for outside people and we lose our reputation in the market which is a huge loss for us than losing a few amounts of money. " I coldly stare at them. " So don't make impulsive decisions. You all have to be patience with me. I promise I will give you all my 100% support financially, physically, and mentally. And if still there are any losses, I will be the only one who will bear all the losses as the big shareholder. And if everything goes according to the plan, we earn profit then all the profits will distribute equally to all of us. " I was calm. After hearing me, all of them communicated within themselves and finally nodded their heads in yes. " Okay then, if everyone is ready. Then let me tell you the one last thing! You all need to be serious with all these projects and there should be no scope for negligence of any kind here, " I said in a bossy tone. Everyone's body trembles with fear and anxiety after hearing my voice but they all nod their heads in yes. " If anyone needs any help with a project related, just talk to John. He will help you with everything. " After saying that I left the cabin with John. I took a long breath after sitting on the couch comfortably. " What a busy day! " I closed my eyes to take some rest when someone knocked on the door. " Come in, " I answered with closed eyes. " Boss, This is your black coffee! " He places the cup on the table in front of the couch. I slowly opened my eyes and curiously asked, seeing the black coffee, " Did my father give you all the information? " He nodded " Yes Boss! The Elder Master told me that even if you both brothers look the same but in other aspects, you both are different. So, I have fully prepared myself before working with you as your special assistant! " " You are really smart! Now I know why my father chose you and told you everything even when we don't share this information with our close one! " " Thank you, Boss! For trusting me. I will never let you down! " Bowing his head respectfully. Suddenly I remembered a female employee whom my brother loves so I tried to ask him about her. " John, is that female employee still working in the office? " My face was serious when I asked about her and to my surprise, he understood whom I was asking! " No boss! She gave her resignation letter a few weeks ago already after the elder master threatened her with her family. " His face is as calm as before when he explained everything to me. I nodded " Now, you can go home. It's already late! " " But Boss! What about you? " his facial reaction changed. " I need to check some more files and details for all the projects. " I say in a normal tone. "Then Boss! I will also stay with you for your help ! " his eyes looked at me with determination. " No need! You go! I can do work myself. There is no need for you to stay. " my face turned serious. This time he didn't object to me and bowed his head respectfully " Okay Boss! As you say! " Seeing his manners it would be a lie if I say I wasn't impressed. He knows very well when he should speak and when he should be silent, which is the best quality of any employee. He left the room and I silently rested my head over the couch and blankly started staring at the roof. If I am busy at work, I don't need to go home, and this way I can maintain distance with Angela. After thinking that I feel both relaxed and upset. But there is no choice for me now. If I spend more time with her I can lose control anytime. That's why it is right for now. But still, I need to inform her about my staying in the office for some important work, so I first thought to call her but I don't know how she will react, so I just simply text her that I need to do overtime and I can't go back to home tonight. And to my surprise, she replied to me instantly saying that she understood my situation and told me to eat my dinner in the time before doing any work. Reading her message the corner of my lips raised slightly and my heart felt warm.
