Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 61

　　Michael eyes went wide in horror and he hurriedly got up reaching for the door in milliseconds.

　　The moment he went out he saw June crying her eyes out. He stood above her with his face laced with worry and anger, “How did this happen?” he gritted his teeth and made his hands into a fist.

　　June rushed over to him and cried even more, “President, they took her. We were walking back to the company and…” she started to break down again.

　　“Alex, take her to my office.” He said and strode off to his office with anger radiating off his body.

　　Alex placed her on the couch and turned to his boss, “What is the next move boss?”

　　Michael ran his palm over his face and sucked in a breath. He took out his phone from his pocket and made a call. Once he was through he responded to Amex’s question, “Go back to the conference room on my behalf. I have already called Malcolm for assistance.”

　　Alex left for the conference room.

　　“Give me a moment.” Michael told June before he walked off to the lounge only to meet someone he didn’t expect to see there.

　　…

　　The conference room was still booming with opinions. With James being the most vocal of all.

　　Christopher haven’t said a word since he’s there. His father told him to keep quiet before they got there and he was grateful for he had no intention to. He tired of being pulled in the wrong direction.

　　He was always backing his father and justifying his action but since lately, he is having a different view towards life. He is tired of isolating himself from civilization due to his father’s actions.

　　The old men of the Miller and Matthews families was fuming with anger at this moment. They can hardly back Michael when he is obviously not caring if he lose the company or not. He even walked out of the meeting without an explanation.

　　“Dad, it is obvious that Christopher is the better choice. Your perfect Grandson walked out on the meeting. What kind of leadership is that?” James snorted but inwardly he was overjoyed.

　　He wanted Michael out of the room with his intimidating presence. He hardly speak but he can have everyone on edge with just a glance or less.

　　There was a lot of murmuring here and there. People were arguing about who should be the new CEO and where their loyalty falls.

　　“Everybody keep quiet.” Cough! Cough! Grandpa Matthews was not healthy as before.

　　John rushed to him, “Dad, are you okay?”

　　He fanned him off gesturing that he is fine.

　　He looked up at Michael’s PA and asked, “Where is Michael?”

　　“He has something important to attend to so he had to leave sir.” Alex responded politely.

　　Grandpa Matthews slap the table in anger, “More important than the company?”

　　Alex flinched a little but Grandpa Matthews continued before he could respond to his question.

　　“We have been here over two hours with this back and forth. We cannot wait for Michael any longer. James, I have considered all your arguments and you did made some valid points but we still have to go through a vote which might not work in your favor.” Grandpa Matthews voiced out clear enough for everyone in the room to hear.

　　…

　　In a warehouse a little out of the town, a young lady was tied up in a dark room.

　　“Before I kill you, I will let all these men defile your body.” He slapped her face.

　　She spat on him even though she can only see his silhouette, “Fuck you bastard. Let us see who will have the last laugh.” Her cheek was on fire from the slap.

　　Ashton jumped in shocked. This is not Ariana’s voice. Did the men kidnapped the wrong person?”

　　He rushed to the light switch just to see that it was the twin sister. Does this mean that the Miller family is aware? He went into a panic attack as he fumbled to take out his phone to call James just to get voicemail.

　　He composed himself and approached her in anger, “What kind of game are you playing here?”

　　Before Samantha could respond, the door was kicked off its hinges and Malcolm rushed in along with several other officers.

　　He was blazing in anger as he kicked Ashton to the ground as he cried out in pain, “Take him away along with all the others outside.”

　　He rushed to Samantha and his features soften instantly. He loosened the rope around her hands and feet. He pulled her into a tight hug.

　　“Baby, I am sorry you had to go through all of this. This is the reason I didn’t want you to risk your life with this switch.” He complained while gently touching her slapped cheek.

　　“It took you long enough.” Samantha scold him. “Even though I was happy to do it for my sister.”

　　“I know you miss your sister but I don’t want you risking your life anymore.” He told her while carrying her bridal style to his car.

　　She smiled at his protectiveness and kiss his cheek, “Let us go to the company.”
