The Heir

chapter 20

“OH!” Vanessa almost jumped in surprise upon seeing Maximilian sitting on the swivel chair when she entered the president’s office. “I didn’t expect to see you here today.” She dropped her bag on the couch and folded her arms.

“I ran some errands for my wife, and I decided to drop by.” Maximilian grabbed a pen from the holder and played it with his fingers. “Did she call you?”

“Who?” Vanessa’s brows furrowed.

“Victoria.”

“No. She never called me since that day she came here. Why, is there something that concerns the company or me?”

“Well, her grandmother is hosting a banquet, and Victoria was given this task to invite you and the new president.” He returned the pen to the holder. “I told her to invite you.”

“And?” Vanessa arched a brow.

“You are to say yes to the invitation, of course.” Maximilian rose to his feet. He was about to leave when she spoke again.

“How about you?”

“I will be there.”

“Not as the LS Group president, I guess.”

“It is not the time yet.”

“And when is the right time, Maximilian?” Vanessa cocked her head to the side. “You know that you can’t hide your identity forever, especially to the board of directors. Everyone is looking forward to seeing you. I had to lie to them by saying that the chairman is still training you before taking over the company.”

“You did well.” He clapped his hands and stopped immediately when Vanessa rolled her eyes.
