The Heir

DOMINIC was getting a little impatient as he waited for the secretary to come back. He stood up when the conference room doors opened. The president of the LS Group, Vanessa Smith, strode towards him bearing a poker-faced look that she always showed her clients. He fixed his tie and suit and flashed a smile.

“I am very sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Parker. I am in the middle—”

“No worries,” he cut her off. “After all, we just have to sign the contract, and we are—”

“Mr. Parker.” He did not like her tone; there was something in her voice that tells him there was something wrong. “About that… LS Group will no longer renew the cooperation with your company.”

“What?” He loosened his tie and ran his fingers through his hair. “Our companies have been partners for years. What is wrong with you, Vanessa?”

He saw her jaw clenched, which irritates him more.

“It doesn’t matter how long we have been in this contract. It was the president’s decision, and it is final.”

Dominic’s brows furrowed. “You are the president, Vanessa.”

“Well, there have been changes. I am no longer the president of this company.”

He slammed his hand on the conference table.

“Then let me talk to the new president so I can explain to him what he is missing.”

“It would be nice if you leave this place already,” Vanessa said nonchalantly and turned her back on him.
