Just get the job done
The elevator slowly opened, and Daniel Ferguson along with a couple of old dudes walked out, looking confused like children separated from their parents at the grocery store.
When Daniel‘s eyes locked with Elijah, he scowled slightly, and then walked over to them, saying, “It‘s you.”
“Who are these guys?” Elijah questioned, raising an eyebrow at the other.
Looking back, Daniel stared at his colleagues‘ faces, and then faced Elijah saying, “Mr. Boone, Elrod, Madden, Laurier, Viotto, Fox, Caddel, Francis, and Mr. Amana… The members of the board.”
“You are…” Mr. Elrod stated bluntly, gazing at Elijah. “Madam Jewel‘s new grandson–in–law… Where is your wife.”
“Home,” Elijah said with a casual expression.
An awkward silence settled in the atmosphere as the board of directors ignored him and then stared around.
And almost in unison, they focused back on Elijah and asked, “Where is everyone?”
“Gone,” Elijah said in the same indifferent manner.
“Gone?” Mr. Fox repeated with a disbelieving look. “Gone where?!”
Getting a bit frustrated with the questioning, Elijah rubbed his forehead and said, “I
fired them.”
“What?! Are you crazy!?” Mr. Caddel blurted out. “Where is your wife? Why did she
let you here unsupervised, after all, she now owns this place?!”
The way Elijah‘s expression shifted from calm to annoyed made them instantly
change their tone from demanding to worried ones.
“You ten should go home too and come back on Saturday for the board meeting,”
Elijah said flatly.
“But…” Mr. Laurier stuttered, pausing when Elijah looked away from them.
Focusing on Dice, Elijah‘s face hardened as he said, “Can you get a couple of men to come here? This company is going under lockdown for now, and no one not allowed in this building should be here. If they are, throw them out.”
“I am on it, boss.” Dice let out before walking off to make the call.
A look of annoyance clouded the faces of the directors, but they didn‘t argue, and instead, walked back to . the elevator to get their things from their offices.
Suddenly, Elijah‘s phone buzzed, and he shut his eyes to calm his stress. After the second rang, he drew a deep breath and answered the phone, resting it against his ear.
“J, I had thoughts to call you but have been occupied.” Elijah let out calmly.
