" Another thing that I want to tell you why I want you to be the acting CEO, I want you to have the power to take over the Wen Corporation . I heard through some source that uncle Peter is now relinquishing the position of CEO to his oldest son James who has a gambling problem . I heard he had been losing big at the Casino in Macao and Las Vegas . If he takes over the company, sooner or later he will start selling shares to supplement his gambling . When that time comes, I want you to be ready to buy as many shares as you can to take over the company you understand?" Sophia said it with determination on her voice .
Ann is now seriously thinking about it: " After what she heard about how her beloved grandma suffered to the hand of this people . The so cold relative of them, she wants to pay them back tenth fold of what they did and more . "
"So you"re telling me that it doesn"t matter if you get a bunch of lousy review after this, and loses your stardom you don"t mind as long as you have your family . I think that"s a little bias don you think? You"re a very famous celebrity; you worked very hard to get where you are now . Suddenly you going give it all up for your family . I think that"s bulls.h.i.t! Who are you kidding Me?" Ann is now distraught .
"You might not believe me right now, and I know it will take some time . The wound is so thick and not that easy to heal . I"ll give you some time to think about what I just said . " Sophia was trying to convince her in the process .
" In regards to the other business at hand . Regardless of your decision tomorrow the emergency meeting will still commence . Whether you accept to step in as acting CEO or not, it"s still going to happen . I want you to think about it not for me, your father or the company, but for yourself . Ann this is your legacy; it belongs to you and your future children . I don"t want your children"s generation to receive the same treatment as we did . Three generations are long enough . Your grandma has suffered enough from her family . I suffered enough from your father and his wife family . I hurt you . Combined all of them we had enough for this lifetime don"t you think so?"
Sophia got up and ready to leave: " I will send all the detail to your manager . Do think about it, that"s all I can ask . Sofia gives her a quick hug and a peck on her cheek, walk out the door without looking back with tears falling on her eyes .
Ronald and Leah still by the swimming pool area, waiting for Sophia to leave . As soon as they saw Sophia walking out the lobby door, they run rush to the condo to see how Ann was doing .
As soon as they walk in the condo: "Okay girl spit it out, what"s going on? And don"t lie to me this time you promised me! I think it"s time for you to tell me what"s going on" Lea asking anxiously .
Ronald in the other hand was so quick to make a phone call to Jeff . He wanted to inform him what had happened . Even though Ronald is not precisely sure what had happened, he still needs to report . He doesn"t want to take that chance and get in trouble from Jeff later .
Lea was still waiting for Ann"s reply when she received a text message from Edna . It"s the detail of the location and time of the emergency meeting for the next day . There"s also specific instruction"s need to do when she arrived at the venue .
Leah doesn"t know what"s going on: "This friend of her needed a beating for sure . " she thought . "Ann, I just received a text message for some meeting tomorrow? What"s this message? " She"s asking her friend with a brooding look on her face .
"I"m sorry! Can we talk about it in a while, I got a headache right now, and I need to clear my mind before I tell you everything . Is that alright?" Ann said it with a sad and tired look on her eyes . The last couple of hours spent with Sophia took a lot from her mind and body .
Ronald did not know what to do as he was gazing towards Ann"s direction . All he can do for now is sit and wait for an instruction from Jeff . Unfortunately, he has not returned his call . "He must have some problem with the old man . " He thought .
Ann told Leah and Ronald that she was tired and needed to take a rest . She walks towards her bedroom absent-mindedly: "There are so many things she needs to think about the pros and cons she needs to weigh the most important and the less important . She was contemplating what she needed to do first .
" I need a plan badly, once I figure it out, then I can decide what do to next . Should I wait if Jeff will come today or would he go home to his mansion? I needed to know?" Ann"s going banana, and her hubby is not there to comfort her .
Ann decided to call Jeff: * ring ring ring* No answer: "He must still be talking with his grandfather . That"s why he couldn"t answer his phone; I"ll try again later . " thinking trying to comfort herself .
"But I need to speak with him right now . I cannot make this decision alone he"s my husband . No matter what, we have to make the decision together . At least for now while we"re still married, this also will affect his impending engagement and wedding through the Tan family . "
Ann arrived in the comfort of her room feeling dead tired . She opened the computer and turn it on: " I need to do some research regarding the Tan Corporation if I"m to step in as the acting CEO . I would need to know as much as I can about this company . How can a person run a company knowing nothing about it? I have a lot of things to do . " Ann thought with a grave look on her face .
