Chapter 233 - Holidays for one month
After directors left the hotel, Evan went back to sub branch of INA. The Main office of INA is yet to be s.h.i.+fted to the city, but Jean decided to do the procedure after her marriage with Scott. She will not reveal her ident.i.ty as CEO even after her wedding but work behind the closed doors.
Scott and Jean spent some more time to discuss the gift they have to buy for house warming ceremony. It will be the official first time for Jean to meet his parents in his house, though they are very content with Jean she still decided to impress them more. But little she know that she will be the one to be surprised.
A floor full of their photos and memories, their chambers decorated according to her choices and likings rather than being of Scott"s. To tease her more it is full of privacy only with two way to enter….private elevator and staircase.
Scott dropped Jean in her office and went to Black corporations to discuss about the surprising vacation they have planned which is after house warming ceremony. After this romantic holiday the engagement party will be held just after ten days from then.
Even the span between the marriage and engagement is just half month. The marriage will be simple with only family members attending it. Later the welcome party for brides will definitely be the most extravagant and grand. The engagement party will be conducted in private island for three days.
First day will be Nathan"s and last day will be of Raymond"s.
When Raymond and Scott are indulged in discussing about their sisters, Seline is busy in nagging about her best friend to her grandparents while Jean is busy in scheming against Vanessa.
Jean will be going to her university to attend her exams, which is coincidentally after her brothers engagement party. She will be coming back to the country just two days before their marriages. So, it will be hectic for her to scheme on Vanessa when she will be in foreign country.
At evening Jean joined the boards meeting for the first time. Adam has already got his loyal directors to humiliate Jean whereas Vanessa decided to backfire Jean"s plan. They thought Jean has no one in the board members to support her whereas five most influential and powerful people are in beck and call for her orders.
"As we are here to discuss about mishaps happened in previous year"s budget, I have already looked into it and found some of the loose ends" Jean said in her firm and confident voice.
Adam snickered and looked at her mockingly. "Ms. Grey you are new to this position and how can we expect you to be precise with your work"
"President Grey, you can"t judge people based on their age or experience. What if I submit the solid proofs. Will you dare to take the action against the culprit" Jean smirked as her uncle directly fell in her traps.
He never stops amusing her with his stupidity or with his thoughts of still underestimating her. Even after seeing her real potential very often he still thinks small hindrances can stop her from doing what she wanted.
"It depends on how strong your proofs are and moreover this is called as boards meeting. For your kind information, we discuss and take decisions together. As this is your first time to sit in such a prestigious chair this is my right to help you" he smirked.
Only if he knows how a boards meeting of INA looks like, only if he finds out the power she holds as the youngest woman CEO…..he would have never ridiculed her like this.
Jean rolled her eyes internally and laughed sardonically. She innocently looked at her uncle "Is that so Mr. President then I will gladly ask others opinions also, but if the proofs are very genuine and strong and if majority of the members support it will you take the action" her intimidating and unyielding nature really impacted a frightening effect on the others. If they are not dreaming her way of handling things is so similar to her father"s.
"Yes, that is how it works. But I don"t think you can manage to do this" Adam mocked while others looked at him like he has grown two more extra eyes but still blind. The woman they are seeing now is not the same delicate and sensitive girl from five years back.
"Claudia can you hand over the doc.u.ments to me" Jean asked her PA who already swapped the files which are faked to show Jeans impotence in handling some of the projects.
Vanessa smirked and leisurely leaned on to her chair, while her subordinates sighed after seeing the furrowed expression on Jean"s face.
"What happened Ms. Grey. Please pa.s.s your so called proofs" Adam sarcastically said.
"Hmmm.. Claudia, I think you brought other file. No problem these are the reports that have to be submitted on next meeting. As I already finished them you can look into this" Jean pa.s.sed the files to other directors who gawked at her.
"Ms. Grey, these are various reports we expected you to complete by next month. As you finished them soon is there any reason for this" one of them looked at her with admiration.
"Yes, I will be not coming to office for next one month but my aunt will handle everything for me" Jean smiled. She will be too busy in preparing for her brothers marriage and engagement. She also have to attend exams and also impress Scott"s grandparents.
"You mean Mrs. Grey" Grandpa Tin spoke for the first time. He didn"t understand what she is planning.
"Yes, she already worked for more than ten years so she is potential candidate" Jean spoke softly.
"I am okay with it. You can take leave" Vanessa delightedly smiled. According to her Jean is a fool, she is exactly giving what she needed.
But Jean has totally other thoughts. She is just giving Vanessa some more chances to do whatever she planned. Her misdeeds will be closely monitored by her loyal directors, they will secure every proof and after Jean returns she will at last throw Vanessa out of the company and also home.
Her uncle chuckled softly. "Ms. Grey, where are your so called proofs or else you are bluffing about your capabilities and showing off"
Jean raised her eyebrow at Claudia who sniffled a laugh. "Mam these are the only files in your office" she innocently looked at Jean.
"No problem, of course I have soft copies with me. But as I searched for a them and I couldn"t find my drive at all, anyway those were already sent to every board member as we talk. You will find them soon in your g mails" Jean spoke loudly as others fished out their laptops.
