Chapter 5 The Boss Showed Up

At the headquarters of Wolf Group International of B City, all the executives were sitting in the conference room, keeping silent. Last night, they received a notice from the CEO's Office at eight o'clock. It said the CEO, who had never shown up before, was coming to the company today. Undoubtedly, he was the most mysterious person in B City. Three years ago, an unknown buyer bid for the most prosperous business block in the center of B City at the price of more than two billion dollars. Later, it cost more than ten billion dollars to build the tallest building of B City, which was named Wolf Group. Within just two years, Wolf Group was involved in many industries and profited well, such as hotel, catering, real estate, financial industry and film-television industry. Wolf Group was the most profitable company in B City. However, no one knew who owned it. This plutocrat had never been seen in public, and even no one knew his real name. The only thing people knew was that his first name was Anthony. Now the boss was about to show up, and all the executives dared not to behave casually. Everyone was sitting properly and making guesses about him. At ten o'clock, someone came closer to the conference room. All the executives looked at the door tensely. Marcus Field came first, who was the Executive President and the Chief Secretary of Wolf Group.  He entered the conference room and bowed, "Sir, please!" And then William Howard walked in casually like a model. William was tall and slender, and he had the air of a noble man with good-looking features. When people saw him clearly, they were all amazed. No one had expected that the mysterious big boss turned out to be such an extraordinary youth. For a moment, everyone was staring at William in shock. But he ignored their reactions and walked to the main seat in the conference room. He sat down and glanced the crowd. His gaze showed the dignity as a superior. Having eye contact with him, the executives immediately withdrew their sights and stood up together to greet him, "Welcome, Mr. Howard!" In fact, William was always rigorous and resolute in his work, so he talked concisely and finished the regular meeting in less than half an hour. Marcus left with him and they entered the CEO's Office soon. The office was decorated at William's will. And it had been vacant for a long time, waiting for its owner's arrival. William looked around and sat down on the large chair with satisfaction. Having been worked for William for a long time, Marcus could see that William was in a good mood at present, so he smiled with relief when standing at the other side of the desk. "Mr. Howard, I think the fact that you are the real boss of Wolf Group will soon be known by others. I wonder how your families will react when they find out." William smiled significantly, and what he said was totally beyond Marcus's expectation. "They won't find out anytime. prepare an internal document and asked all the executives to keep secret." "Are you still going to keep it a secret?" Before that Marcus thought William was to show up in public after returning home from abroad, not expecting that he decided to continue to keep it secret. "My brothers will be go crazy and stressful if I show up in public. It's better for me to be an useless freeloader. After all, my dad is weak now, and I don't want him to worry about us." answered William. Marcus knew very well about the Howard family, as he had been working for William for a long time. The rich and powerful families were always friendly on the surface, but in private, they struggled for equity and property. William had became a so-called freeloader because of his older brothers. If his father had not been badly ill, William wouldn't come home so soon. Now Master Howard was in poor health, and William was as filial as always. He had already endured his brothers for so many years, not minding the situation remaining for a bit longer. Then Marcus replied, "I see. Shall I keep handling the business affairs on behalf of you?" "Yes, everything goes the same as before." As they were talking, Marcus's phone rang. He looked surprise when he heard the person at the other end. After hanging up the phone, Marcus looked at William seriously and began to report. "The identity of the woman last night was figured out. She is Mrs. Howard's nephew, Mason Eich's girlfriend, and her name is Valeria Brown." Hearing this, William felt a little astonished. He thought, "She is Mason's girlfriend? Well, interesting!"
