Chapter 236 - Strange kind of determination...

"Well, Mrs. Brooks.. Thanks for giving me the liberty to change decisions but about the matter of my assistant, I think I had already found one." Diana said looking at certain someone who was trying very hard to hide a little bit away from Diana's eyes.

Mrs. Brooks nodded whereas Diana said, "I already made a judgement about it but I need to be a little bit more time to be sure. But at least I'm not worried anymore as I already got Mr. Brooks' permission or rather I'll mention it as her confirmation...

So give me few more hours to think over everything and I'll tell all of you my decision before the lunch break starts. Thank you everybody.."

"Okay ma'am. That's not a big problem so we can really wait." Everyone said as both Diana left with Mrs. Brooks after glancing at particularly one person for the last time...

Brown Corporation..

Alonzo had come to the office after almost one week of leave which was quite surprising for the directors and other managers of his company as they never had seen their boss to take a leave for so long from the time they were working for him at city B...

They were all settled in an important meeting which was mainly helfd for the discussion about the growth of the Brown Corporation in city S..

Alonzo called all of them to know what had happened in the past few days in his absence in the office.

He also asked if there was any new project for them and how was the progress of the old projects going.. Alonzo was discussing all of this matters with his employees..

Though he was as cold as before but there was some strange kind of determination in his eyes which no one could express clearly.

It was kind of hidden by his stern gaze and cold attitude..

Bill also noticed it and though he could already guess the actual reason behind his Boss's behaviour but still he was not ready to disclose them to other employees as he was not completely sure about the actuality of those assumptions...

So he did the thing which he thought to be the best for the present moment, which was to shut his mouth up for the sake of both his job and life as he focused on the meeting more..

"Boss, so these were all the informations for the last week. Is there anything more you want to ask us?" One of the managers asked while showing him the PPT of a presentation..

Alonzo looked at him seriously before saying, "Everything is going well. But I want to know about the latest progress of Smith's Hotel Project..."

The head of the engineer department who was handling the project looked at Alonzo before narrating, "Boss, the progress is going very good till yet as like our presumptions. But there is a matter which is quite confusing to our engineers who are handling this Hotel Project.."

"And what is it?" Alonzo asked being confused with a frown plastered on his face..

"According to the blueprint of the hotel that was given to us by the architectures of Smith Enterprise, the fountain should be in the middle of the garden.

But we are finding it a little more difficult to place on the exact position as it may shorten the area of the garden which can also create some problems in the future for the parking." The head engineer said in a polite way.

Alonzo listened to him very carefully before nodding his head understandingly as he said,, "Okay, I got it. You continue with the other things. I'll ask Mr. Smith about this problem myself and will try to solve it as soon as possible.."

"Okay boss. Thanks for the help." The head of engineering department said.

"The meeting is adjourned for now. Bill will inform you if there is another meeting for you after lunchtime." Alonzo said before leaving the room while his assistant Bill followed after him..

As soon as he entered his office, Alonzo asked for a black tea from Bill as he sat on his chair rubbing his forehead to suppress the severe headache he was getting from drinking too much alcohol last night.

As it was his first day after his long absence with the new determination in his heart of making Veronica fall in love with him, so he wanted to bury himself in sorrow through alcohol for the last time before saying a goodbye to it..

Soon Bill entered his office with a cup of lack tea and gave it to his boss..

Taking a sip from his tea, Alonzo said, "Plan a meeting with Mr. Smith and ask his assistant if Reuben would have some time for tomorrow for us as it is really a very important matter."

Bill nodded and left his cabin quickly to process with his Boss's order.

He called Reuben's assistant Tom to ask for an appointment and he was told to wait for an hour to get their reply...

Smith Enterprise..

Reuben just ended a call with one of his important client from abroad when Tom entered with some files in his hand..

"Boss, these files required your signs." Tom informed.

Reuben nodded and took the files from his hand before starting to read those files with total concentration and signed it off one after another when he found there was nothing wrong with those papers..

After signing all those files, he handed back them to Tom but instead of leaving, Tom just kept standing there silently without moving even an inch..

Seeing this, Reuben asked Tom with his raised eyebrows, "Do you have something more to tell me Tom?"

Tom did not beat around the bush and nodded his head quickly in affirmation as a response as he informed Reuben, "Yes Boss.. Actually Mr. Alonzo's assistant had just called me few minutes before and asked me if it would be possible for you to have a meeting tomorrow with Mr. Alonzo Brown.."
